I love this for her.

I haven't laughed so hard in months.

FOX NEWS reporter: I... [trembles] I tried to ask a gotcha question and [sniffs] President Trump... he... [fights back tears] he... almost defended him! [Blows nose into comically large hanky]

Mamdani is everything Trump knows he isn't but desperately wants to be, Mamdani clearly knows how to use that, and the right wing media ecosphere is absolutely losing their shit over it.

Pass the popcorn

There are ways to manipulate insecure narcissists like Trump and it looks like Mamdani knows a few of them.

And the absolute meltdown on the right over it is a huge W for Mamdani and democrats as well.

Trump is so easily manipulated, particularly by people he sees as strong or who he is secretly envious of. Mamdani is both, and smart enough to use that to his advantage.

Half the people against socialism don't even know what it is, and the other half depend on it in at least one form to live.

At least do the Kirby refraiming thing like Jason Crow did to that FOX News talking head. Stop arguing on their terms, make them fight on purs.

Sea sponge

"We are sad to see the sex pest whose disproven economic theories continue to wreak havoc in the world leave the class. Anyway, here's his replacement, the guy who fell for George W Bush's lies so badly that until last week, everyone thought he would die as Labor's least popular Prime Minister"

The kids are alright. But also pissed off.

And then, as if Cheery wasn't enough yo make the point, he wrote Monstrous Regiment and said it again with his whole damn chest.

GNU Terry.

I will say it again: If you ask me what about if x is in the files, what you are really asking for is permission for you to excuse whoever you think is in there that you really want to excuse.

You're not getting that from me, and moreover, I am damn well judging you for seeking that permission.

You give them credit when they do good things and criticism when they don't do good things or when they do bad things.

Which is, like, what we're supposed to do with politicians.

IANAL but "not in so many words" doesn't sound like a thing. It either says it or it doesn't.

It's incredible how hard the government is working to not put anyone on the stand who knows anything.
