I didn't get fooled by the fake Sean Duffy quote, but many did—and I can't blame them for it
Why?
Because surely you've noticed that members of the Trump administration say shit this stupid every single day?
Distinguishing yesterday's incomprehensibly stupid shit from today's fake quote is *work*

Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office

They cannot pronounce the words "Mamdani" or "Kamala" and do not know the actual name of the party they oppose, but sure, I bet Mike Johnson has a solid lit-crit handle on what neo-Marxism is as he calls the retirement of an 85-year-old tellingly precipitous

This is a real post from a longtime journalist, presented here without comment other than to say that I know for a fact that there is indeed much worse for people to learn about Trump and Epstein than the already horrifying fact that there are photos of Trump with topless young girls

Please note this: Raising the "salience" of immigration actually worked in Dems' favor in one of the most important swing counties in the country. This is more grist for the idea that attacking Trump is succeeding among the nonwhite working class (see thread below).

I don't know who this guy is, but I certainly hope he is okay. That was hard to watch.
I also want to agree with those who noted how bizarre it is that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., seeing a tragedy unfold before him, hauled ass out of the room like George Costanza during a fire.
What a nauseating man.

Of course they did, and as someone who's been in front of many juries as an attorney I'll tell you why: jurors hate government overreach more than anything, and this case was such a blindingly obvious instance of serious government overreach that everyone associated with it should probably be fired.

My question is whether it was the drug use, Nazi salutes, election interference, racist and antisemitic tweets, creepy pronatalism, chilling sociopathy, puzzling inarticulateness, allegations of IP theft or persistent flouting of US law that pushed Tesla bros over the top on gifting Elon $1 trillion
