The assessment of Trump's UN speech that ends comparing his rantings to those of King Lear on the heath has finally arrived. Enjoy. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-un-ad...
Trump’s UN Address Was a Tragedy of Shakespearian Proportions
Of course, the president’s main messages today were ones of irrationality and instability, so who knows what the plot points and soliloquies will be tomorrow or next week.

I understand some of you don't have TikTok, but if you do, know that the explanation below is the best I've seen of what lay behind the Kirk assassination.

Robinson is an alt-right nihilist, but in a way that's hard for many to understand.

I think Aidan says what I want to say better than I could.
It was a shitpost. Check out Know Your Meme for more of the history on it, or john ganz, or my newsletter #kirk #owo

You may all remember a decade ago when white supremacist groups were actively recruiting online to try to get apolitical young white male incel gamers into their community.

Well, it worked. And where those two groups met was in nihilism, irony, isolation, and ultraviolence.

The picture is starting to become clear. Conventional MAGAs like Governor Cox and Kash Patel can deliberately misread the evidence all they like, but the truth always comes out eventually. Tyler Robinson is a Groyper; it is that theory of the case that explains everything about how we got here.

Social media users speculated whether a suspect arrested in Kirk’s fatal shooting was linked to the white nationalist’s following.

A simple truth:

For 15 years the man in the Oval Office was best friends with the most notorious child sex trafficker and pedophile in American history.

If that one fact isn't enough for you to believe he should be removed from office, than you're okay with child sex trafficking and pedophilia.

‼️“Narco war” is a cover. Don’t fall for it. Puerto Rico is the test case—and we’ve got 48 hours to make our voices heard by senators before the vote.

Vieques was bombed and poisoned for decades. Cancer rates soared. Only global outrage forced the Navy out in 2003.

Now it’s happening again: 10 F-35s and U.S. warships. They call it a cartel mission. The reality is militarization.

If the NDAA passes without protections, Puerto Rico becomes a permanent forward base, and a blueprint for militarizing America anywhere.

It's really quite stunning that we have a president of the United States who could sue anyone calling him a child molester for defamation and it would be virtually inconceivable that he could raise a triable issue of fact that the defendant acted with actual malice under New York Times v. Sullivan.

Even — wayyyyyy down — when the AP finally notes Friday's litigation, they sand the edges for the Trump administration, failing to mention that the administration "reversed course" BECAUSE IT WAS AN ILLEGAL "AIM" AND A JUDGE WAS READY TO ISSUE AN ORDER BLOCKING THEM IF THEY DIDN'T REVERSE COURSE.

The @apnews.com story on the past 24 hours feels like malpractice to me.

I don't understand how this credulous presentation works, journalistically.

Half of these opening four paragraphs is just taking the Trump administration's absurd presentation as fact.
