Oh I'm totally fine with CPC keeping him, as much fun as the Schadenfreude would be to watch the party roast him.

Yes, he's annoying af but that's why he's never going to be PM.

My favorite Talk Talk is Life's What You Make It, which was apparently a last minute throwaway when the label was worried The Colour of Spring didn't have a solid single to release.

That Trump is weaponizing the DOJ against opponents isn't terribly surprising, but I suspect that if Trump brings enough "enemies" down, they're going to bring him with them.

I feel ya, but at the same time I struggle to find a better word...

My go-to for this is Eleanor Rigby. It's still mind-blowing to me that a pop group would not just record that, but release it as a single.

I mentally keep conflating him with Roddy McDowell and it leads to an... odd performance visualization

‘77 was a great year 👏

One of the best pilots I've seen in a loooong time.

Not unfair, but also not a choice we'd likely make if it were a fresh proposal today

Jet fuel isn't as toxic to a shoreline as dilbit.

Yes, and there’s a lot more capacity that can ship through that line too with some tweaking. There’s also some reason to believe oil consumption may be peaking soon there

Yeah. There are going to be die-hards. Especially among the guys who'd secretly LOVE to see this normalized for their own sake. But I think this is finally going to hurt Trump. I think Boebert and MTG smell blood in the water.

I bet they're banking on the Ted Nugent wing of the party to normalize this, but I can't believe it's going to gain the support of anyone... sane.

There’s a pivot underway. They know this is going to be bad and they’re bracing for impact and trying to give supporters every chance they can to minimize.

Not “technically”

At least not as far as we know.

“I’m definitely not making an excuse for this” then immediately makes excuses for it
