Dry-eyed observer of politics. Sympathetic to left un-reconstructeds. Thought fascism was done? Woo boy. I’ve got some news for you.

Crossing fingers every time he makes an appearance isn’t the optimal strategy his campaign thinks it is. I’d lend them my wand, but it’s out for repair.

Headline: The French left forms a coalition which defeats the far right in snap elections. Shout out to all those pundits on the proverbial ‘left’ who who reacted with a negative spin. We know who you are.

Fed up with ‘X Congressperson asks Biden to step down’. If the Democrats want to win they need to huddle ASAP and make a decision. The news cycle detracts from covering Trump and what a disaster his presidency would represent.

Never an option for business. Each customer is treated the same. We do act when someone make physical threats, obviously. But that never happens.

The work was then executed flawlessly by our amazing immigrant technician. It’s just going to get worse. Now these people are emboldened. The truck had a Trump 2024 and ammo decals on the rear windshield. *They tell you who they are.

We had a customer who came to us specifically because they didn’t want dirty immigrants (language to that effect) to work on his truck. Said that to our BiPoc/Hispanic sales associates who, in turn, ignored them, and closed the transaction professionally.

Had a client today who told my staff they didn’t want ‘filthy immigrants’ touching their truck. First time ever someone was so openly racist. I expect this kind of encounter will become more of the norm even around these parts - NoVa.

Totally normal day when a customer comes in and tells us they don’t want ‘dirty immigrants’ to touch their truck. This was a first for us. Subtle hint with Trump 2024 and ammo decals on the rear.

Watch for the American Right to begin to make claims that by overreacting to and mischaracterizing the Trump immunity decision, critics are causing “unrest”, and then watch for them to use that to justify the things Trump does.

My point was, while doom scrolling, and panicking, in the middle of the night EST, was that even escapist TV, like The Acolyte, and The House if the Dragon on MAX doesn’t work anymore. Everything I see is mapped back onto the real world.

If the worse happens, and after scores are settled, we will have the spectacle of them eating their own. Who does he go after first? DeSantis? McConnell?

Gonna be a lot of dunking on this today, so as someone who wrote his dissertation on secession movements, let me point out: 1. This is not a majoritarian mvmt. Like 1861 secession in TX, it's a minority coup 2. It looks majoritarian bc of gerrymandering and disfranchisement (1/2)

So when you hear these present-day secessionists talking about an independent Texas, know that they're evolving a "glorious legacy" of a fifth-column movement of proslavery landgrabbers and oathbreakers, one that had disastrous consequences for both Blacks and Natives in the long run.

#OH6 a +29 Trump district had a waiter come within 9 of the Republican last night. Caveats aside - special election etc - this doesn’t seem like their base is fired up. What is knowable about the outcome is that the election will be call ‘rigged’ if Trump doesn’t win.

Trump should obviously be treated as an incumbent given that an overwhelming majority of GOP primary voters think he won in 2020. Getting a little over 50% in the first two states is a very weak showing for an incumbent.

I agree that the Democrats should be pushing to respect norms! Norms like “are you fucking kidding me, this guy tried to do a coup” would be where I started.

Cool. I’m not surprised by her observations. So nice to see this published. Fills a void in Hayek scholarship. I always wondered about the pseudo science. He’s always a kick to read, though.

1)Trump votes are in. If you think this will sway ‘indies’ please see me after class. 2) It doesn’t alter the facts of the case. 3) Cop City anyone? If true, this comes as no surprise to her detractors on the left. 4) Not enough dirt in GA to bury the sh%#t that went down. See #2.

Quite a story. Lots of people use hard drugs but not those with security clearances and billions in federal contracts, which he would now lose if our laws applied to very wealthy people.
