Trying to imagine things that would shore up the base for Biden ahead of the election better than an Elon Musk perp walk, and I'm having a hard time

I wish someone kept a list of all the imbeciles who said Elon Musk is a free speech hero so I could waggle a middle finger in their insipid faces until it fell off

It's not so much that we like Keir Starmer, it's that we got to see the Tories' complete collapse.

This is the editorial view of the guy who controls which posts get shown on Vichy Twitter and which get buried. Insane that journalists continue to use it as a source of information and contribute to its legitimacy

Maybe it's because "permanent politicking" isn't really a thing in the UK the way it is in the USA...

Imagine paying someone to write these columns -- like, real money! -- on the assumption that there's an audience out there that not only *wants* to hear these pearls of wisdom but absolutely *needs* to hear them for the good of the nation. It's baffling.

Imagine writing a NYT piece talking about how the court, actually, is good right now.

But Will Baude did it! Essentially, saying that all they get wrong was the Trump cases — and then insists, sort of, IDK, that even that was for what they thought were good reasons. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/05/o...

Former president Donald Trump sought Friday to distance himself from a conservative think tank’s plan, known as Project 2025, for the next Republican presidency, as Democrats work to make it a political vulnerability for Trump in the November election.

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

McEntee for those of you who don’t know is a wildly misogynistic alpha male TikTok influencer who posts on an account called “Date Right Stuff.” He’s also a failed college quarterback who entered politics through via a Fox News job he got from his industry dad and a viral trick shot YouTube video.

Today in "Trump didn't write this, someone on his campaign staff did." I don't know if Kellyanne Conway is working for Trump these days but this feels more like her style, voice, and syntax than Trump or those posting on his behalf recently.

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.
