Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

yes, we boiled the planet, but it was worth it to make a machine that, instead of adding two plus two, takes the statistical average of every answer to questions containing "what" "is" "two" and "plus" from a database of illegal cell phone transcripts and returns a fake nude pic of a high schooler

the “some folks just need killing” thing out of north carolina reminds me of a third thing these annoying people are right about: as long as the republican bloodlust grows and their power is unbroken, every election probably will be the most important one of your life

I am not kidding when I say that Romancing the Vote has out-organized and done more to materially improve conditions in the southeastern US than any explicitly leftist org. Romancelandia ain't here to fuck around.

This is Stephen Miller's law firm. They're also currently repping a TV reporter suing CBS-LA for being anti-white, which as a former CBS-LA reporter I think is absolutely laughable. But they're trying to create still more legal precedent for a racist takeover, it's clear

Remember how the "retail theft crime wave" disappeared as soon as companies had to do their annual reports? That's because it's illegal to lie to shareholders.

One way the discipline of history is different than political science is that, in the former, the Americanists have had their hair on fire for a decade. Admittedly, scalp flammability is a relatively new subfield differentiator; It’ll be at least a decade before the law schools discover it…

#RS500 192 One of the biggest albums of my high school days, not just bc it made my Stuy Phys Ed shirt instantly cool.

This wasn’t hindsight either. A lot of us argued at the time that they should be expelled. Then Joe Biden didn’t even mention it in his inaugural speech two weeks later. Not expulsion. Not the coup attempt itself. Just…nothing.

All I’m gonna say is is that heritage foundation statement is a declaration of war and it’s 3 days until 4th of July. Be very aware of your surroundings going forward. Americans are in a very dangerous spot where violence may happen very quickly.

Probably the weirdest thing from my dissertation research is the time Ollie North defamed his “old friend” Manuel Noriega in a Call of Duty game, who then sued Activision, Giuliani defended them, then the director of that game went to the Atlantic Council to advise the Pentagon on future threats. 🤷‍♂️

I swear I don't get any kick backs for reposting this but the underlying issue is the media has a bias against protest especially liberal protest. It's called the protest paradigm and its been documented for more than 40 years at this point. Link in next skeet.

This is the ball game folks, the authoritarian green light laid out in advance. Congress will not impeach Trump. And SCOTUS now blesses him with extraordinary latitude to do whatever he wants in power. A second administration will not be constrained by Congress, the courts, the bureaucracy or law.
