even if literally nothing happened and you never once met with him, in what fucking universe is this appropriate for a federal employee without authorization

what fucking possible non-corrupt reason could a supreme court justice of the united states have for taking a yacht to russia and a helicopter to vladimir putin’s hometown within a year of the theater massacre and in the middle of the second chechen war

This “who is the best candidate for the Democratic Party?” question is an important one. It’s the question we are supposed to answer during the DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.💁🏽‍♀️🤬 Pundits fuck around, and families like mine, on the frontlines of Project 2025’s war against us, will be the ones to find out.

I’m going to try to be kind about this, but it’s hard. If you’re nervous and scared about what will happen if trump slimes back into the White House, instead of criticizing Joe Biden for being old, think about what you’re doing to MAKE SURE TRUMP DOESN’T GET BACK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE.

These obviously won't pass. They're equally obviously intended to serve other purposes. But there's a central point that shouldn't be missed here: Thomas's financial antics, in particular are absolutely something that should be the target of an impeachment investigation. And would in a sane world.

Fully agree. Letting people find this on their own and spread it among friends and family they trust is just so insanely more effective than having them hear about it over and over again from Dems running for office.

Reading a story about the election that casually referred to "Biden's slide in the polls" and it just remains remarkable to me that narrative reporters can just drop stuff like that into copy and never think twice about whether it has any basis in fact.

That sort of take wholly ignores that Bernie, the Squad, and a host of other progressives have dragged the party left in measurable ways over the last decade. People who say shit like this are wreckers who will never actually be satisfied.

Anyway, I’m out. I tried beating back the ocean on Afghanistan, Snowden, Yemen, etc. It’s not worth it. I truly hope this doesn’t end in disaster but it feels more likely than ever. We have self destructed because some rich people on TV had a panic attack after a debate. Good for us.

Coming back to this point. Let's say the party/Biden say hey 'OK we're replacing Joe'. Do we know every procedural step the GOP could take to slow down the process? The crux of J6 was to slow a normally non-exciting part of the transfer of power.

Having offered some gloominess, let me also say that the widespread idea that Biden is headed for a near-certain defeat at this point is monumentally stupid. We’re gonna have a multi-billion $ campaign after the conventions. Dem coalition is bigger. And the threat of Trump isn’t that he’s too old.

Also note: the press spin on an event matters. So what they get wrong–perhaps more precisely, what they omit–is deeply important.

IOW: in the name of "nonpartisanship" Joe Kahn's @nytimes.com is making a huge in-kind contribution to Trump by simply failing to cover his campaign in full.

These guys are true freaks and the more people gear about Trump's Project 2025 the more they hate it. Which is why the centrist media (who wants Trump to win) is instead running imaginary "Trump moderates on abortion!" stories

A consistent principle emerging the last 2 weeks is just how badly out of touch the mainstream media and party elites are from the bulk of people in the country. Some kind of feared shift to Trump isn’t happening, and the screaming about a shift will be self-fulfilling. They are incepting a crisis.
