You, too, seem eager to gloss over the "legality" aspect of this.

We were warned about guys like this in culinary school and were assured that this sort of behavior was on the outs because the industry no longer tolerated it.

That was 25 years ago.

That synagogue attack was awful. Targeting groups of children is terrible behavior that should be vociferously condemned. Right?

Where is the rest of the media on this obvious press manipulation? JFC -- if a Democrat said anything close to this...

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln..."

Episode 5 was arguably the high-water Trek mark for this season of SFA. You might want to give it a shot. (Some of the subsequent episodes are really good as well.)

"No, see - - we need to be fascists for the *right* reasons," said the fascist.

And legality over illegality, which you glossed over completely.

And physically attacking the press is just the price we have to pay for "democracy, " according to you. Neat.

Look up when Maxwell was convicted and ponder both the legality and optics of releasing information being used in a criminal case to damage your political opponent. The press would have crucified Biden. They don't care if Trump does that sort of thing, but it's always different for Democrats.

Reasonableness has nothing to do in this case with efficacy. All you did was guarantee genocide, with the added bonus of terrorizing brown people right here in America. And enabled a host of other democracy-threatening, venal and incompetent actions.

Democrats poll low because even Democrats think they should be doing more. Republicans poll low because sane people disagree with their policies.

False equivalencies are false.

This whole situation is vile and the official reactions are doing nothing to make the situation any less vile.

Take some solace in the fact that the richest man in the world, who was cool enough to get name dropped on Star Trek before he opened his fool mouth, cannot seem to buy any the love and admiration that he so clearly craves.

Like most states, the rural areas are pretty red. But the data shows the opposite of your point - - Tesla is losing market share in the state.

Toyota finished 2025 as California’s top-selling brand, with 17.8 percent market share, further widening its lead over competitors. Honda closed the year in second place, capturing 10.8 percent of the market. By contrast, Tesla registrations declined 11.4 percent in 2025 with market share dropping from 11.6 percent in 2024 to 9.9 percent in 2025 as it slipped to third place in the state. This extends a two-year downward trend for Tesla despite the temporary boost from federal incentives.

Tesla is not the #1 brand in California. The Model Y was the top-selling vehicle in California last year, but Tesla (and the other car brands) sell more than one model of car. www.cncda.org/news/califor...

That said, I ain't going back.

Psychology of People Who Don't Obsess Over Sports YouTube video by Psychology Simplified

I stumbled across this a couple of months ago. Not 100% sure whether the science is sound, but as someone who has never been able to give any semblance of a shit about any sport I would like to think this is accurate.

Aaron Sorkin ruined your brain. There are no magic words that are going to satisfy leftists and condemning people who are actually doing something is a great way to get nothing done.

None of your parsing of her words or ignoring her actions has anything to do with the fact that the OP is basically begging for press conferences.

She's specifically condemning the actions taken by the administration, and she voted in favor of the failed War Powers Act. But she's an example of what the OP is talking about because she didn't use the exact words you think she should have to condemn the actions taken by the administration? Okay.

“What I heard is not just concerning, it is disturbing,” Sen. Jacky Rosen, D-Nev., a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, whose members were briefed. “I’m not sure what the endgame is or what their plans are. ... And if he does want to put us in a forever war, which it seems like he does, he needs to come out and let us be able to have that discussion. “Do you think because he thinks he waves some magic wand that everything just stops? ... It’s not going to stop just because he wishes it to be so,” Rosen said.

So you're pointing me to a Democrat who is doing what the OP wants? That's an interesting argument.

So Republicans are boasting about cuts they're not really making? She should definitely expand on this.

Blocked post

Compelling stuff.

Out of the three things the OP is bitching about Democrats not doing, two basically involve press conferences.

He... always wins?

“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword."

I'm glad the article points out that Donald Trump wouldn't qualify as a "heritage American" but has any journalist bothered asking JD about that?

Pretty sure that's not how equality works.

They say they're doing the troubling thing less often, so we should let them continue to be able to do the troubling thing.

Solid work, judge.

Most workers today have considerably more leisure time than workers from a century ago because textile, farming and housework automations made that possible.
