The difference between the spike in global oil prices now versus 2022 is that this time the US president single-handedly caused it to happen overnight with a policy while accepting no responsibility, while the US president in 2022 was blamed for it even though he didn’t cause it.
"I spoke to a former schoolteacher, who started his own business. He says he can no longer compete with these Mexican imports despite providing a higher quality product. I'm fighting for small businessmen like Walter White."
Scenes from a personalist regime: it is the presidential vibes that determine when the opponent has surrendered and when the war is over, not any pesky observable facts
Going for a self-oop there is objectively hilarious
Really obscene to display Kirk, who attacked the Civil Rights Act, with Washington, who quietly poured considerable resources into legal challenges to Jim Crow (which would have put his career and life in jeopardy in contemporary Alabama had it come to light).
I’m all for welcoming converts. But Rufo isn’t a slow learner. He’s an architect of this hellscape. If he’s truly repentant, he needs some time in the wilderness.
And maybe — *maybe* — after that . . . he can go fuck himself.
2026 is the year we make the 17 minute Donna Summer version of MacArthur Park the premier anthem for athletic achievement
The mass deportation of 13-14 million people has impacts on millions and millions more people, either millions of their loved ones who are US citizens or millions more coworkers, friends, and associates.
what is even the point of this

It is absolutely a choice.
Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.
Vote to fund ICE or ICE will kill more people, says cross-wearing psychopath
No appointee of this administration even bothers to create the appearance of doing their job anymore, just openly serving as the president's personal apologist and attack dog. Completely illegitimate government
I think collectively, we at least partially wanted the child at the Super Bowl to be Liam because the little boy on stage looked happy and healthy and our hearts want so badly to think these children can somehow magically recover from the evils our government is doing.
To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

this is a wicked man who knows he is being wicked and does it anyway
Just a fundamentally evil, malevolent person. Rotten to the very core.
Finally got around to a bit of research I'd been meaning to explore, and: There is no documented instance of an ICE officer being identified and assaulted while off duty because he wasn't masked. www.pbump.net/o/ices-excus...
vance has to stay on the good sign of the teen nazis that are his primary constituency
Operation PARRIS is one of the most heinous things this administration has done yet. Trump’s people ordered ICE to round up 5,600 legally present refugees, people who have done NOTHING wrong, with no warning, and jailed them in Texas to be interrogated about their status.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.
This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.
this guy is a terrible liar who genuinely believes he is great at lying
Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.
The government is taking people who’ve done everything the right way, and who go to every appointment and fill out every piece of paperwork and abducting and hauling them to Texas and making them start the whole process over again
Rand Paul up to his usual dipshittery. "The NSF spent $8 billion to study whether Japanese qual are more sexually promiscuous while on cocaine"
The total NSF budget was 9 billion. I doubt they spend 89% of it on quail.
