This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Too on the nose

Two things here.

One, you don't sit there and whine about media coverage and headlines if things are going well.

Two, the administration is just outright saying that they fully expect Ellison to use CNN to be a Trumpist propaganda organ.

You know what we're not griping about enough? That Donald Trump's face is going to be on U.S. currency—on $1 coins—later this year. This will be the first time a living president has appeared solo on a coin, and one of the very few times a living individual has ever been on U.S. coinage.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

I just keep coming back around to, "there is a reason that no previous president did this foolish thing and it was not because they were weak, woke cowards, but because they could read a cost-benefit analysis."

Most of Trump's first term cabinet referred to him at some point as a moron or a stunted child, so a military blunder of epic proportions was inevitable once he got the keys to the Pentagon and no adult supervision.

It's so bad that we've reached a point where members of Congress casually discuss stripping citizenship from and deporting people because they don't like their views.

It’s coming on Iran.

shoplifting is bad. cheating on your taxes is bad. smoking on the train is bad. not picking up your dog’s poop is bad.

we live in a society, act like it!

The US and Canada go to Daylight Savings Time tomorrow morning.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

This should go great

If you haven't done it already, it's well worth reading all of this October 2024 exchange between Cenk Uygur & Stephen Miller. Thx to Cenk U. for presciently focusing on reality when the entire corporate media refused to do so on principle.

I'm sorry, if you're going to make a big show about how you've got a Department of WAR helmed by a Secretary of WAR and staffed by WARfighters, it's totally inane to then claim that your massive bombing of a foreign country constitutes something other than a war.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” - Trump, 11/1/24

“I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop wars.” - Trump, 11/5/24

It's been an issue for several cycles. There is a contingent of Dems that require a candidate to reach around and tickle all their bits. And, of course, another contingent with the same requirements, but different bits.

The outcomes are obvious, but they seem to still not quite get the assignment.

So is it really too fucking much to ask people WHO ARE ALREADY ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE AISLE as the Dems to suck it the fuck up and not require "being excited" or getting everything in the progressive grab bag in order to go and vote against the fascist?

I hope John Roberts signed all his mortgage paperwork correctly

Remember this, next time one of three pops off about judicial activism or originalism. It’s all a con.

Perfect visual of a president who openly, flagrantly believes he is above the law.

I can’t wait to tell our kids about how we stopped the autocrats.

This just gave me a huge boost of new energy.
