personally I would like to see Tracey and Hanania run over the edge of a cliff and then look down, pause for a few seconds, and fall, leaving imprints shaped like themselves by the impact.

as longtime readers know i am a longtime hegseth hater, but i think bouie is right here to note that hegseth's remark that "trannies" are out of the military is, by itself, an impeachable offense obviously much else besides, but i want to dwell on this

the author of this 2022 piece has a book coming out about the collapse of her marriage. While there are heterosexual couples in open relationships that survive, I don't think any of them are writing articles about it. www.theparisreview.org/blog/2022/06...

The simple answer, btw, is to pick a couple high-profile targets and destroy them. And the painfully obvious two to start with are (1) Elon's companies and (2) Oracle. The Oracle Corporation is one of the worst rent-seekers in the US. And Elon's just committing crimes left and right.

I mean this is kind of rich from people who are typically angrier at liberals than anything on that list, too. But beyond that, people who want progressive parties to be successful are going to be more critical when those parties make boneheaded moves.

The Green Party successfully getting liberals more angry than ooh, I don't know, an actual genocide, far right oligarchs taking over the world's democracies, impending climate collapse...

there is no leftist literature as embarrassing as the "anticorruption is bourgeois and you have to understand that the politics of the working class are inherently patrimonial" literature which followed Lavo Jato and PT's total failure to do literally anything to reform.

Slander is spoken; libel is written. But this isn't either of those. It's detailed reporting from a respected outlet with damning evidence. And "most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history" is as impressive as "shortest NBA player from Luxembourg"

Speaking on behalf of Lutnick, the White House said: "The BBC's pathetic and desperate attempt to slander Secretary Lutnick will do nothing to change the fact that he has been the most consequential Commerce Secretary in modern history."

I have been thinking for awhile about what we will need to do to destroy Musk in a way that also shatters his support among the elite tech crowd. The Ossoff administration going hard against him is necessary but will also martyr him. We will need tech labor to flex its muscles at the same time.

what the fuck is wrong with the teamsters man Roger Marshall is a ghoul who sued his own patients and threw them in prison!

Kansas Teamsters Back Pro-Labor Candidate for U.S. Senate
Press Contact: Kara Deniz Phone: (202) 497-6610 (Topeka, Kan.) - Today, Teamsters Local 696 endorsed Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) for re-election to the U.S. Senate.
"Sen. Marshall has proven time and time again that he is a friend of labor," said Teamsters General President Sean M.
O'Brien. "As a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Sen. Marshall has been eager to partner with us on legislation that protects workers, even when it requires breaking rank with his own party. We look forward to continuing to work together with Sen. Marshall to fight for the rights of hardworking Americans."
