Pete is lost in terms of modern war. I use the example of this outgunned Ukrainian army officer who successfully terrorized a Russian unit for weeks because she "did the math." At the time, someone commented, "yeah, in combat, 'I did the math' beats 'I can do 100 pushups' every time."
Ukrainian female soldier: Okay, I said the idea is this: There is enough time to empty one full can of 32 grenades and be gone by the time the return mortar fire reaches us. I did the math.

It’s so weird how when you tell the rest of the world to go fuck itself and fill your nation’s streets with gangs of armed, masked, and unaccountable armed thugs and terrorize people at the border…that people will decide to vacation elsewhere. Who could have guessed?

I love Lanterns, but I find it insane that a show would have a scene where a selfless quarterback character publicly draws attention to his offensive line, but then calls up to the stage people wearing numbers like 29, 45, etc. All while people wearing 58, 60, etc. clap from the bleachers! Aliens?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Kitchens on fire off the oil in the ovens. I watched tokens glitter in the dark near the skeeball grate. All those moments will be lost in time, like pizzas in rain. Time to die.

Never sell anyone out. In fact, if you're asked about banning 12-year-olds from softball, just say, "You're asking me to sell out kids for my political career. I'm not going to do that. Let's stop demonizing people in tougher circumstances than you or I will ever experience. They have guts."

Today I ate Blumhouse Cheetos, which contain a mystery flavor described on the bag as “Sweet Phantom Heat.” These really may be the weirdest food I have ever eaten in my life. My mouth feels like it is trying to remove itself from the rest of my body in protest.

They are called “Sweet Phantom Heat.” But they’re really more like Spicy Cinnamon Raisin.

I happened to see Ann Wagner's television ad on Sunday. It's truly disgusting in its aggressive transphobia and dishonesty. Missouri deserves better than someone that cynical and cruel.

Like someone like Tammy Duckworth is safe as hell. She’s a blue Dem in a safely blue seat. And yet she’s out here saying “don’t try to remove the fascist racist from office, maybe he’ll see the light now.” What message does that send people other than “just give up?”

I started following politics in the late 90s and I’ve learned a lot. The Democrats honestly don’t seem to have learned anything from the right pandering under Clinton to the excesses of Bush and Trump. The only logical conclusion is throwing the game on purpose.

NYT has now independently corroborated all the major allegations against Susan Collins in the ProPublica report, including that investigators were prepared to move against her and then Trump intervened to shut it down. This put Trump in a position of exceptional and extortionate leverage over her.

F.B.I. Shut Down Inquiry Into Top Ally of Senator Susan Collins
The inquiry was closed last year because senior bureau officials questioned the veracity of a campaign donor’s account, according to current and former officials.

@realDonaldTrump

Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing “Revolution?” President DONALD J. TRUMP

I think Trump has lumbered into a genius strategy: The press is going to go wall-to-wall trying about how existentially horrible the ban is, rather than keep talking about all this other terrible news. Not that the ban isn't horrible! But I think it might gave Trump what he needs.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.
