People will tell me not to punch left, but if the left spent half as much time punching Nazis in their midst as they do punching liberals, maybe it wouldn’t be necessary.

the president demanding that one of the primary engines of the country’s economy — thousands of companies, trillions of dollars — rename their core products to suit his whim is tinpot dictatorship shit, and the only reason it doesn’t feel like it is because no one is listening to him

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail. 

“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.”

Underneath is a screenshot of a text. First text is a link to an American Express instructions PDF. Next text says: "You can just send it here. It won't show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express that's all that will show." Final text: "Please."

It’s the “Good czar, bad boyars” thing that Russians use to excuse Putin. It’s not the tyrant’s fault, it’s the fault of the advice the tyrant gets. It’s so stupid. Also, so is Tillis, and everyone pretending like he’s anything but a gutless coward when it matters.
