Everyone in Trump II deserves to be booed loudly and relentlessly every time they show their faces in public for the rest of their lives, but there is a whole other level of booing that should greet people who did less than nothing and then talk about how hard it was. apnews.com/article/thom...

I think it’s easy to write people off because they are Trump supporters and so you should do it.

Just a reminder: Tillis persuaded the woman Hegseth allegedly raped to come forward with her story, and told her that if she did, it would sink the nomination. She did. At great risk to herself. Tillis then cast the deciding vote for Hegseth. Because he’s a goddamned coward.

this is what I've been thinking about every day since I heard about it
If a man got blackout drunk in a room with seven women, he'd be in the safest place on earth.

Someone would hand him water. Someone would make him toast.
Someone would dig Advil out of the bottom of her purse. He'd wake up on the couch with a blanket tucked around him and his phone charging.

Now flip it.

I can't stop sitting with that difference.

Hard to see how you "just get back to work" on legislation to be implemented by incompetent and/or criminal cabinet members like Vought and Bessent and Hegseth and Mullin and Blanche. They are more of a problem than Trump and have to be reined in or impeached before any work can get done.

small rant / PSA: the new "normal" at restaurants is that they charge you a non-negotiable 3-4% fee (to collect credit card swipe fees no doubt) then add tax and then suggest you tip based on the grossed-up amount wrong on so many levels, don't be bullied into it, tip on the base amount

The only businesses that are doing fine are the ones selling digital brain rot while paying no tariffs and very little taxes. What a curious coincidence. Almost as if someone is picking economic winners and losers, and physical businesses were designated to be losers.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the autonomous vehicle developers who most vocally argued that society must accept a certain number of deaths to enjoy the technology's safety benefits (Tesla & Uber ATG) were the only ones who killed people and never actually delivered on their promises

Just got around to reading the full transcript of Time magazine's interview of Trump. His brain is goop. He said of the judge in the Kennedy Center case: "The judge is a Trump hater, radical left Trump hater. His wife uses a different name." His wife uses a different name? So what?

No, NYT, he hasn't "moved ethical lines" we've got a comically weak Congress that has let this evil, demented and corrupt president openly steal from us and give us the finger 🖕 while doing it just bc he's getting away with it (for now) doesn't mean ethics have changed
