I don't understand why more people don't connect Trump calling Somalis "garbage" with the Hutus calling the Tutsis "cockroaches" and the Nazis calling the Jews "vermin." We know where it starts, and we know where it ends.

Every world leader thinks Trump is a pathetic joke. Now they’re doing things just to mock him and get under his skin. America has broken all its alliances, destroyed its influence everywhere, depleted its military power. We’re a paper tiger and everyone knows it.

I'm never going to get over the fact that the president of the United States paid a woman more than $5 million after a jury found him liable for raping her. And he's still president. And people still support him. Never. Get. Over. It.

Executive summary: 1. U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. 2. Iran blocked Hormuz. 3. Ceasefire. 4. In exchange for Iran reopening Hormuz, U.S. will remove all prior sanctions, pay $300B, remove all military forces, never threaten Iran again, force Israel to withdraw from Lebanon.

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

worth remembering how short and simple the 15th Amendment is, as well as how sweeping its grant of congressional authority is. the idea that this doesn't cover a ban on racial gerrymanders is transparent horseshit
Fifteenth Amendment
Section 1

The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude–

Section 2

The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

The case against Comey will obviously fail, but a conviction isn’t the point. For Trump, the indictment: - makes clear that he can prosecute his enemies based on nothing but his whims, without regard for merit or evidence - scares other prosecutors into obedience - imposes hardships on a foe

The case against Comey will almost certainly fail. For Trump, that’s not the point.
The new indictment against the former FBI director checks a set of boxes for the president, none of which has anything to do with securing a conviction.

Here’s my theory. When Trump posted his “civilization will die” tweet he had already decided that he has to stop the war. He needed it to look like the Iranians were scared and decided to give in. So he bluffed. The guy doesn’t realize that everyone sees right through him.

The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.

Biden was the most economically progressive president since LBJ at least, he pursued a full-employment economy at huge political risk, it worked spectacularly. And what happened is that the entire progressive universe decided that he must not have done any of it, or else he would have been popular
