My Lyft driver to the Aspen Ideas Festival was a Trump-Trump-Trump-Trump-Trump-Trump voter. He said that if Democrats don’t stop being so woke, he will have no choice, but to give Trump a seventh term. -David Brooks, 2039

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Americans were fascinated by the plight of the Afrikaners—so much so that they came in droves to see the Boer War reenacted on Coney Island and at the World’s Fair.

The recent resettlement of a few dozen Afrikaner “refugees” points to a longer history of U.S. fascination with these Dutch-descended white South Africans.

from today's post, on the Pythonesque farce that is Donny's Iranian clusterfuck please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/4nrAeDN (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)
note that not one person has criticized the pilots, who in fact did an amazing job — but Donny and his flunky, Brave Sir Drinksalot, are trying like hell to make this about the pilots. they’re pretending that any criticism of the operation is criticism of our loyal and patriotic pilots. how dare you!

they’re doing this in order to deflect from the real culprits in all this: their own incompetent selves.

the fault lies with Brave Sir Drinksalot, who fired every Pentagon expert who would have known how to get this shit done — and the fault lies with Donny, for not leveling with the American people and admitting that his Glorious Iranian Adventure didn’t turn out as glorious as he imagined.

We The People are being fed, as always, a steady diet of lies.

what fairy tale we going to hear next, that Iran’s Supreme Leader turned the Mad King into a newt, but then he got better?

this isn’t foreign policy. this is farce.

it would be funny, except for the part where the assholes on both sides aren’t lobbing cows at each other.
they’re using real bombs.

So the consensus is in. The roots of all America’s problems are: 1. Billionaires are paying too much tax. 2. Too many people prepared to do the most demanding work for low wages. 3. Too much scientific research. 4. Too much affordable healthcare. 5. Too many pronouns.

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden: They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it. 5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

The Supreme Court must be expanded to 15 Justices, and each SC Justice must retire at 75. I’m not sure if I can support a Democratic presidential candidate who doesn’t make major SC reforms a priority.

Trump says he wants a special prosecutor to validate his debunked lies about the 2020 election
Zero Border crossings for the month for TRUMP, verses 60,000 for Sleepy, Crooked Joe Biden, a man who lost the 2020 Presidential Election by a “LANDSLIDE!” Biden was grossly incompetent, and the 2020 election was a total FRAUD! The evidence is MASSIVE and OVERWHELMING. A Special Prosecutor must be appointed. This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America! Let the work begin! What this Crooked man, and his CORRUPT CRONIES, have done to our Country in 4 years, is grossly indescribable! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
