Great post. Thanks. Should this be "prices"? Or am I just not getting something obvious? 😅

For Republicans it looks like 55 say his own interests (a lot/some), 53 say his friends and family, but 64 say "people like me". Did they ask mostly Trump's friends?

As others have pointed out, Rufo's wife is Thai, and eventually that minority will get its own "question". One wonders if their point is, minorities are fine as long as they marry whites? Dinesh basically said as much recently.

Agree. Also, perhaps this guy shut the fuck up about matters he doesn't understand, since he doesn't realize that Popes are elected by the college of Cardinals

I'm not sure "revenge porn" is accurate here. Many of the victims have no connection at all to the perp. There is no "revenge" at play. Just a sadistic attack. But, I'll admit, I don't have a better term in mind yet.

This actually just means that HE didn't know. He got it wrong once and a staff member, or a spell check corrected him. He can't be wrong unless everyone else is also wrong too, hence "nobody knows". This is old though, next time he'll just do an executive order that the word is spelled how he wants.

Wasn't one member of Congress actively communicating by phone with the oath keepers? Or at least they were trying to reach him.

I think this is correct. It's the bumper sticker answer of course. It's the phones, plus the Internet broadly because this probably happens but more slowly if we all just had laptops and wifi. And it's the model that emerged (everything free but ad supported).

Thanks. You're thinking the cattle ranchers might have been making progress on having ice raids reduced, and this story could have been a plot to head them off from doing so? (Sorry if this is obvious. It's still early 😀)

So what happened here? Did the Daily Wire make it up for clicks? Did the Whitehouse feed it to them in the hope that it makes it news and they think the doubling down helps them? I'm confused about why this all happened

My guess is they asked for their entire wishlist thinking they have him over a barrel. He gives them everything for them to let him off the hook, or they keep going with that status quo. He's not ready to make that deal yet I guess.

I've been thinking a version of this for years. I will always cheer the Vikings and hate the Packers. I hated Favre until we signed him and then he was the best! Not really on either count of course but it's part of the act/game. Politics should not be like that.

I think we're in dangerous territory if we act as though everyone who works in a factory is exploited. Some are, most aren't. We should work to ensure none are.

Can't both of these things be true without hypocrisy? I might think more teachers and more journalists would be better for America, while recognizing that I personally would be bad at both jobs and shouldn't hold one. @crampell.bsky.social

That or(and) a different kind of risk. Today's story about a hallucinated intelligence report that was almost acted on, where an AI gave wrong info and too many humans just copied and pasted the output without thinking www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...

Could the answer be that no other inflationary period had a global pandemic right before it? That a lot of people still think in terms of before/after COVID? That it impacted a lot of things that we still haven't realized yet?

Is this going to be the new TPP though? Something that is broadly a good thing with some risk to manage, but that the outrage merchants gin up so it's impossible to win election without being against it? And the result is holding the US back while other countries advance without us?

Do you suppose that some people actually want to behave as badly as the GOP, that's what this is about, but deep down they know they couldn't', shouldn't so they want someone to give them permission, so when it fails or backfires it is someone else's fault

I think the above is correct. If he is wearing one, that in itself is both for us to mock or for him to be ashamed of. On the other hand, it should be known, and the secrecy suggests he at least believes it would not reflect well on him (because of his past statements about others, and deception)

I was in SE rural MN a couple of weeks ago. Trump county, right before our primaries. I saw hardly any Lindell signs and only a handful of Trump signs. (Lindell even won this county, but not over 50%). Much lower support now, and remaining support is much quieter

Nice idea but if it's repurposed, the Republicans will just run on turning it back into a ballroom and suddenly that will be the most important thing to Republican voters. If it is torn down the the east wing rebuilt, no voters will be in favor of tearing down the east wing a second time
