Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Why bother having a public vote if you’re going to change the name to something else anyway? Who the heck is going to say, “Let’s meet at the Plaza del Pueblo?”

Wrote about Michael Bennet's heel turn against establishment Democrats www.jezebel.com/establishmen...
The jig is up in the Democratic Party. The base has shifted, and they don’t want the kind of capital-friendly and compromise-minded politics that made Bennet the apple of Barack Obama and other establishment Democrats’ eyes. People want fighters, not folders, as Brad Lander famously said. We can fight about socialism versus liberalism later on when we can afford the luxury of ideological debates, but for now, this is a crisis and we need serious people willing to call it one and propose the major reforms needed to pull this constitutional car out of the ditch.

So, this very sympathetic piece where the subject is “a lifelong Democrat who had voted for Trump for the first time in 2024”. 5 minutes of checking his facebook shows pro Trump posts as far back as 2019, and a post saying that he “stands with Trump” posted just a couple of days after Trumps coup.

I grew up in Los Alamitos (405 x 605) in the 1960’s, when there was regular cooling marine influence from cooler ocean waters. By the time I left in the mid-70’s, summers already felt muggier, and onshore winds were dying out. LA was paved over by then, too.

There were more men in a single documented gang rape at one school than the number of competitive trans athletes nationally. But I’ve heard a lot more politicians being asked about protecting girls from one of these scenarios and not another… I’ll let you guess which is which.
