I didn't need to know specifically that a sexual assault allegation would be why Graham Platner never sets foot in the U.S. Senate. Something was always going to derail him.

I love seeing prime Odegaard. The slander he got last season from the casual fans of our club was scandalous. He’s one of the best players I’ve ever seen play for us.

I wrote about the the war, and how it was inevitable that Trump was going to lose as soon as he launched a war of aggression unprovoked. abandoning any sort of moral high ground is it turns out a strategic disaster. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/trump-lost...

I have been saying for years that Democrats should run against Republicans on the issue of corruption. Make fighting corruption the centerpiece of their hopefully populist campaigns. Well, if they don’t run on corruption this year, against Trump, then they deserve to lose.

Great piece by @alonpinkas.bsky.social—Trump and Netanyahu are co-authors of the fiasco in Iran. They have helped each other fail. It could not have happened to two more deserving monsters. newrepublic.com/maz/article/...
newrepublic.com
Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu share a lot of traits. They are both solipsistic, mendacious, narcissistic, and paranoid megalomaniacs who perceive themselves as victims of a cabal of elites. Now they share something else: They have lost a war together. Driven by vanity and hubris, the U.S. president and Israeli prime minister miscalculated Iran’s mettle, and now their mutually inflicted failure is causing them considerable political harm at home. What started as a Smith & Wesson partnership has degenerated into a Thelma & Louise ending.

Laura Thornton: Lots of reasons but one thing I’ve learned from my decades abroad is that nothing infuriates and unites people more than corruption and poor economy. And Orban’s govt had it in spades. Corruption should be the center theme of every campaign, and how it is hurting you.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

Hypocrite. If Trump is a danger to the republic, which he obviously is, he should be impeached. Period. Only if you just want to remove him for political reasons does it matter who the vice president is. Besides, there’s no way Vance could get away with all the crazy shit that Trump does.

Even if you had no moral scruples about it (and that's completely disqualifying for why anybody should listen to you), these people endorsing Platner are absolute idiots about how the general election is going to go when the obvious attack ads start flooding the state the second he wins the primary.

"Trump's attack on Iran is terrifying in part because it's so untethered from policy goals and logic. He offered a range of half-hearted explanations for his rush to war, but the conflicting excuses only underlined the obvious truth — he attacked Iran because he felt like it."

40 years ago, I was driving a NYC taxi in cross-town traffic with my elbow out the window on a hot summer day. A pedestrian trying to cross the street got visibly annoyed as I came to a rolling stop. When I realized it was Robert Redford, I called out "Sorry, Bob." He laughed and waved to me.

The Democrats have many faults, but they didn't nominate a corrupt autocrat for the presidency, or sit idly by while he trashed the Constitution & tried to subvert an election. Conservatives used to believe in responsibility. It's time to stop blaming the left for the moral failings of the right.
