More revelations every day, but even if he loses this election, Netanyahu is like a cockroach; I fully expect that 30 years from now we'll be seeing headlines saying "Benjamin Netanyahu returns for unprecedented 12th term as Israeli PM at age 106"

Cool. If this is a thing, can the Lynx have them do an investigation on the 2024 Championship?… because Stewie 1000% traveled and was not fouled (challenged and incorrect call upheld). Then there’s the whole commissioner wearing a NY dress component… Just investigate it, please. Thank you.

The constitutional crisis will enter its acute phase in January. All the offenses so far have been with the assent of Congress. That stops next year. He will explicitly seize all of Congress' prerogatives over its objections, with the backing of the courts. And he's going into it with 33% approval.

It is remarkable how many Dems in competitive races are not doing the squishy bipartisanship tapioca routine and are instead just letting rip with these guys are a bunch of evil goddamned nazis who want to take all your rights and are also corrupt as fuck. It’s reading the room, I suppose.

What I *really* want an interviewer to do with these desperate sweaty CEOs is say, "Now that Trump has said he wants you to call it 'Trump Intelligence' instead of 'Super Intelligence', are you planning to update your marketing?" and then don't reveal that you made it up until after they say yes.

I like how the GOP's position is that every single form of labor is trivial and pointless. The only "work" with any purpose or dignity is to be an owner, politician, or talking head. Everything else is contemptible and could be done by anyone with no training. Hence accountants just "do math."

One thing I've learned for dead certain: A man who has a bunch of "crazy" exes is an abuser. They acted "crazy" because he drove them that way with gaslighting, insults, and constant emotional turbulence. Most make a full recovery when he's gone. www.cartoonshateher.com/p/theres-no-...

Modern conservatism began with Goldwater and his opposition to civil rights legislation (it’s why MLK endorsed Johnson). That led to Reagan which led to both Bushes which led to Trump. This aren’t occasional interruptions. Bigotry beats in the heart of the right.

The Plot to Enslave America requires them to destroy the notion of reality and truth. They will use the legal immunity conferred by the captured courts and the technology the tech oligarchs have developed to hasten this plan by flooding the information environment with fake video.

Sorry but you’re full of shit on this topic. For one, it cannot be untied from the hands of oligarchs and corporation. Second, it cannot be liberatory, it never will be. It does not work in the way the people hyping it claim. It can be used as a tool but it’s not paradigm changing.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

all the "RESPECT THE TROOPS HONOR THE TROOPS STAND FOR THEM AND SUPPORT THE TROOPS" stuff the media pushed since 9/11 was a joke. A laugh to them. Every time it collided with whatever it was that Republicans want to do, the troops lose. Trump goes to soldiers' graves and laughs at them!

Well Tom, it’s not what you say now - it’s kinda easy looking at a house engulfed in flame and saying “Yep, that’s a fire.” But back in the Bush years? When smoke was coming out and others started saying, “There’s gonna be a fire here” That woulda been useful. Harder. But useful.

this is all a joke to them because far-right conservatives think that rape is good, and that high status men should be entitled to rape any women around them who are not also already attached to other high-status men. this is their actual ideology
