Reading American Scoundrel right now and Roy Cohn must be absolutely beaming as he gazes up from Hell at the government Trump has shaped in his image.

I follow my alma mater on LinkedIn and their content is so depressing. It's all aimed at current students (which seems like a terrible place to reach them) and it's all stuff like, "Here's how to talk to new people your freshman year!" or "The best parts of college aren't on your phone!"

Again - his cabinet constantly talks about the feats of intelligence they witness this man commit behind closed doors and yet every time he opens his mouth, he finds creative new ways to display how fucking stupid he is. Also, dude on the left is literally a blobfish made human

Justice Dept. Turns to Partisans and Conspiracists to Fill Depleted Ranks
The civil rights unit has recruited people whose questionable work histories and dearth of education and experience might have disqualified them in the past, former officials said.

Republicans, nearly two years after Biden left office: "The buck stops with Joe Biden!"

To me, these ads scream “I am a milquetoast who picked the least consequential/highest thing to avoid offending anyone!” It screams “I don’t actually care about anything.” Good to win but worry about how many of these folks in a wave are their own little Manchin’s.

Saw a bunch of AZ house ads for some reason last night but funny to me that Dems in multiple races/states leading their ads with “I’m going to ban insider stock trading in Congress!” A) No you won’t B) If you’re gonna pretend you’ll get something done, can we at least go bigger?

I wonder what our Attorney General, who is incensed by jurists who "have a robe on, but they are more political" and "pander to the press," will have to say about this!

The Eighth Amendment bars *excessive fines* but death is ok because the admin changed its policy toward immigrants and, despite you showing up for every check in, we don't like you anymore. Just the dumbest, cruelest, weakest, weirdest assholes on earth, this Administration.

Cy Klone @sighclone.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
The DHS Secretary's position is literally that death is a foreseeable and reasonable outcome for *anyone* who is detained, jailed, or imprisoned for any reason. After all, they are jails, not Holiday Inns.

For the pro-life party, miscarriages are treated as murder but the government creating such subhuman conditions for detainees - many of whom have committed no criminal offense whatsoever - that they die is the system working as intended.

In Ford's Theatre's case, the legislation codifies the name of the historic site, but not the name of the building itself. Congress took for granted that, surely, no one would change the name of Ford's Theatre! And yet, here we are.

Cy Klone @sighclone.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
What other institutions might be on that list? Looking at the enacting legislation that created the Ford's Theatre Historic Site, I notice that it doesn't codify the name of the building in a similar way to other bills like KenCen do. Which I assume is why the think it's easier?

EA has always come across to me as Silicon Valley's way of dealing with the cognitive dissonance created by both believing they are the heroes of the future but also, deep down, agreeing with Gordon Gecko that "Greed is good."

I cared nothing about Ed Sheeran yesterday and couldn't name you a single song. Still don't know any song titles, I just know he's complicit.

Cy Klone @sighclone.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
I have a tough time believing that Sheerhan's contract with these venues includes a, "We can cancel the performance if we don't like what your opener says somewhere else," clause. And I feel like if Kraft wants to cancel a show to Streisand effect this issue some more, Sheerhan should let him.

Oh no, Tom, they are nowhere near that far along on the Iran War. They are open to the concept of negotiations, which may lead to the framework of a plan, which may then lead to the development of the plan. Lotta work to get to the concept of a plan stage. This isn't easy, like healthcare! /s

It annoys me to no end that Trump and his cronies constantly talk about how smart and amazing he is at everything but it's always related to stories about things that (didn't) happen in private. Let's give the President more opportunity to show off his intellect. Wow America with that IQ.

Begging a reporter to just ask him any basic question about AI like, "How do LLMs work?" or "What does LLM stand for?" "How are AIs trained?" And see what high IQ answer he comes up with.

Seeing Joe Manchin endorse Susan Collins and just have to underscore that dude's entire career has been defined solely by betraying Democrats. My grandma worked on Charlotte Pritt's WV gubernatorial campaign in 1996. When Pritt beat Manchin, he endorsed the Republican.

Every second a Democrat spends thinking or talking about Piker is a second they could be talking about how Donald Trump is playing Legos with public buildings and coloring in maps instead of lifting a finger for the American people.

The types who run to Manu Raju and Chad Pergram every chance they get to claim how unserious everyone else in the party is while never actually engaging with the party (ex. Slotkin) or actively working with insurrectionists (ex. Gottheimer).

Much conversation from more moderate dems goes against various parts of the left attacking mod candidates. But we need more conversation about how these political narcissists make their career out of attacking everyone else in the party. Jeffries aside - just terrible at politics in different way

LOL, still thinking too small! Again, why stop there?! "Every country is now named Trump 1 through 195 in an order that changes based on my whim and how many contracts a country enters into with my dipshit sons." bsky.app/profile/atru...

I don't interact with Trumpists - live in one of the bluest cities in America, my family doesn't suck. But like, what is there even to talk about? "Sure, the only person whose life has materially improved under Trump was the accomplice to America's most prolific pedophile, but he RENAMED THE GULF!"

Hell, America is based on an Italian name, and the Italians didn't let Dear Leader use their airstrips for his idiot war. The word America is woke! Time to rename America to something truly patriotic, like Trumpland. After all, he's done *so much* for this country, he deserves the recognition.

Cy Klone @sighclone.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
So if I understand correctly, Trump can basically order the Board of Geographic Names to rename places to whatever he wants? It's true weakness that he's only renaming a lake. Let's name Canada America's Hat. Or every country as "Not America." We're in the dumbest version of reality, why not?

What is the story of "Intern for a few months," in 2024 to getting paid $7k a month by Collins' leadership pac in 2025? Not a trajectory I've ever seen on the Hill.

Well, no one’s perfect. How’s Trump’s replacement deal for JCPOA with Iran going?

So the status quo, the USMC, is not a level playing field. Sounds like a bad deal! Wonder who negotiated that terrible agreement? Oh…

I don't think she's saying don't make fun of Natalie because she's too young. Granted, I'm not really sure what Amy's point is. "Trump most likely can't get it up and right-wing lunatics also give up their personhood for weak men, so don't mock this bizarre relationship.."?

Why isn’t Natalie’s face being photoshopped into Obsession memes? Honestly surprised I haven’t seen any of that.

Nah I’m taking them in the context of the whole. Disagree re: that film and the overall take of it being uniquely American or new (though you’re right re: Trump).

Cy Klone @sighclone.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
All of those clips in the midst of that are are getting on the horse again, despite setbacks. Not giving up. Given how I figure the film ends, it’s more about her being underestimated than it is about her not being able to recognize humiliation?

Cy Klone @sighclone.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
So much of his pathology is based on the NYC elite seeing him as a gauche lout and not letting him into their circles despite his wealth. Obama mocked him publicly and Trump will never not be obsessed with him.

Cy Klone @sighclone.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Maybe I’m misunderstanding you but a lot of that CM clip is just “overcoming adversity,” which isn’t unique to us? I also think Trump is very much motivated by a history of humiliation and retribution for that humiliation.

It amuses me that his view of whiteness isn’t exactly glowing at the same time. “The Shirefolk are obviously white because they are incurious chauvinists,” is how this reads.
“The Shire feels very, very much like a very, a very white, you know...
They're not very concerned about what goes on beyond the borders of The Shire, but they know they don't want people coming in.'

Holy fucking shit, @bencollins.bsky.social - JD Vance and Joe Rogan are literally doing the "It goes all the way up to the almost top!" bit but seriously.
Tweet from the Bulwark quoting from a video of the Joe Rogan Podcast with guest Vice President JD Vance where they say the following: 

Rogan: Most people think Epstein was Mossad.

Vance: "Ya. Mossad or CIA or some other deep state, whether in America or Israel…He clearly had connections to the highest levels of American intelligence. He clearly had connections to the highest level of Israeli intelligence."

I'll be honest, I didn't pay a ton of attention to Platner because I'm not a Maine voter and just wanted them to pick someone to take Collins out. But man, hearing bits of his drop out speech from last night and what an asshole. Angry folks don't understand the bullet they have dodged.

Agreed, and then letting himself into her house after that, and the continued no's described in the article. Grim thinks he's making a deeply principled point about journalistic transparency when he's really just saying, "I am very lost in the sauce of rape culture."

So just to be clear about how this works - when it comes to Muslim children existing, Republicans don't care about religious liberty. But when it comes to their opposition to banning child marriage, Republicans become very concerned about respecting parents' rights and religious freedom.

And, when you admit that you have no power in the current trifecta, but you also don't want to "perform" - most of your constituents are just going to assume you're not doing anything. They don't see constituent services or what meager benefits your seniority may bring under the regime.
