I take it back, that's not all I care about. I also want to show the political establishment - Republicans, Democrats, donors, media, etc - that transphobic attack ads are a losing strategy. I think that's important. If Paxton wins, we'll see more transphobia. I don't want that.

That was after Bret had wrestled ~1500 matches. He'd go on to wrestle ~1500 more. Kota Ibushi never got to 1500 matches. Honestly I'm not sure it's that different. They used to wrestle more safely, but much more frequently. Now they wrestle fewer matches, but in a more risky style. Kinda evens out.

He didn't actually say that. What he did say was still very stupid.

We must cut off all funding for ICE & CBP until they end this reign of terror return to their original mission. I’m also cosponsoring the Ending Qualified Immunity for ICE Agents Act, to make sure we can hold the worst agents accountable.

Are trans kids better off with Talarico or Paxton? That's all I care about.

Conversely, every time I see Paxton's transphobic ad, I donate to Talarico

Absolutely wild. Why did ABC 404 this story?

I think the existence of fraternity houses - entire buildings that can be populated entirely with young men who aren't opposed to rape - is also a problem.

I believe this is him saying that, as president, he needs to be treated properly - even after he leaves office

takethepith.bsky.social @takethepith.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
He said he could have done bad things to Obama, etc, but he didn't because it's inappropriate to do so. Because the presidency is a sacred position. He even referenced the fact that he has already been impeached twice, but he didn't do it.

When even as Palestinian-sympathetic a politician as Mamdani can't pass muster, you know it's a movement designed to make the participants feel morally superior, rather than one designed to cause positive changes in the real world

I think it's more step 1: bomb Iran step 2: ???? step 3: Republicans win elections It seems Trump thinks things work that way
Trump tweet from November 2011 saying "In order to get elected, Barack Obama will start a war with Iran"

takethepith.bsky.social @takethepith.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
I read it as him saying the presidency is so sacred that nobody must ever go after an ex-president - which obviously is an idea he'd like to push for the next two years.

I only just learned about this now. I figure if they haven't commented yet, they don't plan on it. I mentioned this to an LA friend, who replied "The whiskey is run by low key white supremacists".

Looks like the show is still scheduled. I guess the venue supports white supremacy? Any comment from them?

takethepith.bsky.social @takethepith.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Correct. If the media was going to make a story about this, it would be about Trump's increasing incoherence. But they're clearly never going to talk about that.

I agree it isn't hard. Alito and company decide what they want the result to be, then backfill whatever hypocritical, nonsensical reasoning they require to get to the decision they want. The reason they weighed reliance interests this way is because they wanted to overturn Roe, but not Obergefell.

The question is why would stare decisis apply in one case but not the other

Especially since there's far more they can actually do to fight crime than to suddenly make prices go down

Once again NYT supports Trumpism in its headlines. He didn't move ethical lines; he trampled over them.

This all goes back to the Southern Strategy. Democrats angered southern whites by supporting the Civil Rights acts. Republicans could have made it clear that opponents of Civil Rights weren't welcome in their party either, but they did the opposite. They welcomed the racists. And here we are.

In fact, the person in the screenshot lifted the text from the post I quoted, then moved the quotation mark to the beginning, which is incorrect. So that person was lying as well as stealing.

Would be nice to believe that Ds would simply refuse to hold a vote a la McConnell, but I don't see Schumer doing that

takethepith.bsky.social @takethepith.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Yeah the one I posted was the original. It takes some license, but it's fair enough. The one in the screenshot stole the text of the original and moved the quote marks, making it a case of both stealing and lying.

Look again. It's in quotes.

It's close, but the person in the screenshot is clearly A) stealing someone else's post and B) lying about the quote. They took the text of the post they stole but put the whole thing in quotes.

takethepith.bsky.social @takethepith.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I'm not arguing anything. The quote in the screenshot is inaccurate.

There wasn't an actual mascot mistake. None of the texts refer to Hawks or Hawkeyes. The texts referred to a 7:30 tipoff time, and the Republicans just never considered it might be a women's game.

When he says "this is hurting our country more than inflation", what is "this"? It seems from this excerpt that he's saying that inflation is hurting our country more than inflation.

Democrats should take him up on the offer. If he refuses, it shows he's a liar. If he accepts, give an introduction that lists all his failings then end the rally never allowing him to speak.

If they'd passed them off as PAC funded, then it came out that they were taxpayer funded, the media might treat that as a scandal they uncovered. Trump knows that if he displays his corruption openly, the media will treat it as a quirk rather than a scandal.

It seems like there must have been more. In a later interview, Schmitt referenced a tip off time of 7:30, which isn't shown here. I am hoping somebody can FOIA the signs they made, since I'm not sure we saw all of them.
