PSA: Please do shut the hell up about showing Iran where Trump lives (Mar-a-Lardo), because that's no better than Trump "joking" about a couple of CA cities that Iran can target. When you wrestle with the pigs, you get covered in mud. But the pigs like that.

The answer to "Have you no shame?" is a resounding "NO!", and always has been. The entire episode has a "Clinton Tarmac Meeting" vibe to it, and was clearly orchestrated in advance. Brian Beutler, on "Republican Disarray And The Second Failure Of McCarthyism" open.substack.com/pub/brianbeu...

Wait, I thought the Republican't's secret sauce was getting the rubes to vote, and only to vote, when they "don't understand what's going on"? It's a feature, not a bug! I guess that's not working out too well for them, "you know what I mean"?

I think we just found the Middle Eastern Chapter of the "Face-eating Leopard Party". Like Trump firing prosecutor after prosecutor since they are unable to do his bidding, his "contractors" are stiffing him. Dose of his own medicine, and all that.

A good chunk of the staff at my place of work is MAGA. One that seems reachable didn't realize lobbyists are not actually part of the government, even though they act like one. Another thinks economic depression means people are just depressed. I call it the "I stayed at the Holiday Inn" syndrome.

I don't believe for a minute this occurred in a vacuum, because this DOJ was caught using a rather loose definition of what "victims" means, consisting simply of whomever the Epstein Class lawyers claimed to be "victims". I guess admitting bestiality Trumps pedophilia, right?

Occam's Razor says something really, really, really bad has happened and we simply haven't paid the price. Yet. Or maybe, since rich tech-bro's think regular people are "Non-Player Characters" and don't really exist, these tech-bro's don't exist and are simply products of their insane avarice?

There seems to be a pattern of learning all the wrong lessons here: Cops with "punisher" phone screens, a dominance narrative LARP'ing the "Death Star", that "Born in the USA" is anything but an anti-war song, all showing a clear lack of critical thought. It's time we stopped bashing teachers.

Conservatives love them some shibboleths. A huge one is that they hate hate hate that the words "Democratic Party" bears resemblance to the the word "democracy", while insisting that the words "Republican Party" are where it's at, because of its resemblance to "republic".

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is busy concealing COVID case numbers, because he believed it would "go away" if he ignored it. Donald Trump would consider Dolly Parton a "loser" for her generosity and grace, just like he thinks Arlington is full of "losers", channeling its former owner Robert E. Lee.

This is just like MAGA saying Charlie Kirk was "up and coming in the Republican Party". No, he wasn't. He was just a guy that got paid lots of money to say provocative things online. Is that sounding familiar yet? Maybe we should all just go back to blaming video games?

Republicans pulled the same stunt with Iraq, extending tours ad infinitum. It's what they do. They also blew a hole in the budget on R&D for their corporate buddies, and then pulled out their pockets begging for money when it came time to pay the troops. That's some "Support the troops!(tm)", no?
