I can't *stand* watching/listening to Harry Enten. He's obnoxious, over-the-top, performative, and really annoying. A total failure as a Steve Kornacki wannabe.

I'd say there's a 2 in 9 chance.

I'm waiting for an American citizen to be "accidentally" "deported" & see how it plays out. Will they attempt to use the same excuse? That it's a gang mbr who they *can't* get back? To get Rubio's/Vance's buddy down there in San Salvador to return them from a gulag the US is PAYING to house them in?

"Back in the day" I used to have a video clip of Baghdad Bob giving his "There ARE no American troops in Baghdad, there will never BE American troops in Baghdad!" speech as a slow-moving, toppling Saddam statue falls on his head. It's lost to history, I guess.

Not addressing your post directly, but here's another example of how Trump really, *really* doesn't know how stuff works: bsky.app/profile/reic...

We should *always* criticize our side when warranted. Groupthink and unconditional going-along isn't getting us anywhere.

In other words, we can do better.

I'm sorry (not), I get irritated when they waste time w/this BS. YES it would be inappropriate for him to wear a MAGA hat. YES this has been covered in the press. YES he has already denied it happened. It's a dumb "gimme a gotcha" that she literally had to read from her staffer's TPs. Come ON.

Has anyone else noticed that Ted Cruz sounds like Joseph McCarthy when he "speeches"? (Literally... and figuratively.)

It's the Senate lingo. That's it. No deep thinking needed.

Taibbi should have quit after the "Twitter Files" bullshit. He's so far gone.

"Some Democratic leaders don’t see cause for panic. Trump’s success in November was unique, they argue, not a warning sign of a fracturing of their multiracial coalition." Hey, I have an idea... Why don't we SEE cause for panic and GO FROM THERE. Sheesh. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

The hidden trend behind Latinos’ shift toward Trump

A surge in ticket-splitting among Latinos could shape politics for elections to come.

Damn... I missed this turd of information in the ongoing avalanche of shit.

Ahh... Comer, for the gazillionth time, exposes the fact that he's a total moron. Then deploys the oft-used "My time has expired" mantra as a cover for making a total fool out of himself. Too late, Jim. We all know you're an fucking idiot.

Those running things at Fox News have obviously made the calculation that it's okay for their on-air "talent" to look stupid/say stupid things because their audience is stupider, i.e., entirely lacking in critical thinking skills.

I'm always loathe to press "play" when Scott Jennings is involved.

As I read this, it makes me think of how @profgalloway.com often talks (laments) about how today's young men have trouble forming stable romantic relationships. 🤔

TBF, most Americans seem to confuse "need" with "want."

omg, I *just* saw this in a court filing. Steven "Baghdad Bob" Cheung. His terrorism campaign against truth continues past the campaign.

I laughed so loud when I read this I scared my dogs.

It's not like any one of those folks would get drunk and lose their phone or anything..... (Yes, Pete.... looking at you.)

NSC: "It happened." DoD: "It didn't happen." The President: "I don’t know anything about it."

I just had a flash of Pete Hegseth slinging Vitameatavegamin. "Are you unpoopular? Do you pop out at parties?"
