For a guy my age, I have surprisingly few grey hairs - more in my beard than on top of my head - but there’s one grey hair right on top that grows at a slightly faster rate than the rest, like a damn antenna. No picture, you can form your own mental image of it.

Remarkable description here from legal scholar Matt Seligman of the genuine authoritarianism that Stephen Miller and JD Vance crave, which is about the will of the "pure" people (the MAGA volk) being unconstrained by niggling obstacles like the rule of law: newrepublic.com/article/1953...

Here’s the thing: we don’t have to have that conversation, because Biden’s not president anymore. But they’d rather talk about him rather than discuss whether Trump is capable of doing the job due to his age and obviously declining mental acuity, along with his myriad character deficiencies.

This is both fucking repugnant and completely wrongheaded. If 2028 becomes a referendum on Biden rather than on Trump it will because of bullshit narratives like this decided by news media following the Republican lead and insisting on a “Biden question” rather than holding Trump accountable.

Musk: we "saved" a few $million by cutting basic weather services! Awesome! Sad Reality: 9 people died this weekend in area that stopped doing overnight tornado warnings. No single person has ever proved the efficiency and value of federal employees as effectively as Musk.

🧵 Keep your 👀 on Russell Vought. He’s quietly orchestrating a hostile takeover of American democracy. While headlines chase chaos, Vought is dismantling the federal government from within—purging experts, centralizing power in the Oval Office, & plotting to defy… www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Maybe all the conservative clowns who keep comparing the “free” jet to the Statue of Liberty are making that comparison because they know Trump will get on that thing and fly the hell away from the United States to protect his liberty when/if he leaves office.

You know he thinks other presidents are stupid for not doing the same thing, even though he went on and on about Biden using the office to enrich himself even though he didn’t.

I gave up drinking a little over four years ago due to a health issue that has since been resolved. On the advice of my doctor, I still don’t drink, but I still make one hell of a good margarita, which I always quality check before serving to my wife. There’s no drink I miss more.

Stephen Miller is really eager to turn the U.S. into an apartheid state, I’m guessing he views bringing in Afrikaner “refugees” as the sourdough starter for the foul loaf he’s trying to bake.

Only in the minds of the Washington, D.C. press is this the first real litmus test. Certainly it’s not how Democrats react to the current president’s attacks on democracy and the Constitution and immigrants and the economy and science. Nope, it’s about the last guy, who will never hold office again.

I joked the other night about Bruce not being able to get back into the country when he gets home, but now I’m not so sure it’s a joke. Trump is such a thin-skinned weirdo. And his idea of great music is the Village People.
