Hawley: How can a system survive? Um, follow the fucking laws of said nation? That would be a good starting point.

PCA. Exciting young ballplayer, great defender, mashes the ball. But there are some eye-popping similarities in that sentiment and the holes in his performance to Javy Baez. Lots of swing and miss and inability to take walks. It doesn’t age well, particularly for a guy who should be a lead off man.

Here’s a real discussion: throwing your values and morals under the bus to save yourself is what MAGA bootlickers do. Nope. Fuck that.

It’s become crystal clear that quid pro quo is the unofficial motto of the Trump regime.

Charlie Morton sighting recently. Sources say the hope in Baltimore will not extend to DC where there hasn’t been a sighting of humanity in over four months.

Yes, we should invest in trade schools and present them as viable options for graduating students. But not punitively, at the fiscal expense of higher academia.

It’s defeating somehow to know that reading uncovers thoughtful tenets such as this whereas the brazen unfolding of it before our very eyes isn’t convincing enough for some people. This is Noah Webster circa 1783 (via Eve Ewing’s book Original Sins):

We can Joemalasplain all we want. To spin their faults as somehow responsible for this political mess is lazy scapegoating. And for the record, things went wrong, yes, but none of what is happening is a product of spontaneous conception. It’s years of planned bullshit in the making passively ok’ed

One detail from Republican tax bill. It creates an unprecedented 100% tax credit for people steering money into private K-12 school vouchers. Contributors get the credit PLUS dodge capital gains tax if they give stock. Total tax shelter. Scaled back but similar to this itep.org/revenue-impa...

The D of I clearly states, “…whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…” When is the right time for a revolution? J6ers believed in a false narrative and exonerated. The time is now.
