If You Think The Democrats Should Mention Trump Deporting A Two-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Without Process, Just Remember The Last Time You Sat Next To A Two-Year-Old On A Flight To D.C., By Matthew Yglesias

I sincerely cannot think of a less provocative, less trolly thinker than Yglesias whose whole thing is mostly just to insist that obviously true things are in fact true.
People are shocked, that the paper I've been pointing out supports nazis & has from the very first nazis were on the scene, is willing to support nazis doing nazi things & trying to make them sound like they are perfectly okay things & people keep pretending its a fluke.
Okay hold on I might be ready to hear this argument when my two-year-old stops screaming bloody murder because *spins wheel* I put applesauce in a reusable pouch instead of a bowl
My kid is 20 now, but I have a 6 month old cat, and he is pure toddler. (This morning, he hopped into his litter box after doing some water play, then ran around the house freaking out about the litter clumped into his paws. Then he spent some time biting me because it's raining outside.)
My now 17 yr old once had me trying to meld a broken cracker back together. Mid-meld, I realized I was negotiating with a small terrorist. He now plays his drums in the house and wants to be a lawyer. It tracks.
Nationally he was cooked the moment he became the Governor of California. 49 states hate California, and I say that as someone who lived there for years. Most of the hate is undeserved but it clings regardless.
Given the recent publicity for California becoming the world's 4th largest economy, my guess is that he is still focused on money because money money money money. Money.
I didn't. A lot of Democrats in California didn't either. He's done some good stuff but a lot of things really suck about him and have for a while. I don't like voting for him last time, but his big Republican opposition started by arguing that women shouldn't vote. There wasn't a choice really.
If only the keep the powder dry folks had kept their powder dry for a week, they wouldn't have to convince us "A week ago it was unreasonable to defend due process in the public square; now it's all different."
Gav needs to take a vacation, write a book, start a line of sauces made w Napa wines, and leave it be.
He was my district supervisor, mayor, and governor. I waited and waited and waited for him to invest in the things that would make him electable for national office but his fuckery never stopped
Must mean some other guy. Matt always seems like the only Dem writer who'd like to win elections; particularly I tough states for Dems throughout the country.
Last time I was on a plane sitting next to someone else's 2 year old, it was the old guy 2 rows down crying about masking and other covid restrictions that was the problem. The 2 year old was a perfect angel the whole trip. The 50 year old was an obnoxious asshat who made everyone else miserable.
I think satire to expose the bad actors is different than making fun of the victim. This is satire about how NYT and legacy journalists have been writing pieces with shitty takes
David Brooks want you to consider that you couldn't even take that two year old child to a respectable Italian sandwich shop because its non-college-educated ass wouldn't understand such advanced, aristocratic meats as soppressata and capicola
That's first term David Brooks. The David Brooks who ended a column with "we have nothing to lose but our chains" would get the kid "A is for Activist" and tell you to start training them for street protests. They are somehow the same person.
I hate going to DC but I have to go at least twice a year. I wish I could only go in winter when it’s not 147 degrees with 483% humidity. Overall I just kind of hate the vibe of the place, too uptight

There was a domestic situation where the 2 year old was accused of assault. Neighbors heard loud meowing that became hissing and saw the victim hurriedly climb the maple tree out back. The victim declined to press charges, the toddler was given a warning.
“Illegal rendition to a foreign prison camp is bad enough, but forcing detainees to share a six-hour flight with an unaccompanied toddler shows the utter depravity of this administration.”
Really trying to imagine telling me from fifteen years ago that you would be more aligned with me than Matty, but here we are. Obviously the reason for that is you have actual moral and ethical principles and he's a garbage hack and I failed to realize that for years.
Whoever added the “Kilmar” text to the AI-generated comic probably should have also edited the mouths and word balloon so the ICE agent wasn’t saying the line and the guy on the right didn’t look so happy about it
52% now disapproved of how he's handling immigration. The numbers are worse when you put a name, face and story to the issue. If a father of 3 polls bad, what is a 2 year old gonna look like
Out of every 5 Americans, 2+ believe Trump is doing a good job, as he is literally tearing the country apart and stealing all the wealth for himself and his buddies. I can't understand it.
Well, ok. But that is a very low rating for a president 100 days in. When you say you can’t understand it, is that what you would say about the election? The fact that so many people who voted for him regret it this quickly is astonishing in US politics
There are cracks. First layer is people who also voted Obama and sleep walked into the election, somehow believing he would be normal-ish. They started turning within weeks.
Now some die-hards are peeling away. Leopard ate my face folks.
Fifty-two percent approve of deporting violent criminals who are migrants. A majority DISAPPROVE of deporting random permanent residents and visa holders.
Where is the part about due process, evidence, trial, impartial juries, competent defense, appeals? And if 52% trust the regime in charge of “Homeland Security”, INS and DOJ?
You're preaching to the choir. If you want to build a coalition, pick a topic most people can agree with. During Bush 43, many on the right had no problem with letting the government spy on them. Thinking isn't something they do.
All fascists. All GOP. If you're going to reverse that trend and still maintain a democracy, you will need most of the independents behind you. Otherwise, we are headed toward a fascist apartheid.

People often forget that "Terrible Twos" and "Terrorist" come from the same root word.
No one recovers from the ICK.
All day. Everyday.
I had hopes for Newsom. They weren't that high, but I had them.
That was before he demonstrated he had the ethical compass of a weather vane, though.
Governor Newsom: Please be more than just a politically expedient hack.
He was my district supervisor, mayor, and governor. I waited and waited and waited for him to invest in the things that would make him electable for national office but his fuckery never stopped
There's a fervent anti-2-year-old faction in the US.
New portrait of Newsom
If Mark Carney is our next 🇨🇦Prime Minister 🤞…..
I’m gonna send roses to Trump for going first and showing us how NOT to lead.
Thank YOU from a Canadian for your incompetence Donald 🤡
Who amongst us????????
Yglesias is IMO very wrong to oppose Democrats defending immigrants against Trump, as a matter of political strategy.
But he favors protecting and nurturing immigrants and children. He wrote a book about it! ("One Billion Americans")
Sure, it’s hell in the summer, but September is awesome.
