trump was just asked what money he was going to use to buy Gaza. "We're not gonna buy it. We're gonna have it, we're gonna keep it." No follow up question, of course. Is THAT how real estate works in the Middle East?

As people are trying to understand how courts enforce their orders, this DOJ Org Chart may come in handy. The courts don’t have their own enforcement agency. The US Marshal’s Service is part of DOJ.

is the goal merit or is the goal segregation?

ABC paying $15 million to Trump for George S repeating what the judge in E Jean Carroll case said is completely irrational as a legal matter. It only makes sense as an effort to preserve access to Trump and the White House

we're cooked

I choose to believe this is an elaborate piece of performance art, because I refuse to accept that any humanities professor would accept this total abdication of our basic duties. Why not just toss the students a Magic 8-Ball?

Remember, Tulsi Gabbard claimed Assad didn’t use chemical weapons, it was “the rebels.” Her confirmation hearing will be brutal, if she even makes it to there

i have plenty of thoughts on why it matters that this is an illegal order but here i’ll just comment that i think liberals who throw their hands up and say “it doesn’t matter” have self lobotomized themselves into thinking that trump is god king of america

just from a folklore point of view, "attractive hooded man kills billionaire head of hated business with bullets inscribed with political slogans and then vanishes" is narratively breathtaking

Fuck these Nazis

It's a drag that, as the movies have shrunk down to nothing over the last decade, one of the few genres to have survived is Authorized Musician Biopic. They used to make like two movies per year that were just "veteran character actor and Ashley Judd pursue a serial killer."

Just another day at Mar-a-Lago.
