If we get a second Great Recession: Elon's Boogalo, we can learn the valuable lesson from the Biden Era (expansive fiscal stimulus can halt a recession dead in its tracks) and the most valuable missed lesson of Biden (if you don't jail all the Trumpists, they'll come back and make everything worse)

One of the benefits of a parliamentary system is the chance of a vote of no confidence and a snap election if things are going this badly one month into a four year term.

Why do Democrats suck so much at this critical moment? The long answer: a complex combination of diffuse political incentives, outdated norms, and unfamiliarity with new media. The shorter, more correct answer: BECAUSE ALL THE LEADERS ARE FROM NEW YORK

not the slightest exaggeration to observe that the ongoing coup has been greatly facilitated by the comically corrupt and incompetent products of the NYC political machine

No democrat should vote for anything in Congress until Musk is fired and all the federal funding he zeroed out on a whim is restored. We simply cannot have a democracy when the Executive's zonked-out Vizier moves fast and breaks things he doesn't understand, which is all things, because he's stupid.

it's not surprising a 78 year old has health issues; it's telling that they feel the need to lie about them, as they do so much else

it is insane how elon really is just a scheming vizier. like that completely describes his role at this point. the caliph is asleep at the wheel and now there’s this guy who haunts the halls of the palace, at all hours and under the influence of various drugs, while vying for more power and money.

Somehow we're almost 10 years into these guys just regurgitating Russian talking points verbatim and if you say the word "Russiagate" people look at you like you're wearing a tinfoil hat

This is being presented as a huge dunk on Trump but Trump surely loved it because Trump loves Les Mis. You cannot dunk on this man using context or self-awareness!

Trump, in gracious but ill-informed move, cheers the German parliamentary election where centrist democratic parties will form a coalition government, the far-left scored a surprise result and the GOP-aligned far-right will remain shut out of government. Well done!

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

I know it’s been treated as a sideshow but Musk’s insane breeding fetish, the high likelihood that his actual number of children is far, far higher than known, and the fact he has effectively abandoned almost all of them is actually one of the most damning things people can learn about the man

We're gonna look back at the media covering up Trump's senility in the runup to the 2024 election as one of the most successful propaganda campaigns of the last century. Will be a defining feature of his presidency and get worse as the term goes on.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

This is a great way of putting it because by the standards of presidential success that Biden himself understood (from the 1970's-90's, predominantly), he was a tremendously productive and successful president. The problem is that those metrics for success completely missed the moment.

biden was a great president except when it came to what he imagined to be his area of expertise (foreign policy), his electoral proposition (he is a white guy everyone likes), and the most important thing he was called upon to do (permanently incapacitate donald trump)
