Trump is absolutely the sort of person who could be persuaded to take the fall for some dipshittery in high school as long as a) he thinks the cool kids will like him, and b) it doesn’t obviously look like taking the fall. Sort of “yes, I was the one who spray-painted a penis on the principals car”

My hot take is the journalistic standard of “the view from nowhere” is a large part of why we’re in this mess and at some point you have to go with basic human decency over tight-assed decorum.

This is, at least in theory, the exact sort of collective action problem that government is used to solve.

For that matter, why is no one named Adolph anymore?

It’s somehow worse! He’s destroying a black neighborhood in Memphis to power the website pushing white genocide bullshit!

The Venn Diagram of “it’s your patriotic duty to stay healthy” and “covid is just a bad cold, you can’t make me wear a mask asshole” is an single circle.

Remember, ACAB is a better guiding philosophy than assuming the good faith of law enforcement.

I feel like people never realized the lesson of “Jurassic Park” (book and movie) was that there’s a difference between can and should

I keep drafting and discarding pithy and witty responses, but the fact of the matter is that “politician” and “government” are jobs that have always drawn threats. I wish it were only so in the most extreme cases, like disappearing people off the streets, but my daughter also wanted a pony.

This is the John Kerry swift boat playbook. Kerry had an unimpeachable (in theory) military record and Bush was a draft-dodger, so the Rs hit Kerry’s source of strength and it worked. The only difference is Dems don’t have to lie and slander to do this well.

Ironically, the ADL gives Jews a bad name.

This is because Trump doesn’t give one wet shit about any Jew who isn’t handling either his money or his daughter.

It’s a real debate as to whether that’s the funniest/dumbest lie in the report or if it’s the claim that a guy who consumes only the most processed of foods has the resting heart rate of a distance runner.

My sister would be uninsurable and broke (at best) without the ACA forcing companies to cover her Crohn’s disease so @shaunheiser.bsky.social can go fuck himself hard.
