He’s made it all on merit. The whole thing. Merit only. You hear me? It has nothing to do with having hundreds of millions of dollars and being named ROBERT F. KENNEDY. Nothing! Merit!

Trump in 2027.

New Mexico? Or “New America”?

Right. This is the cops coming when you’re being held up and saying, “Give him your wallet, give him your car keys, give him your ATM PIN, let him get away, then we can try to help you.”

The “reverse discrimination” argument has a name. It’s called “white supremacy.”

The law says you can be fired for any LEGAL reason … OR for no reason. But if they claim a reason, as they’ve done here, and there is no evidence to support their claim, you have a huge case. I hope all Federal employees remember that. “Performance” MUST be documented by whoever is doing the firing.

The blatant sexual allusions in the opening scene are astounding, flouting the Hayes Code while setting up the characters splendidly. I hadn’t seen this in many years and I was stunned how bold Hitchcock was being to let them talk about murder while NOT talking about sex (but doing it anyway).

This has been the fallacy of the right for decades. Government is a service. It is a bureaucracy by design. That is fundamental. It is big because the nation is big. It works. It is not designed to be for-profit. A business operates antithetically to the government. Any government.

It’s a shame Pluto can’t take more care with the way it places commercials. I miss video engineers!

Our country is going to die on the backs of statements that “strongly condemn.”

I’m pretty sure it’s RFK and virtually every Republican in government that needs “re-parenting.” And re-educating. Maybe in the ol’ Soviet sense.

I remember when ABC News tried something similar with Diane Sawyer leading a newscast filled with celebrity news and news lite and inconsequential silliness. It didn’t last long. Weird: “the news” isn’t that difficult to pull off—until you start worrying about the consequences of telling the news.

The New York Times is now covering studies that have been neither peer-reviewed nor published? Can I please get a @nytimes.com books editor to write a big feature about my unpublished novel? I’m available for interviews. Just DM me.

Seems like an awfully close distance for folks to be, waving around their phone cameras and such. Huh.

I would not be surprised if it ends in something not dissimilar. It is eerie how bits of history are repeating. I’m beginning to think it’s all evidence we ARE in a simulation, with the weirdest bits of history, movies and TV shows all combining into a perverse alleged “reality.”

Huh? Hers is one of the books. But … so is his. Hilariously.

“Such as elections.”

They’re confident they will award themselves bigger pay packages and will have larger bank accounts.

“Similar to,” but actually lower than — and the lowest for any modern president. Substantially lower than Biden.

Oddly, the easiest way for them to have avoided threats to their personal safety would have been to endorse voting for Harris. At least they admit that Trump and his followers are a violent lot who are able to “lead” only through fear, threats, intimidation and actual violence.

It’s a shame that “all of us” decided that voting for Harris wasn’t important.

Trump screams: "States rights!" "Small government!" "Keep the government out of your everyday lives!" Then does exactly the opposite. Every time.

In the history of the world, a plan like that has never ended well for the rich folks. Ever. Like … EVER.

That’s the math that leads to bankruptcy. So it makes sense Trump would approve of it. By the way, and I am sure you know this, just making an obvious point, the U.S. can’t go “bankrupt.” There can be economic consequences, but the U.S. is not a business. Never has been. Never will be.

It hasn’t “saved” anything. If I simply fire my staff, don’t pay my mortgage, don’t pay my taxes (and don’t even withhold), don’t pay my car loans, and don’t do any repairs to my house or my cars, I’ve “saved” $17,000 a month. I’ve “saved” more than $200,000 a year! The consequences will be dire.
