necessary to keep several things in mind: ~the courts are the best method we currently have for slowing & ameliorating Trump’s agenda ~we need a popular revival of civic virtue, responsibility, & constitutionalism ~the minority party’s message has to appeal to a broad range of people where they are

All of the people cheering on Luigi and saying that he did nothing wrong when he executed a premeditated murder make me really uncomfortable. Once you say that he’s justified, I can’t trust that you aren’t going to say political violence against more people is justified, and that’s a real bad path.

Your solution is for a political party to tell American voters “that violates Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution?” Are you fucking high? Get offline.

he’s an evil hack of meager talents.

I really gotta reiterate that Mangione is a rich white tech guy who most likely has serious mental health issues and gun murdered a stranger in cold blood for opaque reasons, I would maybe pump the brakes a bit on this stuff

One of the major political problems of the Biden admin (especially in 2024) was a sense that the president had lost control & the admin was unmoored in chaotic waters. In my view, you can’t say that isn’t also true of Trump now.

I LOVE MORALISTIC GARBAGE I LOVE GLOBALISM I LOVE THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN AND THE ANTICHRIST WILL NOT CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

They hate liberalism & find it decadent & weak, qualities they come to associate with morality itself.

They are barbarians who despise anything good and true and beautiful. I assume next we are replacing Noseda with Kid Rock because Beethoven is too woke. Welcome to the slop future

WOW "Seven western Wisconsin Republican lawmakers did not appear at an event hosted by the Wisconsin Farmers Union in Chippewa Falls Friday as farmers from the area said they were concerned about the effect that President Donald Trump’s first month in office is having on their livelihoods." ⤵️

“all that’s kind to our mortalities” is especially nice—if you don’t believe me, say it aloud.

A lot of people think of “their votes” not unlike the Catholic Church thinks of the sex act.

They want war crimes. I do not know why the media will not say this. They say they want war crimes. Heggy got his job because he supported war crimes on Fox News. They think it is good to hunt children for sport.

Getting rid of the military’s most senior lawyers is rather uncomfortable.

FOLLOWUP: SECDEF Hegseth also firing the CNO, the USAF Vice-Chief, and somewhat unusually and ominously to do in the same breath, the senior JAGs of the Army, Navy, and USAF

I still believe it’s fruitless to think about 2028 until at least 2027, but I’ve also always felt that the most effective Democratic candidate for president would likely be a governor.

Buddy we were told to cut every probationary employee, there was no flexibility to the order. It’s not the bureaucrats fault that it was decided to illegally fire the youngest, most motivated federal employees.

Trump take egg…Sheinbaum leave egg?? Much to consider…

I am in full “sickos” mode whenever I see these polls.

skill issue—I could read this story & sleep like an angel.

An ideology that consists of being totally full of shit, all the time.
