Raise your hand if you were dumb enough to have believed this.

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

This is incredibly problematic because it’s the first step towards also going after protest medics and jail support teams. Giving people masks when cops are launching tear gas every night is not a crime, it’s common sense protection.

Trump Wants to Rule as a Dictator. Make Him Do It. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

we were told endlessly that liberals would rehabilitate trump but so far it has almost exclusively been people like jeet, who cannot let go using “even donald trump does ___”

The reality is that Biden constantly restrained Israel on attacking Iran and on letting in humanitarian aid into Gaza. A lot of people don't get it (like Jeet Heer in the nested quotes) because they don't care to read Israelis, who spent 15 years complaining the US wasn't letting Israel attack Iran.

In 2018, Donald Trump, then in his first term as US president, let Iran out of nuclear restrictions in exchange for nothing. Many people, very much including me, warned that he put things on a path with only two possible outcomes: large-scale war, or a nuclear-armed Iran. And here we are.

Reflexive anti-anti-Trump leftist are some of the dumbest people I swear. Former Bernie staffer! Bernie’s sore loser schtick seriously rubbed off on these people and melted their brains.

Big facts. It’s a low bar that Democrats still can’t clear

Trump said he wanted a deal with Iran. I guess he couldn’t convince his good friend Netanyahu. No respect. Looks weak.

Time to do this with “Trump is imposing military dictatorship”

I’m not super surprised. Some of the most devout Catholics in the US are immigrants from Mexico, Philippines. He should absolutely stand up for them.

WHERES THAT RAT FUCK TYLER AUSTIN HARPER AT?????

Probably worth reminding everyone that the two most recent major flashpoints in the Middle East are the direct result of the foreign policy decisions of "Donald the Dove" during his first administration

Netanyahu wanted to strike Iran when Obama was president. Obama said no and he didn’t. Netanyahu wanted to strike Iran when Biden was president. Biden said no and he didn’t. Netanyahu wanted to strike Iran when Trump is president. Trump said no and he did.

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

shoutout to every idiot who believed that trump would "end the wars"

Of course the two countries have lobbed missles at each other before but…the casualties this time is way above and beyond the previous escalations.

The really dumb thing about this exact moment is Newsom has correctly recognized that being arrested by Trump on some bogus charge, getting released, and having the massive fist pump picture on the front page of every newspaper is going to absolutely cause our orange boy to go apoplectic.

This why all the Abundance centrists/leftist discourse was SO DUMB. YIMBY is YIMBY. There’s leftist YIMBYs and centrist YIMBYs. We welcome all. The people that saw Abundance as a center vs left thing was people who melted their brains over fights on social media.

Can you say moral hazard? POTUS could have used US leverage to prevent this mess. He can now use US leverage to stop it.

Billy Long's sole qualification to run the IRS is that, in 2023–24, he ran a large-scale tax fraud operation. I am not making this up.

not sure quite how to respond if are orange boy gets mad at israel for not respecting his deal making prowess and tanks Israel/U.S relations

No I do believe our orange boy is having a big ol arthur clenched fist at the moment.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Newsom knows how to run the news cycle ragged, and it's about damn time.

there's something interesting here in how judges are building on each other's arguments, even in very different cases, in working through how to approach the administration's bad faith storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The fact that people working for Donald fucking Trump can grasp their pearls about disrespectful political theater pretty clearly indicates that they think Libbing While Minority is in itself inappropriately disrespectful.

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

The one thing I will say about all this is there is no democratic politician who is more in touch with positioning himself where the winds are proverbially blowing than Newsom, we've seen it. If this is where he is, I don't think there's any justification to not be finding any camera you can.

Trump’s go-to line about every foreign policy crisis and war - from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to October 7th, to the Israel’s devastation of Gaza - was “It would never have happened if I was president.” Welp.

I don’t want to light up this person’s mentions but this is bullshit. The legitimacy of protests doesn’t rest on whether they were planned in advance or not. People also have jobs, so the weekend is when they have time to demonstrate. Fuck off with this garbage.

No parody of Chris Cillizza could be mean enough to top the real thing

thinking of taking up alcoholism as the only rational response to this newscycle
