There's no alt text on these screencaps but the doc they're taken from is linked in the next post in the thread. Like I've been saying all along: he's known what his tattoo meant since 2009 *at minimum*.

I really needed a pick-me-up today, and Kristi Noem getting fired and the deluge of mockery here almost hit the spot.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Moral of the story? Congressional oversight matters. Congress should do it more.

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

As I was saying: A great night to consider running for office.

New YouGov poll finds that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump *strongly.* His overall approval is down to 38%, a new second-term low.

When is the last time a majority has disapproved strongly of a president?

The phrase β€œevery conservative influencer in the business” tells you everything you need to know.

The entire modern conservative movement descends from snake oil salesmen and prosperity gospel revival tent preachers.

It’s nothing more than a con, and that’s all it will ever be.

I've only seen the 1st season as well as a handful of 3rd season episodes while my brother was visiting. I wanted to finish reading the books before watching the rest, but GRRM ain't ever finishing that series... :/

See also pretty much every civil rights movement in history.

(Though "everyone" might be going a bit far in that case.)

"Tell me how this ends...."

β€”What Ike asked about Laos, Suez

β€”What JFK was reportedly ready to ask about US troops in Indochina

β€”What GWHBush asked, in deciding to limit Gulf War to Kuwait

β€”What GWBush did *not* ask, when going into Iraq

β€”What seems not to have occurred to Trump, Hegseth et al

I’m going to need to cut this line I like from a piece about the Iran War you’ll read tomorrow, so I post it here to tell my darling I will see it in the gardens of heaven:

β€œWe will not get bored," Trump said on Monday, minutes before talking about how beautiful the White House drapes are.

Anyone have friends in Yerevan, Armenia? Asking for a story.

If not, will you repost for signal boost?

Tweet from Ryan Grim: "Understand what Neera is arguing for here: she thinks that no Democratic candidate should appear on any podcast where a host has flirted with conspiracy theories around Charlie Kirk and Israel. I don't think she understands how many podcasts that includes.

And if you make the opposite argument, and say no, actually, tens of millions of people love those shows, Democrats should be on them, she says I'm "defending anti-semitic conspiracy podcasters." The good news is that this stuff doesn't work anymore. Save your breath, nobody cares."

I really don't think "There are so many antisemitic podcasts out there that you just can't help but appear on them" is the defense they think it is.
