She is great, but so is her 9yo daughter.

Do you think the government may settle with him?

It's all projection and confession with these dipshits.

I don’t see them “fighting on something as existential as whether we condone the federal govt murdering our own citizens,” because they plainly aren’t.

They’re asking for less than the mythical median voter supports, at a time when the mythical median is moving left. I’d hate to see what they’d propose if they didn’t think they were negotiating from a position of strength.

But they aren’t fighting about the existential issue. They’re struggling even to impose limitations under which the existential issue would obviously remain. Ds won’t get useful legislation from Rs, so the fight is the whole point.

Why is “a realistic legislative push” the goal? Rs won’t agree to anything that matters, so the goal ought to be a righteous fight about summary executions by masked goons running amok in our cities.

A real opposition party would understand that legislating is only part of the job. Picking righteous fights is another. But these Dems live in a defensive crouch and seek above all to be “reasonable.” That’s why they give away what leverage they have, then say there’s just nothing they can do.

This is a lame response to summary executions, which would continue even after these “restrictions.”

It sucks that the best Ds can do in response to summary executions by masked goons on video in broad daylight would fall well short of stopping the summary executions. Rs are evil, and Ds are pathetic.

I'd distinguish "left-wing" from "partisan." Bluesky is more liberal than Democratic. This speaks to me, because I'm a liberal who disapproves of the Democratic Party.

In fact, the video shows police taking the gun he'd never drawn before they put him down and shot him. Anderson should cite facts rather than his ostensible ignorance.

Lame. Do better.

I respect you, but any post that begins "in fairness to David Brooks" is a big turn off for me.

It's good when he (or more often his comms team) does something that's performatively helpful, but Newsom is an unscrupulous operator who deserves none of the love he gets.

Yes, but the Sniveling Seven were too Vichy even for the theater.

By which he means "We are experts in snatching children from their parents, traumatizing them, deporting them, and ruining their lives."

It seems unlikely that even Times reporters are so gullible that they’re routinely “duped” by Republican operatives posing as civilians.

The GOP is a fascist party in all but name.

People ask if it’s malevolence or stupidity, and I say yes.

In law school I outlined classes at the end of the semester, organizing and summarizing the class content. Then I made little use of the outlines that I'd laboriously made. Because the work was the point and not the outlines. The effort is everything. Without that you've gained nothing.

The current Supreme Court building could be repurposed as a museum honoring better times, and the justices could be relocated to a strip mall in Reston.
