The GOP’s majority in the House is so slim that they can’t countenance slimeballs like Gonzalez and Cory Mills resigning.

Dumb money that somehow still doesn’t know in the year 2026 that you *always* get paid up front when dealing with Trump does exist… it just doesn’t run international shipping.

And if you convince them missile risk is zero, there remain: air drones, sea drones, mines, and ramming boats

People who say things that make sense on their own terms and know the topic well enough to answer a follow up question or two do just fine.

But those interviews don’t go viral.

He also needs to do a whole lot of introspection about signing onto the Harper’s letter, but won’t.

That happens decently often and Trump pulls a “Nah, don’t know her” when asked about it. He endorsed with a Truth Social post the GOP candidate in the Tarrant county special election a few weeks back and claimed ignorance when she lost.

There‘s a millennial that’s a heartbeat from the presidency already.

If there’s any acting she was still typecast for it.

1979 was an outcome of things getting “fully dealt with” in the 1950s.

Nothing to worry about: US voters never mess up blindingly obvious elections!

“With a hard work ethic Inshallah the U of M will return to its glory days” can only come from a true Poaster.

Dude was born in New Jersey in 1895 and fought for the US in both World Wars.

Always “fun” to remember that SAVAK, that secret police force, were trained by the US with Norman Schwarzkopf Sr, “Stormin’“ Norman’s father, as lead.

International law suffers from an anarchy problem: there’s no entity that has a monopoly on the use of force.

The most powerful actors in that absence have the least incentive to submit to international law’s jurisdiction, and don’t.

Even odds that there were randos puttering around a buffet table immediately behind that very soundproof one-ply curtain.

Their next album title: “🫱⭕️🫲”

Voters strategically vote to solve a collective-action problem across five parties in hyper-local configuration specific to their district, while parties employ national-level platforms that can’t be tailored to the district. With no federalism.

The insanity is structural.

The joke is mostly a riff on the (denied) December rumor that Swift had paid off, with a preposterous sum, a couple that had booked her preferred wedding venue on her preferred date.

How much of their discovering a latent ability to call a spade a spade is being miffed about not being dripped leaks for six months to manufacture consent, as protocol calls for, is an exercise for the reader.

“Do The Right Thing” (1989) would work quite well as a manifesto title.

Blaire Fleming earned a degree on scholarship.

The first four years of her college career were anonymous: just a solid player plugging away at a modestly popular sport for a middle of the pack team in the seventh best conference.

She was a grad student / redshirt senior for the RW media campaign.

The oldest acting Skarsgård kid (Alexander) was 37 when the youngest one (Kolbjörn) was born.

Stellan’s Wikipedia entry contains the following sentence: “In 2016, Skarsgård said that he had a vasectomy because he felt that eight children was enough.”

Six of those kids are active actors.

The main difference is that Talarico’s discussing of New Testament Jesus (as opposed to GOP Jesus) comes from a person that looks far more like what up-for-grabs Texan voters picture as a source of moral/scriptural authority.

If TX were winnable without lip service to fairy tales … but it’s not.

Crockett’s father is literally a Baptist reverend.

They’re both fine candidates, far better than any Texas Republican, and this is just not a differentiator between them: both of them can do the Jesus talk expected of TX pols and both believe in the separation of church and state.

That doesn’t describe urban Portland OR at all, though, right?

Tan’s probably incorrect in calling IZ “NIMBY”; it’s stupid and counterproductive rather than intentionally anti-housing.

Encountering something by that Kate W always throws me for a minute thinking it’s by the other housing Kate W (Kate Wagner of “McMansion Hell”).

Homie, they’re national mascots.

Yea, the family for some unfathomable reason manages a huge real estate portfolio four hundred years after it should’ve been nationalized, but power-wise they’re mascots.

In the unlikely event they knew the meaning of “shame”, the GOP’s majority in the House is so slim that they can’t afford to lose anyone.
