“I mean, say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.”
I have never understood the appeal of Matt Yglesias, who always struck me as a child of privilege mediocrity undeservedly gifted public intellectual status.
Basically Megan McArdle, but shorter.
One thing I hate about all the defenses of Platner is the underlying, deeply dumb and destructive belief that it's all about casting. Wanted: Rugged bearded tell-it-like-it-is oysterman to appeal to the great anxious white center, the holy grail of politics. Further details not of immense concern. >
Far be it from me to give advice to Markwayne the Plumber, aside from changing his name to a far more normal DougBob, but he would get a lot of credit if he ordered a forensic audit of every contract Kristi Noem and creepy sex weasel Lewandowski touched
DHS staffers peels off the “if this cabin is a-rockin’, don’t come a-knockin’” handmade sign on Noem & Corey’s Bang Boeing, turn on a blacklight and the room lights up like the Vegas Strip on New Years Eve.
“Burn it. Burn everything in here”
Noem at home
Noem husband: So...
Noem: So....
Husband:
Noem:
Husband: So, were you guys doing it doggy-style?
Noem: Oh, for god's sake, Byron. Not funny and give it a rest.
Husband:
Noem:
Husband,: Guess I'll go outside and put flowers on Cricket's grave.
Noem: Fuck you, Byron
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
I guess one might call Markwayne Mullin replacing Noem a ... "toilet adjustment"
Noem is going to the "Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas" which is going to be the worst movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe .... except for the "Eternals"
Kristi Noem calling Lewandowski: "I've been fired. What will we do, my love?"
Corey: "New phone, who dis?"
Similar rationale used when he sexually assaulted a drunk woman in in Monterrey, California in 2017 and then threw a hotel room towel at her and told her to “clean” herself up.
Then later paid her $50k
Bark at the Park, his 4th one. All he knows is that he gets his own hot dog.
Guess which good boy is going to see the Phillies when they come to town in May?
Lane Kiffin mum after reports of job opening in Iran
All I’m saying is if you wanted someone to mastermind the killing of a religious fanatic who thinks women are second class citizens, and already has a relationship with Netanyahu, this whole Khamenei thing could have been done faster and cheaper.
I mean, her secret boyfriend killed the pope…
Kash Patel’s booty-call girlfriend, who grew up in London and Geneva (the fancy one overseas), is sick and tired of you fancy-pants coastal elites.
THE GUYS AT THE PENTAGON LOVED YOUR IDEA TO CALL IT ‘“OPERATION EPIC FURY,” AND PETE WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU‘LL SPOT HIM WHEN HE DOES FANCY MAN KETTLE BELLS TODAY.
This is one of my pettier impulses but I want the record to reflect just how often this motherfucker said that Kamala Harris was the pro-war candidate in 2024.
It would appear the only difference between Nick Shirley and Graham Platner is that Nick does not have a Nazi tattoo. Yet.
Immigrants: They get the job done.
Every time I hear Pete Hegseth is squabbling with Anthropic, I think they’re talk about Anthropologie, and I wonder if that wispy peasant dress he bought to go see Sara McLachlan didn’t hold up after three washings and they keep telling him the label clearly says “ dry clean only”
Money just slips through your fingers when the stigmata flares up. Just try counting a pocketful of change. Impossible…
The US hockey bros who met with Trump should only be asked questions about Heated Rivalry during interviews. Nothing about the Olympics.
When they bring up their gold medal, the response should be, “That’s nice.. so, anyway, are you a Shane or an Ilya?”
“What was the hottest scene and why?”
For the zeitgeist…

Does anyone find it weird that Jeffrey Epstein’s very good friend won’t accept that “no means no“?
