I don't believe in magic or anything, but honestly it feels like there's some kind of Hex that stops people from thinking/talking about how Trump is a rapist, someone else accused him of raping her and its like silence even from people who fucking hate Trump, bizarre.

Have you heard about Nevada Neymar Pierre, a 3-year-old soccer prodigy, has gone viral following a controversial incident where police were called to his youth soccer match and removed the boy because he was playing too good!

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

Trump has influenced not just what the Republican Party does but what they actually believe is acceptable. “We need to understand how far they have shifted their thinking,” Marc Elias says, “and we need to adjust our tactics accordingly.” New rules, new fights. Follow us to keep up.

Just finished watching The Diplomat S4 and it is wildly sharp and off-the-charts entertaining. Every one of the eight episodes ends on a season-finale-level OMG-what-now twist. Wall-to-wall fun, sterling performances, and a kind of current political resonance that doesn't feel smug or forced.

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

Reading has become an endangered species. Which is half the problem with American political life. Maybe more than half. If you can't read, you can't think. Then you can fall for anything. The idea, for instance, that the truth is fake news.
