“For us, (Wildwood) was actually the biggest movie of the year,” said Michael Pontius, head manager of McMenamins St. Johns Theater & Pub, “and probably for the eight years I’ve worked here.”

Listen, when I said the tent was big enough for all of us, this is not what the fuck I meant.
Thanks for the publicity or whatever, but Neo-nazis need not apply.
🔥 BEN MEISELAS ERUPTS: The Cheesecake Factory faux outrage exposes the propaganda machine.
They brainwash Americans into fighting each other while oligarchs steal our healthcare, send our kids to endless wars, and buy more yachts.
Divide the people. Enrich the oligarchs.
Trump: "We'll take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran ... those beautiful ships, they'll pass Cuba. We'll have one of them stop about 50 yards off the coast. They'll raise up their hands, and then we're gonna send Marco Rubio in."
Q: Your ambassador to Turkey just said that 'absolutely, there could a strike on Iran this weekend.' Have you gone back on holding off until after the midterms?
TRUMP: If that's the case, I don't know anything about it
NEW: GOP operative Scott Presler built his reputation registering Republicans and accusing Dems of voter fraud. But a review by The Bulwark found GOP operatives from other states voting from his home—and evidence raising questions about their residency.

Oh good, we’ve made it to the “advertising discrete partnerships with the CIA” stage of this goatfuck.
I remember when Marco was supposed to be the reasonable one.
People on the ground deeply worried about Michigan. The unprecedented money and hate might be tilting it. Would be devastating if El Sayed loses. Hopefully enough people come to their senses.
Trump has pocketed billions of dollars from crypto schemes as he deregulated the industry.
He's also pocketing millions of dollars buying stock in corporations that he's actively helping.
Wondering why he doesn't care about affordability?
It's because he's doing better than ever.
NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads?
Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them.
The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything.
Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.
Me: "What does it say for your credibility on foreign policy issues, if you've gotten the two biggest foreign policy issues of our lifetime, Iraq and Gaza, both wrong?"
Matthew Yglesias: "I don't know, what does it mean to get Gaza right?"
New clip below.

INTERCEPTORS FAIL: Terrifying footage from July shows U.S. troops racing for cover at Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates as an Iranian missile evades air defenses and strikes dangerously close to American personnel.
Allowing one unelected man to have control over crucial aspects of the US military, allied militaries, the US space program, and so many other aspects of human life is absolutely insane. We were stupid to allow this to happen and it must be fixed ASAP.
Ashley Hinson praises Trump: "We have a president who actually listens. Who actually listens to us and helps us deliver those results to get things done. So I am so grateful to him for coming back to Iowa."
Trump gingerly gets off Marine One and lumbers across the tarmac to Air Force One. (He's not using the Qatari bribe jet today for some reason.) Natalie Harp (and her bag) boards shortly after he does.
What is wrong with Dem leadership? They trip over themselves to meet with Jared Kushner but are mum on the political targeting racism and harassment of their own members.
Hamilton: "Keep in mind that the president offered to pay voters $5,000 a piece to reelect Roger Marshall. He was gonna spend $1 trillion to do this. So we're talking $350 billion over 10 years to help people h ave their health insurance?"
(Stay for the end of his response too.)
AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"
AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"
AOC: "They call people communists, they call them this or that. But really what it is is they're afraid of a waitress in the House and a logger in the Senate"
New in PN: The end of the Trump rally
"Even for the diehards, his rallies have become a slog as a sleepy president rambles pointlessly from one subject to another, like a musical act whose hit-making days are decades in the past playing the old songs with little of the verve that made them popular"
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"
JD Vance: "Because Pete Ricketts has been fighting for your farmers, today I'm proud to announce $1.3 billion in investment in domestic fertilizer manufacturing right here in Nebraska"
House Democrats have already begun to make contact with potential Pentagon whistleblowers prepared to “spill their guts” should they launch a congressional investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
