Lifelong Republican who had to leave the party behind in 2016. Independent now and can't believe the difference in perspective letting go of the tribalism provides. Obsessed with con artists, cults and conspiracy theorists.

Boomers: Vaccines cause autism because there are more vaccines these days and nobody I knew was diagnosed with Autism. Now let me show you my massive spoon collection from all 50 states that I polish every week.

Who do I think I am? I am a man who will stand up when another man beats on my daughter. You can't say the same thing Bernie. Who the fuck are you Bernie you coward?

Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"

Yeah but will they have to suck Trump's dick at each other's funerals....yep.

Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."

Odds just went WAY up that we are going to blow up a bunch more schools in Iran.

HUGE WIN IN KATIE PHANG’S EPSTEIN FILES LAWSUIT: Judge Emmet Sullivan is making the DOJ prove its case. Todd Blanche must now submit the unredacted Epstein Files documents for in-camera review along with evidence supporting the government’s redactions.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: In a stunning admission, the FBI just confirmed to me the existence of training videos instructing FBI analysts on what to redact in the Epstein Files. I’ll show you the letter and discuss the massive implications in one hour. Link below: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

The 11 a.m. Tuesday time slot is at the Great American State Fair is apparently not the most fruitful, as there are more musicians in the band than spectators. (The band, consisting of young musicians, including a heluva brass section, was quite good.)

Sorry I was absent from my job as the Baby Healthcare Slasher. I had depression for reasons that I’m sure are entirely unrelated to that. Anyways back to my job giving everyone infectious diseases and driving teenagers to suicide.

Reform the court. 13 justices (same as districts), phased nominations, term limits with senior status, ethics reforms with independent enforcement etc. We cannot solve the systemic issues with our nation without court reform.

Everyone should be extremely concerned that birthright citizenship was 5-4 and not unanimous.

"Peace in our time" is infamously what Nevil Chamberlain said about the deal they cut with Hitler....in 1938. I hope nothing bad happened after that.

Rep. Haridopolos: "I credit the president. He held firm and made sure we have peace in our time."

Weaponization.

I am not a lawyer, but the conduct described here seems very bad to me! For example, presenting a case to a grand jury which refused to indict, then *kicking out the jurors who voted against the charges and trying again.*

Carrying very low...gonna be a boy?

Q: Are you attending your son's wedding this weekend? TRUMP: Uhhhh. He'd like me to go. I'm gonna try and make it. I said, 'This is not good timing for me. I have a thing called Iran and other things.'

Opinion | As a principled online leftist, I am outraged by Trump and Netanyahu's campaign of violence in the Middle East. I demand that Kamala Harris hold a book signing so I can publicly protest this atrocity.

OUTTA HERE: This month,Tesla customers were outraged over what some called a “bait and switch” over the Full Self-Driving feature. And there's more: many other Tesla faithful are reaching breaking point. @milesklee.bsky.social has the full story for @wired.com www.wired.com/story/the-te...

wired.comThe Tesla Influencers Leaving the ‘Cult’The EV manufacturer is supported by a robust online community. But Elon Musk’s politics and overblown hype about Full Self-Driving are turning some loyalists away.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.

TRUMP SAYS “I THINK THE (IRAN) WAR IS VERY COMPLETE, PRETTY MUCH"

Donald Trump is threatening to suspend federal elections this fall. But it's so cringe when the wine moms call him "Donald Drumpf". I have never felt more politically homeless.

I would also recommend the book "The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism".

Two books from the complete opposite sides of the Christian nationalism debate, one by Stephen Wolfe, the other by @johnfugelsang.bsky.social, could not be more different. One relies almost exclusively on the words of Jesus, the other not at all. Guess which one! open.substack.com/pub/hatecome...

As long as Ohio Sen. John Husted has been in office, he's accepted over $116,000 from Les Wexner, former Victoria’s Secret CEO and alleged Epstein co-conspirator. Husted accepted $3,500 from Wexner as recently as July—only two months before voting to block the Epstein files release. trib.al/6iNBfAh
