He's going to get a lot of flack for this from right-wingers who themselves imposed the same cost on critics of Charlie Kirk.

"I come from a dyed-in-the-wool states rights family. Always have been always will. Here's why I 100% support Trump's use of federal power to overrule state election processes." -- GOP Member of Congress

"you’re not going to street-protest your way into a democracy" is an interesting thing for Rubio to say a day after the results in Serbia and Brazil. www.state.gov/releases/off...

Akin's "legitimate rape" comment was 14 years ago. Amazing to think that the Party's reaction to this wasn't to distance, but to double down on the rape apologia, including nominating a rapist as their Party Leader three times. wgntv.com/news/ex-us-c...

The entire GOP political platform rides on an assumption that American are too dumb to know what the words “grift” and “impunity” mean.

oh no.

Obama talking about El-Sayed's arms one time is homoerotic. Trump about Husted's ass repeatedly is not. This is self-evident and logical. Beyond question.

no

Trump election message is lifted out of the Nathan for You "Gas Station Rebate" episode -- his $5000 promise is as unrealistic as the rebate Nathan offers -- never going to happen. Expect Nathan demands one for himself. (And drinking child urine is very RFK Jr) www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IWo...

Reposting given Trump's closing message of attacking message.

Yeah. The (ginormous) lesson learned here is that if you start by basing your policy on principles of international law, you don’t end up with the human and reputational costs of ignoring it, only to later look like an idiot for acknowledging it long after the damage is done.

Quantitative research would show that the politics of Abdul El-Sayed and Ilham Omar are far more distant from the Muslim Brotherhood than Donald Trump’s are from the Nazi Party.

Sen. Dan Sullivan, who chairs a China Commission that reports on how the CCP subverts rule of law to stay in power, is relying on his Party Leader to subvert rule of law in order to stay in power.

The Administration that is actively undermining academic freedom at American universities has suddenly decided to revive an old (and largely sidelined) tool of another authoritarian government used to undermine academic freedom. Hmm.

Remember, there was a reason that SCOTUS was explicit that Bush v Gore did not establish precedent.

Presumably because these Daughters didn’t invite the descendants of Muslims who fought in the American Revolution to join their group.

There are hundreds if not thousands of Republican staffers and lobbyists who eat in DC restaurants who could disprove this. But they’re too chicken shit to defend the city they live and/or work in. Cadres must not cross the Leader.

Before 2002, the New York Yankees won about a title every three years on average. After 2002, they’ve won 1 in 24 years.

Obama points out that values (or lack thereof) are just as big a problem for our civic society as affordability

The Impunity Agenda, part 1,573.

Women’s professional sports.

This is like asking Amy Acton to seek positive change in her family by forming a discrete partnership with her stepfather.

Federal courts don’t have jurisdiction over state election certification. Also 🚨🔥🚨🔥🚨🔥

💯 me too.

The Impunity Agenda is a key heuristic for understanding the Trump Administration agenda. Here, they are more than willing to deny justice for others (victims of genocide) in order to deny any possibility, or even argument for, that they might themselves be brought to justice.

Double standard alert! Conservatives are asserting communal rights as a white ethnic group or a Christian religious group while dismissing the possibility that women, LGBTQ, indigenous or disabled persons are entitled to claim group rights. Views my own: unexemptional.substack.com/p/conservati...

Trump “asked.” Just like Reagan asked Gorbachev to tear down that wall. If these manly Republican strongmen were as macho as their rhetoric portrays them to be, they’d do it themselves, rather than being someone’s bitch and have to ask.

"As I explained on Benny Johnson's podcast, only fags talk about dudes' butts. But here's why it's strategically brilliant for President Trump to obsess over Jon Husted's ass." -- GOP Member of Congress

Europeans through the Nobel Committee and the EU are giving a big fuck you to the GOP nativist anti-rule of law bullshit and I, a human rights booser, love it. www.france24.com/en/live-news...

In high school, a couple buddies and I went to the record store to buy tickets to what we thought was the upcoming Jon Anderson (lead signer of Yes) concert. The clerk looked us up and down and said, you sure you're talking about the right John Anderson? people.com/john-anderso...

Nothing supports the US/Israel justification that this war driven by strategic imperative and military necessity than announcing that strikes are timed around political events. (Also, letting your enemy know when you will start bombing)

Rob Manfred at 3:00 am: wakes up in a cold sweat screaming his lungs bloody Wife, startled: what is it Rob? RM, panting: I had the worst nightmare! Wife: About what? RM, ashen: I dreamt it was a Brewers-Rays World Series Wife: Honey, ummmm…

I love this because millenials and under won't get it

The Trump administration is looking to replace long-tenured State Department staff with more loyal personnel, current and former employees say.

17,000 unalived Ukrainian civilians were unavailable for comment.

we gotta bring back shame, man society doesn’t work real well without consequences for being an enormous piece of shit in public

Welfare queens.

Thank God James Carville, Carole King, Ken Burns, and that guy from Sha Na Na are still alive. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to vote.

"Bin Laden determined to strike inside U.S." provided no way to anticipate that Bin Laden was determined to strike inside the U.S.

In a 180-degree turn, the Justice Department has gone from its historic role of protecting and defending the individual right to vote to being the leading threat to free and fair elections.

ADL: Abdul El-Sayed said the thing! Ilhan Omar said the thing! Rashida Tlaib said the thing! Also ADL: the thing was said.

“I’ve strongly supported Ukraine’s right to defend itself from Russian aggression, the NATO alliance and efforts to hold Vladimir Putin accountable for war crimes. Here’s why it’s strategically cunning for President Trump to undermine all that.” — GOP Member of Congress

Proving that Secretary Rubio CAN express an opinion on Central Asian Turkic Muslims, and showing that his continuing silence on Uyghurs is a choice.
