It's only a distraction if you allow it to be.

Seen this story all day today. Every headline says "27 year old Minnesota man..." I have yet to see one with the headline that the man was Somalian. The most maligned and denigrated group in Minnesota www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/2...

"The Scaramucci" is dead -- long live "the Zacharia"!

The thing about Shane Gills is that he's really not that funny. You're welcome to criticize his sexism, but I think your cause would be better served by ignoring him.

Good Christ, what in the Nip/Tuck FUCK is going on with these MAGA women? 😱

The legacy of Brett Kavanaugh -- the "brief encounter" of racial-based kidnapping conducted by the federal government. Entirely predictable when the Supreme Court chooses to ignore the reality of how law enforcement officers actually act in the field.

The Constitution was intended to protect people from having their rights taken away by the government. But Samuel Alito thinks the Constitution exists to provide the framework for government to take away people's rights. This difference is why Samuel Alito is an asshole.

Samuel Alito's original sin has always been intellectual dishonesty. He knows what the law says, and what the Constitution represents, but willfully distorts it to allow, if not support, the rulings he wants to make. He's a liar, pure and simple.

Truly I never want to hear from broke ass Nebraskans begging for more welfare after seeing them laughing and guffawing when their leader said Iran can nuke Southern California Truly stfu Cornhuskers

It's likely that Trump meant that nuclear Iran would be able to take out American cities, so higher gas prices are a "small price to pay." But 1. He took a flippant tone towards a state that he's repeatedly attacked, and 2. It should take a road map to figure out what a president actually means.

Some will say that Trump was "joking" about Iran nuking San Diego or LA, or that he was just talking off the cuff, that he wasn't actually inviting Iran to attack the Blue State that happens to be the constant rhetorical target of Fox News. But it's still not acceptable behavior by a president.

How does Michael Tracey make a living? Is there that much money in being a sexual assault truther? Feels like his audience would be limited to frat bros and pedophiles.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

After yesterday’s Senate hearing, it’s crystal clear that Jack Smith should be the next Attorney General.

I think we underrate that JCO came up in 20th century New York literary circles where everyone said five most devastating insults before breakfast and as one of the last one standing, her competition is guys who get sad if their chatbot isn't sufficiently nice to them.

Is the GOP still pushing this? Or did they realize basic competence still counts for something?

So I've basically settled on the stupider mistake happening: Schmitt didn't confuse Hawks and Hawkeyes, he saw a reference to a row and seat number and concluded that the seat must exist in a particular city despite having no evidence to support that conclusion.

When your entire attack line is garbage and you thought you were being clever, you’re a Schmitt-head.

It occurs to me that if Schmitt had a text message that said "Hawks" he would've used it as a visual aide. Did somebody see "Terps vs Hawks" or something stupider and make such an absurd leap of logic that it didn't even work as a gotcha? Is it malice or incompetence? [why-not-both.gif]

I personally believe that Eric Schmitt would be an excellent running mate for JD Vance. Call it the Hillbilly and the Dirtbag ticket.

Dr. Oz is a scumbag and should never been taken at face value. But also, if you think people with health insurance automatically *want* to go to the doctor, that they don't think twice about copayments and missing work, then you probably also bought the "miracle fat burner" he sold on TV.

Please know that this is one of my few legitimate areas of actual, high-level professional expertise: Kicking the healthiest people off of a health insurance program will bankrupt it. Not 'could;' not 'might,' not 'probably," but absolutely will, with mathematical certainty.

lmao

It seems so quaint now, but back in 2008 the economy basically crashed because finance guys knowingly pushed bad deals for quick commissions. Their individual greed was stronger than their collective common sense. Now we've got an idiot president pushing dangerous AI stocks that he also owns.

Hey dipshit. Yeah you, the dummy thinking you might vote Republican because of this. He already promised you a $2k refund of the tariffs you've been paying and never delivered. He also controls Congress and could deliver this today, tomorrow, or the day after Election Day. He won't. Don't be stupid

While it's possible to be concerned about multiple issues at the same time, even when you're as feeble-minded as Donald Trump, you have to wonder why he's tweeting about grouting a sidewalk when people are worried about Iran, Canada, and poisoned beef. He truly has no idea what's going on.

Not enough attention is being given to the fact that Donald Trump's attack against mail-in voting is a continuation of the Republican Party's practice of closing polling places. If you can't vote by mail, and they close your polling place, you can't vote against them. It's really that simple.

Purple (glossy)starling 25cm lives in tropical Africa very social birds that form noisy groups, join other starling species gathering in thousands for communal roosts. Diet insects, ants, and caterpillars, figs, berries nectar forage in trees, on the ground. Monogamous parents raise the chicks

Wait, so everyone is twelve theory already had a name?

Vote like your life depends on it, or the life of a friend, relative, or neighbor. Because it does. We’re the decoys now.

Our latest rose up close

Given that Capital One just filed documents that indicate Trump is likely involved in money laundering, I would take Trump's insistence on immunity to mean that a Dem-led Congress needs to start investigating Trump financial crimes in January 2027.

In John Brennan's suit against Blanche, a bunch of lawyers have written what amounts to be a 50-page amicus laying how how Trump has squandered presumption of regularity. Kilmar is AFAICT the only case listed twice, and there's a bunch missing. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

An extremely well-deserved victory lap from Bishop: The “index crossed into TACO territory on Wednesday and shot through its three key precedents on Thursday,” with pivot said to begin “after President Trump’s ‘mindset started to change on Thursday evening’”

Notable reference to the Trump vs. IRS slush fund in the final footnote of this ruling. Trump's DOJ is successfully proving to judges across the country that they cannot be trusted. Turns out that weaponizing the DOJ is harder than it looks.

the odyssey is not accurate to the real ancient greek history because it is displayed on film and not on decorative pottery

I wonder if Trump understands that by focusing on Georgia he's pushing Jon Ossoff into the national spotlight, setting him up for a presidential run in 2028.

Feels like a good time to remember that, despite their claim to be only going after bad guys, not a single ICE agent has been killed by a bad guy. Not a single time have they raided a target in gang territory and encountered somebody who opened fire on them. Not once.

Mitch is alive and well... and in perfect hibernation 🎬 #filmsky #moviesky #cinema
