quote I got in 2017 going viral again - it happens like three times a year

Trump: "On July 7, it's going to be approximately 107 degrees out. And I'm gonna go and I'm gonna make a really long speech, just to show I can do anything."
Burgum: "I have never worked with or for anyone in my life that works harder than the person I'm about ready to introduce. I'm talking 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, and when he's working, he's working for all of you."
need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.
Takeout/delivery and cooking your own food are both wrong. Instead you should be losing weight at a supernatural rate due to the “Thinner” curse after accidentally running over an elderly woman with your car.
so anyway, the president has these awkward press availabilities every day where he falls asleep sitting at his desk while people compliment him, then he wakes up to ramble about how his blood cures cancer, then he calls a reporter an asshole
Reminder that Florida voters passed a Constitutional amendment in 2010 banning gerrymandering with 62% of the vote and the Florida GOP just stole the courts and ignored it. By contrast retaliatory gerrymanders in CA and VA passed with the approval of voters. Yet media portrays them as equivalent.
Florida's new congressional map is officially on the books.
The map aims to pick up 4 Democratic-held seats, which would expand the GOP's edge across Florida's 28 district from 🔴20-8🔵 to 🔴24-4🔵.
The Justice Department seems to be going out of its way to avoid saying that Cole Allen didn't fire any weapons at all inside the Washington Hilton — and that the officer hit was most likely hit by friendly fire. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/is-the-jus...
"Kid Rock takes joyride in Apache gunship to address the Pentagon on the Straits of Hormuz."
Make A Wish ass government. I pay taxes for this. We could've filled some potholes or built a bridge or bought some barefoot little redneck kids in West Virginia shoes or some shit.
a little pop history for the day: the plant cannabis has been around thousands of years, as an industrial fiber. Peoples of the steppe and other traditional cultures enjoyed cannabis smoke for recreation. But little old Europe and the West? They never got high until almost 1800.
I'll simply say again that for Shlaes to resurface in The Economist at this moment is an indicator of an ambient concern that Rooseveltian policies and politics are increasingly likely. The thing about the New Deal is, it was *immensely popular.* That's terrifying to certain people
Actual historians of the New Deal -- trained scholars, not partisan hacks -- have been savaging her nonsense for decades now but I guess if she's telling you what you want to hear that must feel good.
Here's @rauchway.bsky.social:
All the warning signs are blinking red and every other country is preparing their people for a massive crisis.
I’m asking people to please remember how Trump handled the beginning of Covid by gaslighting us and refusing to be honest about what was happening.
Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?
Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.
One of the lessons from Vietnam is that when they start bombarding you with numbers like these -- ordinance used, targets struck, so many killed and wounded -- there's more we're not being told.
Gen Caine On Iran: “Over the past 30 days, we’ve struck more than 11,000 targets. We’ve taken out more than 150 ships, including all Jamaran-class frigates. We continue targeting their defense industrial base at scale, including factories, warehouses, nuclear R&D labs, and related infrastructure.”
Right, simply entertaining this challenge as if it's remotely legitimate is already discrediting.
If there's a single vote to end birthright citizenship, we need to take this Supreme Court apart with sledgehammers and start over.
I said this in replies elsewhere, but I want to say it loudly here.
Anything other than a fullthroated affirmation of birthright citizenship in this country by SCOTUS is an act of treason. It is grounds for immediate impeachment. It is a violation of every oath they have made.
ICE officers getting paid for standing around doing nothing while TSA employees work without pay is a pretty succinct summation of where we're at right now
CNN’s Harry Enten: “John Fetterman's had a 108 point drop in his net approval with PA Dems since 2023….
“His net popularity with his own party is worse than all senators who lost a primary this century. There's no historical analog to his unpopularity.”
Confiscate 99.8% of Andreesen’s net worth for the public good, wait 20 minutes, and then tell him his memory of ever having more than $4 million is false.
A buddy of mine sent this. Prompt was "show a map of the grand canyon rim to rim to rim starting at south kaibab, going up and back on north kaibab and then up bright angel" and I may have spotted some issues...
Certain dudes are still upset with me when I said in 2012 that here in the US, being a straight white male is living on the lowest difficulty setting of life. From here on out I'm just going to refer them to these DOGE staffer depositions, and then tell them to go fuck themselves.
This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
