would you kill baby hitler? I dunno man, killing a baby would be pretty unpleasant.

But shooting a dumb asshole in the middle of spewing racist bullshit? Seems like that went pretty well.

He can’t live without the attention, and neither can the White House press corps. They will be sucking and fucking each other until the day Trump finally dies.

This is not a power the president has. Suggesting otherwise is a lie.

Don’t print lies in the newspaper.

Curious if there’s a list of reporters who did sign so they can be permanently disregarded.

Build as big a fence as you want, it still has to have a gate if you want to go in and out. This will get rid of the demonstrations.

Matt Taibbi is a terrible person, however, when he had a podcast he had this bit where he would inhale helium and read bad op-eds.

It would serve well for this transcript.

I wonder if there are any historical examples for what happens when the authoritarian street brawlers become obsolete due to the consolidation of power and rise of a national paramilitary force?

It’s pretty fucked when anyone is expecting the legitimate function of the press to be “giving credit” to an administration.

Not their job!

Hegseth: “You would think the Pentagon press corps…would be front and center across the board on wanting to give credit to the president for forging this kind of peace. Instead, what they want to talk about is a policy about them."

Anyway the only way out is through and I’m feeling perhaps naively optimistic about how the 2026 primaries will go.

whippet enjoyer @fiftyburger.bsky.social · 1d

‘If your ideas are supported by the party’s members you’ll win’ is a correct prescription for all candidates in the primary, not just the young insurgents.

This is the correct take, but it would be preferable if organizations like the DSCC existed more to win general elections than to pick sides in primaries.

This is true regardless of whether the DSCC is as powerful today as it was in 2006.

If we have the power to keep the government shut down it seems like we’re not that small.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

"During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she 'doesn’t look like' a Greeley."

www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Chicago Tribune: Greeley, who was born at Illinois Masonic hospital and is adopted, carries a copy of her passport just in case she runs into federal agents.

“I am Latina and I am a service worker,” Greeley said. “I fit the description of what they’re looking for now.”

During the encounter, Greeley said they told her she “doesn’t look like” a Greeley.

“They said this isn’t real, they kept telling me I’m lying, I’m a liar,” Greeley recalled. “I told them to look in the rest of my wallet, I have my credit cards, my insurance.”

The state of Alaska is insolvent below about $72/bbl. I wonder if this is relevant to midterms with a retiring governor!
