i mean to be fair he also famously chose not to run for re-election even though he could've and probably would've won
The one thing I remember from doing a high school paper on Coolridge is that everybody saw the great depression winding up & Coolridge thought about it carefully and concluded, "God would never let anything bad happen to His Favorite Country, America," and then did nothing to stop it.

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

If Mamdani gets Trump removed from office and committed before even taking office I think we have to call him the most successful mayor in American history?

this is michael wolff so it's probably totally made up but it would be very funny if its true. like half the people on this website were like "mamdani is a handsome, cool guy, trump is gonna be nice to him", how could his own inner circle not have guessed this was a possibility
The author shared that White House insiders were floored by “Trump’s gush session” with Mamdani, noting that the look in the president’s eyes was “crazy.”

as someone whose jewish ancestors who came over in the exact same wave of mass migration that stephen miller's did, my contempt for this creep is boundless
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

just a reminder that the current best explanation for why this was necessarily or desirable is that the President wanted to see some video of it
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

the most unsettling part of the presidential Turkey Pardon is not the cheeky reminder that we, the state, have temporarily given one person power over life and death – but rather the implication that this preening, Beautiful Turkey has committed Federal Crimes

it's more of a materialist vision: you work m-f in the ufc sports gambling factory. drive your monster truck back to the exurbs where your trad wife and kids that you hate are waiting & tell them shut up about the pokemon. sunday you go to a weird church where they say the pope is woke
i mean what are these "western values" these guys are so hopped up about? they are directly antagonistic to western europe. they don't believe in civil liberties. they reject democracy. and don't get me started on christianity, they hate their white neighbors almost as much as the brown ones

How Republicans commemorated Thanksgiving in 1869--with a multi-racial/multi-ethnic gathering of people at a table with a centerpiece celebrating universal suffrage and self-government, and with an engraving of Castle Garden, the pre-Ellis Island point of disembarkation for immigrants.

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?
