Yes his brain is both smooth and worm-eaten. But also in his world anything short of death is fine, and even death is just like ugh why are we still talking about this
Trump: I hate even talking about ICE. 2 people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity.
Host: But it was 2 Americans who died—
Trump: We have the smallest trucks. We've been very tough on the waters
Host: The waters?
Trump: The waters where we knock out boats

So, remember that Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire that told priests to get their wills in order because “we are entering a new era of martyrdom"?
I ran across historical precedent for that today.
It's from a radio transcript @rns.org produced about a Lutheran bishop in Denmark…
…in 1943.

The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

The fact that Karl's ban was only temporary is a real black mark on this site.
it's extremely funny (in a cosmic sense) how that guy was like "yes marchini & stancil need to fear for their lives, I am completely serious", just in general, but particularly given apparently that's not a bannable offense on bluesky dot app.

I think it's no small miracle that a guy with views this far to the left has a widely-respected anchor job in American news media.
I think it's best for everyone to understand that the unified class project of billionaires right now is to do to white collar workers what globalization and neoliberalism did to blue collar workers.

btw this is the core of the conservative intellectual movement now, such as it is. this is why they must be destroyed at our earliest possible convenience with the power of the state.
This Claremont twit is so fearful of “wine moms” with cell phones and whistles that he’s demanding Trump crush them with violence.
Or rather, more violence.

the thing about the elites being “smeared” is that they absolutely knew what epstein was, at least by 2008ish, and were comfortable sidelining that thought if they still got invited to the cool parties

Shoutout to my prog politics with 4chan cadence folks out here
that tweet about how vance has 4chan politics with tumblr cadence - "pretty problematic of you to want to tax the rich when there's literally a (checks notes) white genocide going on right now"
JD Vance is the most loathsome character in American politics, and it's mostly because he's immediately recognizable to anyone with an interest in politics as The Worst Guy From Your PoliSci Class

the only thing i would really like to say about the slow, embarrassing death of the Washington Post is that i think people in their 30s and younger should probably relearn how to be comfortable paying for news that is worth paying for, or it won't be

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do

Tucker Carlson thought he could do a high quality conservative news outlet and when he found there was no audience for it he decided to become Julius Streicher
I do enjoy how many of these guys who turned their brains into sludge on come cocktail of roids think there is a huge unserved audience of MAGA chuds who desperately want to read the newspaper.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
