For Republicans, this is the ultra manly look most closely associated with Nick Adams of Nick Adams--Alpha Male and (almost needless to say) a corrupt and bigoted Australian immigrant loser who Trump nominated (of course) for a job as ambassador to Malaysia.

I heard the initial story, but the story is advancing and getting quite interesting!

Agreed. I didn't think Vance was this naive.

www.thedailybeast.com/jd-vance-hit... This is really simple. As a fascist podcast bro himself, Vance wholly approves of the Nazi Young Republicans from various states and thinks the Republican Party will be in good hands when they move into power.

You're right. MSNBC does well. They could do better but they do more than they're making a big contribution at a difficult time and I appreciate it. All the independent pro-democracy sites are also doing very well.

I'm surprised the NY Times doesn't demand that the Pulitzer people establish an award for euphemism. They'd win the Pulitzer Prize for Euphemism every year.

constitutional order and will remain so along with the Republican Party they'll inherit. Some will be fired and others like Richard Hanania will slink back to a version of the mainstream but they and the Republican Party will never accept multicultural democracy and will always be fascist at heart.

www.politico.com/news/2025/10... This report on a young GOP chat is more about the Republican Party than those involved. These are next generation GOP leaders and they're the most enthusiastic Nazis, mass murder by oven people, and excited bigots imaginable. They're all a threat to America's

newrepublic.com/post/201721/... Bari Weiss was a crappy opinion writer at the Times before she discovered how much it paid to be a MAGA contrarian. Is there any reason to think Weiss would not turn CBS into crap as well?

Would CBS News Have Run This Story a Week Ago?

Bari Weiss’s fingerprints can already be seen.

The color was part of what made Dick Tracy light and fun but that kind of feel lost out to the darker, heavier aesthetic of Batman and the Star Wars franchis. IMHO, that's why Dick Tracy didn't have much of a lasting cultural impact.

Trump admits that he's going to a very warm place where the singing of the birds can no longer be heard. He should inform Vance, Miller, Hegseth, and Noem that the same thing is in store for them. Definitely no puppies to shoot for Kristi Noem.

JORDAN: Comey is where weaponization all started. 9 years ago he took the dossier--

BASH: But that's not what he's being prosecuted for

JORDAN: I'm just saying, you want to talk about weaponization, that's where it started

BASH: So this is retribution then

Trump labeling ANTIFA a terrorist group is all part of his plan to criminalize the Democratic Party and ultimately ban it as a terrorist group. He wants one party rule. We know this because it's exactly what Hitler and Mussolini did when first came to power.

MTG's career in the Trump GOP hit the skids last year when Trump didn't offer her a cabinet job, chose Loomer as his girlfriend, and pushed her out of running for Gov or Senator. Marge objects to Epstein and Israel stuff as a MAGA true believer but this economic critique looks like a revenge tour.

That sounds good. John Thune should tell Chuck Schumer about the Democratic agenda. Apparently, Schumer is the only person in the country who doesn't know about it.
