I think there’s one for a ruling party whose aspirations in that direction are more nationally-focused.

We know where it didn’t go — on his tax returns. Looking forward to the next Dem Administration Al Capone-ing this malevolent clown!

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

A defining feature of this admin is attacking as antisemitic everything they don’t like while constantly engaging in rank antisemitism.

I just checked and this is real. It's on Border Patrol's official Instagram (I don't see it on Facebook) and is being celebrated by Nazis on Twitter, as you can see in the screenshot.

The clip is just 13 seconds long too, so it's a very intentional thing. We've got a Nazi government.

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

If Platner can’t beat 77-y.o. Mills, why think he can beat 73-y.o. Collins?

Here's Diane Keaton at Warren Beatty's AFI tribute, talking about a perfect (no exaggeration) scene in Reds--taking the mystique out of filmmaking and then putting it right back in, in just two minutes. She was exquisite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_RS...

I assume Stephen Miller has lasted so long in Trump's good graces because he does two things at once: gleefully feeds Trump's worst impulses, and does it while being such an unappealing loser that Trump has never felt threatened or overshadowed.

A “relentless desire to believe” isn’t a great trait in a journalist.

People at the company (Disney) that now owns the company that released THE POST in 2017 (Fox) should rewatch it. Katharine Graham published the Pentagon Papers while The Post was in the run up to an IPO and the Nixon Administration was threatening the FCC licenses of stations it owned.

Media moguls and senior execs are happy to bask in a prestige and perceived gravitas owners and execs of boring run-of-the-mill companies don’t. They get awards at dinners widget manufacturers aren’t invited to. But they’re failing now that strength and courage are asked of them.
