We found the line the GOP wishes never got crossed.

A seemingly straight, cis-male, who worked for veterans, and was legally carrying his permitted handgun, was shot in the back 3 times after he was disarmed by masked federal agents, and then shot 7 more times as he lay dying in the gutter.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?

Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

I've been wondering this from the start.
The administration needs to be asked directly how many J6ers, and anyone convicted of seditious conspiracy, are now ICE agents with a badge and a gun.

If you're a Republican, take everything I just said but change the president to Barack Obama and the men populating the army that just invaded your town to ones who hate red towns, states, and Americans...and white Christians.

You would've called it a civil war *two minutes in*.

A few thoughts on this important NYT analysis:

First, the officer who killed Good is shown running up the *passenger* side of the car seconds before he killed her. He shot her first from the front, then the driver's side. This means he *put himself* in the path of the vehicle when he shot her.
Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

If you can, show this to your trumpy friends and family. We attended the opening and saw the cast interviews. A24 understood it would be included on Prime Video but that didn't happen.

The MSM is making comparisons with the invasion of Iraq, speaking of the AUMF, etc. Here's what they're missing: We are Iraq. Trump is Saddam. Venezuela is Kuwait.
Trump banners hanging in DC. The White House's transition to a palace. The arch he wants to erect. Trump's name plastered on everything.

I feel like Indiana abandoning Trump is a tipping point. And it’s not because they didn’t want a new map. It’s because he shook them down.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Just a fundamentally decent, normal person, and I miss that so much right now

The Trump White House is full of cretins and ghouls who are constitutionally incapable of sincerity or humility

/7 Klein’s other theme seems to be that even if people are advocating terrible things, things that dehumanize others, we should find a way to act as if they are not, in order to find common ground. But is that really right? And what if it’s not reciprocal?
