Huh. I wonder if they'll also examine what precedents precipitated those changes?
As former Vice President Dick Cheney is honored at a memorial service at Washington National Cathedral on Thursday, many eyes will focus on who comes — and who does not. Here's what we know.

I love that the default assumption is that he's lying, so they're truly stunned when it turns out he told the truth.

That's if you take this at face value, which I don't.

Shapiro's just full of shit.

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to Epstein.
This is a MAGA person responding to a post about Epstein. The line of argument they are developing in order to defend Trump is: Epstein was not so bad.

This, in a world where just saying nothing was a clear and viable option.
Dershowitz: The predecessor on your show described Epstein as a convicted pedophile. He pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. That’s not a pedophile.

“Women these days don’t want to have children.”

Well, we don’t actually know if women in the past wanted to. Nobody asked them, least of all their husbands.

In no way do I condone violence, but I'm afraid my empathy is experiencing a failure to launch on this one.

Gotta love that the enshitification of The White House was accomplished with spray-painted Home Depot dross.
CONFIRMED: the gold snot covering the Oval Office is $58-apiece onlays from Home Depot that have been spraypainted.

When Laura Ingraham confronted Trump about this in the Oval—specifically and correctly noting that the tacky garbage was from Home Depot—he lied to her face and insisted it wasn't.
