it's inevitable but i don't really like that the popular response to Trump's admin blaming Biden for the shooter is to point out that Trump let this guy in
there's no such thing as a perfect screening process and it's bad to beg the question that a single bad apple represents a vetting failure

I'm seriously questioning on whether people truly believe Trump is a monster or if they're just parroting words they see other people say.
Why the fuck would you ever consent to a photo of yourself smiling with a guy who wrote a poem for Epstein on the outline of a naked young girl?

This is what I mean. Mamdani has given Trump a surge of populist credibility - among some of the most impossibly stupid people in the country, sure, but credibility nonetheless

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth just launched a sham investigation into me for my support for Ukraine, all because I demanded Trump’s call transcripts with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman be released.
Instead of transparency, I was met with retaliation.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.”
Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

Trump calling for the execution of his political opponents isn't anywhere on the nytimes, cnn, bloomberg, cnbc main pages.
Reporters think that just because it is happening on social media, it doesn't matter.

Elon is a bullshit artist but some people are letting negative polarization rewrite their brain to become against objectively good things that he has unfortunately branded himself as being associated with. Actually working self driving cars are obviously good and will likely save many lives.

I'm very opposed to any local dem mayors or governors meeting with Trump, as it normalizes his illegal and disastrously corrupt presidency.
This holds for Whitmer as it holds for Mamdani.

At this point it's either declared innocent or a mistrial, and I really hope that it isn't declared a mistrial as I suspect that our corrupted DOJ would just try again in that case. Comey is innocent and Trump shouldn't be allowed to try and prosecute him again here.

This is not an endorsement of his MTG statement, personally I am very in favor of seeking converts not traitors but unwilling to extend that to MTG, I stop at Boebert or so. But the specific complaint in the quoted post is unfair

The Defense department account should definitely be banned for this, but people should not be using it as a defense of personal accounts that make jokey death threats, as that is just whataboutism, and even jokey death threats should earn suspension.

This is what male solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like:
Artist Andres Serrano--successful, but nowhere near the same class as Thiel & other billionaires in the files--stating that he'll vote for Trump, despite his politics, out of *sympathy* with T's sexual assaults on women.

Weirdly I think that both of these statements are true. Epstein had a small circle of important people who he had power over through acting as a pimp and blackmailer, and a much larger circle of important people who he could influence with money and connections that he got from the smaller group.

Rail traffic started up on the year on attempts to preempt tariffs, fluctuated after that but benefitted from fewer hurricanes in the continental US compared to 2024. Now looking down during the critical holiday season in an unsurprising way.

Folks are rightly focusing on how gross and racist-orientalist this is and I just feel the need to note that Ahmed al-Sharaa has one wife, Latifa al-Droubi, who from what I can find (she seems quite private) has an MA in Arabic literature.
JD Vance: "I don't know if you saw this media circulating on social media, but the president met the president of Syria, al-Sharaa, in the Oval Office a couple of days ago, and he asked him, 'How many wives do you have?' Heh heh heh heh heh! Haaaaaa! Amazing comedic timing."
