Probably the quietest person you know if you meet me.
RFK, Jr exists to remind us why dynastic families should be taxed into oblivion. You get one generation in the limelight and then your spawn have to get real jobs changing bed pans in the old folks home or whatever.

Been quiet lately because I'm taking a mental health break from the daily tempests in a teapot that will ultimately mean fuckall to anything. Republicans mistook 2024 for an endorsement of Trump's revenge plots, they're going to get spanked, and we'll keep muddling along.

At this point I think a color revolution is far more likely than successful consolidation of a thousand year Reich. The executive class may want to bend the knee but regular people aren't having it.

I think if Democrats manage the unlikely feat of flipping the Senate we're going to be astonished how quickly Republicans throw Trump into the same oubliette where they exiled Bush. The thing saving Trump is the belief he's electoral gold. Puncture that and he's nothing but a toxic lame duck.

Also probably worth pointing out the price of beef has been baked into the cake for a while due the years of declining herds due to drought and other factors. My understanding is the lead time is so long ranchers physically can't grow new supply in time for Trump.

It's 2025 and there is a Clinton blow job scandal. Did the writers go on strike? Are we doomed to live in Boomer nostalgia clip shows for eternity?

It's been said I guess, but I do think Trump's degeneracy is a huge part of his appeal to elites. He gives them permission to shamelessly and openly indulge in all their vices whereas Biden's profound normie decency set up a shameful contrast they couldn't abide.

It is actually bad the nation's most prominent newspaper is staffed by nerds who clearly want to be in a giant polycule actually and have warped views of what's newsworthy.

Violence is so baked into our language I kind of do think a general rule against threats that aren't directed at actual users is kind of dumb. But if you're going to have such a rule it does need to be enforced consistently.

I'm thinking we need a slightly richer taxonomy: you can be a poasting GOAT or a poasting knave and many people are choosing knave today.

Complaining about downwardly mobile leftists is so close to getting an important point about how multigenerational upward mobility was a key component of the vibes of the late 20th century.

Surprised our property owning betters haven't proposed the 99 year mortgage with a covenant requiring special permission to transfer it outside of one's family yet. Generational debt bondage seems right up their alley.

It's pretty weird how people keep circling back to deliverism when we're getting a stunning demonstration the idea doesn't even work for Nazi shit. I'm starting to feel like the platonic ideal presidency is the 2nd Obama term where not much policy happens but POTUS looks cool on TV.

Housing is still a local supply and demand issue no matter how much people want it to be part of the national discourse. Not a lot of articles written about the housing deals in Lubbock because no one educated enough to be posting about it wants to live there.

I guess if Republicans feel they're going to lose the midterms the other trick they could pull is to delegate a bunch of powers to Trump that will be impossible to yank back without a veto override. Main reason they wouldn't is if they're nervous about 2028.

If it's one thing immigrants are famous for it's consuming a ton of housing resources vs native born citizens. (Yes I'm being facetious)

I can't think of a job more miserable than backbench Democrat in a Trump district tbh. You're never going to advance to leadership because you're vulnerable and have to take ideologically heterodox positions and the MAGA cultists still think you deserve the gas chamber.

Feels like Twilight of the Elites wasn't harsh enough. The Epstein affair is looking like the 1%er pedophile priests scandal. Practically everyone is implicated in the cover up.

What I'm learning is NYC scumbag solidarity is real and these people must never be allowed near supreme executive authority again.

I'm back to thinking Trump with his celebrity and long entanglement with NYC elite society is sui generis. They like Vance too, but I don't see political media and certainly not voters circling the wagons for him to nearly this extent. If for nothing else because he won't be good showbiz.

I do wonder if a financial crisis would cause the wheels to completely fall of the Trump train the way it did for Bush. So far you don't have the same chorus of griping about fake conservatism so I suspect not, but maybe all the low information normies abandon him.
