the reason the mainstream media holds up a fake version of the trump administration that's making good faith efforts to address crime or boost manufacturing or whatever is because telling the truth about how people like loomer have power there would be toxically damaging to trump

AOC: If anybody says “this isn’t fair, I'm gonna have to divest all my stocks if I run for congress” maybe you should stay home.

It’s insane that “Free Palestine” gets treated as antisemitism, but “America is not a universal nation” is not. I’ll tell you what: as an American Jew, I feel much more threatened by White Christian nationalism than I do by Palestinian liberation.

For sure, but that was after they spent a while struggling with the consequences of doing it (and in that case it was a violent despot). Man that show truly was a work of fiction.

There was a season long arc in the West Wing about how this type of act was so morally depraved that it would end the Bartlett presidency

Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.

40% of Republicans think the COVID vaccine killed more people than the COVID virus. One in four believe that QAnon is real. No matter how far they radicalize, we are told over and over again that the people being rude to them are the problem.

"They were born to be criminals." Jesus. Trump is talking about Americans this way. And let's be clear - he's talking about Black and brown people in Blue cities.

Yep. It’s a lot easier to “moderate” people out of existence when you already don’t think any of them really exist.

Probably saved some fire for the 9th Circuit in there, understandably so.

My biggest fear is that Labour doesn't get completely destroyed in the next election and Democrats think this somehow worked. Or worse, Democrats think the problem is they didn't out flank Reform hard enough.

At some point you have to just admit that the reason this endless farrago of hatred and filth from the intelligentsia of the modern Right doesn't inspire rejection from the media, commentariat, or political elite writ large is that they don't consider it particularly bad.
