Trump and Farage and LePen aren’t offering a fairer distribution of wealth though. They’re offering demonization of poor immigrants and if anything an even more oligarchic economy.

CJ Carr, you are a traitor to your family, but that throw was pretty fun.
I mean based on what Arch looked like yesterday he maybe could have kept his old job.
Is there evidence Michigan was interested? I think they could use a bridge to Underwood but I didn’t hear anything about that. But anyway, if NIL is making playing a fifth year more attractive than being on an NFL practice squad that’s unambiguously positive.
“Why are the voters of every large wealthy country going insane in precisely the same way” is the defining question of our time. Some of it is internet brain poisoning. Some of it is diversity backlash. Some of it is being mad things are more expensive than they were in 2019.
That obviously fictitious first paragraph is either preemptively covering up something super weird about who was in the car with him or just lying for the love of the game. Idk which.
The administration’s primary goal is torturing migrants. Their plan to send Venezuelan migrants to a concentration camp using the Alien Enemies Act was tripped up because the statute applies to aliens from a country at war with the US. Seems like that could be the reason they want to start a war.
My most boomer opinion is that football teams should have one white uniform and one colored uniform. None of this special nonsense. That’s what the word “uniform” means
These things are not contradictory they are because of each other. Notably racism as a political force in Europe as taken off as it has gotten more diverse
He has work to do at home. He probably would be an improvement on Starmer.
We’re going to fail to cover by 20 points but I feel fine about it. Bryce looks like the real deal in an opponent-invariant way and if their 17 points, seven are on a preposterous targeting call and three are on a drive they gained two yard so they have functionally seven points.
Screaming obscenities in the bar over a targeting call in a 17 point game. Football’s back baby.
Apoplectic about a targeting call in a 17 point game. We’re so back.
Boy I want football to be safer and everything but that is big horseshit. He has a head and the other guy had a head and he tackled him. Come on.
The second best FCS team in Massachusetts (Go Crimson) getting a transitive win over Notre Dame would be incredible.
Farmers Insurance ad seat.
I assume it’s a hyper-squib to prevent a return but I like the idea that they were just doing it for fun.
First full football Saturday is real test for whether this place has the juice for more than politics
I wonder how much this has to do with the fact that they were Christian pre-colonial
Yeah he sucked which is why I didn’t vote for him. But he’s obviously orders of magnitude less bad than the current lot.
I’ve said this before but my first serious girlfriend voted for McCain when I voted for Obama and we laughed about it. I have very good friends who voted for Romney. I’m not intolerant of normal political difference, I’m intolerant of fascism. Not my fault the other party embraced it!
No idea what you’re talking about, but with one very small punctuation mark this is my move in week as a freshman at Michigan 18 years ago.
I was 5, it’s my first sports memory and my parents (both Michigan alumni) said “yeah this is what it’s like to be a Michigan fan you’re gunna have to get used to it.”
Thinking about this because I’m here and the headline in the local newspaper is that she is “very alarmed’ at firing of cdc director” which is the Susan Collins is Alarmed bit in the wild for real
Going to make it all the more embarrassing when the good people of Maine reelect Susan Collins while Trump runs a 10% approval rating in the state.
I assumed the midterms were going to be a bloodbath for republicans, at least if remotely free and fair, but if where in “incumbent thinks she would lose statewide in Iowa” territory they’re going to be worse (better) than I expected.
Golf is great and I hate that it’s republican-coded. Not sure it can “save” friendships.
Yeah feels like a lifelong soldier and supreme commander of the largest war in human history maybe had a level of respect for the military that turned him off to this in a way a draft dodger does not
Not to be overserious but the key line in Genesis is “God created humankind in His image.” An AI priest feels idolatrous on a bone deep level.
The most famous pop star in the world having her first post-engagement appearance at a week 0.5 game between Nebraska and Cincinnati is so beautiful I want to cry.
Cool that I’m probably going to have to smuggle my child over the border to Canada to get to outline vaccines because the stupidest Kennedy is afraid of needles.
When I hit snooze this morning instead of getting up and exercising before work I had no idea I was protecting myself from Covid (physical inactivity eligibility). Good for me!
This is wrong regardless of its partisan impact, but given the realignment of high-propensity and low-propensity voters over the past decade, I also don’t think this stuff is going to work for them anymore.
I know it's not 1349 anymore, but Yersinia is the thing that once killed half the planet in the greatest catastrophe in human history, right?
Not to be a killjoy, but we’re also just the party of the kind of person who votes in an August special now. Idk how much it will transfer. Maybe!
This is also an importable solution. Though Miller is pushing him to be a pre-Glorious Revolution king, I think we could convince him to settle for a modern kingship. Gilded shit and attention are his true passions.
This is my chance to share that Iowa’s other “Cedar Watercourse” city, Cedar Rapids, has the absolutely baffling motto “the city of five season” and the fifth is the time to enjoy the other four.
There was a Ben & Jerry's where I went to college that gave out a free cone once a year and the line was around the block. Even as a broke college student with an annual income of negative 30,000 a year, I was like "I value my time too much to stand in a 2 hour line for a 2 dollar cone."
Grotesque. Anti-Christian. Also I don't think it's true that liberals have greater affection for rocks(?) than their families.
The best description of this administration I’ve seen is “A sustained war on anyone who has ever read a book”
Oh god what if it was me?
I don’t mean to suggest that the removability of a fed governor is the same level of thing, but like so much of mainstream conservatives in the past decade, it really does have Von Pappen/Hindenburg vibes.
Shocked. Shocked! That their shadow docket footnote didn’t work.
I can’t believe an unreasoned footnote while overruling Humphrey’s Executor on the shadow docket didn’t work!
Going down to the Coliseum to watch two prisoners of war scavenger hunt to the death.
Yeah why do we need a new motto? I only knew we were shopping for a new flag.
“Donald the Dove”
Good to see the secretary of health and human services finds time to get out to the tennis.
Easy to dunk on cantlay but I actually respect anyone who is such a transparent bag chaser and still rejected liv.
Yeah that call into Fox about avoiding Hell, from someone who has never shown any sign of religiosity before, was real weird and consistent with someone who learned he had a terminal diagnosis. It's probably just him being weird because he's a weird guy, but it was noticeable.
“Chicago has the most murders in the country” is just a different way to say “New York and Los Angeles are very safe.”
I mean there’s some intrastate variation. I would live in Chicago in a heartbeat. I would never live downstate. I would live in the Bay Area happily, I wouldn’t live in Bakersfield.
Pretty sure he’s doing a self-depreciating bit as a Florida fan.
Yeah they say this place doesn’t have the juice but a former NFL punter never answered my question about punting on Old Twitter.
You would know. Can you control the spin to hit like that and bounce back or is it mostly luck?
I love this sport. The NFL just cannot produce the joy of a muffed punt and fumbled pitch in the first five minutes of the season.
Muffed punt baby. We’re so back.
Unfortunately the latter
Are these there permanent homes or special one-offs? Please the former.
Welcome to college football Saturday
Hot dog suit guy etc.
Really sorry you went through that. Also, in less important concerns, hope the comments on this one stay sane.
Yeah I have a hard time being convinced that the laws and norms against three terms will stop him when the laws and norms against, uhh, not being president if you lose the election, did not.
I think the markets have been Pollyannish about Trump from the beginning (and on less serious matters, like tariffs)
Thank goodness the start of football season will give me an escape from the dark reality of our country's ascendant fascism. Now to sit down and read the first few paragraphs of the season preview form my favorite football blog @mgoblog.bsky.social
For the 3 of the 4 in 10 Republicans it's either because "Biden stole 2020" or some district judge blocked a Trump proposal. Essentially the exact opposite of the reasons we understand.
Weirdos talking about Sydney Sweeney represent the Democratic Party. The Republicans president does not represent the Republican Party.
That's not a nice way to refer to the President.
Probably lunchtime in Dublin.
Ryan, it's 9 am.
Same as the Letitia James and the fed governor they are credulously pretending are being investigating for mortgage fraud.
Ok but I do.
Also the past isn’t even past. My parents were teenagers in August 1965.
One sign of how many little-know civil rights martyrs there are is that I grew up deep in the Episcopal Church and just heard of this.
"views on mass shootings." Boy I didn't know there was more than one available view on that topic.
It's weird because he's old but he's not *that* old. He was 42 or 43 in 1989 and most people's brains last longer than that.
Yeah it was a real revelation recently to notice that two of his seemingly most sincerely-held but obviously incorrect beliefs - that crime is out of control and that Russia is a great power - actually do fit the world of the late 1980s.
It kinda sucks to be honest. But it sucks in exactly the same way every consultant-driven minimalist rebrand of the past decade sucks.
Seems like it was a bad decision when we decided the 4th Amendment doesn't apply within 100 miles of the border (i.e., like 90% of the country by population and every single large city save Denver.)
That's what the whole Smithsonian African American museum was!
It’s extremely frustrating that the last popular president in American history is not doing more, but this is good.
Also you can work 12.5 hours a day and also sleep normally. What was he doing the rest of the day?
When we were this age, people who wanted to make as much money as possible at 22 and also sleep three hours a night just became investment bankers. at least they didn’t feel the need to write about it.
I saw this and thought it was like qualifying or something. Then I saw four people I’ve heard of Ashe. Doesn’t every other tournament do it simultaneously with the singles? Also weren’t these people in Cincinnati like two days ago, when did the whole tournament happen?
I think this is probably right, but it is very weird that the speech and debate clause isn’t cited.
Do you mean in New York? Cambridge MA city council (all seats at large) does (election is nonpartisan but obviously all of the candidates are dems). I find it the worst possible office to do it for because it’s rank 8 of 20 which requires an insane amount of research.
Inventing a time machine to kill Baby Clippy
They keep talking about making it “safe for tourists” but I was planning on visiting this fall and spending money on restaurants and hotels and now there’s no way if the guard is still there. Of course killing the economy (and general vibes) of a blue city is a feature not a bug for them.
It’s so disappointing that “with malice toward none and charity toward all” gets stripped out of that speech and paraded around decontextualized. (Although hardly unique, you could say the same about “content of their character” or 100 different passages from the Gospels)
Obviously most of this is just gutter racism, but there’s also something recent of the VOA story here, dismantling what is mostly nationalist propaganda because they’re too dumb to get it.
Didn’t this movement used to be about the (laudable) idea that it’s better to use your charity money to buy malaria nets for children in Africa than a new library for an already-rich university?
The little butterfly kick is such a classic hanging-on-for-dear-life move
Me when I’m bombing the Presidential Fitness Test in fifth grade.
It’s also incomprehensible from even a realpolitik standpoint. Every country there is richer and more powerful than Russia. It’s only understandable if a) he has a personal affinity for Putin or b) his brain stopped working in the 80s so he still thinks Russia is a great power. Unfortunately both
The only good thing they can ever come up with that RFK does is the same thing they called Michelle Obama a communist for trying.
Mmmm, I see this was not as novel of a point to make as I thought it was.
This is really a new application of the same principle they have failed to understand for 25 years of those "look how much red there is" maps of domestic elections.
I went into Touchdowns underage, had my friend buy me a drink and tried to drink it at the urinal, at which time I was removed.
Isn't there some survivorship bias here? The Blue Dogs all represent 50/50 or even lean-red districts. If they are in Congress they are over-performers by definition.
