This is never going away, is it?

You would learn a lot about tricky pronunciations by reading "The Chaos" out loud and paying attention to the rhymes. The Chaos - Gerard Nolst Trenité share.google/6xLYVFpE9irx...
Rhymes with "lawyer" and always will, for me.
I grew up in NYC and "foyer" has always rhymed with "lawyer".
“Many people feel like 27 amendments are a lot. We have a plan to right-size the American Constitution” by Ross Douthat, Bretttttt Stephens, and Thomas Chatterwanker Whogivesafuck
Yes please.
I guess assault with a deli weapon isn't an indictable offense. Chew on that for a minute.
TPM had the best pun: "assault with a deli weapon".
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

I guess he's given up on the Nobel Peace Prize and is going for the Nobel War Prize, which he'll happily share with Netanyahu and Putin.

Steve Shirley escaped the Holocaust as a child & went on to found one of the earliest software startups. The really impressive part? She employed women programmers who had been pushed out of the workforce after having kids, & allowed them flexible, family friendly, work from home jobs—in the 1960s!
He apparently seems to think the victors divvying up the spoils at Yalta was a negotiated end to WWII in Europe, and meetings between the White House, DoD, and the Manhattan Project were a negotiated end to WWII in the Pacific.
Wait, I thought he was on vacation in England with his family. In the Cotswolds, specifically. So the VP takes serial vacations with his family?
They will need to design a new logo to really amp up the vibe. Every government website will need to display the new hooked-cross logo prominently.
I thought a prosecutor could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, but I guess a sandwich thrower is a tougher case.
She doesn't enforce DC law; she's the USAttorney and is supposed to enforce federal law. She doesn't enforce speed limits or littering laws, either. This is a distraction.
It's not involuntary servitude. They agreed to work as slaves instead of being exported to Rwanda. Totes voluntary.
When Ronald Reagan stepped down from the Presidency in 1989, he was 78, the same age as Donald Trump is now. While he may have been undergoing the onset of Alzheimer's Disease, he was alert and coherent, clearly understanding what America is all about and committed to it. Trump isn't any of that.
The USA is, at its foundation, woke. We believe in freedom and equality for all, including overcoming preexisting inequalities and servitudes, even if it takes too long. As MLKJr said, “The Arc of the Moral Universe is Long, But it Bends Toward Justice.” Trump's anti-woke campaign is anti-American.

I'm an American who makes up America. I come from English, Irish, and German immigrants who came to America in the 18th and 19th century, who were Calvinists, Catholics, and Presbyterians. While I am an atheist, I subscribe to the Sermon on the Mount and the Golden Rule, so I'm woke. USA=wokeness.
She should sue for false arrest.
"Land swap" doesn't mean one side gives up land and the other side keeps all of theirs.
The English spell initialized acronyms that get pronounced as a word, rather than letters, with an initial cap and the rest in lower case, as in Nato. Thus Ice. They're weird, like the NYT insisting on putting periods in F.B.I. or H.H.S. or I.C.E.
What brand of foreign cars do they sell at the White House? That's what ginormous American flags mean.
An invaded nation can always end the war quickly by conceding. That's not a choice.
I got a gmail account with my actual name back in the beta. Now every person with my first and last names ends up being addressed by car dealers, walmart, insurers, etc. at my damn email address. I should have gone with xz76tyeI87q at gmail.
Not trump. Fingers too big, gut too small.
They coulda worked in fraud as one of the things he's often pardoned people for after getting paid off....
NO, he should wear a sweatshirt with "CCCP" in red letters, all crossed out with Blue and Yellow "УКРАЇНА".

Made me laugh.🤣
The sandwich was from Subway, so it was a soft roll. If the sandwich had been from a NY deli it would have been a hard roll, and while that might be enough to make it a crime with the prospect of hard time, both the sandwich and the thrower would be HEROs.
Then they need to move their occupation troops to West Virginia or Florida.
Yes, but he's been accused of assault with a DELI weapon 😁
My Hero.
I'm all for the Hero heroes.
The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?
holy shit this is a helluva ad from the Democrat running against Joni Ernst in Iowa. worth every second
If this had happened in NYC, this guy would be a hero with a hero!
I guess they want to exchange Ukraine for Alaska.
The New York Times uses the word “maximalist” because it’s afraid to use the word “dictatorship.”
Maybe one or more of the 3 women liberals will need to take a lot of time to write a dissent, slowing up the release of the decision.
#ReleaseTheCuomoList
But there was a 100% rise in carjackings against BigBalls!
So is Trump going to take responsibility for paying the DC police he has commandeered, and give them federal employment benefits? Since Congress hasn't authorized funds for this, it would have to come out of the White House budget, I guess.
I don't believe there are any homeless encampments on the route between the White House and the Trump International golf course in Virginia.
TACO
He still doesn't know the difference between rent-controlled and rent-stabilized. What a douche.
They are having AI make up "evidence" about Dems to put in wherever Trump's name has been erased. The Democrat hoax was the Trump mentions; once those have been replaced by truth AI innuendo, it's no longer a "hoax."
So a press conference is going to "essentially stop crime" in DC???
Trump's gonna offer Putin a chance to get Alaska back. It cost $7.2 million back in 1867. The current equivalent value is $156,388,378.38, according to www.in2013dollars.com/us/inflation.... What will that buy Trump in Ukraine?
Obviously next step is to declare the no-bill evidence of a rigged DC grand jury.
Looks like DJT was inspired by the tacky gold ornamentation at Jeffrey Epstein's place: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co...
I mean an 1100% rebate.
So is that ginormous ballroom going to go where the paved-over rose garden was? And why the fuck does the President of a democratic republic need a ginormous ballroom?
What in the name of fuckity fuck does this mean -- reducing drug prices 1200% or whatever? Are we going to get an 100% rebate on what we pay for drugs????
So apparently the makers of forever chemicals now are on notice that when this rule goes into effect they should immediately dump all of that shit into our water supplies before a court stays it.
He's only doing this because Putin, and his henchman Medvedev, have repeatedly threatened pushing the red button. We can only hope that he, like they, are only bullying.
So is he going to appoint Ann Coulter or Maria Bartiromo the commissioner of BLS?
Motherfucking wind farms…
It appears that the Secretary of Transportation has stolen the Fearless Leader's bronzing cream and actually knows how to apply it.
He seems to have been pissed that Epstein was dipping his clients' pens in the Trump company inkwell.
But he didn't call her "low IQ" because she's not black.
Jim Justice's campaign PAC will buy a bunch of copies to send to a landfill to pay for the Senate seat Manchin vacated.
It's all bullshit for a single day's Fox News headline. There's no policy, not even a thought to policy, to making things better for all of the parties to a trade agreement than without it (I can't bring myself to call it a "deal." This man has no idea what a "deal" is.).
Clinton was on the flight logs that have been released 28 times, but I don't believe those logs say he went to Pedo Island 28 times, just that he flew 28 times.
We'll probably spend another half-billion decommissioning the damn plane, removing all the secure communications gear etc. before it can be turned over to the Trump Sharpie "library". With any luck, the plane may see a few flights to and from Trump golf courses as Air Force One before it's retired.
This proves five things: 1. The protests in LA were peaceful 2. The National Guard and Marines were unnecessary 3. ICE officers lie 4. DHS stats on ICE agent assaults are overblown 5. You can not, in fact, indict a ham sandwich if you have no case www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
From @nytopinion.nytimes.com “There is no excuse for the world to stand by and watch two million human beings suffer on the brink of full-blown famine,” the chef José Andrés writes about Gaza.
As far as Texas is concerned that is probably true. From Trump's perspective, however, it's not simply racist, it's just a matter of R votes in the House. He may be racist, but he's perfectly willing to have a Black Republican voting with the party.
Just wait, the bride is going to ask the bridesmaids to contribute to cover the cost of the reception!
I'm sure he was just reviewing the porn tapes to make certain they were inappropriate.
TRUMP JULY 15: "A very quick briefing, yeah." TRUMP JULY 25: "No, I was never briefed. No."

Notice: Would somebody explain to Americans exactly why the taxpayers are paying for Trump to inspect his Scottish resort? Start with exactly what governmental business he will be accomplishing with the Scottish Parliament.
If you believe all human beings are created b’tzelem Elohim, in God’s image, then you must speak up now against the daily atrocities in Gaza. www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...
The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...
Only if they are convicted of a crime, as punishment.
I forgot to mention debtors' prisons, as pointed out in the reply by @disorderlybrdrline.bsky.social .
Poorhouses, almshouses, and asylums have been tried before and (a) don't solve the problems they are aimed at; and (b) cost much more than providing a reasonable safety net.
It's been taken down.
But we need to keep pointing out that the most important thing about the "Russia Russia Russia Hoax" is that DJT was Epstein's bestie.

if JD doesn't seize the moment when it arrives and pull off his (effective) coup, Murdoch will call off the WSJ dogs and make nice to Herr Trump. 2/2
Yes, and Murdoch is clearly letting the reporters do this. But why just the WSJ, while Fox News, Fox Business, and the NYP still support Trump? I suspect Murdoch is giving Vance an opportunity to make a break of one sort or another, and that if he does the Murdoch press will fall in line. But, 🧵1/2
The speaker's aversion to political gamesmanship is legend.

The quickest U-turn in Supreme Court history followed a court opinion used to justify actual violence on American streets.
This wasn't just a sex trafficking ring. It was a child rape ring.
Haven't the flight logs already been made public? We know, for example, that Trump and Dershowitz were both on the flight logs.
