I love the Dodgers but I hate this.
Reader, epicurean, idealist, joker. Probably listening to Wilco or Radiohead or Bruce or Fleetwood Mac right now. Or watching a Dodgers game. Hoping to stave off the end of the American experiment.

That statement sounds like the beginning of capitulation.

I picked a hell of a day to start our local Little league fundraising campaign...

So why do this, Joe? There has to be a reason and that reason has to be around Trump and his cronies making money.

We could've just taxed the rich.

Just sheer madness.

I think psychologically it's the only way to handle actively working against poor/middle class/working families. You have to learn to hate them to take everything from them.

He's like Mitch McConnell's John Barasso.

Honestly I'm shocked the Dow has *only* lost 3% so far today. Then again, Tesla was up yesterday after sales plummeted, so what do I know?

I voted for Hillary, Joe and Kamala.

WOW #Dodgers

At least he's well dressed? Ready for his own funeral?

Absolutely nothing, obviously...

There isn't an eye-roll emoji big enough for this.

Crazy how well it works on so so many people.

Jesus, who is dumb enough to keep eating this bullshit?

God someday I hope there's justice for these smug pricks. Some moment of reckoning when they realize they were always just dumb assholes and wrong about everything. That little cackle by Gutfeld at the end just makes me cringe.

"Tesla's"

I just laughed out loud...
Chris Jervey (@thejerver.bsky.social) reply parent
I do. But I'd still like to highlight heroism of all sorts when I see it, whether that's saving democracy or just showing up for your kids!

You already are.

Welcome to undefined status. I am a progressive and almost always vote blue, but I am tired of politics as if it's the Red Sox versus the Yankees. Too much of our national divide has been caused by team affiliation.

I think there’s a legitimate debate to be had about how much education policy should be framed in Washington. But that’s not what’s going on here, and we shouldn’t let them pretend like it is. What’s going on is a corrupt dismantling of the government in defiance of Congress.

Yup. End of empire level dumb.

"Will you move swiftly to remove" is a nice tangle. This letter is so dumb it hurts.
Chris Jervey (@thejerver.bsky.social) reply parent
This is like a debate between Pete Buttigieg (Treanor) and Ben Shapiro (Martin). One is clearly intellectually superior and the other is an erstaz commentator engaging in unserious dialogue. We live in such a dumb era.

And how do we know it's a smoke screen? Because they keep saying those same three words, everywhere and all the time. Every talk show, every press conference, every hearing. It is a concerted effort from leadership to get us thinking they are doing something good instead of something very wrong.

We're the richest country in the history of the world. We can have affordable/free health care and great public education and we can help countries in need. But somehow we're here, screaming at one another while billionaires become mega-billionaires. Such a tragedy.
Chris Jervey (@thejerver.bsky.social)
It still blows my mind how good the plutocracy and corporate media are at pitting us against each other so they can hoard even greater wealth. And we keep falling for it. Most of us should be united to ensure the wealthy pay their fair share; it's the clearest way to help our neighbors and allies.

Shocker...
