This guy might be the most bloodless, consultant class brained politician in congress. A real dark comedy that he’s also the opposition leader.

Interestingly this is exactly what C. Dif looks like under a microscope.
I grew up in an older midwestern neighborhood and often walked with a group to school. My siblings moved further afield in the same city and as parents have had to deal with this car pickup situation. That childhood neighborhood seems great to me (now in NY) but people there don’t want it.
Legit the most helpful money Harris could have spent would have helpful explainers on how a calendar works.
He’s going to keep getting further into the weeds: “Very disappointed in JT’s Babes, Beers and Bail Money. MAGA legend Lenny “nails” Dykstra was recently charged for apps he couldn’t finish. He was asked to leave after throwing up on waitress (he denies!!) but cc still charged!! FULL REFUND!”
A classic! He’s a HoF self-owning tweeter
They want to hedge becasue removing the hedge word suggests they stand for something. There's lots of signs NYT is broken but for me when an editor inserted in a line that hedged drinking bleach in 2020 as a covid treatment cause Trump said so that showed how broken they are.
It is so weird when people use the internet to confess their most embarrassing secrets like, “I’m too dumb to buy bread I like.”
Current NY state law blocks pharmacies from dispensing vaccines (including the COVID vaccine) without a prescription, unless RFJ Jr.'s handpicked vaccine advisory council signs off. But state Sen. @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social has proposed a bill to fix that: www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...
I keep reading it hoping that I got wrong the first time.
Tfw when you have helped fuck up as many people as you can and want to go out at the top of your game.
Eating my government mandated scoop of horse paste and washing it down with raw milk, violently shitting everywhere as I cover myself in beef tallow before my shift at the collectivist farm starts. “So good to be free I think. Thank god I don’t have to remember anyone’s pronouns.”
It is amazing how straightforward he is about what he believes. 85% of the time when other candidates answer a question it is done in a way that makes sure no one can be sure of what they just said.

This isn’t the old horse tradin’ your votes days. They got absolutely nothing in return for singing off on these guys. Imo it is impossible to deny that a vote for the minions is a vote for the agenda.
Going to fire up the banana leaf loincloth and cane look tonight. We’ll see how it goes. If I never post again then it didn’t go well.
I cannot stand the sound of a keyboard in movies/show because I have a Pavlovian reaction that something insanely stupid is about to happen
Orlando Hernandez used to throw an eephus that locked people up…once
Big win for Sean O'Brien, congrats Teamsters
This is just bullshit actually. Just one example is the democratic South Korea of today is the result of massive mobilization against a military backed president in the 1980s simply naming his successor but eventually being forced to hold elections.
WE CUT CHILD POVERTY IN HALF WITH THE STROKE OF A PEN
It seems like a service they offer
💯 Throw away your soulless Blue Rose metrics and simply speak the truth.
Right it isn’t but the management has far deeper dedication to the appearance of being non partisan than it does to being a good newspaper.
Don’t worry ship’s passengers, the iceberg is just a distraction.
The Democratic Party spends millions of dollars to hear from the consultant class that having a clear understanding of right/ wrong and a value system of any kind is politically toxic so we get these clueless displays. I’m sure leadership congratulated her for staying on message tho.
“I’m not saying it is not a tragedy but, fuck them kids.” Jfc what do these people say when it is not going to be published?

“The drag queens made their defiant march through the Kennedy Center to find their seats near the stage. The right-wing gay men glared and shook their heads.” I MUST BECOME A MENACE TO MY ENEMIES.
A far more unsettling question for our times is why the media is such credulous cheerleaders for bullshit.
me playing it
This was always dumb as rocks but it is particularly perfect that he thinks of others having an overly polarized view and would never recognize his own hopeless misunderstanding of basically everything.
Cannot be emphasized enough that anti-housing NIMBYs in places like California and New York are objectively working to support a durable MAGA hold on Congress and the presidency.
Yeah but you have to tell him that his opinions are good and make sense
This Louisiana prisoner — & 1,000+ others like him — remain in prison despite split jury convictions that SCOTUS has ruled unconstitutional. MUST READ @richardawebster.bsky.social’s latest in his series about Gov. Jeff Landry’s criminal justice rollbacks www.propublica.org/article/loui...
This new publication for "the left" is funded by $4 million from people and groups associated with Peter Thiel, Mercatus, Abundance, and Third Way Tom Scocca and I raged about this and related matters at @flaminghydra.com flaminghydra.com/issue-386/
Going to play golf with the big man and bringing along a bag of cash so after his record breaking round he will ‘truth’ about my best posts not getting enough likes. Something should be done!
Oh you didn’t know that to be excited and earnest about something is lame and one must project cynical loser energy at all times?

This is the malignant and seemingly constant pressure inside the Dem machine, a competition for messaging influence over anything else.
So much of tech seems aimed at trying to get the people creating it praise they feel they are due. The fantasy, “I’ll look like a genius!” scenario except obviously anyone wearing a device that feeds them answers to everything will look like anything but a “genius”
#Middlemarch “He has got no good red blood in his body," said Sir James. "No. Somebody put a drop under a magnifying-glass, and it was all semicolons and parenthesis," said Mrs. Cadwallader.
No one who believes a “significant” number of democrats use language like this will read an actual analysis of the subject because they are too in love with the fantasy that they have been served by the right and its centrists lovers.
Have you read the only piece of actual analysis on this subject? dcinboxinsights.substack.com/p/was-it-som...

Yes a tax passed by a representative congress and signed by a president is the same thing as a personal damand from a president because he doesn’t like the ethnicity of a ceo. In other news I’ve recently replaced my brain with an Orange Julius shake I found in the trash can of an abandoned mall.
Almost sure this dude somehow gets paid by how often you have to re read his sentences just to get the gist. You could insult AI drivel by accusing it of being a TCW paragraph.
Convinced that one of the things that bugs the larger establishment about Zohran is the creativity and energy he brings to the show. This should be how you *have* to do it now and not everyone can hack it.
I mean it really should not be! @nytimes.com somehow manages to clown itself further every few days.
🌲 There is just no lunacy based framing they don’t adopt
Keep thinking about how the folks @nytimes.com had seen for weeks that the Adams campaign was doling out cash but had to wait for a real reporter to discover it before they could talk about it.
I had a vague country western song in mind but I’m sure there is a Juggalos out there that would be better
Are they operating on the singing sponge things in the montage because “they got a pepper bar” would be pretty poignant as they flatline
“I know guy seems creepy at first, honestly I thought that at first, but spend 15 minutes alone with him and you’ll see what I’m talking about. He’s actually amazing!”
America needs a barrel and a cracker Right there on the sign How else can we find our savior and his biscuits? Oh my god I like to whine
I'm so sad They changed the logo Of the place where I found my home And if I can't see cracker and the barrel I guess I'll have to roam 'Cause I gave my life to Christ In the Cracker Barrel Parking lot But now the logo is different Lord, America has lost the plot
Definitely. I accident start to do that every time I read the phrase
Tbf “I gave my life to Christ in the Cracker Barrel parking lot” is definitely speaking to somebody out there.
Seriously this is “nyc has fallen” territory. $75k in bribes to steer vendor contracts is 2nd biggest city in Nebraska (no shade) money. If I’m paying bribes in The Show I wouldn’t believe you have any juice at all if you’re asking for this little.
I contributed to this PBS feature about a newly released trove of home recordings made by Woody Guthrie in his family apartment on Mermaid Ave in 1951-52. Woody sings about historic events, stories of the disenfranchised, love, and of course, the fight against fascism. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...
For a limited time, you can try out three months of Defector blogs for less than the price of a happy hour pint. I hope you will do it, because I think the blogs are good and the more people that subscribe the more we can hire. defector.com/defector-is-...
Convinced that brand naming consultants initially choose the worst possible name, cash the check and wait 6 months for the inevitable rebrand.

Did interview where Obama said ketchup was only for children start this?
The internet is so broken, it just told me that, “see ya wouldn't want to be ya” was popularized by Micheal Kay and not that kid Daryl in middle school.
It makes me feel like a Boomer to be confused that people don’t understand this intuitively. I started learning guitar at the same time a friend of mine did and in a year he was 100 times better than me in part because he LOVED playing constantly in a way I didn’t. It was his thing!
Showing AI slop angels that know no political boundaries is so woke.
Guy who doesn’t live in nyc unfamiliar with its (admittedly) mercurial ways
#Middlemarch doesn’t miss: “I don’t see how a man is to be good for much unless he has some one womayn to love him dearly.” “I think the goodness should come before he expects that.”
#Middlemarch “It had already occurred to him that books were stuff and life was stupid.”
Similar thing for me but I’m happy to have gone back to these books and find that so many things of “their time” are also exactly of ours. I make “banger lines/thoughts” and the ones for these books are just packed.
For a while I looked at the various titans of lit as washed out of a duty to tear it all down but actually a lot of shit said to be foundational really is so good. Currently randomly posting hot shit from Middlemarch which is so sharp imo
#Middlemarch “All choice of words is slang. It marks a class.” “There is correct English: that is not slang.” “I beg your pardon: correct English is the slang of prigs who write history and essays. And the strongest slang of all is the slang of poets.”
“If only you let us elevate someone who believed in a lawless president then we wouldn’t have to be so lawless now.”
Even the non maga republicans only real belief is that “democrats are responsible for our shittiness.” It is comically brain dead to believe that “bork drama” paved the way for shit but that Bork himself, as a Supreme Court Justice, would not have.
Yeah the tv press loves Trump because he gives them *something* to talk about it. The image of bored soldier wandering the national mall while your talking head goons yap is 100x better than having to report on anything real.
Hard to resolve the conservative vision of themselves as self made great men with their abiding belief that the left made them who they are.
Jeezus no one has ever “won the divorce” more conclusively than his ex wife
Waiting for the prestigious Harding/Hoover school of economic thought to step up
Saw a kid do a wheelie and, still shaking in terror, I managed to dial the ambient social disorder hotline.
My “maybe people pushing the worst ideas in human history need to be heard” editorial policy is raising a lot of questions already answered by my editorial policy.
The answers to this question are 100% dependent on how it is asked.
I have uploaded The divorce pdfs That were on My computer And which My ai gf Saved For the police profile Forgive me My life is bleak So sad And so fucking funny
Missing the forest fire for a leaf.
There is no end to the toxic centrist belief that any candidate that inspires anyone must be a danger to everyone else.
Captain America is gonna be so conflicted
Revisiting Walden for the first time in forever and amused at what a absolute Hater Thoreau is
A wildly corrosive part of trumpism is that it makes everyone worse people because how can you have sympathy for who is incapable of showing it for others? Also, 80% of these videos are followed up with “I would still never vote of a democrat because a trans kids in nyc might get to do sports”
"No taxation without representation except in the very seat of government” is too dumb a thing to make up
I’ve taken the keys from friends who *maybe* had a little too much to drink with more moral clarity than this.
Sorry counselor but your obviously rich understanding of the law is falling short here. Even if you are a “legal” American you do not have the right to do “whatever you want”
So you don’t have answer. No one in the history of America has ever exploited America more than Donald Trump and he’s here legally. Congrats on helping to further his agenda with your whining victimhood.
His delusions of grander pale in comparison to rham’s but for some reason they are just as embarrassing.
Why not?
A 2 picture storyteller for sure.
That’s a bridge too far for them. One thing the power structure has eternally agreed on is that the kids have to be shown the door even when they are invariably proven correct. Instead they will argue that if only the kids had been behaving the politicians would have come to the truth sooner.
Companies routinely go all in on technology that they ultimately end up walking back.
Noting when people give you the high hat should also be a thing
