The key principle is not "Never complain about election procedures." The key principle is "Election procedures should be fair." This means:
1) not attacking fair elections and
2) criticizing when there are real election irregularities.
Politicians should consistently advocate for fair elections.
get a load of this line of questioning from CBS's Margaret Brennan to Hakeem Jeffries aimed at bothsidesing election denial and gerrymandering

My big takeaway from Trump's lengthy Air Force One gaggle is that he's talking about shredding the Constitution by being in office for a third term increasingly openly.

If you don't think he try it, you're in denial.
Trump on a third term: "I would love to do it. I have the best numbers ever. Am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell me."

I'm a fight choreography girlie at heart. I love a bit of the old ultraviolence in Kingsman and Kick-Ass, and I love it in Deadpool too. Give me all the guns and blades and Adamantium-skeletons-as-weapons!

Yes, typically asbestos filled structures are demolished in a few days with no mitigation measures and dumped by a golf course under a mesothelioma cloud.
WELKER: Why didn't the president tell the public he was going to tear down the entire East Wing, which as you know is part of the people's house?

BESSENT: Well, I think this was a judgment call on the president. The president is a master builder. It could've been asbestos. It could've been mold.

I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?

The banter offers a few more facts about Griffin than about the other digger, Michaels—chiefly, that he's a relatively new dad. The small details give us a snapshot of Griffin, while the tone and tenor of Joel Fry’s performance adds texture. It's sort of gently funny and quietly grounded 3/3
I still liked it, though. The vibe is a bit reminiscent of Shakespearian grave diggers, or maybe Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Watching the two men dig and talk, there’s some softly pleasant humor as they misunderstand each other, and they hint a little at the philosophical of the mundane 2/
Griffin, Diggers

This is an odd little short, more about mood/notion than tangible story. It’s also the shortest one I’ve watched so far, clocking in around six-and-a-half-minutes. Basically, two men walk into the woods to dig a hole, discussing their lives as they work 1/

Mike Johnson is now pretending that it's Rep-Elect Grijalva who is not doing her job, when he's the one shirking his duties.

And even *he* knows this is bullshit. He corrects himself to call her "Rep-Elect" not "Rep" because he actually understands there's a very important difference.
Mike Johnson: "Rep. Grijalva can work -- Rep.-elect Grijalva can work for her constituents right now. Constituent services, answering the phones, she has computers and 16 employees and there's no excuse for it. The Epstein files are being released."

See the issue is that Trump ran on releasing on the Epstein files, and Bondi said she had them sitting on her desk ready to go, and then Elon Musk tweeted that Trump was in them and they were suddenly deemed a hoax and Ghislaine was moved to a spa prison, so you can understand the fresh intrigue
Mike Johnson: "Suddenly now, they've somehow convinced themselves that the Epstein files will be damaging to President Trump and Republicans in some way that they've imagined, and so they feign outrage."
I adore him too! 🥰 Yes, I love this piece, ylissebian is so talented. I’m very in favor of artists capturing Frenchie’s delightful habit of crouching/perching on things
Most of my Our Flag Means Death fanart collection is Ed and Stede, separately or together, but more recently, I've been getting more crew stuff. Especially Frenchie, obviously! This very cute print is from ylissebian--happy Ace Week! 🖤🤍💜

I know we've gotten jaded to this, but his utter lack of empathy still shocks. 50,000 people is mentioned only in comparison to 1,200 and is written off because they will be replaced with younger people? He talks about people they way a beef processor talks about cattle.
Trump: "Israel can say that 'we killed 50,000' and so you'd say it's a whole net set of people. And it is. They get replaced by other people. Young people."
Oh my god, his gross little laugh when he says Gaza is “nothing but rubble, so it’s not too hard to top that”
BARTIROMO: You said you wanted to develop Gaza. Do you have plans for that?

TRUMP: I liked it as, like, freedom place you call it. And we would get all of the people that live there into decent homes throughout the region. Egypt has a lot of land, Jordan has a lot of land.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”
Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.
Martin doesn’t have wilderness skills, survival skills, or street smarts. But he’s here, he’s trying, and he doesn’t want to die. And, wonderfully, he also really wants to be there for Alma in the way that she’s there for him. Joel Fry's dynamic with Ellora Torchia is excellent throughout 4/4
Alma is hyper competent and half Martin’s size, and she’s determined to get him through this safely. Martin is my hurt/comfort babygirl who's having the worst week of his life, even before all the creepy, trippy stuff really gets started. My man is not equipped to handle any of this 3/
It's a There's Something Strange in the Woods story, where scientist Martin and park guide Alma get more than they bargained for while running supplies to one of his colleagues at a remote research camp. If not for Martin and Alma, the film probably wouldn't stick with me, but I adore them both 2/
Martin Lowery, In the Earth

This science-meets-religion folklore horror film is wild, and I still don’t know what to make of it. It’s interesting, brutal, and trippy. But I found myself with oodles of affection for the two main characters, and Joel Fry is fantastic in it! 1/

As you may have noticed, white supremacists want to stop the influx of hardworking young people (aka immigration) while somehow forcing white women to have lots more babies to compensate, but they refuse to make having kids more affordable and less arduous an experience.
RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

Somehow it's only "demonizing half of the country" when Democrats mildly criticize Trump supporters. This just doesn't count

I too don't want anyone taking medical advice from RFK, but guess who voted to confirm him as the person people should take medical advice from.
