I was still in high school during his last term and nowhere near what anyone would consider politically engaged and even I knew that Reagan and the trickle-downers were rabidly anti-tariff.
Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

The more evidence mounts that Platner is lying, the more convinced I become that he is lying not only about his past but also about his current views.
CNN confirms that multiple sources suggest Graham Platner knew his tattoo was a Nazi symbol years prior to launching his campaign — and is now blatantly lying about it.

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

Find a principle and stick to it. That’s my advice. Find a principle you won’t have to abandon because the politician with whom you’re in a very committed parasocial relationship said something dumb again

You know what is a weird thing I miss about regular TV seasons?

Obligatory seasonal holiday episodes.

Like, no one dropping 8 episodes in July is going to give you an unhinged Halloween ep, a totally inappropriate murder on Christmas ep, and probably some weird Valentine's Day nonsense.

Maybe he just really wanted to be First Lady--redecorating the White House, hosting lavish parties for dignitaries, and looking pretty on camera.

I’ve rediscovered the joy of cinnamon toast. A nice whole grain bread. Some kerrygold. And a smattering of sugar and cinnamon.

Live the dream with me.
Nothing has convinced me that Platner should go no further more than having Matt Yglesias say otherwise.
Canada’s had enough of the bullshit and decided to take the gloves off. Good. Keep at it! 🇨🇦
Angus: Canada is reconsidering that relationship with China. Why? Because we can no longer trust the US.

And we know that we have 150, maybe more, Canadians in custody at ICE detention centers. We had two Canadians under Chinese custody and it caused a huge outcry. We now have over 150 in the US.

Since the Bluesky team is bigoted against Link, he is unable to conduct Mutual Fund Friday, and so in his absence we must do it for him. SNAP benefits disappearing means a LOT of people mightily struggling. So can we try?? :)

I just realized two things:

1) I always seem to know who the mayor of New York City is but seldom know who the governor of the State of New York is.

2) I always seem know who the governor of California is but seldom know who the mayor of Los Angeles is.

Friends, do not sleep on this!

It is an incredible cover/altered version of Jolene. This singer's voice is phenomenal, and the new lyrics are perfect for spooky season.

You guys the comrades on here are anxious to let you know they don’t care about the White House AT ALL because they are not privileged like you. Meanwhile their friend is like “pfft hold my beer, I am so advanced I am indifferent to 9/11. Top that, bitches.”
