This is a whole thing for the right, "The Democrats want you to be ashamed"

Shame is good sometimes! Without it you wind up with the likes of George Santos. But it can turn people off
I feel like he was often wrong but wrong in interesting ways
De gustibus, but dissembling a bit, reluctantly admitting that he should have cleaned it up before, and promising to do so now seems like a pretty human response

If people don't want to vote for that, they don't have to, but the Democratic shame spiral is how we got the likes of Charlie Kirk
it all ends up in the same place; having Janet Mills get crushed by Susan Collins
If we want to be open to vets, it’s not going to be just nice young people who did a JAG stint after their Ivy law degree; many of the vets with combat service have histories with rough edges

If you want to write off anyone who worked for or alongside Blackwater, that’s a long list
I don’t disagree but Dems will never build a durable majority with elderly apple-polishers
I think they have an open mike Tuesdays
On the plus side, I understand that they really listen
This is probably the least important thing about all this but if the US government were to seriously undertake reconstruction work on the White House I can only imagine the level of security required to make sure the building wasn't filled with bugs

I have no confidence any of that is being done
Terrible op sec, that guy looks just like Will Stancil

George Santos, member of the Beatles and survivor of the Challenger disaster, is finally going free 🔥
There is a mention in The Great Gatsby of a Mrs. Sigourney Howard; young Susan Weaver picked that name for her stage name
I would like for people who come to the defense of very old politicians to have to disclose how old their parents are

If you have 80+ parents you will think differently about it
I have a last name that could never be a first name, and I am increasingly getting texts and emails which rely on a mailing list that has reversed them

"Hey Mxyzptlk, I wanted to text you about stopping Donald Trump ..."
where your strategy becomes thinking about what kind of mood the Wordle editor might be in
HULK SMASH BUT FIRST HULK MAKE LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month
It’s a trick question because Trump doesn’t actually consider anyone his friend
not fair to hardworking deadbeats like me
Hey pal why do you need to know the weather in so many places, it raises questions
“That’s it, we’re cancelling the Herring category”
Serves you right for not being a brain in a jar with a PACER account
Shame on Mark for owning such a delicious car
"It is critically important to the future of humanity that we form a broad coalition to defeat Trump, but please note that I would rather strangle my grandmother than follow someone who follows Jonathan Chait on the twelfth-most-important social media platform"
