Trump had a better chance at the Heisman than he did this Nobel Peace Prize he so pathetically begged for. Hard to find a human less fit for that kind of honor, he’s its antithesis. If his pressure campaign had worked, the value of that award woulda been tanked forever. I think they understood that.

And one more thing. Anyone who publicly begs for, and publicly demands, the Nobel Peace Prize should never be given the Nobel Peace Prize.

Do they have a prize for blowing up boats in the Caribbean and then bragging that people who made their livelihood fishing there for generations are now afraid to go out on the water?

You cannot be considered the best country (or best anything) if you’re in any way, shape or form led or influenced by the likes of this f’ing guy.

Sorry, them’s the rules…

IMO the fake Christian takeover of RW politics was sealed w/ the obsession w/ imagined superiority over “other.” “Illegals” are just people. “Illegal aliens”…more baldly dehumanizing “other.” Would Jesus call them any of that? Of course not. In the end, MAGA politics is based on the opposite of WWJD

I’d say there’s a 99% chance Trump clicked on a YouTube classic trailer for Escape from LA and thought it was a live feed from Portland.

If you have a problem w/ US government budgetary waste now, imagine it after years of countless slam-dunk citizen lawsuits against the Trump government for their lawless, brutality just overtly denying basic civil, constitutional rights. Trump doesn’t give a shit obviously—he won’t be payin the bill

Being the best country w/ the best police & military & all that is tied to having legions of highly-educated officers, soldiers & federal agents from higher ed institutions & academies—highly-trained to do a pro’s job. Not Jan 6 hardo retreads for 💰 to show up, mask up & play soldier vs US citizens.

Is there another 🌎 leader who constantly talks about his own past election long after its completion? The current pudding-soft POTUS can’t speak w/out dropping a hugely insecure boast-lie-whine about a past vote, candidate or [whatever] slipping from his peabrain.

Other leaders dgaf, nobody does

The fascist BS of threatening the arrest of politicians aside, dum-dum perpetuates this idiotic idea of a never-ending protection loop. Buildings need police protection. Then the police & buildings need troops to double the protection. Then the state must protect the protectors, somehow. Then the…🙄

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

I wrote this five years ago, and as I cover what is probably going to be my last game in Highmark Stadium, this feels appropriate.

Reasons I loved covering games in Buffalo

The Patriots are in Buffalo this weekend. I covered roughly a dozen Patriots-Bills games in Orchard Park. Here’s what I really liked about it: There’s an old-school vibe to the press box. I love it...

The right flips the fuk out about a penny of theirs possibly going towards the care of a tax-paying brown person in an ER, but will blink right thru letting 2/3rds of the population—that, like adults, didn’t vote for dummy’s childlike tariff self-harm—to pick up the bill.

Fastest way to fix haphazard populist authoritarian cult voting is to make those voters separately financially liable for Trump’s damage. If a tax system is nimble enough to exempt for corporate lunch tabs, it should be nimble enough to exempt from a soybean whoopsie tariffs bailout. Let MAGA pay.
