I know this feels impossible now, but I swear, on January 6 itself, there was a pretty broad bipartisan consensus that storming the Capitol to find and kill lawmakers was bad, and that Trump was responsible for inciting his followers to try it

If you have to remind people “we are the good guys” that’s a pretty good sign you’ve stopped doing good guy stuff

I love listening to hockey bros excitedly recapping Heated Rivalry but it's very funny how many emotional moments they significantly misinterpret.

Literally everything I do feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Makes it hard to be creative or find joy.
Except filing for Irish citizenship, that feels like finding a baby to get on a lifeboat, so at least it's proactive.

this is a great log line for most of Bravo's programming
So much of American history is just impulsive and extremely stupid elites, who don't believe in consequences because they have never personally experienced them, doing highly consequential stuff because they're bored or believe it might make them richer. I guess a lot of our culture, too.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

Jesus Christ this is so astonishing corrupt. Not even a veneer of respectability just “fuck it, we invaded a country to steal its oil, what are you gonna do?”
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

Trump: "There is nobody to take over. You have a vice president who has been appointed by Maduro. She's I guess the president. She was sworn in just a little while ago. She had a long conversation with Marco and she said, 'We'll do whatever you need.' She really doesn't have a choice."
