There is no clear cogent reason that trp has given for attacking Iran and that is brought up at the exact last sentence.

The US military is prepared to strike Iran as early as this weekend, though President Donald Trump has yet to make a final decision on whether he’ll authorize such actions, sources familiar with the matter tell CNN. https://cnn.it/4kGV8Op

What drives me batshit crazy is when mfers who couldn’t bust a grape in a fruit fight talk hard. If you can’t do it with your bare hands and in person shut the fuck up about your propensity for violence.

This is the thug version of stolen valor
Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

Avg high/low for the week are 38/23
It is insane to frame 5degrees below normal as “cool” and 20degrees above normal as “warm”
and not even mention global warming.

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files
What strikes me is that 'the volk' have incredibly incoherent and everywhere ideas, but the people who claim to speak for them in the press are like clerics who think there are two poles for all politics and everything must fit between them. These poles are like, eight inches apart

There is no point in stating something like
“if it’s Newsom I’m voting third party” or whatever
The guy has no juice and no shot at being the front runner.
I can’t believe he has any feet left, he’s shot himself there so many times
Read this sentence slowly:

“Gov. Gavin Newsom, crypto executives and business leaders are ramping up efforts this week to stop the proposed wealth tax...”

How is this even possible? Rep. Haley Stevens, who is running for #MISen, "seemed generally impressed with the staff" at an ICE detention facility, per the @michiganadvance.com.

At the same event, Rep. Hillary Scholten spoke of a man "being kept in a freezing room where he couldn’t feel his toes."

They don’t want to win with the left. They are desperately trying to attract moderate republicans (as if they exist) and want to win by giving them concessions rather than concessions to the left.
Because those (higher taxes, less Israel support, etc) are intolerable for them.
There is no bigoted right-wing narrative folks like Clinton will not validate in the name of carving off a sliver of essentially nonexistent GOP voters on the margins.
At another point, she says that Tthere is a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration. It went too far. It's been disruptive and destabilizing and it needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don't torture and kill people."
