I assume the Trump camp will now establish their own peace prize that they will bestow on their most useful flunkies. It will be a giant medal with Trump’s glowering face on it.

The right’s Nobel obsession is useful because it is inexplicable as anything other than trying to make Trump personally happy. 95% of all Trumpworld obsessions have the same root (2020 election, James/Comey) but rarely is it so hard to retcon a justification for it.

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

Ah; you’re right!

Turley/Wurman/Lash will coauthor it

A law professor is probably writing an article right now explaining how Trump has the authority to fire the Nobel Committee.

This brownie was baked in an anatomical heart mould and has cherry sauce all over it that looks a little like coagulated blood. I love it!

The way she says Oakland is just really striking to me. Like it’s a place that really doesn’t matter.

The people defending Porter are the same vibe as the people defending Franken.

You don't have to. There are alternatives. This isn't even a case of giving up a major structural advantage to the right. I understand someone was your fave but this is not the first time.

I was not expected to be visited by Lady Macbeth tonight, but here we are.

My hands are stained with more than thirst could ever parch. Let the water cleanse the common folk—our deeds require a darker vintage.

And please don’t come at me with "if she were a man" stuff. If she were a man who were abusive toward her staff I wouldn’t mind? Bullshit.

This gives me flashbacks to getting yelled at by OC ladies while cleaning their houses with my mom.

🎃😱Slaybell Romero loves Halloween👻👹 @maybell.bsky.social · 15h

I’m only just now catching up with everything that’s gone down with this and good lord, can you imagine feeling like you could yell at anyone like this? Fucking wild.

This is not appropriate behavior. And I realize many of you who are fans of Katie Porter are very frustrated by what feels like a sexist double standard in how her anger is covered vs. Trump, but you can't tell me this is appropriate behavior toward staff.

‘Get out of my f--king shot’: Katie Porter tears into staffer in newly released video

Porter in the July 2021 video call exclusively obtained by POLITICO also vented that she was snubbed by the Biden White House, complaining she raised the president “a shit ton of money.”

Exactly. Honestly, that doesn’t seem weird at all and relatively straightforward.

It’s gotten to the point where I don’t remember what it’s like to not be on some sort of hormonal medication connected to IVF.

These works were the pop culture of the day, people! Of course they’re funny and dirty and snarky, just like we like today!

🎃😱Slaybell Romero loves Halloween👻👹 @maybell.bsky.social · 19h

Same with a lot of Renaissance and even Middle English works. People sometimes talk about Chaucer being hard to understand and boring. Read it out loud and act it out and it is anything but!

I think the thread actually doe a great job of explaining how this might be A+ shit talk on Kendrick’s part, but doesn’t rise to defamation.
