This post by the world’s richest and most divorced man on the site he bought to promote his far right extremism is ripped straight from the Klan messaging of the 1870s or the 1915 film Birth of a Nation that inspired the Klan’s rebirth as a PR stunt/Ponzi scheme/terrorist organization in the 1920s.

Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

The agriculture industry is probably the single greatest recipient of welfare in America, yet is talked about very differently than people on WIC or the post office
1) Impose massive tariffs on China
2) China retaliates by ending its soybean imports
3) Cut deal w/ China so they'll buy our soybeans
4) China buys only 20%, so far, of what it agreed to purchase
5) Offer $12 billion to US farmers so they don't go bankrupt

One good reason to think that the writers of the 14th amendment intended it to convey birthright citizenship is that it says “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”
This isn’t a difference of opinion. Ilan Wurman and Randy Barnett are straightforward liars.

An ideal supporting performance imo. Within the film, Penn is closer to what I consider a lead role
a thing I am happy to have been wrong about is saying in late September that Benicio Del Toro’s performance in One Battle After Another was probably too small in multiple senses to get much traction in awards season

Even granting the racist, xenophobic premise here how does a 16.6% foreign born population destroy the culture of the 83.4% that isn’t? What exactly is the fear?

Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."

one of the problems I have with Democrats (and other critics) labeling these "war crimes" is that it accepts the underlying claim that the people being murdered are enemy combatants. They're not! it's just murder!
Fox News' Joey Jones justifies the US military killing survivors after an initial boat strike: "An enemy combatant does not have to have a gun to be a danger or a threat... if you leave anybody alive, they can signal and let others know what’s happening and they can also retaliate through radio."

The word for this is “depravity”
There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.

The structural issues with American politics and media lead to massive thermostatic backlash for whoever happens to hold power. This will happen until those issues are fixed. Political pundits and consultants sell people on “messaging” solutions that are merely correlative to thermostatic backlash.

Hegseth is a war criminal and a murderer and should, at minimum, be tried as such
In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
