LYONS: Various nefarious regimes did that

GOLDMAN: Is Nazi Germany one?

Trump: "Two views of the Great Ballroom being built on the site of our wonderful White House — It is on budget, and ahead of schedule! ... Because of its unprecedented structural, safety, and security features, it will also be used for future Presidential Inaugurations."

Sure, Republicans lie, but I can't get over how ludicrous their stated positions are.

In this clip, if you take what he says at face value ("still investigating... from what we have seen... if it is true"), House Republicans are unsure how to confirm the lyrics to a song because it was in Spanish.
Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"

"no deportation officer has been murdered in the line of duty since the creation of ICE after 9/11"
Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record.

And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once.

The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...

Thune’s plan has been obvious - drag this out as long as possible to put distance between the Pretti/Good murders and the final vote on DHS funding, hoping that the American public moves on. Senate Dems will never have more leverage for ICE reforms than they do right now.

He doesn't know if the Census Bureau is part of the department he runs?! Or he doesn't know the Census Bureau establishes the poverty line?

Either way, that's the kind of staggering admission of utter cluelessness that should get this ass-kissing toady shown the door
KENNEDY: The Census Bureau is under your jurisdiction & responsible for defining what it means to be poor, is that right?

LUTNICK: I don't know

K: Well you need to look, bc it does. What's the % of Americans who live below poverty level?

L: I don't know

K: It's around 11%. It's been constant

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

This chart is the most damning repudiation of the 2024 Biden-isn't-fixing-student-debt dead enders even possible, good gawd look at that y-axis over the last six years. Genuinely astonishing how many of them STILL argue he didn't do anything; at this point I think we can just call them liars.

I wrote about the right-wing Super Bowl halftime show as part of a larger project to create and maintain an unreality in which the American right is culturally and politically dominant.

it's halftime and Sweden's up 3-2:

-The Wranå siblings are playing much better than their last time vs. USA

-Dropkin is more reserved than the semifinal; he doesn't have to respond to a big italian crowd

-So far the difference has been one big draw by Bella. Beyond that nobody's blinked
