Yeah, well I found your focus on *support* for Israel to be offensive. So...
In his new memoir, Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania suggests that when Kamala Harris’s team vetted him to be her running mate in 2024, aides focused on Israel to an extent he found offensive.

I feel like the only person who saw the movie My Fellow Americans, but everything Trump does internationally reminds me of when a Dutch politician was visiting and Dan Akroyd had to tell the vice president "please remember these visitors are from the Nether*lands* and not the Nether Regions
'“As regards the Nobel Peace Prize, I have on several occasions clearly explained to Trump what is well known, namely that it is an independent Nobel Committee, and not the Norwegian government, that awards the prize,” [Norwegian Prime Minister] Mr. Store said.'
Breaking News: President Trump told Norway’s prime minister that one reason he’s pushing to acquire Greenland is because he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize.

The desperate need for teams to show they're "doing something" following disappointing seasons has to result in more dumb decisions than virtually any other situation in sports.

"Verbal assault" is not a thing, especially not toward a cop/fed. Your employment contract implicitly serves as consent to deal with the public's opinion of you.
"We've seen over a thousand percent increase in assaults on ICE officers, 8,000 verbal assaults on them...."

One of my favorite dumb facts is that the third amendment is the only one in the bill of rights to never be the central basis of a Supreme Court decision because it's generally just such a "yeah no shit we can't do that," but I don't know if I would any longer be surprised if Trump broke that streak

If the whole reason we're given for not taxing billionaires is that they create lots of jobs and value for investors, does that mean we should immediately and retroactively start taxing them 100% when their personal stupidity costs thousands of jobs and billions of dollars?

Abolishing ICE is now not only the overwhelmingly favored position of the Democratic party voters, but has plurality support *with the entire country.*
If you don't have the courage to do what is already popular, perhaps you simply don't mind what ICE is doing.

Tell ya what, if me and my buddies ever put together a water polo team, and we hold a match in the Bay of Bengal where Gavin Newsom joins us, and one of us accidentally yeets our only ball onto North Sentinel Island, I will gladly vote for him. To be the one to retrieve it.
yeah i'll vote for gavin newsom under extreme circumstances. like say we're on a life raft and need to decide who to eat first. or our plane crashes in the andes and we're figuring out who to barbecue for dinner. or if we're wagon-bound and stranded in a frozen pass over the sierra nevada mountains,

This is such a bonkers way to frame "USPS reduced its prices."
"We were getting SLAPPED with a FEE for sending MAIL"
Yeah man, that's called postage. It's always existed.

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.

It's because it brings back to the surface all of their trauma around being a disappointment to their fathers.
ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

God, Donald really missed his calling in life by not just becoming the catty host of drag queen bingo nights.
Trump: "A friend of mine who's a very smart guy, very very rich, very powerful man actually. But he's very fat. And he took the fat drug. I won't give you which one. It was Ozempic ... the drug doesn't work on him. I saw him recently. He's actually fatter than ever."

All of this, plus I just want to add my general disbelief that people are still convinced "don't give him an excuse" is a valid form of resistance against a man whose whole entire thing is "I don't need an excuse"
I feel like people who are telling folks in Minnesota not to take the bait so Trump doesn’t invoke the Insurrection Act have a lot more good faith in an aging cruel dipshit who is being feed a steady diet of AI slop by scheming viziers who dream of invoking the Insurrection Act than I do.

Putting aside the Mr Beast association, I have to ask: is there a more iconic duo than "The LDS Church" and "hoping to lower the ages?"
The YouTube phenomenon known as MrBeast has partnered with the LDS Church on philanthropy, and church President Dallin Oaks says he hopes lower missionary ages will lead to lower marriage ages.
