"The administration is doing dumb things, this proves they will fail."

1. They are not as dumb as you think in the areas that matter to them: grabbing power.

2. Being dumb is a feature, not a bug, of authoritarianism. Hiring based on loyalty does that.

3. This thinking is what leads to inaction.

So long as you don’t describe them as “Democrat” policies, they’ll poll highly.

Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

I agree asking for Trump’s help is not the best idea but she clearly did that. Also, stop calling him Hitler, there so many better nicknames for him, like Agolf Shitler, Epstien’s BFF, Cheeto Benito, etc.

Turns out all you have to give Qatar in exchange for a jumbo jet is a fancy new air force base to park it at.

If Bin Laden were still alive he’d be laughing his ass off at these dumb little bigots making his life easier.

Walt, what are you doing wasting time commenting on this story?? Don’t you know democracy is under attack?? Why aren’t you at the WH right now with a shotgun?? In fact, I’m not even sure you should be on BlueSky with this rise of fascism. March to Washington and don’t reply until we defeated them.

Some journalists get purged from MSM and start up a substack or independent platform and I’m grateful to still have their voice amplified in some form.

This is not one of those journalists.

You didn’t even spell a word wrong…

Your grammar on the other hand makes me think English isn’t your first language OR you’re under 20 years old.

David Simon being based as hell.

Ari Shapiro being woefully unprepared for an interview.

We are not surprised.
junoryleejournalism.com
David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)
SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

The Israel-Hamas peace agreement “grew directly out of Trump’s desperate thirst for the Nobel,” Jonathan Chait argues. “If dangling the award in front of Trump encourages him to work hard to end conflicts,” we must wonder what will happen if he gets it:
Trump’s Nobel Thirst Is Actually Great for the World
The president’s ego inspires plenty of bad choices, but his desire for a Peace Prize is proving useful.
