This is a bit of local flavor I absolutely adore.
So, in Fair Oaks, at the corner of Sunrise and Fair Oaks Blvd, there is a dirt lot with a retaining wall that’s been sitting unused for decades. DECADES. Literally since the ‘80s.
The retaining wall had “NO PARKING” painted on it.

Don’t forget that the sandwich guy was released at the scene and then re-arrested in a raid by a full tactical team. They were willing to kill him and and any neighbors in the way to get propaganda footage of the “arrest”.

Trump is like a henchman from Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego? (1989) in which it is critical to find out the most recent book the henchmen has read because their crimes are always based on the book.

Something our glorious Secretary of War does not seem to have considered is that the reason military PT and grooming standards, plus policies for EEO and abuse reporting, are the way they are is because they're necessary for recruitment and retention

I've talked shit about JRR Martin's critiques of Tolkien before, so I think it's fair to say that what he says here is obviously, self-evidently correct, all of the children whining about it are missing the point to a literally insane degree, and it annoys me every time I see this make the rounds.

The public is pissed about Epstein in no small part because he was a rich guy who got away with heinous crimes because he deliberately cultivated rich friends. That's an inequality story. The only way it could be closer to "kitchen table issues" is if the files were tucked in a goddamn pocketbook!

Whether it's Republicans behaving like autocrats or Democrats pointing out that Republicans are behaving like autocrats, both parties have contributed to the sense that America is backsliding into autocracy.

The simple truth is that Trump believes that, if we send money to a county in exchange for stuff, we've just lost because now they have our money
Trump: "I spoke to a lot of leaders -- European, Asian, from all over the world. They are dying to make a deal, but I said 'we're not gonna have deficits with your country' ... to me a deficit is a loss. We're gonna have surpluses or at worst we're gonna be breaking even."

It's not just fdr. One of the things the epa did not long after it was formed was document the nation's pollution via photography. That can seem frivolous, but generations of Americans have no idea why the EPA was necessary. This broke a million views when we published it in 2017

One of the reason "hippies" are generally imagined to be a leftwing phenomenon is because the counterculture is generally imagined to be left. (See also: kink, non-monogamy, substance use.) In practice, though, they're "left" simply because the Christian Right hates them

What you have to understand about Romney is that he's very sincere about opposing Trumpian corruption and autocracy, he just thinks that, on balance, the destruction of American democracy is less bad than expanding Medicaid or abortion rights.
It's not even hypocrisy, just a useless set of values.

Utah Sen. Mitt Romney said the future of the Republican Party belongs to Donald Trump, and, while Romney still considers himself a member of the party, the ranks of “mainstream” Republicans have diminished to a trickle.
