Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Pennsylvania Republicans are aiming to erase Democrats' majority on the state supreme court in November.

But this sort of push has virtually no precedent or template in this state, making a weird campaign where everyone is trying to find their mark.

A great new read:

Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts

The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

You can get so used to Trump lying all the time that you forget to call him out on it now and then: nymag.com/intelligence...

Someone Should Inform Trump That He’s Actually Unpopular

Trump claimed polls show he’s the most popular Republican president ever. He’s actually the least popular in the post–World War II era.

Badly scarred, and there was talk when it happened about how it would be hard to use, but pretty quickly it faded into the background in an example of either sloppy writing or (checks Tumblr) Thomas' indomitable inner strength of will.

I thought Thomas was shot in the hand and wounded but didn't lose it.

Once upon a time, if a president head lied this brazenly, it would be considered a disgrace by both political parties

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

The Trump administration pardons hundreds of cop beaters who wanted to overturn an election and then it wants to stage this sort of arrest of a former the FBI director investigated Trump’s campaign. Sums it up. No law, no order.
