No clearer indication of the right’s moral rot than the swift evolution from angrily denying any association with buffoonish bigots like like Posobiec and Fuentes, to “there’s no harm in having a conversation,” to openly praising and promoting them.

Not the least surprised by this. I’d hope it might finally wake up some mainstream libertarians to what Smith is really about. But it probably won’t.

This is one narrative I’ve had it with. Trump’s wrongdoing isn’t his fault, it’s actually the Dems fault for provoking him into it.

"Many Democrats still cannot see how their legal aggression against Trump during his four years out of power set the stage for the dangerous revenge tour on which he is now embarked."

Acting POTUS Temu Goebbels Stephen Miller is flooding Decomposing Dictator's brain w/apocalyptic AI slop 24/7, along w/Fox News. Then they send Trump out in this fantasist state of cognitive collapse.

No demand from the press asking for proof of his vision of Portland's condition.

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Imagine if sports were covered this way. If a gymnast came out for floor exercise chugged a beer, belched, farted, made racist gestures at the Chinese team while taunting them in broken English and insulted the judges and the ESPN headline was “unconventional routine not rewarded with high scores.”

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 1d

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice

Interesting how Confederate statues are sacred totems of our nation’s heritage and history that must be protected and preserved until the end of time but things like this sidewalk have to go immediately because some homophobic snowflakes are triggered by them and need their safe space restored.

Will Stancil @whstancil.bsky.social · 20h

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

Miller on a crowd of aged hippies swaying as they sing Afternoon Delight: “These radical Antifa terrorists shall be dealt with. You heard them. SKYROCKETS IN FLIGHT. An unequivocal plan to use weapons of war. Such intolerable threats will be met with the full might of the United States military.”

Can’t wait until we get the opinion where Team Plain Text explains to us that somewhere in the Constitution, there can be found a right of parents to have their gay kids subjected to psychological abuse.

“Miller plainly believes there’s a latent authoritarian majority out in the country that can be sleepwalked into authoritarianism.”

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.
