@malmesburyman It's because Obama, for all his faults, was actually in charge of his administration. Biden was just the figurehead who was totally incapable of stopping his ostensible subordinates from running wild and going off the rails

Biden was more important than Obama. Biden had the sniffing thing, the leg hair story, “dog faced pony soldier”. His senility inspired terror in his aides, and as much as he was ‘managed’ by them, he had to be, because he was insane. And that allowed them to do extreme things to try to entrench Obamaism. Obama himself on the other hand was just an uptight closet case whose failures were all incremental. On health care and Iran in particular, his signature policy efforts, all he did was make things a little worse. An all around insignificant man, who bizarrely still has a few acolytes left who just don’t see how little he mattered.

I continue to stand against the left-right anti-Obama horseshoe and believe that the most popular and successful president of the century was good, actually.

Who’s the longest serving senator who was never a senior senator?

@MeekPhill_ Do we think they'll beat the pitcher record set last season?

I mean we’re just literally dumpster diving

Source: RHP Jack Weisenburger (28) signed a minor league deal with the New York Mets. Expected to start in Double-A. He pitched in the Atlantic League in 2025 and the Mexican League this season. A scout says his velocity sits 93–96 mph, but his command comes and goes.

Edward VII is a much underrated monarch esp as a diplomat and had he lived, arguably, many issues may have been avoided - esp a Portuguese republican revolution

🎥 The Crown, which controversially charted the Royal family’s modern history in its latest season, will return for a “spin-off”, beginning with Queen Victoria’s death in 1901. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04/3…

@Miss_Met Yup. He doesn't want to look like a moron after not firing Mendoza w/ the rest of the coaching staff after last season
English
In all seriousness, David Stearns seems like one of the most stubborn people in sports. He signed Ryne Stanek and rode it out through one of the worst ERAs by a reliever in Mets history. Hard to see him backing off his own decisions now......

Fire Carlos Mendoza.

@BackAftaThis This is the same guy who thought Frankie Montas was worth $34 million, so that should answer your question

@SteveGelbs @StevenACohen2 you gonna do anything to right the ship/hold anyone accountable, or just keep your thumb up your ass?

This was a homestand where the Mets really had to make some hay. Nine games against three teams who shouldn’t be in the playoff picture…and they go 3-6. They’ve now lost 17 of 20 and continue to spiral downward fast.

@MichaelDeMatteo @Telegraph George IV was played by Mark Gattiss in Taboo but that's all I can think of recently

@RobertOBrien26 @Telegraph I doubt they show it all but they may hint at the chair. As for the House of Hanover, they should do a show on them. The Madness of King George is the closest thing to that we have in a film version but I can’t recall any shows on the Hanovers.

@MichaelDeMatteo @Telegraph If they want that, they should go all the way back to George III and his sons, who were a total bunch of degenerates

The most INSANE report of the week:
The Mets will likely be looking for a big-time bat at the MLB trade deadline, reported by @JonHeyman
Some notes from their offseason:
- Let Pete Alonso walk
- Passed on Munetaka Murakami and Kazuma Okamoto in favor of Jorge Polanco
- Dropped the ball on Kyle Tucker
- Traded away Brandon Nimmo
David Stearns messed up BIG TIME.

@Mets Nice to see the reliever clown show continues after last season. Great job Stearns

@CatholicSmark @varadmehta Sinema started out like this but by the end of her term had fully assimilated into suburban Phoenix.
Walz is different. He’s clearly always disdained many of his constituents, mostly the ones who remind him of his western Nebraska home town.
English
How do resistance libs keep doing this and not learn? They did it with Tim Walz, and now again with McMorrow. Someone who is supposed to appeal to a demo they absolutely hate and despise.

@TonerousHyus Don't even need to add rich re: white leftists, as shown by Mamdani's coalition in NYC/Bernies national following before him
English
Rich white leftists and black women have literally zero in common.
It’s an unholy alliance that will result in both seeing their political power reduced
English
Will be very brutal post 2030. Especially given how black Dems have willfully handed over their party to upper class rich white women
Will Chamberlain@willchamberlain
This is the key passage in Louisiana v. Callais. While not overturning section 2 of the VRA, it construes it into near-irrelevance. All minority voters are entitled to is that the map drawers NOT use race as a metric in drawing their maps. No more majority-minority districts.

@PatriarchyMaxx @ThomBrady5 Yeah between Mandelson and former Prince Andrew there's a lot more tangible Epstein dirt vs the nonsense we're hearing about in the US
English
@ThomBrady5 It's too popular in Britain to avoid. They are desperate for this kind of stuff.
English
this was a huge mistake for Trump so I would say try to learn from us not to engage in this conspiracy slop because the public can't handle it
Rupert Lowe MP@RupertLowe10
With all this noise about Mandelson, do not forget - a Restore Britain Government will publish the Epstein Files, unredacted, where any British politician or public figure is involved. We will tell the people the truth.

@kausmickey @AnthonyAbides I live in a very blue area and I've said it before on here, but the median reaction to Butler and the other assassination attempts among umc white Dems (aka their grassroots) is along the lines of 'too bad they missed'
English
My sense is that politicians aren't encouraging Dems to get crazier and crazier. They're rushing to keep up with grassroots Dems getting crazier and crazier. It's the only way to get attention, money, traction. (Formerly semi-responsible pols aren't calling for violence, but they're getting more and more extreme to catch the prevailing wind. Ro Khanna and Ted Lieu would be examples.)

The thing that will shock people is when it doesn’t change for Rubio or Vance. That I suspect will be a bigger eye opener than anyone anticipates and will really be the pinnacle of the Corbynization of the Democratic Party.
