Oh jeez I’m gone

It is increasingly clear that when Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, “we are not just a bunch of partisan hacks, “it was the equivalent of Nixon saying, “I am not a crook.“

@TheRickyDavila The embarrassment factor is greatly underestimated. We were taught to be proud of the President but even Reagan and Bush Jr didn’t degrade the office like Trump has.

The United States is being run by such trashy despicable vile clowns. A daily embarrassment and our world will suffer greatly for it.

It is not normal for law-enforcement officers to cover their faces with masks. This has never been a common practice in the United States. But it should tell you absolutely everything about the legality and morality of what ICE is doing in communities across our country.

@Mike___Kilo @mariashriver God you’re an idiot. Pathetic.

@mariashriver I'm puzzled. We've been told for decades now by feminists that men and women are the same and that all differences between men and woman are socially constructed. Now you're claiming women have special health needs? Make it make sense.

Every woman, I repeat, every woman of every age, every color, every political affiliation should condemn this, should raise their voice about this, should be terrified about this. Just a few short months ago women’s health advocates were optimistic for the first time in generations, today we should be alarmed. Women’s health research cannot afford to be cancelled like this, our lives are on the line. science.org/content/articl…

@TalbertSwan We are just four days apart, Bishop, I’ll be 66 on the 28th. I like your posts; you are the type of Christian I can respect!

And just like that… I’m 60 today. Grateful for the journey, the lessons, the legacy, and the love. Still standing, still growing, still walking in purpose. Happy Birthday to me — April 24 #Chapter60 #GraceInMySteps #StillBecoming #TeamSwan #BlackDontCrack

VERY unpopular opinion humans were never meant to be this busy that’s why everybody is anxious and depressed.

The level of dishonesty in this country — the abject refusal to confront who we are and what we have done — makes this place susceptible to charlatans and makes some who walk among us monstrous.

@ianrich15813274 @atrupar Clearly the US has peaked as a great power, that is inevitable. What wasn’t inevitable was the stupidity, the crassness, the venality—and the indifference of 2/3 of the electorate to all of it.

@atrupar America is soon going to learn the cost of re-electing a moron who thinks you can effectively govern with just insults & threats.

Trump: "Adam Schifty Schiff. Can you believe this guy? He's got the smallest neck I've ever seen. And the biggest head. We call him watermelon head. How can that big fat face stand on a neck that looked like this finger? ... how we can allow people like that to run in office is a shame."

@AntiCommieBecca @RichardHanania Another idiot.

@RichardHanania I think we have to make peace with the fact that we do not have a conservative movement anymore (you could argue neither do we have a liberal movement). We have two parties who firmly represent the fringes of each movement. There are few if any good choices at the moment. 😒

For those asking: yes, voting for Trump was a mistake. I thought we'd get a repeat of the first administration, but we didn't. The signs were there, I just did not take my own ideas about the awfulness of Trump and MAGA seriously enough.

@bbuckley88 @RichardHanania You’re an idiot and a hateful person-but probably a Russian bot.

@catoletters @RichardHanania Racist says what?

@RichardHanania Remember the DNC is most responsible for the Trump Presidency. They offered Kamala to make sure Trump won

@wysassygirl @RichardHanania @BillKristol Oh jeez you’re an idiot. Long game from the guy he had to cheat and steal from suppliers and still had multiple bankruptcies.

@CuriousPartaker @RichardHanania Racist says what?

@RichardHanania There was no better alternative given the choices.

@RasmusJarlov @kgbrah You’re extremely patient with these idiots.

@kgbrah Really? So where does the trade deficit come from?

Mood in Europe: We are not giving you a damn thing because you start a childish trade war and keep telling lies about injustices to the USA that do not exist. We can not give in to this level of stupidity and encourage more of it. It will simply have to play out.

@RasmusJarlov @Gobirds108 Hey Mr. Jarlov, we Americans aren’t all idiots like the fellow you’re responding to, but given that we’ve empowered all the idiots, you are entitled to act as if we are all idiots or spineless or both. It’s sad and sickening.

@Gobirds108 Good for you. Thanks for letting us know.

@marcwest @low_dosage Yes, and Eureka, where I am now, sources its water from the Mad River, though I’m no crazier than before 😝

@dan_carmell @low_dosage Tasty water rocks! FYI, Oakland comes from Pardee Reservoir feed by Mokelumne River in the Sierra Nevadas, and, if you lived in SF, you of course know that the water supply is famously from Hetch Hetchy, also from Sierra Nevada snow melt.

are you fucking kidding me

Now’s the time when we see who really cares about the rule of law or who really just cared about themselves.

@Rail_splitter1 @ChrisCillizza Yes, it’s only ‘self-inflected’ if his aim was to improve the economy, not add to the destabilizing chaos.

@ChrisCillizza No, this isn’t a “self-inflicted” wound. He will suffer no harm. In fact, he will benefit. The more chaos and destruction he causes, the easier it will be for him to definitively destroy the rule of law and the Constitution.

🧵 1/ We are witnessing an act of remarkable political incompetence by Donald Trump on tariffs. It is hard for me to remember a bigger, dumber or more self-inflicted wound than this one. Let me explain:

@ovinepolitickII @armandhammr @maddenifico And business leaders. I’d subscribe if I could afford it.

@armandhammr @maddenifico Politicians do.

In my life I have never seen a more brutal evisceration of an American president than what The Economist said about Trump and his tariffs. IF YOU failed to spot America being “looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far” or it being cruelly denied a “turn to prosper”, then congratulations: you have a firmer grip on reality than the president of the United States. It’s hard to know which is more unsettling: that the leader of the free world could spout complete drivel about its most successful and admired economy. Or the fact that on April 2nd, spurred on by his delusions, Donald Trump announced the biggest break in America’s trade policy in over a century—and committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era.

@Final_Girl_123 @armandhammr @maddenifico I often don’t like their viewpoint, but it’s always well written and cogent. The Economist reports on issues and events worldwide very few American publications touch anymore. I’d subscribe if I could afford, and feel better informed.

@armandhammr @maddenifico I regularly read The Economist??!
