If, somehow, it turns out that there is nothing to #TrumpRussia, his next book should be “The Art of Acting Really, Really Guilty”

George Carlin: "Smug, greedy, well-fed white people have invented a language to conceal their sins. Israeli murderers are called commandos. Arab commandos are called terrorists."

@paulrpotts @RantonBad @inthesamedevice Ah, well, now that I know that solutions involving time machines are viable, I can see how limited my thinking has become.

@rezionet @RantonBad @inthesamedevice Literally “any Democrat.” The Dems should have spent the last decade building up a viable farm team rather than propping up their doddering gerontocracy. The fact that they didn’t is their problem, not mine. washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/…

@paulrpotts @RantonBad @inthesamedevice Uh-huh. And who is this winning alternative candidate?

@rezionet @RantonBad @inthesamedevice It’s not a tight race at all. Biden’s approval ratings are the lowest of the previous _seven_ presidents. It’s electoral suicide to run Biden. But Democrats don’t actually prioritize winning, they prioritize hysterical fundraising e-mails. news.gallup.com/poll/547763/bi…

@xiruahu @DavidCayJ Yes, and she has said as much. There's no point in trying to shame the shameless.

@DavidCayJ Reporters know that Malaria is only with Trump for the money.

Good question:

You will hear everlastingly, in all discussions about newspapers, companies, aristocracies, or party politics, this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man.

There is one thing that Christ and all the Christian saints have said with a sort of savage monotony. They have said simply that to be rich is to be in peculiar danger of moral wreck.

Look Putin is a major supporter of Trump and Putin is entitled to a return on his investment

@inthesamedevice @paulrpotts Don't ask me why we have a system where Biden became the only candidate who could beat Trump, but that was the reality in 2020. And switching horses now would get us Trump for sure. So keep on complaining, but only if you think Trump is preferable.

@inthesamedevice @paulrpotts He's an 81 year old maintaining a schedule that most people would not be able to manage at all.

Now assured there will be no intervention from the civilized world, Russians are now free to slowly destroy any Ukrainian city they choose. Overnight, the residential areas of the beautiful and historic city of Odesa were targeted with Iranian Kamikaze drones.

Reports say LA Times is losing $40 million a year. Its owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, has an estimated net worth of about $5 billion. Even if he never makes another penny he could cover those losses every year for a century and still have more than $1 billion left over in the bank.

@JYSexton Fear and rage short-circuit critical thinking.

“Why do all these people believe all this crazy shit???” asks a nation where every industry designed to communicate factual information or teach critical thinking skills has been liquidated by the rich in order to hide what they’ve done.

@davidfrum Old enough to remember when the US proudly supported democracies from murderous autocrats.

The House Republican aid blockade

We've gone from "the only thing to fear is fear itself" to:

If you build your identity around being a victim, then victimizing others is kinda going to erode your brand.
