The Trump campaign strongly condemns
the offensive Puerto Rico jokes,
all of which were vetted
and loaded into a teleprompter
by the Trump campaign

It's an interesting divergence to watch..

Republicans who had no problem with Reagan creating and popularizing the demeaning trope of the welfare queen now needing to decide if Trump and his legions have carried Trump's own brands of dehumanization too far.

At what point it is too much? And why wasn't it too much at the beginning of Reagan's malicious callousness?

They're old friends it seems :)

The sanitized wording from USA Today about the Nazi rally is gutless and disgusting.

18 months for Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Freedom of speech does not extend to hate and libel. This is the way.

Used “properly” #AI can significantly benefit both security and society. The keyword is properly.

Today's piece is going to be on The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), but good grief, does it ever suck sometimes to be reminded that we've done all this before. We humans never learn.

Trump: "I think with our little secret we are gonna do really well with the house, our little secret is having a big impact, he and I have a little secret, we will tell you what it is when the race is over."

I dunno man, sure sounds like (another) conspiracy to defraud the United States to me.

The other person he is referring to is Mike Johnson.

Guess: There's gonna be electoral college fuckery resulting in the House getting to decide who won the election.

Musk says if Dickless gets elected, "some Americans will face hardships" as a result of his somehow instantly balancing the budget.

Flipper suggests raiding the Social Security trust fund and cutting benefits to seniors, who are "taking advantage of government" by getting a return on the "investments" they were obliged to make when they were working.

It's like they're DARING America to kick them to the curb now.

It wasn’t just “4 years of Trump”, ever since he announced that he was running for president nine years ago, the media has given him nothing but non stop coverage.

You literally could not go anywhere without stumbling across a “Oh, here’s a crazy fucking thing Trump did today” news story.

I want him to lose because I never want to spend the next four years talking this much about politics ever again.
