We've reached the reductio ad absurdum of current right-wing culture war obsessions - that, per Tucker, Bannon, et al, full-scale invasion of another country is no biggie because, after all, it's not nearly the affront that calling someone racist or supporting trans kids is.

I think a lot of people who write or opine about politics for a living are clinging to the norms of an era of politics that died when Trump came down the escalator.

Well, say what you will, Gettleman wasn't wrong about Saquon's transcendent talent.

JD's contempt for the people he grew up with, including his family, as well as his self-hatred, is on full display here. Projection all the way down.
JD Vance: “Maybe that’s why the Democrats want us all to be, you know, poor health and overweight is because it means we’re going to be more liberal, right? If you make people less healthy, they apparently become more politically liberal.” Has Vance been to WV?

It's ridiculous for Trump to claim to be the anti-war candidate and it's also ridiculous that that lane has been left wide open for him.

Molinari was the keynote speaker at the 1996 Republican National Convention.
Fmr Staten Island Rep. Susan Molinari says her husband - fmr Rep. Bill Paxton - is also voting for @KamalaHarris. Both were Republican members of Congress. Campaigning in NC, she says: "What we see now is not representative of the prior leaders of the Republican Party."

Ok, this is adorable.
A frank and productive exchange of views with my counterpart on key issues like expanding the global supply of candy and toys and tightening sanctions against chores.

Cannot be said enough: Trump's whole ploy is to get you to resent your neighbors instead of your landlord. In power, he will make it easier for people to extort you, but pretend he is helping you by deporting your neighbors. I know people fall for this, but please don't.

In Prius or Pickup, one of our survey questions asked whether "women should return to their traditional roles"? Among worldview conservatives, i.e., staunch Trump supporters, fully half said they should (almost no liberals agreed). This was 2016, not 1916.
I’m at a loss for words at how condescending this is towards women. Do the Dems think marriages are stuck in the 1950’s?

Brings to mind George Costanza saying he designed the new wing of the Guggenheim and that it didn't take very long, either.
RFK Jr. said tonight that Trump “has promised me” control of HHS & “its sub-agencies” as well as the Dept. Of Agriculture
