These All Star uniforms look terrible. Another Rob Manfred fuckup.

9th grade, we watched a video version of Romeo & Juliet after having finished reading it for class. One of Juliet's nipples was visible for half a second. I'm pretty sure Project 2025 would have Mrs. Buchanan been dragged off to prison for the offense.

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

"Cultists view random act as evidence for their cult" is not news.

Trump’s close call in assassination attempt fuels talk he was ‘chosen by God’www.washingtonpost.com The former president’s supporters have said his survival is a sign of divine intervention — and his White House destiny.

Glad to see the temperature is being turned down.

The “Some folks need killing” guy just gave a primetime speech at the RNC.

"God instead chose to kill a father of two young girls."

New: Trump's escape from assassination has reinvigorated talk among supporters that God saved him for America's sake. Evangelist Franklin Graham: "Trump came very close to having his brains spread over that platform but God, I believe, protected him" www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...

I abhor all political violence, and the rhetoric that encourages it. In part, this is the reason I abhor Trump and his supporters.

Former president Donald Trump selected Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio as his running mate Monday, propelling the 39-year-old junior senator into global prominence. Here are six things to know about Vance, who once called himself a “Never Trump” guy.

6 things to know about J.D. Vance, Trump’s running matewww.washingtonpost.com A Trump win would make Sen. J.D. Vance one of the youngest vice presidents in history. The “Hillbilly Elegy” author and his wife, Usha, met at Yale Law School.

I mean... three inches different, and where are we?

there's a timeline where things happened slightly differently and politics over there are going nuclear

If the Axios piece and MSNBC’s decision that criticizing Trump isn’t allowed are where we’re headed… boy, it’s going to be a tough four months. To say nothing of the years that will follow.

Bump.

The second most recent post on the Facebook profile of the bystander killed at the rally is this. Jesus lord we’re through the looking glass

I’m thinking, for no reason, of the time Sarah Palin put Gabby Giffords’ face in target graphic and she was shot in the head a couple weeks later.

I guess the media already forgot who said “some people need killing” last week. Hint: it wasn’t anyone in the Biden campaign.

Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

Maybe letting lunatics have guns was a bad idea, he said for no reason in particular.

Popping on to say: A lot of rumors are about to fly about this rally. Trump's team is 100% going to try and take advantage of this situation. So will malicious foreign actors/bots/etc. Please don't auto share. Check your sources, and vet their wording/sourcing carefully.

Oh boy. Open season now for the crazies.

Holy shit

In fairness to Mississippi, the reason they spend more time on Pornhub is because it takes them three or four tries to spell “milf” correctly.

I regret to inform you we will have to start advertising on Pornhub about Project 2025's plan to ban porn

I totally understand why this is. It’s absolutely the right decision. And it completely sucks.

"We want to take this country back to the 1960s" "Oh, so you want the highest income brackets to be taxed at 70 to 90%?" "No!" "You want well-funded public universities?" "Absolutely not!" "You want high union membership?" "LOL. No." "Then what do you want?" "Oh, you know what we want."

I believe wrongfully imprisoned people, upon their release, should be granted one free crime, on a par with the time they unjustly served, to be committed against one of the parties responsible for their imprisonment.

The type of police officers who would quit rather than accept oversight are the ones we as a society should hope quit. So this is really ideal.

The Phoenix police union is warning that more than half of its officers are thinking about quitting unless city leaders fight oversight from the Justice Department

Misspeak = advanced dementia I don't make the rules.

In a report on Biden gaffes last night, Asma Khalid referred to "debate" when she meant to say "press conference." The fucking irony.

I've dealt with someone sliding into dementia and while I am not a Biden fanboy, I would totally endorse this

He’s elderly and he doesn’t express himself as well as he used to, but the dementia/cognitive dysfunction allegations are clearly bullshit
