Great piece.

Watching the entire "should Biden step down" discussion play out completely among donors and insiders is an incredibly bleak illustration of how absent the working class base of the Democratic Party is from its power center. We can fix that. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-hole-a...

Lol

Anonymous troll I would like you to meet my other trolls who accuse me of the exact opposite

According to a substantial number of TikTokers who are always in my comments I am a founding member of Hamas, so it’s good to branch out I guess.

They just blocked me, so guessing they found out.

A hill I will die on: all white-collar crimes are violent crimes. It's just that the violence is removed from the perpetrator because the perpetrator is wealthy.

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.

Tweeted this 4 years ago. But I was wrong about Tucker Carlson remaining relevant, maybe I am wrong about the other thing too.

Also I thought opening the border was supposed to be bad?

the breadth of misinformation is unreal. a woman next to us at dinner said she went to cuba when “trump opened the border” and her date said “best president ever.” obama did that!!! trump reversed it!!!

Ok I just moved from “unsure” to “dump Biden”

Aw that’s nice 🙂

This awful Biden situation could’ve been avoided if the US had simply stayed under British rule and gradually transitioned to being an independent parliamentary democracy like Canada

I watched the Strephanopolous interview and Biden asked “who could get a crowd like I did today?” and said the crowd wanted him to continue. I was in the crowd and talked to people in the line and certainly these are strong Dems but we were also talking about who would be the strongest candidate

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

Today in "Trump didn't write this, someone on his campaign staff did." I don't know if Kellyanne Conway is working for Trump these days but this feels more like her style, voice, and syntax than Trump or those posting on his behalf recently.

McEntee for those of you who don’t know is a wildly misogynistic alpha male TikTok influencer who posts on an account called “Date Right Stuff.” He’s also a failed college quarterback who entered politics through via a Fox News job he got from his industry dad and a viral trick shot YouTube video.

Here's the announcement from Heritage that they've hired McEntee for their PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION PROJECT. They note that McEntee headed up the Presidential Personnel Office for Trump at the end of his last administration. This is not complicated people. www.heritage.org/press/former...

Former PPO Director John McEntee Joins Project 2025; Personnel Database Launches | The Heritage Foundationwww.heritage.org WASHINGTON—John McEntee, former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office in the Trump administration, is joining the 2025 Presidential Transition Project (Project 2025) as a senior ad...

His reactionary dating app was funded with seed money from Peter Thiel. He played a central role in the 2021 coup attempt, writing a memo with a fake story about Thomas Jefferson meant to convince Mike Pence to overthrow the election.

And a lot of people are still pissed we reelected a president with early stage Alzheimer’s 40 years later!

I’m saying I expected him to turn in a SOTU level performance at the debate.
