Nary a word in the print edition of the Washington Post so far about Trump having disparaged Medal of Honor winners, but the day after JD Vance attacked Tim Walz's military record:
[extremely long pause while I try to figure out why on earth the dog is called Atlas]
Oh right. The stupid book. Okay yeah that sucks and also I need more coffee
there are countless people in this society more interesting than conservative podcaster but you wouldn’t know this from reading our most influential national publications
“Will no one rid me of this troublesome billionaire?? King Henry. Only it was a priest. Samuel Becket. Peter O’Toole! We love Lawrence of Arabia. The late great Lawrence of Arabia. He’s a good friend and he’s been a great supporter, thank you Lawrence.”
Rounding up migrants. Lists of “friendly” sheriffs. Debating political assassinations. Internal messages reveal AP3's journey from Jan. 6 through the tumultuous lead-up to the 2024 election.
One member predicts: “It’ll be decided at the ammo box.”
The funniest part of this to me is that their evidence is that Shapiro... was the first runner up! In a large field of candidates, he came out ahead of all of them except one! Set aside that the decision reportedly came down to personal reasons, being the #2 choice is not how a party shuns someone!
I feel safe assuming that whatever he’s doing it’s fake, the only question is who’s supposed to be in on it. Maybe the “conservative intellectual” grift was too obvious a fig leaf for his Nazi ass so he’s switched to a “liberal centrist” grift?
So jd vance thinks the ancestors of most white americans today should have been mass deported? Or is he raising the point that the people he wants to mass deport are much less inclined to criminality? Strange guy. bsky.app/profile/notd...
Posting a shitty taco bowl from his shitty hotel on Cinco de Mayo was A+ race trolling—reduced Mexico to a culinary stereotype in a way that was 100% obnoxious yet impossible to articulate w/o sounding oversensitive. But now he’s senile & they’re complacent & we’re crushing them at their own game
Of course it helps that no sane person could believe that there’s anything “racist” about a white guy and his running mate making mayo-too-spicy jokes, so their whining just makes the party of manly might and enforced normalcy sound both wimpy and unhinged
For a guy who is constantly saying I WILL NEVER SURRENDER, he sure does a lot of surrendering. I have never met anyone who surrenders as much as Donald Trump
Oppo research on Vance: Here's a white nationalist podcast from last year where he talked about the innate savagery of the Irish brain
Oppo research on Walz: He said mayo is too spicy but my team has found evidence he used garlic powder in a soup he made in 2014
The thing is, once somebody proposes restricting the freedom of women to travel from one state to another, we actually don’t have to care about their ideas about marginal tax brackets or international trade or whatever
It's one of my favorite Trumpisms, going back years: the dude cannot shut up about how much disdain he has for soldiers who were wounded or killed.
It's so perfect, first because he thinks it at all, and second because he also thinks it's a totally normal thing to say in public.
