Dude, I didn’t discover the existence of Straighter Than Hallmark until this past New Year’s and what the ever loving hell, man…

It rules that the Full House lady left Hallmark for Great American because the conservetive-coded Hallmark had gotten too gay (one gay couple) and Woke in recent years for her Christian-right tastes, but I promise you that the same thing will happen to her at her current home…

Sincerely believe that I have my fingers more firmly on the political instincts and pulse of non-Hispanic white america than you do because I take the time to watch Hallmark and Great American Family movies. I know where the next Jan. 6 is happening but you do not

It’s not gonna happen but it would be insanely funny if Biden loses then does Exactly to the letter the same things Trump did after Election Day 2020, with the exact same measures and same death toll and all, then have the right scream about how wrong that was, after years of saying Jan. 6 was cool

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

Just saw someone refer to Alistair Campbell as “leftwing” and well that’s them unfollowed

gotta be honest I haven’t been paying close attention but from I’ve picked up on from random skeets, the UK Labour Party is about to win a historic victory against a bafflingly stupid Conservative Party, so that the Labour Party can outlaw bud light for being too woke and gay as fuck?

"According to Nixon aide John Dean, “the new ruling, in effect, decriminalizes Nixon’s conduct during the Watergate scandal.” donmoynihan.substack.com/p/strongman-...

For no reason at all I've found myself thinking about John Dean's August 16, 1971 Nixon administration memorandum entitled “DEALING WITH OUR POLITICAL ENEMIES." Presumably such memos have now been deemed totally legal and cool by the Supreme Court.

Good. Let's hope this is the beginning of the downfall of "stings" in general, the most loathsome tactic in the cop arsenal.

Not that anyone is asking me, but I have no idea what the Democrats should do right now. All the options seem bad, and there isn’t one that seems less bad than the others. And as a professional opinion-haver, it’s disorienting to have no strong opinion about something so enormously consequential.

This is also a lesson in why assessing the character or motivation of confidential sources needs to be rigorously weighted against public interest. Michael’s plan was to have the mob leak to the newspapers after the hit about atrocious police corruption, involvement with organized crime & drugs…

“Still, the sources add, they do generally feel more confident in their legal theories than in the past, ever since Trump stacked the judiciary with right-wing jurists.” Latest from @andrewperez.bsky.social and me: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Right-Wingers Plan to Make it Difficult for Democrats to Replace Bidenwww.rollingstone.com If Democrats want to choose a new nominee, experts don’t believe the Heritage Foundation can stop them — but that may not be the point.

“A senior source involved with…Trump’s 2024 effort… and another person working with the Heritage-based Project 2025 (the conservative policy agenda project) tell Rolling Stone that the point of these multi-pronged legal attack plans and potential blitz of challenges isn’t necessarily to win…”
