I’m an American liberal with no tolerance for the intolerable.

So if you’re a populist, whether from the fascist end of the horseshoe or the socialist one, just move along.

If you engage, you’ll only wind up blocked. Don’t waste my time with your nonsense.

It’s not perpetual motion, but this globe does spin endlessly without batteries or otherwise being plugged in to anything.

Kevin Drum on his blog posted on a rapid shift of men's social & political views towards "conservatism" in social & political views from 2021 to 2023 & opines that it is hard to understand.

No, Kevin, this is depressingly easy to understand. These men aren't "conservative", they are looking for a political home where the bigotry they have known better than to say out loud is being proudly claimed. In this case, it's the anti-abortion push by the GOP.

BREAKING: Mar-a-Lago’s Drained Pool Has Been Refilled With MAGA Tears

If the federal government can prosecute a former president for breaking the law and bragging about it on tape, then they can do the same thing to you.

I have never been a supporter of Donald Trump, but if he keeps getting indicted, I will have no choice but to vote for him the third time.

Pat Robertson’s death raises serious questions over who will lead the charge to “blame the gays” for Trump’s federal indictment.

Today is the day that Donald Trump truly became president.

Our model now predicts that Trump will face four separate criminal indictments when he becomes the Republican nominee for president in 2024. And Nate tells you where to get the best well-done steak with ketchup in South Florida. All that and more on the next 538 podcast.

Stop using Reddit.

Stop using Twitter.

These services do not deserve your continued support by you participating and contributing to them in any way, shape or form.

Wow. Christmas in June.

And instead of coal, he gets indictments.

The Los Angeles district attorney's office said Thursday it has left Twitter due to a barrage of “vicious” homophobic attacks that were not removed by the social media platform even after they were reported. apnews.com/article/twitter-la- #press

Per Trusty (ht @kaitlancollins), 7 counts including:

18 USC 793 - NDI retention (disclosure?)
18 USC 1001 - false statements
18 USC 1512 - obstruction
18 USC 1519 - federal records shenanigans

possible “not biblically accurate”
18 USC 371 - conspiracy

I've used Reddit for 17 years and was on Twitter for 15 years and it's surprising how quickly they both imploded relative to their lifetimes, but also how little it bothers me to suddenly stop using either of them.

That's probably a good indication that I was consuming too much wasteful content on them every day and this is for the better.

Though I'm really sad to see @christianselig have his hard work shut down with no recourse, especially seeing how much he enjoyed working on Apollo over the years.

Nicolle Wallace is right - trump has been a national security threat since the day he was sworn in (actually, even before.) #msnbc #TrumpIndictment #trump

Happy federal indictment day to all who celebrate! And we should all celebrate.

Pat Robertson dead

Voting rights restored

Trump indicted on documents-related charges

Today has been a hat trick of yummy goodness.

This reveals McCarthy’s loyalty. He’s a traitor to the US (has been since he voted to overturn the 2020 pres. election): Today is indeed a dark day for the USA. It’s unconscionable for a Pres. to indict the leading candidate opposing him. Joe Biden kept classified documents for decades. I, & every American who believes in the rule of law, stand with Pres Trump against this grave injustice. House Rs will hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable.
