See, this is (one reason) why I could never be a politicianâŚ
âŚI figured it was self-evident that China (and probably Mexico, and any other country that had the least indication that Trump might target them) would have spent the last four years and more taking steps specifically to lessen the potential impact of US tariffs, simply because it wouldnât hurt in a Biden win and it really wouldnât hurt in a Trump win.
Granted, Trump threw a bit of a curve ball by lashing out at the entire world rather than specific targets, but still.
Trump and Rubio take credit for ceasefire. India and Pakistan do not agree.
This is a picture because the Times of India does not let you copy text out of their articles.
Being more stupid than your opponents planned for can definitely confuse them, but it rarely actually gives you any advantage.
âShe was⌠putting inappropriate books in the library for childrenâŚâ
And not one person pointed out that a) the Library of Congress receives copies of most every book published in America*, and b) itâs not a fucking lending library; to access the collection one has to be at least 16 to get a card⌠The White House isnât even trying to come up with plausibly non-racist justifications.
*Even if they donât keep them all.
Hart was briefly a speechwriter for Nixon. But later in life, he opposed George W. Bush and supported both Kerry and Obama. In spite of the racism in that op-ed, he doesnât seem like he would have supported Trump. But yeah, the current head of the Civil Rights Division, Harmeet Dhillon, was the editor of the Dartmouth Review while an undergrad, and Hart created that publication and modeled it after Buckleyâs National Review. Anyway, while she was editor, they ran an article comparing the treatment of conservatives at Dartmouth to the Holocaust. And the President of Dartmouth at the time was Jewish, so it didnât go over very well.
Not even teying to put a fig leaf on it anymore. Holy shitâŚ
The emoluments clause was cremated.
Iâm sure the fitted it out with surveillance tech - and a self destruct remote.
And they can stop shipping all the guns while theyâre at it.
John Cleese Jokes About Hanging Stephen Miller âBy The Neckâ
Updated May 11 2025 4:09AM EDT
âŚBIT EXTREME?The British actor pulled no punches tearing into the white supremacist turned White supremacist turned White House aide over proposed rollbacks on constitutional protections for vulnerable migrants.
Veteran British comedian John Cleese went to a pretty dark place responding to a White House aideâs proposal for nixing constitutional rights afforded to migrants in custody.
âI see Stephen Miller says he is actively thinking about suspending âhabeas corpus,ââ Cleese posted on X. âAs this has been the keystone of the Rule of Law for centuries, Iâd like to suggest that we actively think about suspending Stephen Miller.â
âPreferably by the neck,â he added.
The message has since been removed from X.
âremoved from Xitterâ because they realize that with stephen miller it requires a wooden stake through his non-existent heart?
Stopped clock and all. I expected Cleese to side with Miller.
Please someone trip and fall on the button while TFG is aboard.
yes indeed. i ~know of Cleeseâs not so good political alignment. curious how often we witness the most âclearâ attacks on the right from folks weâd likely associate as âfrom the rightâ. no caution for political correctness, perhaps? -sigh-
Iâm really reaching here, but I think the only tiny benefit from these things will be that the practices they promote are likely to kill you more quickly than the coronary disease, diabetes, and cancer that a lot of the overprocessed âfoodâ will result in?
I say this, because of course, they will promote raw milk|water|meat, etc, but they wonât restrict business interests selling the things causing many of those chronic illnesses.
Heâs an asshole, but not even your average asshole thinks Stephen Miller deserves more than scraping off the bottom of your shoes.
