Remember how angry the Right got when a DHS report that began production during Bush 43's second term warned us about a wave of right wing terrorism? It’s a lot angier and more deadly 10 years later. I’m starting to think that it is much bigger than the resurgence we saw during the Clinton era (Northern Plains “Militia…

NYP was just re-ranked by US News and World Report from the 8th best hospital in the US to the 5th. This would be a brief bit of bad news for them. But I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that healthcare providers don’t hang out on 4Chan. Law enforcement does.

Here ya go. Notice that I nor Marcy Wheeler are saying what exactly caused this to happen. We can’t judge on negligence yet. I did say signs, so in my opinion, this is criminal negligence. It could be overwork. It could be budget cuts. It could be not following protocol. It could be corruption. But this is the second…

If we know this, you bet your ass the FBI knows a lot more. And signs point to one or more people in Federal agencies granting Epstein his request for a second chance to do what he wanted to do. The FBI is going to find whoever posted this. Stay tuned.

I hope this individual does not work at NYP Lower Manhattan…

“I was never there.”

Considering that all Trump does is lie, I don’t believe this statement. Chncs are, it is correct, because Trump prefered to fly his own plane and is a germaphobe, etc. But he should not get a complete pass. For decades now, we should always assume Trump means the opposite of what he is saying…

Yes, assuming he got his card by writing for television or film.

This should destroy AG Barr. But it won’t. 

Trump is easy to decipher. He loves law enforcement and the military, and that establishes a reliable, right wing base. He’s much more comfortable praising the “fast response” by the police rather than comfort victims and their kin. It’s a fetish. He collects military challenge coins. he loves military and police…

Emptywheel has some good, plausible theories about why such large raids were conducted in Mississippi, rather than California or some other blew state. Seems some of the workers detained had just voted to unionize. And it seems that some counties in Mississippi might be leaning Democratic after decades and decades.

All this dramatic, psychotic behaviour, and he won’t retire with a winning record. The Jets will probably go 7-9 this season. I learned when I saw Rudy Giuliani boasting that he only slept 4 hours per night (this was way before a 767 flew into my building), to never judge a man by the quantity of waking hours he puts…

I sent in my dues to Antifa today, just for this bullshit. It’s time to break some white nationalist skulls if they march into my city. 

Well lookey here, David Tracy writing about a Jeep without a solid axle. Just joking around. I know there isn’t a junkyard BU Renegade in your future. Even in a post fossil fuel, post FCA world.  

Peter Wehner at The Atlantic has a good piece today that points out that Trump is far angrier and levels of magnitude more enraged than Abraham Lincoln, who of course, was waging a devastating war to re-unite the Union.

Own it, GOP. Don’t tell these people to resign. Embrace the madness. You have and need them in all your ranks. Own it.

Has mankind ever stopped a looming resource catastrophe?

Shorter Mister Sterling: Republicans are Dipshit.

Of all people, a band that had a number one song 20 years ago this week had the best response to deGrasse Tyson’s tweet.

Even if things were as positive and rosy as you say (which they are not), I cannot tolerate economic growth in exchange for a president this angry, negative and destructive. He has done nothing to sell himself to the near 66 Million people who voted against him in 2016. He insults and spews hate towards the majority…

Tree of Life, Pittsburgh. Walmart, El Paso. This is his legacy. The theme of his life as an elected official has killed some of us. Let’s put aside the fact that the worst gun massacre in modern US history also happened on his watch. And that was just a depressed, suicidal white guy who figured out that higher…
