He looks just like my cousin Per Reuters.

This fucker was arrested in Arkansas today:

I thought it was a plea to continue their tax cuts.

I do think there really is something wrong with her, and, having witnessed panic attacks that looked very similar, I totally buy she was having a panic attack. However, it’s also clear she 100% believes she has every right to go around demanding random strangers empty their pockets.

I think there’s a toxic mix of some…

Not a real one, but a great joke:

The interview itself was somewhat hilarious just due to how committed Ponsetta was in making herself look worse. My favorite part was when she explained that she just decided to ask people about their phones while the manager was looking through his data on the phone in order ‘to do her part to help’. Which, you know,…

who she claims is just “very young” and “emotionally unwell”

Holy shit. Way to argue you didn’t disrespect a black person by disrespecting another black person. She really should've let her lawyer do the talking. Also, um... Daddy? This girl is The Worst.

Does it really matter if she is white? I think it’s the skin color of the other person, and the influence that has on the attacker’s decision to attack, that dictates whether it was racially motivated.

It’s like why astronauts have to ride an exercise bike when they’re in space for a long time. If they don’t, the muscles will atrophy. And the Republicans haven’t had to make a cogent, consistent argument in forever, because their base will just believe anything they say without question. I think most Republicans have…

People keep wondering if you “can have Trumpism without Trump.” There’s just no way. You’d basically need a 1992 Mazda Miata to come to life and start being racist to capture the sort of pretend luxury, name recognition, and racial grievance that Trump was able to capitalize on. It’s basically the same questions as…

Well Hawley, who is a “constitutional lawyer” with a JD from Yale Law, is already claiming just that...

Five people.  One more than Benghazi.  I don’t think I need to point out the difference in GOP reactions.

Trumpers should be fine with this, since they’re all antifa, right?

A pretty good take. Americans willfully believe the lie that “this is not who we are” because failing to believe the lie leads to “well, if that IS who we are, why aren’t I doing anything to improve?”.

Kinda like the old “if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck...” addage.

I was thinking on this Ashli Babbitt thing, and the three other people who died at the Capitol, and it keeps bothering me for a lot of reasons (like how the MAGA crowd now has martyrs, which...greeeat). Not specifically the shoot itself (it will likely be classified as a justified shooting, and considering she was…

I used to think “this is not who we are.” Then I realized what I was saying is “this is not who I wish we were.”

Here is a moment of levity and heart:

You can’t have second thoughts when you never have first ones.
