Jon Stewart on Trump: “The day the electorate in this great nation we call home repudiates this putrid administration, the day that happens there will be a joyful noise from the bowels of this great country that will make Hungary’s repudiation of Orban look like an Amish Sabbath”
JF: One thing about the best art is that it often teaches you how to see it. The debacle of the DC reflecting pool is that it is clear those who sought to “improve” it actually never saw how magnificently it previously worked with the architecture around it. It’s not a pond, or a swimming pool. Sadly, that they can’t even remember what it’s called burnishes that impression.
Did Vance think he was going to solve decades of disputes with Iran in 1 day? He spent 5 days in Feb hanging out at the Winter Olympics. Iran got highest level negotiations with America ever and still controls the Strait of Hormuz, while Vance appears to be giving up.
Diplomacy takes enormous planning, technical expertise, and persistent engagement, especially in war time. Our servicemembers in harm's way and Americans struggling with gas prices deserve serious negotiations, not the performance we just saw.
The saddest thing in the world is projecting some kind of ideological fantasy onto Trump. Like he's clearly just some real estate hustler, you have to be the biggest sucker in the world to be like 'this guy will fulfill my dreams of American grandeur"
Jerry Bush coached Nebraska to a win over Wilt Chamberlain and KU in 1958.
68 years later, Bush’s grandson Fred Hoiberg coaches Nebraska to the first NCAA Tournament win in school history with his son Sam on the roster.
Nebraska basketball royalty.
If a Democratic president pardoned a violent criminal who went on to do something like this, it would be the biggest story in politics for weeks.
There would be a media feeding frenzy, hearings, and Dems would be asked to rebuke the President.
With Trump, its just crickets
TurboTax having a Super Bowl ad every year about how they make taxes simpler when they’re one of the main lobbyists to keep taxes complex so they can make even more money. Don’t pmo.
Kristi Noem in 2013, when she was just a midwestern uber Karen incessantly demanding to speak to manager, before her cosplay transformation into ICE Barbie and the purchase of her Mar-A-Lago face.
Ejecting Bovino did NOTHING and was not a "win." Fuck him, but the administration is not going to slow down. They are trying to get people to stop paying attention to what's going on.
It remains incomprehensible to me that any country still considering itself civilized allows federal officers to appear:
1. Masked;
2. Armed;
3. Without name tags;
4. Without any accountability.
ICE belongs to military dictatorships. Has Trump already brought the US there?
Sad.

The founding fathers were the OG liberals.
Some have been using "liberal" as a malapropism for "leftist" for so long (thanks, Rush Limbaugh) that they've forgotten what Liberalism actually *IS*.
Liberalism is the idea that THE PEOPLE are sovereign and their government exists to serve them, not the other way around.
