Sincere question: do Trump supporters who genuinely want to reduce political violence actually think that lobbing transparently hypocritical accusations about the left's rhetoric is in any way effective?

Are we really gonna go through another cycle where MAGA folks point out incendiary rhetoric on the left without ever acknowledging that some of the most violent and incendiary rhetoric in America comes from the President and his supporters? Do you not think the rest of the country has eyes and ears?

It's truly awful that President Trump has been the target of political violence. It's also truly awful how he's frequently talked about his political opponents: accusing them of treason, amplifying calls for their execution, publicly celebrating their death, calling them scum, garbage, vermin, animals. It was like 3 weeks ago that he threatened the annihilation of an entire civilization! It was just a few months ago that he and his White House knowingly smeared two Americans who'd been killed by federal agents as domestic terrorists!

I hate political violence. I hate what happened last night. Probably 99% of Americans agree. But let's not insult everyone's intelligence by pretending that the most powerful person in the world isn't a huge part of the problem here.

Awesome old footage of Tre Johnson defending Brad Johnson in a melee during the Redskins/Lions 2000 Wild Card Game. Crazy to think Tre's now gone.

This is wild to me. Mike Rutenberg started w/ #Redskins in 2003 (same as me) as an intern and later assistant to Joe Gibbs. Everyone was rooting for him but I bet no one saw a DC gig in his future. Players called him "Rudy" and yes, there was once a "Rudy" chant after practice.

It was my honor to get to know Sonny Jurgensen. Sat next to him many times on team plane to away games. We chatted football, life, movies. I'm sure I gathered a few quotes from him for the #Redskins website. Sonny was friendly to everyone, a legend on and off the football field.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

J.D. “JUST DANCE” VANCE, WHO NOBODY LIKED UNTIL TRUMP PICKED HIM OUT OF THE "BARGAIN BIN" IN THE WALMART CLEARANCE SECTION, WENT ON FOX TO TRASH ME, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR GOVERNOR. THE DANCING QUEEN CAN’T STOP! I LIVE RENT-FREE IN HIS HEAD (VERY TINY SPACE, ALMOST NO ROOM WITH "THE COUCH"). HE IS VERY WEAK... THE GUY CAN'T RUN, TAKES MORE "VACATIONS" THAN ANY VICE PRESIDENT IN HISTORY (AND WE’VE HAD SOME LAZY ONES!), GOT CAUGHT TAKING PHOTOS IN THE BATHROOM (VERY SICK!) AFTER APPLYING HIS EYELINER AND WEARS A COMMUNIST RED SHIRT. PERFECT, SINCE "CHAIRMAN TRUMP" NOW OWNS INTEL AND TELLS HIM WHAT TO WEAR. WHY DOES FOX AIR THIS NONSENSE? THEY EDIT THE TAPES, AND EVEN TRY TO MAKE HIM LOOK "SMART," BUT HE IS A TOTAL JOKE. FOX SHOULD BE ASHAMED. STOP GIVING AIRTIME TO A TOTAL LOSER. HIS TIME WOULD BE BETTER SPENT PRACTICING FOR HIS SOON “DEBUT” ON DANCING WITH THE STARS. EVERYONE’S LAUGHING AT HIM, BELIEVE ME! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GCN

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

Trump’s never clipped a coupon or worried about a Walmart receipt in his life. But maybe he should…

His reckless tariffs are jacking up prices on everything from groceries to strollers.

He owns this economy.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

You gotta give it to Republicans, they don’t play fair, they play to win.

They’ll rewrite the rules, drag out the clock, flip votes at gunpoint (figuratively), and call it patriotism.

Meanwhile, Democrats are stuck performing moral theater for a crowd that left the show a decade ago.

Here’s the brutal truth:
Getting what you want in this world is a function of will, not decorum.

And Republicans? They understand that. Democrats? Still clinging to a compass while the other side’s using a crowbar.

It’s time to stop begging for fairness from people who eat fairness for breakfast.
No more symbolic gestures. No more “holding the line” while losing the war.

Play tough. Move fast. Hit back.
Or stay losing.

What the ... Former WFT WR Rod Gardner, 'ol 50-50 himself, the guy with the cellphone seemingly attached to his ear, is on The Amazing Race! 🤯 #Random #BlastFromThePast

[Startup Archive @StartupArchive_]

Steve Jobs explains the importance of both thinking and doing

“The doers are the major thinkers. The people who really create the things that change this industry are both the thinker-doer in one person.”

This is applicable outside of tech too, and he uses Leonardo da Vinci as an example:

“Did Leonardo have a guy off to the side that was thinking five years into the future about what he would paint or the technology he would use to paint it? Of course not. Leonardo was the artist, but he also mixed his own paints. He also was a fairly good chemist and knew about pigments and human anatomy. Combining all of those skills together—the art and the science, the thinking and the doing—is what resulted in the exceptional result… There is no difference in our industry. The people that have really made the contributions have been the thinkers and the doers.”

Jobs speculates that one of the reasons people mix this up is because it’s easy to take credit for the thinking:

“It’s very easy for someone to say ‘I thought of this three years ago.’ But usually when you dig a little deeper you find that the people who really did it were also the people who worked through the hard intellectual problems.”

So those are some of my random thoughts at the end of the DS tenure as WFT owner. There are plenty more stories and comments, but I've long since moved on. And I know WFT fans are moving on, too. That’s all I got for now.

Cheers! 25/

[Gary Fitzgerald 🎟 @GaryRFitzgerald]

I never thought the day would come that Dan Snyder would sell WFT. From what I understood, he planned to own the franchise for life. So it does feel like an end to an era, not just for DS. But for myself, too, in that I became involved with WFT through his ownership.

A thread 1/

[Gary Fitzgerald 🎟 @GaryRFitzgerald]

I initially viewed the incident as DS wanting to stop any hint of a QB controversy and position RGIII as the team's unquestioned Day 1 starter and leader. Knowing what we know now, it also seems likely there was displeasure that the Shanahans drafted Cousins, period. 24/
