If you've noticed a lot of conservatives contradicting things they used to say or stand for, it's because they've been sitting around thinking, "I'll lose my audience if I don't go where I see them heading." And that, to their shame, determines what they say next.

In 2006, Hugo Chávez traveled to the U.N. and called George W. Bush "the devil," etc. This is what Charlie Rangel, one of Bush's fiercest critics in the House, said:

"George Bush is the president of the United States and represents the entire country. Any demeaning public attack against him is viewed by Republicans and Democrats, and all Americans, as an attack on all of us."

Nancy Pelosi expressed similar sentiments, adding, "Hugo Chávez fancies himself a modern-day Simón Bolívar, but all he is is an everyday thug."

Trump has yukked it up with Kim Jong-un over Biden, and yukked it up with Xi Jinping, also over Biden. If a Democratic president did the equivalent, Republicans would cry bloody murder -- correctly.

Can Republicans rise to the level of Rangel and Pelosi? They should be ashamed that the question need be asked.

If that was a van full of drones, we would have woken up to a substantial number of burning B1s. We had better get our shit together.

There is no precedent for the federal government taking an incumbent president’s actual campaign material, purchasing national TV airtime for it during a campaign, and putting “Paid for by the U.S. Government” at the end.

It’s wrong. It’s theft. It’s un-American.

#TBT to me and a fellow Christopher – Walken, that is – during a celebrated run of Macbeth that Joe Papp put together for Lincoln Center Theater in 1974. Our castmates included Peter Weller, Carol Kane, John Heard and James Tolkan.

@niallpta "This" masterpiece, "this terrible movie". And no one said the name of the movie. I dont know when social media became this guessing game.

🚨HERO: On April 22, 2018, James Shaw Jr. walked into a Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee, expecting nothing more than breakfast. Minutes later, gunfire erupted inside the restaurant.

Four people had already been killed, and the gunman was still holding an AR-15-style rifle. Most people ran. Shaw made a split-second decision.

Unarmed, he charged the shooter, grabbed the rifle by its burning-hot barrel with his bare hands, and fought until he wrested the weapon away. His hands were severely burned, but he did not let go. The gunman fled. Shaw’s actions almost certainly prevented further loss of life.

The country called him a hero. Shaw refused the title. He said he was simply trying to survive and protect the people around him. Instead of seeking attention, he launched a fundraiser that raised more than $200,000 for the victims’ families. He continued speaking about healing and supporting communities affected by violence.

The headlines have long since faded. Many no longer remember the name. But courage like James Shaw Jr.’s should never be forgotten.

You're looking live at El Niño going "full-tilt" to start meteorological fall. Once in a lifetime event.

Three monster hurricanes in E. Pacific w/Hawaii splitting the uprights.

Moisture from Hurricane Marie is going to inundate U.S. desert Southwest with major monsoon!

This is a huge NYT investigation into how Russia uses shell companies and Tether, a crypto coin, to evade sanctions and buy arms.

What it doesn't mention is that the main U.S. backer of Tether is Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Howard Lutnick's sons. https://t.co/ivQhkhKhU4

Colonel, good morning.

Stand by our story, which weeks ago reported accurately that you three had part-time government roles that neither you nor the Pentagon disclosed to the public, even as you continued to write on military affairs. As you know, we sought clarification and explanation from all of you ahead of publication.

Our story did not report that you were paid for your messaging. The story reported that you were affiliated with the Pentagon and you and the institution withheld that, even when asked. That was and remains true.

I've discussed the specifics before, including on Fox. Here's that clip, where they credit our reporting.

Have a good one.

On the other hand, Don Jr got his wedding paid for so who’s to say if this is bad.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

This is extraordinarily stupid. No one is attacking Ovi for not speaking out against Russia's vicious war of aggression against Ukraine. They are criticizing him, justifiably, for choosing to appear in an insane political ad actively justifying that war of aggression.

A guy appears in a campaign video for Putin’s ruling party alongside Lavrov, and this is the best the Washington Capitals could come up with. Absolutely shameless.

[Anders Larsson @LegatDumar]

@hates_usa @thedailymemes_ I think he reported the guy for bad behavior, but it’s kind of illegible. Get killed, report out of spite automatically.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

The nature of the Trump family has been clear since before 2016. Why has it taken so many people so long to understand it?
One could pose the same question about Viktor Orban

[Kareem Rifai 🌐 @KareemRifai]

Controversial take: I do not think we should have a Secretary of the Army who uncritically retweets Russian intelligence operations on his official government account.
