The Atlantic is sanewashing.
RFK Jr. isn't some wide-eyed visionary with boldly controversial ideas. He's a dangerous lunatic and a con artist. His anti-vax lies have killed people. He falsely claimed that the Jews invented COVID. He falsely claimed that antidepressants cause all school shootings. This is all batshit crazy, and it's a profound danger to humanity.

Interesting.

You s'pose these three questions were all asked in the same questionnaire? It seems like maybe people don't understand how numbers work.

I agree, it's not a joke. Furthermore, we all have a moral obligation to refrain from posting articles about Trump's so-called "jokes."
He is president for life now. That is not normal. Anyone who writes or posts an article about "joking about a third term" is amplifying a lie, and normalwashing one of history's worst disasters.

After he frees the January 6 insurrectionists, he could order them to murder every Democrat in Congress, pardon them, and then reward them with cabinet positions. There's absolutely nothing that anybody could do to stop him.

Here's our disastrously defective American political press, admitting to its own failure.
Donald Trump doesn't understanding anything about economics. He's cognitively incapable of comprehending how tariffs work, what causes inflation, or anything else that isn't a direct statement about his own greatness or worthlessness.
If the press were doing its job, American voters would know that.

Elon Musk is not religious at all. However, he is now describing himself as a "cultural Christian."

"Protesters were violently beating on the office doors, shouting loudly, and attempting to force entry into the office."
This is what Netanyahu hoped to achieve, when he arranged to fly to Washington and campaign for Trump tomorrow: As much violence and destruction as possible.
You can be damned sure that at least a few of these violent protests were organized by the Kremlin.

"Fake electors get tapped as GOP convention delegates."
Our country failed to respond to the Republican Party's January 6 coup attempt, and we're all just pretending that it didn't happen.
The GOP stands by the coup, has only doubled down on its support since it happened, and they've told us they're going to do it again.

This reads to me like Mr. Kuo is a dozen steps behind in the destruction of our democracy.
The Republican thugs who attacked hundreds of police officers at our Capitol have also threatened many, many other elected and unelected government officials.
We keep trying to pretend that the GOP is still a legitimate political party, and not a revolutionary terrorist group. That's an idiotic mistake.

As we've discussed, Republicans don't really care about abortion per se. It's a fake issue that they manufactured solely in order to consolidate their political power.
Therefore, their cruelty against women has no endpoint. The GOP will never judge that abortion rights have been sufficiently curtailed and then rest on their laurels.
Anyone who says they're voting for a third-party candidate, or not voting at all, is announcing that they're okay with this cruelty.

@npub1lzz…jhl3 Well, I think the GOP doesn't really object to abortion per se. They're leveraging cruelty against women as a means of gaining political power. Doing that has produced a powerful voter backlash against abortion rights restrictions, but not really against the Republican Party. So, to the extent that voters' values have been uncoupled from their actions, the GOP's abortion strategy is working.

How can Oliver Willis say it won't work? It already DID work. But not because of anything the Republicans did.
When the Dobbs decision broke, the Pro-Republican Left used a massively coordinated campaign of anti-Democratic Party lies to convert pro-abortion rights rage into anti-abortion rights action. So now, voters turn out overwhelmingly to support pro-abortion rights resolutions, but they're still letting Republicans win elections.

Quick Reminder:
When someone says "both parties are basically the same, so I'm going to cast a third-party protest vote," they're saying, "I really don't care if children's bodies are torn to shreds in their classrooms by assault rifle fire. That's not important to me."
We should all react accordingly.

Trump has been publicly tampering with witnesses for years. He does it *because* it's illegal.
He loves getting caught committing crimes. It gives him an opportunity to demonstrate that he's above the law, and he can do whatever he wants without fear of consequences.

Did Joyce Vance opine on why Luttig's testimony might matter?
Pence is committed to protecting Trump. Pence fought DOJ's subpoena, just to protect Trump. Pence says he'll support Trump's candidacy if Trump wins the nomination, and he will.
For two years, Garland ran a sham investigation of January 6 that shielded the GOP. He may have had no other option, with most of the FBI supporting the insurrection. At this point, I think it's too late for indictments to even matter.
