"Women are too emotional to be president" said the people who elected the most emotionally unstable man that they could find and thought that his emotional instability was exciting.

She would never, but imagine what the legacy media would have said if President Hillary Clinton had obsessively spent time on social media going on about how young she looks... during a war.
Helen KennedyHe's now on one of his insane posting sprees - several about how young he looks, a doctored photo of Springsteen to make him look old (such dignified presidential behavior), posts about his dumb monuments, several posts showing him as George Washington or with an alien, and a threat to Greenland.
So long as Iran confines its cyber attacks to US states whose electoral college votes went for Kamala Harris, Donald Trump won't care.
The New York TimesBreaking News: Water supplies in at least seven U.S. states were targeted by cyberattacks that officials say appear to be the work of Iran.
This is so irrational that it has made Third Way sound completely rational.
VoteHubNEW — Montana Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Alani Bankhead tells POLITICO that “absolutely nothing” would make her leave the race, barring a “lightning bolt from God” striking her. Polls show a close head-to-head race between independent Seth Bodnar and Republican Kurt Alme.
The past ten years have been a nonstop parade of people taking their masks off to show us all who they really are, and a lot of people folded when the principles they claimed to hold finally got tested.
Sky Marchiniamnesty's entire schtick is standing up to evil dictators and they fold immediately to jk rowling; i don't really trust their commitment to stand up to dictators www.amnesty.org.uk/latest/an-ap...
Still feel completely comfortable with my assessment, especially now that the American Right is trying to besmirch the Union Army.

“[Susan Collins] also voted against an amendment in early June that would have required bodycams.” Not arguing that an ad where this single sentence is just repeated 20 times is the most creative ad that we can come up with, but it’s vastly more justifiable than doing nothing.
Greg Sargent“If Collins wants credit for a body-cam headline, she can start by explaining why she voted to fund ICE with a blank check and zero accountability," Troy Jackson's campaign tells me. Dems haven't decided whether to run ads attacking Collins on ICE going forward. newrepublic.com/article/2138...
I know that there are white elected Democrats who want to stick to their comfort zone—affordability, "kitchen table issues", etc.—but Democratic voters basically want to hear "Every single fucking one of you we will put in jail" and "we going to go through every single file, son" at this point.

If you're still downplaying the importance of voting for Hillary Clinton ten years later (as is happening in the replies here), you're displaying a psychology fundamentally indistinguishable from anti-vaxxer psychology. You still don't care that you endangered yourself and other people.
Alexander RossThree nominees to the Supreme Court. That's a political success, and that's the political success that Hillary Clinton voters were warning everybody about.
Before there were reports of a suspected Iranian cyberattack on the state of Minnesota, there was Donald Trump using the United States federal government to attack the state of Minnesota. That’s our reality. Donald Trump attacked Minnesota first.
Aaron RuparTrump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."
Obviously Democratic voters are the political demographic most opposed to the local construction of data centers, but even the majority of Republican voters overall are opposed on this issue too.
Aaron RuparHassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."
Barack Obama gave people health care, and the majority of white voters who vote GOP just processed this as a violation of caste rules that needed to be punished (via electing Donald Trump). Before GOP voters were mad at Dr. Fauci for saving them during a viral pandemic, there was this.
Faine Greenwoodit’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank
Republicans can't be trusted to weigh in on apocalyptic scenarios when their response to a lethal viral pandemic was to help it win.
Aaron RuparBARTIROMO: It feels like we're moving into a Terminator-type world HASSETT: I hope not and I think not. AI companies definitely have an incentive not to destroy the world. That would destroy their companies too.
The only way to deal with Donald Trump’s base in a democratic society is to show up to out-vote them forever.
ri-ndexYou’ve really got to wonder though, about the 27%-43%, and what it means to live in a country with that many people who think this is all fine.
I know that the observation that “Donald Trump’s base is excited by Donald Trump’s corruption to the extent that they consider enabling it to be a voting priority” doesn’t paint a rosy picture of what Republican voters want, but this is what they want.
Greg SargentTrump makes his corruption open and explicit on purpose: It helps normalize and numb people to it, and puts our institutions on notice that they need to bend the knee to him. Check out this exchange with @leahlitman.bsky.social on this point: newrepublic.com/article/2138...
Imagine if a Democratic official said something along the lines of, "Shut up about the prices of meat and buy liver." Fox News would be calling this 'Livergate.'
FactPostRFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef: "Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver"
