That’s so fascinating because it’s the essential Trump. He can barely read any more, he sees an X when he looks at a K because the synaptic pathways are all fouled up, but sometimes he realizes he made a mistake so he tries to quickly invent some new context where both of the things he said are correct because of course he can never be wrong.

We have to keep reminding ourselves how much better off the entire world is, now that crazy grandpa no longer has the keys to the nuclear arsenal.

Oh, there’s plenty of essence there, that much is certain.

Worst outcome from the trump years. Thanks everyone who didn’t bother showing up to vote in 2016.

I was a child when that happened and was unaware of it until it was mentioned on MSNBC yesterday. It was mentioned a few times. I just finished watching Brian Williams’ program from last night and one of his guests talked about it.
Yep. Passing the voting rights bills would go a long way toward never again electing another Republican president.

Huge props to TPM for covering the racist undertones of the Babbitt martyrdom over a month ago, pointing out how GOP operatives had already assumed the officer who killed her was black, thus crafting an “innocent white woman attacked by vicious black man” narrative. You all called attention to this in July! Now I wonder who leaked Lt. Byrd’s info to GOP circles…
I’m proud of Lt. Byrd for speaking out, but oh god they’re all gonna lose their minds, aren’t they.

This is where the Virginia governor’s race is right now… No wonder the VA GOP and the Youngkin campaign are desperately, pathetically trying to distract attention.

It was on MSNBC last night. Can’t recall which program but maybe Lawrence O’Donnell’s. He did hit on the Vietnam evacuation.

We have a big problem in the institutional news media. How to fix it? Stop watching. Stop buying the shit they hawk that you probably don’t need anyway.

Many voters weren’t even getting to that second part about Trump being harmless. They just didn’t like her, period. I remember a TV interview with some rural guy in the Midwest who said he wasn’t voting for Trump, he was voting against Hillary.

Oh, come Matt. I know you definitely keep an arsenal of colorful words and phrases to overstate your relief and gratitude!

The media never wanted to look at themselves after Iraq and they never wanted to look at themselves after Trump. Both have had and will have horrible consequences for the rest of us.

In a contest with so many worthy competitors, Josh Hawley just might be the single most duplicitous individual in the US Senate (with nods to Ted Cruz and Lindsay Graham, of course):

And “We need someone to shake things up down there.” I always enjoyed that one. But strangely he never really shook anything up all that much, did he? He really didn’t do much at all.
