The Sydney Sweeney News Cycle Proves That Democrats Simply Can’t Win

I guess Trump will have to utterly crash the economy - as in Great Depression - for anything to change. People can choose between food and their beloved cable TV. Let’s see some breadlines. It’s going to take a while, but I suspect he’ll succeed by 2026. We’re just along for the ride and the misery. Fuck these people to hell.

I think TPM can do without covering Sweeney. This is one that will go away if we ignore it.

“Cornyn sent his letter to FBI Director Kash Patel…”

Where did he mail it to? And if it is via the USPS, it is still on a truck, and won’t be delivered for 5 more days.

And know he will pocket a Gold Medal. Or three…

That ad campaign isn’t a dog whistle or coded. It is clearly eugenics and honestly not worth commenting on beyond calling it what it is. Maybe an observation that the Rs are hoods off right now is warranted, but they have been off for a while now.

Is the cat one eyed ? I had a one eyed Siamese that was rescued as a kitten. One of the most amazing cats I ever encountered, Until he was killed by a vicious dog last year. I miss that cat so much…

Donald’s getting in on the Sydney action. But why is his crotch emerging from his side?

Don’t know where the caption came from.

Gee, my take on the Sydney Sweeney news cycle proves the Democrats can win, but I guess it 's how you interpet things.

BTW, if anyone else is finding that the link to the Politico interview in Fearless Editor’s latest EdBlog isn’t working, here’s what it ought to be:

Among other things, it will make a fine footnote for Justice Sotomayor’s next eloquently furious dissent.

ETA: Better idea. How about “refusing to vote for any legislation unless the White House actually disburses the facking funds that have already been voted on by our elected representatives according to the Constitutional order”?

But the American Eagle Sydney Sweeney ad is a racist dogwhistle, and a pretty obvious one at that. The ad copy writers knew exactly what they were doing and the kind of controversy it was going to stir up - you’d have to be pretty fucking dim not to know that a blond haired, blue eyed white woman crowing about her superior genes/jeans was a clear reference to eugenics and racist ideology. American Eagle and Sydney Sweeney were more than happy join in.

Remember Elon Musk last February denanding a weekly e-mail “5 bullets” report from every federal employee? He threatened that if people didn’t respond, it would be “taken as a resignation.”

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has given up. Nobody was reading these e-mails, and everyone thought it was stupid.
