I told my smart speaker to play WHAT A FOOL BELIEVES by the Doobie Bros for a particular reason. And now she’s just playing yacht rock songs and my kitchen sounds like “ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ADS: GREATEST HITS”

ICE deportation agent: “Just to be upfront, the goal is to put as many guns and badges out in the field as possible.”

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

Nation’s weird stepfather announces at dinner that no one appreciates his hard work, then sulks off to the guest room he claimed as his “den” to watch cable news all night while angrily mashing buttons on his phone.

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.

Protesters slam Fed spending Hundreds gather at Salem Tea Party to rally against bailouts, state-level taxes BY DENNIS THOMPSON JR. Statesman Journal Hundreds of people uneasy over the future of their country gathered on the state Capitol steps on Wednesday to protest federal spending and state-level taxation. Oregon State Police estimated more SCRAP THE CODE than 1,000 people attended the Salem Tea Party protest, which ran from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Organizers placed attendance at more than 2,000 people. The rally was passionate but peace-ful, although many people carried handmade signs bearing stark and angry messages. A fake wooden pitchfork read "Politicians take note. We the people are about to revolt." Anoth er sign read "200+ years to build the Republic, 3 mos. to destroy it." Many attendees said they were motivated to protest by the billions in stimulus spending and bailouts that have been doled out in recent months. Willy Lowman of Falls City wears a label on his head that reads "Scrap the Code" at the tea party protest. West Salem resident Steve Albin said he came to protest federal bailouts of banks and automakers. "They need to fail. That's what capitalism is all about," said Albin, who had a tea bag dangling from the brim See Protest, 2A Inside Protesters take part in Tea Party events across the nation, Page 2A Supporters to push for immigration reform, Page 2A • ONLINE: See photo galleries and a video from the protest at StatesmanJournal.com.

to this i would add a good amount of self-loathing stemming from a belief that liberal political views are somehow “inauthentic” or an affectation of “elites”

I agree with whoever said a rather under-appreciated dynamic is the extent to which Professional Politics Opinion Havers flat out just find the left interpersonally irritating in a way they do not find the right so, and I think a lot of the talk of a vibe shift was wish-casting their irritants away.
