“We *could* follow the Constitution to rein in Mr. Trump, but saying “no” to Trump riles up the irascible hillbillies and then we lose power and can’t take away their healthcare.

That’s nothing compared to the time I traded for Scott Kazmir in 2006 *immediately before* he went on the DL (still the DL in 2006; ergo technically correct)
Wrobleski gave up eight homers in his first 16 starts. He’s given up six in his last eight innings. The difference? @huecub.bsky.social traded for him in our fantasy league.
this is actually the wife-beatingest reply possible. this is the platonic ideal of how a guy who beat his wife would respond to a question about beating his wife.
Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."
"If I abused her, why would she then act in a way designed to avoid abuse?"
Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"
One drum I keep beating is that the Trumpification of the Republican Party is irreversible. Even after he's gone it will be exclusively cranks, charlatans, and malevolent antisocial goons. "It was always like that"-it wasn't! It's gotten steadily, measurably worse, and he was the nail in the coffin
New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...
Weird he can’t bring this kind of energy towards his colleague who is accused of beating up his daughter.
Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"
hundreds of millions got the COVID vaccine and there were so few problems that the main form of criticism turned into "friend-of-a-friend" hearsay stories, so this guy can't actually cite an actual case but knows his base will think they know people who know people this may have happened to
Sen. Roger Marshall: "Who didn't have a friend who took this vaccine and had some time of complication? A stroke, a blood clot, a young man getting some type of heart inflammation. That's what destroyed the trust in the American people for our government."
Just millions of X bots high fiving one another as GOP Senator after GOP Senator cook Fauci to his face...
This hearing is driven entirely by Elon Musk's algorithm. Not a single normie voter alive today has thought about Anthony Fauci for at least five years. On X this is a pressing issue - maybe the pressing issue - of the day. It doesn't matter at all.
Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"
Still insane to me that the GOP can gin up a moral panic about innocuous things like drag queen story time while we know Democrats would be eviscerated in the press if they ever started asking what the deal is with youth pastors getting arrested every week.
