Gonna go out on a limb here and say racist cranks who write for extremist white nationalist websites like VDARE should not, in fact, be confirmed to top roles in the Department of Justice.

SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know

Hearings like this are a reminder that if you work for Donald Trump, you are a person of low character and have no integrity. There are no exceptions.

😮 Trump's nominees are the most pathetic men in the world 😮 During a hearing, Blumenthal made Trump nominees squirm by asking them who won the 2020 election -- a question they refuse to answer -- but then Schiff upped the ante by asking them *who won the 2016 election.* Here's a supercut:

Deeply interested in the social/psychological reasons why ppl like Musk or Trump are seemingly unique in being able to spew loads of documentably false bullshit and yet still have the exact same ppl they lied to before hang on their every new word

If you're a criminal/abuser/rapist, why *wouldn't* you run for office as a Republican at this point? The GOP is the most welcoming group on Earth for "people" like this.

Max Miller on why he's staying in the race: "When we go back to 2015 and 2016, & people in the media looked at President Trump, & everyone came out with allegations. Dozens of women, dozens of crazy allegations, dozens of nasty criminal misconduct. And you know what he did? He stayed in the fight."

I really think we gotta explore why Republicans keep voting for guys whose whole personas are "serial killer with a chip on his shoulder." What is it about these obvious pieces of shit that draws these voters in.

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

Sure the MAHA activists want to make it illegal for trans people to access hormones but they're so authentic and populist about it so

JLRay@jlray.bsky.social · 2d ago

Looks like another Republican is about to get kicked out of Congress for predatory or violent behavior toward women. No not Max Miller, the other one. No not Matt Gaetz, the other one. No not Paul Gosar, the oth www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

House panel seeks censure of Rep. Chuck Edwards over conduct toward female staff

Attorneys for the North Carolina Republican, who has denied wrongdoing, accused the Ethics Committee of reaching a rushed judgment and called its recommendation “extraordinarily harsh.”

It's absolutely insane we've somehow let the Covid recriminations debate become like "why didn't we reopen in person schools before there was a vaccine" and not "why did none of the trump guys go to jail for stealing PPE from New York hospitals in March 2020"

i'm also going to beg you to look at the calendar and see how much time on the clock congress has left; putting this up *now* puts congressional GOP in one hell of a bind, because they either have to agree to it and eat shit or scrap it and own another shutdown, there's not time for anything else

i am begging you — including some of you who follow me that i'm seeing in the OP QTs — to actually read what senate democrats are getting out of this and to stop and think for, like, at least 90 seconds, about what *else* you think a minority party *in both chambers* can squeeze out of the majority

stripping OMB of the ability to dole out grants is an enormous win, this nukes the SAVE act, it prohibits further ICE bailouts, adding a "no, really, trump can't break already on-the-books laws regarding elections the federal government doesn't run" clause would be both unnecessary and unproductive

every single day I am baffled by the fact that this man - this incredibly, astoundingly embarrassing man - is the one half the damn country built a cult of personality around

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a 70, & am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, bc I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it”

Trump: “The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I’m given very little time to practice, because I’m focused on many other things. It’s called TALENT, and I have it, and they don’t! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

i have more contempt for kennedy than someone like ron johnson, because kennedy’s occasional snide little digs at trump make clear that he knows exactly who trump is and doesn’t like him, but will almost never go against him

Sen. John Kennedy on Trump's blatant reflecting pool lies: "The president says it was caused by vandals. I don't know if he really believes that or it's part of his political messaging or he's just thinking out loud ... he grows anxious when he has an unexpressed thought."

“Liberals will always choose fascism over socialism” is one of this website’s conventional ways of saying “I am stupid and I prefer reading the opinions of other stupid people”. It is good when stupid people self-identify, so we should not complain when they do so

honestly having the biggest lol at jeanine pirro filing a twenty-page memo on a friday afternoon in july explaining how badly the trump administration fucked up "fixing" the reflecting pool

Ryan J. Reilly “paints a vivid and urgent portrait of… disarray”@ryanjreilly.com · 5d ago

BREAKING: The Trump administration has moved to drop its felony Reflecting Pool case against a former Olympic canoeist, admitting their allegations against David "Davey" Hearn don't hold water.
