Tim Kreider: "American conservatism is demographically terminal and knows it." Today's GOP is a last, panicked bid by a white male religious minority for permanent rule by any means including cheating and violence. To say you're a Republican is to say you have exactly two values: privilege and hate.

The MAGA movement is such a cult its adherents put on diapers to show their fealty. It is so unhinged a VP hopeful expected to be cheered for shooting a puppy and whines that verbatim quotes of her book are fake news. There is no reasoning with or changing these people. There is only defeating them.

You know, RFK Jr. and pollster Zogby are right: If both Biden and Trump drop out and neither party fields a candidate to replace them, he could win.

Spoutible has little patience for people who respond to atrocities with "Not all white women" or "Not all cis men," but I'd just like to say as a white man with a graduate degree I don't think school shootings are staged and the Holocaust was exaggerated.

Worse than that: They believe they're the only real Americans—simultaneously the only victims of racism and oppression, but the only real Americans. All others don't count, shouldn't get to vote, shouldn't have their stories told in school, in gays' and trans' case shouldn't be allowed to exist.

I’m confident they will all be posting their adventures today!

It'd be nice if Joe Biden announced "If the Supreme Court rules that as president I can violate any law with total immunity from prosecution, I will fire and replace the ruling justices, bypassing confirmation, and my replacements will reverse Dobbs and all other recent rulings I choose."

I've been happy with the DuckDuckGo browser on Windows (its ad-free YouTube player alone is a life-changer), but has anyone else experienced that it simply stops responding after every 10 or 15 sites visited and needs to be reset (flame icon to close tabs and clear data)?

Important to remember when you're tempted to despair by headlines like CNN's "More than 60% of voters say Biden's tenure has been a failure." It's just the appalling optics and right-wing lies about the Afghanistan withdrawal—which Trump locked Biden into—and perceptions, not facts, of inflation.

"I don’t post good polls.
I don’t post bad polls.
That’s because the polling industry today is garbage.
Polls are media-created “news” to generate content and controversy when they could be doing real work like covering actual news."

Why would anyone vote for boring infrastructure and reducing airline fees, drug costs, and student loan debt when you could revel in killing puppies, presidents' carte blanche to murder opponents, and rapists' carte blanche to father babies? The party of Lincoln is now the party of violent crime.

Bob - Garden is Life @trebuchetguyIt would be unbecoming and cause all kinds of problems, but I would still love it if Biden said off the cuff, "I'm watching this presidential immunity thing.

From actor Nick Offerman in a Wash. Post profile, a perfect statement about his Independent Spirit Awards speech: "I just wanted to say to bigots of every stripe, 'You're never going to win. It's never going to get better for you. We're never going to turn around and say "You know, you're right."'"

Odd Washington Post headline: "On Broadway, Vladimir Putin remains an enigma." Turns out he's the topic of Peter Morgan's new play "Patriots," but for a second I thought he was debuting a cabaret act with his medley of "Open a New Window," "Jump," and "Poison."

Mike Johnson is a creepy maniac who gets hard reading "The Handmaid's Tale," so I'm glad the "Johnson heroically enables Ukraine aid" stories are yielding to the tragedy of his dithering delay. It seems clear he was motivated by his only good quality, hatred of the hideous Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The Gran Torino and 308 GTS are legends, but I vote KITT for the great William Daniels and the best continuity error since James Bond's alley stunt in "Diamonds Are Forever"—Michael Knight each week driving into the trailer with 2 inches on each side then opening the door and getting out of the car.

The Washington Post has an article on my go-to product, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. It says contrary to what you may see on TikTok, do not use them on skin or teeth.
To respout an old trivia question, did you know Mr. Clean has a first name, chosen in a promotional contest in 1962? Veritably!

I'm so used to 6 or 7 daily emails and texts from the DNC and Biden campaign saying "You need to make your first donation" and "Your Donor Record: NONE" that I was stunned to get a "Hi, Joe Biden here" text correctly saying I've made 3 donations totaling $600. Of course I still get all the others.

Corrupt, cadaverous Batboy Rick Scott (R-Fla.) has launched his reelection campaign with an ad about him fighting socialism, starting from the get-go with the lie that Republicans can define a single Democratic program as socialist apart from the "make the rich pay their fair share of taxes" thing.

There's a hideous piece on the CNN site by a right-wing think-tanker about "the basic problem with putting Trump on trial," bitching about Democrats' "creative legal theories" (i.e., enforcing the law) and "too-cute attempts to keep Trump out of the White House."
