Some reverse pyromaniac. Formerly balloon-juice.com now heymistermix.com. heymistermix@proton.me Perhaps some day, over a glass of whiskey that I accept, despite my gastritis, we could talk frankly about this.
Telling that he said "Defense Department" and not "War Department"
NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson?
WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

Two categories of analysts who might take a step back, away from the microphone or keyboard, this weekend:
βThose who assured us that Trump was the real anti-war candidate.
βThose who assured us that invading Iraq was necessary and would work out great.
Is he downing the same 'shrooms that Casey Means spoke about today?

The rush to venerate these corrupt assholes is a sickness. A functioning court would have issued a 9-0 slam dunk without a bunch of made up nonsense legalese.
The Ultimate Scam - using culture war issues to hide transferring wealth from the lower 90% to billionaires.
My take:

Graves Opthalmopathy - bulging eyes due to hyperthyroidism. Barbara Bush had it, too.
RFK Jr has probably prescribed a manure poultice and ivermectin, so he'll be fine.
Renee Richards in the late 70s, too.

We need to make their sheer incompetence an issue. My take:

The right wing in Mexico is lying, but their lie is that MX doesn't have enough vaccine on hand. They have 28 mil doses, there's no issue.
Anyway, here's my piece: heymistermix.com/p/cbp-and-ic...
In hotspots, MX is vaccinating babies at 6 months, and also 18-49 year olds if not sure they were fully vaccinated (two doses). Full-court press: hospitals, health centers, etc. President Sheinbaum and Health Minister Kershenobich spent almost 2 hrs explaining it at a regular press conference.
Spanish language slide from a presentation at Wednesday's Presidential press conference. Graph indicating that cases of measles in the state of Chihuahua are under control after 1.8 million vaccinations.
I unintentionally ended up writing another piece on how Mexico is combatting measles. This is a graph from a recent press conference. The state of Chihuahua has 3.7 million residents. 1.8 million vaccinations were used to stop the outbreak there.
There's nothing like this happening in the US.
High prices and too much emphasis on prepared food vs regular groceries. It's become a luxury brand, but the bulk of their stores are in Western NY, and those people don't like the "new" Wegmans.
Wyoming sends it's best (NOT!)

No, Chuck, youβre making them the fifth highest paid military in the world. You ainβt reforming shit.
Interesting that the only things centrist Dems can "strike back" against is the left wing of the party. They seem to lack the same "striking" force when it comes to engaging Trump's goon squad tactics, and his execrable cabinet appointees.
The big Mexican outbreak came from a Mennonite community where some members had visited a Texas Mennonite community, btw. Another gift to Mexico from the US.
The guy in the picture is David Kershenobich, MD PhD, 83 year old minister of health. Liver specialist. Research scientist. Not RFK Jr.
Mexico has a big measles outbreak. Unlike RFK Jr, they have a serious health ministry led by a real scientist. So they're engaging in a massive vaccination effort, and they're honestly reporting and tracing cases to figure out what happened. I wrote about it here:

JD Vance is a child. A baby. He has to travel in an armored caravan and be surrounded by security because he's a coward. Here's what a real leader, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, does on her weekends. Yesterday, in Michoacan.
She's lost the plot completely.
