@reginageorgebush.bsky.social An extremely Monmouth County story: 4 out of 9 Colts Neck BoE members have come out in support to rename an elementary school after Trump. Linda McMahon visited the town in December. They’re hoping Trump will visit too.

It me
Emily Henry was practicing that one like Luca Brasi. Just so blown away by the resume that they were in awe to even have your email, but they wanted to play it cool
He’s been making NIMBY noises which is worrisome, but also you sometimes the best option is the least terrible option lol
There’s like 35 people in America who still care about Rahm, they just happen to all be in prominent media positions lol
Nah reporters love Rahm. It’s the same reason Adam Jentleson gets quoted as an authority on Democrats even though his claim to fame is “former Chief of Staff for Fetterman and middling consultant”: they’re always available + willing to provide a quote, and he says what reporters want to hear
I think Hassan becoming a Newsom stan by the end, especially after his recent comments about how he would never vote for a Democrat because of trans rights
Jessup nukes his career with that speech and gets humiliated + arrested less than five minutes afterwards, so why not use it in defense of a war that will also humiliate the Administration? Introspection and knowing the plot of movies is for Libs
I think you’ve nailed it on the head with Golden. I would find him loathsome but at least understand the calculus if he was doing this shit while running for Senate, but the fact that he’s retiring and still the worst Democratic member of Congress honestly makes me madder
Folks will be - legitimately - furious with the Ds that voted no (leadership whipped hard for yes), but I think it is worth looking on the other hand: 98% of House Democrats (and 1% of House Republicans) just voted to try to block the president from waging war on Iran.
Iran! The Great Evil!
Wait are there people who think Shapiro is in trouble running for re-election lol? I thought the general view of him was “popular governor but will fall flat on his face during a presidential run, like many a governor before him”
It’s a nice palette cleanser from more cursed discourse
Birb, I think you’ll save yourself a lot of frustration just ignoring them and letting them scream into the void. They have to be a right wing troll because the alternative that they’re someone serious is too ridiculous and depressing for me to believe lol
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.
i've noted before that every generation of white people gets a song that drives them insane ("don't stop believing," "creep," "mr brightside," etc) and i think that awful radiohead song making it instead of one of those gin blossoms songs was a real inflection point. won't be taking questions
They made him rewrite Hey Jealousy because the band was tired of doing so many songs about alcoholism (one of the original line of “you can trust me not to drink, and not to sleep around” became “not to think” instead)
I have a screenplay I wrote about the lead guitarist/songwriter for the Gin Blossoms, Doug Hopkins, that I never did anything with. Got kicked out of the band right before they got huge because of his alcoholism. (Famously was too drunk to record) Had 3 hits in the top 25 on Billboard when he died
I was about to write the same thing, had a very similar experience starting around sixth grade. Fun combo of undiagnosed ADD that helped make my undiagnosed depression much worse because of self-hatred from my difficulties in school. At 16 I got diagnosed and then things made sense in retrospect lol
Chotiner: You've made the claim that no one has ever fed you in your life.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: Yet there's food in your dish right now.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: Let's change the subject to the ripped-open bag of sandwich bread on the floor.
My Cat: Maow.
Chotiner: I have read different things.
SCOTUS Justice Jasmine Crockett
Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?
Third Way having any relevance on the 2028 election is very wishful thinking on their part lol, but I did find this answer at the end interesting.
Even Third Way can smell blood in the water when it comes to Trump on Iran.
There’s no way they’re being genuine. I refuse to believe it lol. Especially with their bio, I have to assume they’re a RW lunatic just trolling or they’re genuinely functionally illiterate
Counterpoint: We’ve already won by the nature of Cornyn having to spend hundreds of millions in a bruising primary and runoff, and the fact Republicans will have to spend millions defending the seat.
Obviously winning the seat is the goal lol, but if we can bleed their coffers dry that’s a win too
Imperialism is bad, full stop. It’s bad when the British did it, it was bad when the Spanish and the French did it, it was bad when Brazil and Argentina did it, etc
Literally not what I said at all. I think Imperialism is bad, regardless of which country practices it. Britain has a long history of imperialism you could be calling out but instead you’ve settled on criticizing the UK for one of the times they were the victim of imperialism
I think it’s pretty sad how much you’re going to bat for a fascist regime that was practicing their own form of imperialism in a war of conquest against a native population that did not want to be Argentinian, and I think you should do some introspection on why you support that
Oh good we’re doing Falklands discourse again, this is a nice change of pace
