there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

If Platner must crash and burn and take the US Senate and US judiciary with him, can he please, for the love of god, at least take Ryan Grim, the Pod Save bros, and Morris Katz too

Re: Graham Platner, I felt like I was being punked when people acted like he wasn’t obviously dishonest and untrustworthy this entire time. Starting with the unbelievable defense of his tattoo, which I was shocked to see people fall for

trump is kind of used to getting to threaten people into inaction so it is quite something to see him drowning and him being unable to threaten his way into getting people to throw him a life preserver

The thing that's most damning about this from a media ethics standpoint (yes, I know) is that most of the audience and Trump supporters probably wouldn't have noticed the ball cap. But the people at Fox News knew it was a bad look and they made an active potter box decision to run the old footage.
Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

notably *at the time* it was treated as a big deal, and then the media decided it couldn't be because that would mean doing work.
If somebody attempts a coup, and then they’re not held accountable by elites and institutions, the public will draw the conclusion that it’s not a big deal.

once again pointing out that Trump vs. US is a treasonous decision--the Supreme Court equivalent of January 6--and the justices who voted for it have forfeited any claim to legitimacy (or indeed due process) whatsoever
One thing that's important to realize now is that, even in a scenario where Dems sweep to a crushing trifecta in 2028, Republicans will use their control of the courts to attempt to continue, as much as they can, to run executive agencies in exile, with DHS/ICE under Biden as the model

"Leftists" weaseling their way to the front of the BLM movement is why it fumbled. They're attempting to do the same thing with the anti-ICE movement. Becoming hard to believe they're not federal agents or foreign assets.
Will Stancil getting thrown out of the ICE signal chat for being annoying (and apparently not following the rules?) was always the way this was destined to end

Q: Bannon recently said 'we're gonna have ICE surround the polls come November.' Is that something the president is considering?

The "leftists" have gotten involved in political organizing again and are doing measurable damage again.
Okay, I'm now hearing reports of other locals being removed from Minnesota rapid response for interacting with press, as well as some "organizers" instituting onerous screening processes to join these networks.
It's time for local leaders to step in. These policies are incredibly counterproductive.

Renee Good committed gender insubordination: she didn't cower & grovel to male authority. Many women are killed for the very same reason all over the world. We just call it by the euphemism "domestic violence" instead of what it is: a campaign of political terrorism in which any man can participate.
When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.
