"nationalism of cucks" is a fantastic coinage
the ethos of JD Vance is the nationalism of cucks. sacrificing every advantage this country had, every actual concrete thing we lead the world in, because it owns the people who make you feel insecure. an ideology of small men.

Trump’s ICE Is Quietly Stockpiling Weaponry—and It Should Alarm Us All
In addition to staffing up at a furious rate, ICE and CPB are acquiring a vast cache of weapons from private contractors, new data reveals. This will not end well—or anytime soon.

The Deconstruction.
The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

'Rat directional indicator' (RDI) is an amazing coinage.
I think a useful barometer for Trump‘s fortunes is the RDI (rat directional indicator). Note how Bezos made his pro-Trump turn right before Donald won in 2024 whereas now even the dedicated right-wing talking heads are starting to falter.

New coinage: "Electric Cord Liberalism"
“Obama’s liberalism echoes Abraham Lincoln’s “electric cord” speech…In it, Lincoln declares that the immigrants of the day have no ties of heritage or blood to the founding generation. But once they reflect on the Declaration’s promise of equality, it allows them to claim such a bond”
A 1,000x yes!
A 1,000x yes!
The genius of Obama's big speech is this: He effectively stated that Trump/MAGA do not accept the Declaration of Independence's promise of equality.

We’re living through Deconstruction. I don’t know what else to call it — it’s an assault on the New Deal, Great Society, Reconstruction, and every other rights movement I can think of.

1 Gilly = 6 Pennies
1 Noble = 90 Pennies
There's Twopennies, Tripennies, Shillings, Marks and Pounds but these are units of account, not physical coinage.

"Epstein class" is terrific not simply because several of them are directly tied to Epstein's crimes, but because it strikes at the corruption, immorality and impunity of that entire circle.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

George Washington rejected the idea of a massive presidential palace. The White House was deliberately scaled back because the president of the United States should not live like a king.

I really hate this new coinage, which to my mind serves to legitimize the malignant fiction that there’s some kind of a hierarchy of American citizenship.
I see a lot of “so-and-so is a birthright citizen” because their parents weren’t citizens when they were born on American soil.
But the truth is, we’re all birthright citizens, unless we have been naturalized.
