Pam Bondi seeks the death penalty for Luigi Mangione. The White House’s battle against the cartels. The former Wall Street honcho protesting Trump. And much more.
Ah, for that halcyon era in Philadelphia when all was sweetness, and harmony...🙄 Thank God for a return to the freedom to argue and debate without an undue care for real democracy’s messiness. MAMA❣️😎🤪
Cory Booker stunt - how to say “I’m running for president” without saying he’s running for president. What an ego feeder. He’ll be a perfect candidate.
lol oh yes, it is. So would Newsome, AOC, Crocket and these other fizzling firecrackers. Sadly there are a ton of very sensible and smart people I know that think he’s a hero for this “brave” thing. I think he’s a buffoon. And I’m probably stupid too. But I still feel how I feel.
I think he wants to bring more business back here. Our trade currently favors other countries but not us. It has to be beneficial in both directions. Believe me I don't like the Wall Street reaction either but they panic easily.
The article on the new right strikes me as a fair and accurate summary of the opinions of the national conservatives. Its conclusions fit their manifesto and other things they have written. Its claim that, to the extent that there is one at all, theirs is the ideological basis of MAGA and Trumpism is supported by evidence. As such the article is also a good, quick summary of why those of us who care about freedom, small government, personal autonomy, fidelity to the Constitution, and America’s responsibility in the world should realize we and our liberal sentiments are not wanted by and do not belong with the MAGA Republican party. Of course we do not belong with leftist Democrats either. We are on our own.
It's also interesting to note that, while Corey Booker was busy breaking Ole Strom's record, a member of his staff (purportedly his chauffeur) was being arrested for carrying an unlicensed and unauthorized firearm in the Capitol! The news report that I read seemed to indicate that the staff member had been escorted around the entry scanner by a member of Congress. Could that alleged member have been Senator Booker? Is it possible that some big proponents of gun control actually believe that the draconian rules they propose should apply to everyone but themselves? Nah, that could never happen in D.C., could it?
A three-year-old girl found an amulet dating back nearly 4,000 years while hiking in Israel. It was identified as belonging to the Canaanites, an ancient tribe of people in the Levant frequently referenced throughout the Bible. The amulet was found in the same region where David is thought to have battled Goliath
No need to worry about those transnational criminal drug cartels! Kamala took them on when she was the whatever of whatever and she beat them! **burp**🍸🤪
What a waste of money donating to Mangione defense. Every hi-value law firm in NY will be climbing all over each other to take a death penalty defense. They’d practically pay Mr M. for the opportunity. Law firms make their names and reputations on cases like this. How many books, TV shows and interviews did OJ Simpson attorneys get off his case? At least 20 years later and you can still name them. Save your cash, don’t donate to the twerps defense.
One of our big problems is our two-party system which we've had from the very beginning. We are forced to choose one or we have no say in our government. We people aren't that much different in our wants and needs but government wants us divided: we are easier to rule that way. Government wants to govern; we are nothing but pawns to them.
Keep it binary, baby! They could care less as long as they have to share less. All reinforced by Big Cable and SM algorithms. Soooo much money and power at stake.
Ever heard of the A'ama crab syndrome? Crabs can't escape a bucket because they keep pulling each other down.
Let me give Matt Continetti a helping hand. Here is the key to understanding today’s Republican Party- It is the third political party that many have asked for and few recognize now that it exists. With all that entails.

Bari, disappointed to see Cowen and Yglesias write their establishment analysis here. Why? Just to portray some perceived sense of balance in views?
We were curious: How did Newmark go from a retired, 60-year-old Wall Street banker to a guy yelling “Trump is a Putin stooge!”
*****
Ummmm…… because he lives in NY?

Who the heck would vote for him? He would be worse than Biden. If that’s possible.

WSJ: There are some of us who actually do not subscribe or read it. Link didn't work. I'll stick with the FP.
Socialism, that is what Pres. Trump's tariffs amount to: a blatant government overreach to control the means of production. What about free markets?
That is ridiculous. Trump is not that stupid. He has a plan behind the tariffs.
I hope you are right.
I think he wants to bring more business back here. Our trade currently favors other countries but not us. It has to be beneficial in both directions. Believe me I don't like the Wall Street reaction either but they panic easily.
Free markets are no longer something the GOP supports. 🤷♀️
Yep, which is why I feel abandoned by it.
Re: Cory Booker.
I find it interesting that nobody ever brings up his horrible job as Newark’s mayor. I am still amazed that New Jersey elevated him to the Senate.

Does anyone know who the very enthusiastic woman in the blue dress standing in front of him and clapping like crazy was?

Thank you Bari for a breath of fresh air from River's typical TDS dailies.

TFP carried an article about military conscription in Ukraine, without noting that Russia also has a draft:
