At the end of the road perhaps i’ll use a student loan to buy a boat.

I can see the MAGAs at the barber shop or the Klan rally being really angar about the student loan thing.

He has failed to win me over with his native charm.

The wife is really mad about the student loan thing. But, obv...she's madder about Roe/Dobbs. I'd say my attitude toward the loan thing is much more mellow. I'm going to be paying all the kid's college with the money I spent 20 plus years saving for it. I also spent nearly 25 years paying off my own student loans. I'm just a mule for the system.

This is hilarious.

MTG was always a vile, self-entitled nutjob who thinks having money means God decided she is right. Stefanik has shifted herself to take over the leadership job from Liz Cheney into whatever the vile MTG faction wants her to think and do. She violated the first rule of teenage self-improvement movies. She was not true to herself.

Obviously, the "Anglo Saxon" behavior can be adapted by others. There is a fantastic rant by David Mitchell about how English interest in fine dining is all part of this "Anorak behavior"

Hell's hottest layers should be for this kind of morphing shitbird

Significant

There is a tic in Anglo Saxon middle class behavior that demands intricate hobbies. Its the eccentricity of the English middle class that manifests itself in trainspotting and bird watching in previous generations.

isn't that the famous law firm of Gaston, Miller, Augstin, Ira and Lowenstein?

Crazy enough to kill.

Wonderful analogy! IPAs are the thing because Pilsners are too difficult for "artisans" to make so the prevailing taste consensus is shifted toward the easiest thing to do.

I know a lot of people who vomit thinking about their votes for Ted Cruz as the only candidate left who could stop Trump at the end of 2016. Marco Rubio should endorse Val Demmings and quit.

This gets a George Takei "Oh My"

I heard Charlie Christ on Morning Joe just now...holy snikes he's running on Christian Love as his platform. Will that work?

this feels significant even though in normal times it would be unspectacular that the non-overt racist wins.

Sounds like the energy is on the side of the Ds this November. Cook political report seems to think a lot of it is lack of energy on Trump base's side as well as all the Dobbs anger.

I think part of the success of Fetterman et.al., is the degree to which people are totally fed up with the screeching self-indulgent, entitled asses on the far right thinking they represent the main stream. I get that "woke" isn't selling with GOP primary voters but white power and anti-science isn't selling with the mainstream and this group of clowns that has been elevated by the Trump party is really falling on its ass.

Like Rudy Giuliani

Yeah, definitely would be strong in a GOP primary rigged for his victory by corrupted party hacks. But, in a general election with all his negatives and many more people paying attention and wary of his shenanigans now. He lost in 2020 while the rest of the GOP had a decent day. That should tell you a lot about his brand.

Now go get Dar Leaf!

Just saw this HUGE!

Obviously you can't be complacent. Their plans to thwart democratic elections are proof of their desperation though.

They know Trump can't win a general election anymore. They are just playing along for the $ from the rubes.
