He'd already announced his retirement, but him not even sticking around to finish it out really speaks to how miserable it must be to serve in that caucus. Whatever one thinks of his ideas, he actually has them.... while so much of the caucus otherwise (particularly the MTGs and Boeberts and Ronny Jacksons) are a bunch of circus clowns who are devoid of ideas.

Doesn't look health related

I do have a subscription....

Correct...

Filthy, filthy stuff... Mayer who?

The Benetti Difference: C-Mo makes a point about how Vierling needed to deaden the baseball better on his bunt attempt, Benetti asks why and for C-Mo to explain. Stuff like that just makes for a good broadcast.

Old enough to remember when they were all demanding it be released lol

Party of the workin' man

I also recall that, despite Hutchinson's explosive testimony, the denials (which weren't under oath) did get a lot of play and, to some degree, deference from the NYT as well.

From the Axios article: Wouldn't the report have more credibility if it was offered by someone else?

Tweets (or "Truths" in this case) are probably harder to turn into an ad.... but he'll likely uncork this line at one of his rallies and create a spot for the Biden people at some point.

I'll take you at face value that it's the first thing you saw, but it's nowhere to be found at the top of the NYT or WaPo webpages as far as I can tell.

As much as I dont love Congressional grandstanding, I think Robert Hur deserves some aimed in his direction today.

I think his framing as a candidate in 2016, and the fact that the relationship that he had between many of his voters was purely transactional at that point (particularily with evangelicals), as much as I didn't like the guy, it made it understandable. Eight years later, that purely transactional relationship is gone for the most part... whether it was deep inside and just waiting to be tapped, or whether Trump himself changed the nature of his voters, a great deal of his support now will defend just about anything he does or his nature. The ultimate irony is that I grew up hearing many people complain about moral relativism (in the era of Bill Clinton in The White House), yet many choose to practice the same moral relativism as it pertains to Donald Trump. I just started Tim Alberta's book on the subject with respect to Evangelicals, which has been really insightful so far.

Bust Out Time lol

Trust me, I know it's not going to matter

https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/11/politics/trump-employee-5-classified-documents-mar-a-lago/index.html I'll take the under on the story actually meaning much in the bigger picture, but in terms of detail, Brian Butler has probably seen some things over the years

In terms of Trump's capacity, the thing that has always been striking to me isn't his intelligence, it's his complete and total lack of empathy. He's clearly older and more forgetful now (and, who knows, may have some issues that we don't know about), but even when he was younger, the guy has always just come across like a deeply sociopathic and broken individual.

A lot of this evolution starts from the basic fact that he has never acknowledged that he lost in 2020.... why would the messaging change if you're convinced that you actually won and it was all stolen from you? Why would you think you need Haley voters if you're busy convincing yourself that all of those voters are "all Democrats"?

One of the largest balancing acts for Biden in this campaign is hitting on the freedom side of his message while still speaking to middle class economics (which he did a pretty good job of in his SOTU, imo). Gifts like this from Trump will help a lot.... but even aside from that takeaway, it's striking how Trump seems even less coherent than in the past, which is saying something. A whole lot of words that make absolutely no sense when you read them aloud.

Word salad, with a side of entitlement cuts

Wtf

Amazing what a little money from a TikTok investor can do lol
