Re: Chaos in Congress
Santos's corruption is A story, but in my opinion, THE story is how someone like him wound up running for and winning office in the first place. There's some reporting today that his campaign was largely funded by the ex-wife of a Florida billionaire, but that is only the beginning of what should be...

Re: Hamas' "50th Anniversary" Attack on Israel
Whether you're talking about Israel vs. Hamas, Ukraine vs. Russia, or Democrats vs. Republicans, it's very clear the baseline is that the good guys must scrupulously obey every jot and tittle of the letter of the law even if it literally kills them, while the bad guys can do whatever the hell they w...

Re: The Russia Investigations and other Trump-related cases
I spent the morning tearing my hair out trying to get my kids to school with their delayed start and work at the same time. Do I get to tell my boss it's an undue hardship having to work during the school week, or is that just for the filthy rich?

Well, we all know that MAGA believes losing an election just means you need to try seizing power by other means

Re: Hamas' "50th Anniversary" Attack on Israel
Or, with a full year to cool off and react to the many additional black/gray swans that are sure to show up, these events will not be as much of a factor as it feels like right now. For what it's worth, although I would not bet on this outcome, I think it's perfectly, non-negligibly likely that neit...

Re: Elon's Twitter
No, it is available for other browsers too. There are links to several different versions (maybe all of them?) in this article:

Re: The challenges ahead (Biden's America)
Garry Kasparov writes in the WSJ that Biden should put all his energy into defeating Russia and Hamas for the remainder of his term, then step aside and endorse LLoyd Austin for '24. I'm not sure what I think about that, but I have a lot of respect for Kasparov's opinions in general.

Re: Elon's Twitter
This browser extension can make X-Twitter look like Twitter again, from functional fixes like putting the headlines back on links to purely aesthetic ones like replacing all those Xs with birds. I linked to the Firefox version, but it's available for the other major browsers too.

Re: World News Thread
Someone on Twitter said, you know we are in WWIII, right? And I can't make a convincing argument that we are not. WWII was called WWII because there was a direct line between it and the unfinished business of WWI, and because the the sides and players were largely the same. That isn't the case with...

So close! Now let's hear you say "no one has the right to 'rule' in this country, period, because we're still a democracy."

Re: Elon's Twitter
As is so often the case with the new right, I'm torn between two nonexclusive explanations: "this is an effort to hobble competitors" and "this is an effort to force people to click the links so X-Twitter gets paid."

Re: Elon's Twitter
The iOS X-Twitter app now makes annoying 80s arcade sounds when you refresh that can’t be turned off via the “play sounds” setting. That will probably change, but who would think this is a good idea in the first place?

Didn’t anyone tell him that only Republican Congressmen are allowed to be openly corrupt?

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia
What would any of the defendants hypothetically have to gain by moving to DC? Can't the "I'm immune because I was acting within the scope of my federal duties" argument be made in state court? Also, what happens if they do move to federal court and the GA Congressional Republicans subseque...

That too, but I meant that was a reasonable caption for his opponents to put with the mugshot. More projection/accusation=confession stuff.

Re: Trump and others charged with conspiring to overturn 2020 election in Georgia
Donald Trump was banned from Twitter early in 2021. After Elon Musk purchased the social network, now renamed X, he lifted Trump's ban, but the disgraced former president hadn't post there for more than 18 months until tonight, when he xweeted a photoshopped version of his mugshot that he's now usi...

Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election
In three mirror-image posts, Trump wrote “Liberate Michigan!”, and Virginia, and Minnesota. He also made a characteristically unhinged post referencing 7 indictments, when the rest of us only know about 4. A sign that these three states next? Those “Liberate XYZ!” posts are evidently years old, so ...
