The best politics newsletter in the world. A digital political magazine for adults. Intelligent snark.

"Pro-democracy and pro-America citizens need to recognize that this is a very real scenario. And there must be vigilant opposition.

Because in Trump’s America, Martial Law will likely not be used to fix only the problem at hand. Once implemented, it would be expanded to anything and everything else perceived as a “threat”, whether that be transgender people, Democrats, or even democratic elections.

If we thought that the relentless attacks, blame, and accusations of failure towards Biden in the aftermath of these events were bad, the reality is we have been more insulated than we realize by virtue of Biden being in power."

With their reactions to even the most insignificant of events, MAGA lays out the playbook for Martial Law.

"The Trump message is not only a social, intellectual, spiritual, and philosophical obscenity. It is the most anti-Carter message imaginable, and it is the battle cry for a once disciplined civilization rapidly becoming unmoored from decency, responsibility, and accountability. With only a few short days to go before the new “D-Day,” can you blame Jimmy Carter’s rarified, nuanced, kindly old soul for finally hitting the eject button?"

The Trump message is not only a social, intellectual, spiritual, and philosophical obscenity. It is the most anti-Carter message imaginable.

"I have been involved in countless campaigns over the past thirty years, so believe me when I tell you that there are two types of winning candidates: the ones who win because their supporters will follow them to battle and the ones who win because the other side has really messed up. A win is a win but one kind of victory brings the ability to shift our culture in meaningful ways, while the other is a short-term fix that can be easily reversed when a stronger opponent shows up the next time around."

Kamala Harris lost because Democrats have no idea how to communicate their victories effectively and spend most of their time in a defensive crouch.

Facebook is promising not to censor politics, so here we go! Our first post on this page in many, many months:

'The Free Press' Smears Keir Starmer, brown-noses Elon Musk, and screws up every detail in a decades old scandal.

"What worries Taibbi the most is that the Republican Party has painted itself into a corner it cannot escape. It has become an extremist cult that worships white nationalism, fascism, and Donald Trump in a country where they are vastly outnumbered by people who do not. Worse, we are just a handful of election cycles away from the demographic shift becoming insurmountable and the GOP self-destructing.

Taibbi, along with so much of the alt-left (more closeted Republicans) are engaged in a singular project: convince as many people as possible that the Democratic Party is actually more extreme and dangerous than the party openly courting literal N***s and pining for mass executions."

The paranoia. The bald-faced lying. The whining victimhood. Taibbi isn’t even pretending he’s a journalist anymore.

“The filibuster deserves to die. It has been holding this country back for years. It has enabled a fascist minority party to hobble progress for truly evil reasons. It has allowed the press to peddle a destructive lie about both sides being responsible for the state of the nation. The filibuster was never supposed to exist and all it has done is erode our democracy. The filibuster and all of the parasites that feed on it have got to go.”

The filibuster was never supposed to exist and all it has done is erode our democracy.

"The American right wing knows it is running out of time. Within two or three election cycles, they will no longer have the numbers to win the White House and they will start to lose control of their benighted states soon after. This is their inflection point. Either democracy dies or their party does and their unearned power along with it. They are laying the rhetorical foundation to justify their next coup attempt."

Trump supporters are battling against a new imaginary enemy.

"Nikki Haley is setting herself up for a 2028 run and the donor money is starting to prepare for a Trump 2024 loss. Pay attention to the money. If more of it starts shifting to the down ticket races, particularly the Senate because keeping a House GOP majority would take a miracle at this point, that means a lot of very rich people know that Trump is toast."

Unless something dramatically changes the course of this contest, Trump is on his way from risky to hopeless.

"Militant anti-abortion measures have been costing Republicans elections everywhere, including in deep red states. Running on such a platform would be su***de.

And here is where Trump is potentially painting himself into a fatal corner."

My god. National policy based on how neat and tidy it sounds to the imbecile who wants to be in charge.

"Just like the mobs who took smiling pictures of themselves with the bodies of the Black men they had tortured and killed, the January 6th rioters could not conceive of a world in which they would be held accountable for their actions. That’s why they filmed themselves, took pictures, and bragged online about what they were doing."

Jan. 6th wasn't an anomaly, it was an American tradition.
