“The New War Crimes” works better out loud than it does written down (say it out loud with an emphasis on crimes) but is so apt I’d like to see it catch on.

When the alternative is the republicans? Ya.

So, an imaginary candidate is preferred over Newsom, imperfect as he is?

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good. Republicans don’t, which is why they’re in power.

Champion the overtly and successfully progressive when they’re available, and the less progressive to be better.

Here in the real world we need candidates who are electable.

Be better than them. Don’t jump to conclusions based on opinion or speculation.

Credit where due, he made almost the same exact comments yesterday, after two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were assassinated.

For all I dislike about him, he’s being consistent here, which needs to be recognized.

When did he say this?

It shouldn’t go back to businesses, it should be a tax credit (with documentation.)

I’m confused. What do you think the play here is

UC Davis.

And “Berklee” is spelled Berkeley (aka University of California).

Hey media, California isn’t ‘jousting’ for advantage. California is only posturing as a defense against Texas’ un-democratic aggression.

It wouldn’t surprise me either, I’m just not ready to consider it fait accompli.

If he does end up absent on the list, I think it’s precisely because of the Lewinsky scandal. Why would you make the same mistake twice.

And I’m certainly not trying to defend Clinton here, but we should keep in mind none of his (many) infidelities were illegal / with underage girls. Which, it needs to be said, didn’t make them ‘okay.’

That may have been plausible in 2016 (when Hillary was running,) but not in 2020 and 2024. There’s zero chance the DNC would’ve sat on evidence that would’ve convicted Trump to protect Bill.

I actually think Clinton is not on the list. Not because I don’t think he’s capable of such acts (which I tentatively do) but because engaging in such acts as a former president and with a wife with lofty political ambitions is a pretty high bar. And, perhaps most of all, with this congress and this DOJ and this president, if Clinton was on the list we’d absolutely know it by now.

In n Out is worth billions selling hamburgers almost exclusively in California. Even the ‘doing business here’ must not be too bad.

And you know what, I desperately want my (tax) money to go to supporting them in their disaster.

I saw a billboard (in California) for a gofundme for Texas disaster relief. That feels peak 2025 to me.

I’ve joked for years they should pivot to legit Michelin quality white tablecloth restaurants called Charles E Fromage.
