Landau also told Park that the two allies should try to use the incident as an opportunity to further strengthen their bilateral ties and improve relevant systems where necessary, according to the ministry.
We should take this time we fucked your citizens over to strengthen our ties. We’re so sorry that we took a week to do anything about it and you now get an apology from an underling.
Unlike the effect of electing a disgraced wealthy sexual sleeze or a disgraced corrupt cop. Yeah, the Muslim guy trying to make too many things free is really the outcome the Democrats should worry about being associated with.
If centrists had a Bland McBlanderson neoliberal in the race they could make this argument, but by some coincidence both of their avatars are toxic and since they worship pre-existing power structures they were unable to challenge them. I’m starting to think maybe it’s not progressives who are causing the image problem for the Democrats.
They put out a statement saying they don’t support taking away guns. That’s not doing something.
Why? We’ve seen their anemic responses to minority gun issues before (Philando Castile). There’s no reason to assume good faith from an organization that’s been a thinly veiled Republican PAC for decades now.
Yeah, are they lobbying Congress to oppose it? Will their NRA rating decrease if they support the ban? Are they threatening to fund primary challengers? Will there be a trans speaker at the next convention saying “from my cold dead hands”?
There’s a difference between a strongly worded letter responding to an immediate question of the day and actual action.
The standard for a grand jury is probable cause, not more likely than not. Civil court is preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not), and criminal is beyond a reasonable doubt.
I voted for Harris and the people you’re losing are the ones who don’t care about feeling superior, they just don’t feel like voting is very important and dumb statements like “regardless of who is elected, this bad thing won’t change” reinforce that idea.
That you take the former as given is the whole reason the Democratic party has like a 20% approval rating. People don’t vote for parties that just act like bad things are just immutable facts of life, especially when it’s blatantly obvious that the bad thing could be changed if the political will existed.
Note that this is a Fox News article hidden behind the MSN aggregator.
Republicans have said the commissioners are violating a judge’s lawful order by refusing to appoint Frazier and Adams. Georgia Republican Party Chairman Josh McKoons expressed his desire for commissioners to be put behind bars for refusing to comply with the judge’s order.
Violating a judges order?! Who could imagine a government representative doing such a thing? Anyone doing that should definitely be jailed immediately, right Republicans?
Bessent says the tax increase on American consumers is actually a half-trillion dollars.
AFAIK, the Fed isn’t part of the executive branch. They earn their own money and submit excess to the Treasury. The people who would change the locks aren’t employees of the president.
MAGA isn’t Mamdami’s problem. MAGA isn’t going to win a NYC election. But oligarchs paying the best ad people and manipulators and using outright lies through dark money PACs to pretend the best way to oppose MAGA is “reasonable” centrism have the resources and savvy to make things hard. And establishment Democrats being unable to decide between the party nominee and a disgraced governor courting Trump isn’t helping.
I feel like the administration’s getting a little obvious in their attempts to get a fed shot. I just can’t understand why the bait hasn’t figured it of yet.
They’re both corrupt. Only one of them is in them.
What a fun performance! The Republicans will surely rue this day, just like they did when Joe Biden appointed Merrick Garland to run the Department of Justice.
What are they even being policed for? The session the warrants were issued for is over and they returned to the state house. There’s nothing more to be done in that order. What happens if they leave without agreeing to escort? Will they be arrested? For what?
Ironic. The Daily Beast sidebar:

He learned from Netanyahu.
Trump’s EOs aren’t where the rules will be set (hopefully, unless the SC just fully declares the Constitution void). It’ll be a the states. And they’ll design the laws on who can do mail in voting to their benefit.
For example, Georgia, with its red trifecta who would like more red votes to be counted both for their own elections and the House, passes a law saying it’s only valid of you live in a settlement with less than X density. X is above suburbia but below cities. And since it’s targeting areas rather than districts, the gerrymandered districts can boost their red votes and suppress their blue votes.
They don’t really care about voters in LA, they care about suppressing Atlanta and Austin so red states stay maximally red. They don’t need to take over blue states, just maintain their current dominance despite the electorate turning against them.
If voter suppression reliably caused the offender to lose no one would do it. But it doesn’t, not when applied subtly and accompanied by spin about how it’s just saving money or securing elections. The people on the margins who are most likely to stay home rather than go to the polls are the same ones who aren’t passionate about voter access and voting in general.
What kind of a dumb vote is that? Were Democrats boycotting? Why? Who stayed? Which Republicans didn’t support the fake nominee?
Maybe someone at the Guardian could do a tiny bit of journalism to answer the obvious questions for a weird vote total.
