You can tell Twitter Blue is a good product because the only two ways to get it is to pay for it or make the owner of Twitter so mad he buys it for you to punish you

One of the big barriers to understanding politics and culture in the Information Age is the difficulty accepting that people really do mean the stupid things they keep saying in public, and that some prominent, influential, wealthy figures are, in fact, whiney, aggrieved idiots.

I don’t know, man. If you’re angry because the *Auschwitz Memorial* folks are “virtue signaling,” maybe it’s time to log off, pour yourself a drink, and contemplate where your life went wrong.

if "American politics" were broken, we'd have seen things like this happen when Democrats controlled the House but we didn't what's broken, very specifically, is the Republican Party

I am begging DC media to just say “for example, the Texas house elected moderate Republican Joe Straus as speaker with a coalition of Democrats and Republicans. He served for 10 years.”

One of the reasons Democrats ousted McCarthy: Just on Sunday, McCarthy went on CBS and charged Democrats with wanting a shutdown. That infuriated Democrats, who voted nearly unanimously for the government spending bill when fewer than half of Republicans did.

This is actually a good reminder that when Republican so-called moderates demand bipartisanship, what they're really insisting on is Dem help in whitewashing GOP extremism and achieving distance from it.

Amid the “Why don’t Dems just bail out McCarthy” talk, his final swan song is all about how he will sacrifice his lifelong dream just so that the party doesn’t have to negotiate with Democrats

On J6 democrats were hiding from a crowd of people who wanted to kill them, and Kevin McCarthy gave security camera footage of this to Tucker Carlson so he could go on tv to say it was all fake. There are people who now say that Dems should support McCarthy’s speakership.

Just a reminder that with the *exact same margin* that Republicans currently have, Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, Infrastructure package, gun safety law, PACT Act, CHIPS Act, and reauthorized VAWA. Republicans can't even choose a Speaker.

End of the day McCarthy going on Face the Nation and lying about Democrats on the CR sealed his fate. Whatever good will or potential pragmatism re his speakership was burned up due to McCarthy not being able to help himself/weakly fending his flank. It was really dumb of him

It's good that MyKev got a CR done before he was ousted. But let's not forget that he's also the guy who gave Tucker Carlson the January 6th footage.

The fact anyone calls Kevin McCarthy "moderate," despite voting to reject Electoral College votes after Jan. 6, welcoming Trump back into the party, and giving footage exclusively to Tucker Carlson to cherry-pick and conspiracy theorize, shows how far right the GOP has moved.

It was very brave of Matt Gaetz, who I do not support, to file a motion to vacate. But it was hypocritical and craven of Democrats to vote in favor of this motion. by Glenn Greenwald

1) Reject all info in media reports, listen only to me and what I promote. 2) Facts you observe that I don't like are by definition media reports (see 1). 3) “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” But dumber.

I think if Democrats were holding up funding for the defense of three allies unless we got an unrelated thing, and then we said no to the very thing we demanded because our nominee told us to kill it, that the media would justifiably go thermonuclear on us.
