Trump administration 2024-2028

Most of us here are centrists who happily call out the stupidity on the left and the right. The reason you are missing that is because, with the possible exception of DEI, leftist extremism is substantially more subtle than the verbal diarrhea that spouts out of MAGA. Your side is an easy target. The fact that most MAGA apologists don't see that is half of the problem.

"MAGA" isn't my side. Reason (.com) and National Review (.com) are places I often find commentary with which I'm in agreement. I invite anyone to go count the numbers of pro-Trump and anti-Trump articles on any given day.

I'm not sure there's much calling out stupidity on left and right; approximately 20 of every 20 posts here on US politics are about Trump's latest stupidity and the reactions are mostly as banal as the provocations. Most are matters of no consequence, and about 15 minutes after Trump's 30-minute attention span fades on some particular pronunciation, everyone forgets about Trump's 30-minute attention span and acts like the next outburst ought be taken seriously. Maybe 1 in 10 or even 20 I think it's worth weighing in because the latest knee-jerk defence/applause of whatever some Democrat supporters are pitching is worth unpacking. In the recent example, a person who really doesn't know about the US media inside baseball involving Weiss and her detractors and her path to where she is now is missing a lot of context. Bitter vindictive people are involved.

Even if you are a centrist and dislike left-wing extremism as well, unless you're with them you may as well be a massive partisan "Liberal" in their eyes.

Works both ways, and the left in the US was demanding political purity for years before it recently became an issue on the right.

That is one of the themes I choose to weigh in on.

Someone: "Look at this shit that happened today!".

Me: "This has actually been going on for years. What makes it objectionable now?"

Someone: "I don't know. I just want to look at this shit that happened today!".

Either he's plunging headlong into authoritarianism, or his cheese is sliding off his cracker. Let's stop pretending one of those two things isn't true.

I'm going to side with the cheese option.

No, you just use the super simple functionality built into Acrobat Pro that cleanly and reliably does a proper job of this. Guarantee DOJ already has teams of e-discovery pros who do this all day every day for a wide range of civil and criminal litigation. I really can’t wrap my head around how they were this inept.

the twitter says that DOGE cut their Pro subscription lol

If that's a one year contract, that's seven every week.

Russia is sending multiples of that every volley at Ukraine.
