"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)"

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

Having seen even more advertisers flee Twitter after Elon fired off antisemitic comments on the social media platform, and after ads were discovered to be running alongside Nazi tweets, he is now attempting to rehabilitate his image via a transparently fake act of contrition: a photo-op visit to Auschwitz.
The success of this PR tactic will depend on whether he can manage to go more than an hour without making a Holocaust joke.

Flashback Quote of the Day

“In a matter of weeks, Ron will bend the knee and endorse Donald Trump.”
— Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), at his debate with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).
-Doug in Sugar Pine
Nancy Mace just bent the knee and endorsed Trump. Extra-pathetic, after previously portraying herself as the sane, normal, rational Republican, not like those OTHER lunatics.
But here she is, slipping into a straitjacket and getting ready to parrot back whatever delusional word salad Trump has just uttered.
They’re all garbage. The entire Republican Party.
Just what is a sane, normal and rational republican? Probably not Nancy Mace, the poor woman forced to wear a Tee-shirt telling us all that she is an adultress. You can scarcely blame republicans for being frightened of Trump. One word and he can destroy their careers. I guess just having the nerve to stand up to the monster gives a republican some cover. Brad Kinzinger? Chris Christie? Most of the good republicans died a long time ago.
Tea with Mussolini
"Just what is a sane, normal and rational republican? Probably not Nancy Mace, the poor woman forced to wear a Tee-shirt telling us all that she is an adultress."
Instead of a scarlet "A" for "adultress," it should have been a scarlet "C" for "coward."

Orban says he is expediting Sweden's NATO approval in his legislature.
-Doug in Sugar Pine
The man who now needs a beard
“Orban says he is expediting Sweden's NATO approval in his legislature.”
I guess that must mean that the other NATO members either threatened or bribed him sufficiently to stop his obstruction.
Hopefully threatened and not bribed. He definitely doesn’t deserve any bribes.
RIP Melanie.

Gave him a SAAB😆
“Gave him a SAAB”
Well, since Saab automobiles are not made anymore, I guess giving him a Saab would mean giving him one of these.
Hungary already have some, and I don’t think they should have more, given that their government is basically fascist and friendly to Putin. Maybe the rest of NATO should kick Hungary out?

Doug,
It looks like the love tribute to Melanie is happening in the Youtube comments tonight. Interesting reactions to a powerful woman and, of course, and extremely powerful song. I only heard it one time on the radio as a kid. I must have recorded a snippet on cassette. It wasn't top 40. Must have been the might MET. But it touched my eleven-year old heart. The spirit of festival, love and peace.

I heard that one on the radio a bunch of times.

It almost certainly will get worse. The pseudo-Republican Manchin is likely to be replaced by an actual Republican.
Well, here is the bribe that Turkey received for approving Sweden’s membership of NATO. So my comments about Hungary getting bribed with Saab fighter jets is possibly not far off the mark. It seems like it would be better to just kick Turkey and Hungary out of NATO? I get the impression Turkey’s government doesn’t much care whether Russia invades Europe, while Hungary’s government actively wants it to happen.

Since Trump refuses to mount any kind of legal defense, and instead rants and raves in court and calls the judge a bum and the proceedings a witch hunt, and instructs his attorney to do the same, good luck winning an appeal.
It’s pretty hard to win if you don’t even try.

Almost 84 million. Let's see if he keeps talking about Ms. Carroll. :)
His response on Truth Social ranted about a Biden directed witch hunt and whined about an out of control justice system, but didn't mention Ms. Carroll by name, so maybe it worked a little?

For how long? The dude has very poor impulse control.
Seems like something that mischievous anti-Trump individuals could exploit in order to inflict misery on him. Just publicly accuse him of raping Ms. Carroll and watch him immediately explode and denounce her as a lying bitch.

E. Jean Carroll says she plans to piss Fergus off with the money he has to give her:
Asked how she plans to use the eight-figure sum, Carroll said, “I’d like to give the money to something Donald Trump hates.”
“If it will cause him pain for me to give money to certain things, that’s my intent,” she added.
The writer said she’s also considering starting “a fund for the women who have been sexually assaulted by Donald Trump.”

Fuck you, she'll re-record her albums, now way better since she's been touring the material for years, and which version do you think her fans will buy?

Not saying all wingnuts are this demented, but let’s be real, voting Republican is starting to look like a dangerous manifestation of some kind of psychosis.

Meanwhile, if they want to continue hanging out in an unmoderated hellscape, all the Twitter Nazi trolls can relocate to TruthSocial to jerk each other off and praise Trump and trade dumb conspiracy theories, and leave everyone else in peace.

The DC circuit finally pulled their thumbs out of their butts (h/t: Show Me Progress):
We have balanced former President Trump’s asserted interests in executive immunity against the vital public interests that favor allowing this prosecution to proceed. We conclude that “[c]oncerns of public policy, especially as illuminated by our history and the structure of our government” compel the rejection of his claim of immunity in this case. See Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. at 747–48. We also have considered his contention that he is entitled to categorical immunity from criminal liability for any assertedly “official” action that he took as President — a contention that is unsupported by precedent, history or the text and structure of the Constitution. Finally, we are unpersuaded by his argument that this prosecution is barred by “double jeopardy principles.” Accordingly, the order of the district court is AFFIRMED. [….]
So ordered.
So he got what he wanted: a long delay that will get even longer with en banc appeals and appeals to the goddamn supremes, who could have cut this all short and not denied Jack Smith when he asked them to just take the case because they were going to get it anyway no matter what. That makes them complicit in the goddamn delay strategy unless they quickly decide to refuse to hear the case and thus only add another month to the delay.

“In an unexpected development, my horrible. horrible congresscritter, Tom the fuck McClintock, voted with the sane and stopped the house from impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas.”
Huh. Sanity prevails, for now.
Although the Republicans swear they’ll try again to impeach him, since they prefer pointless, “eff you, Democrats” gestures to solving any of the country’s real problems.
Note: The exact same House Republicans refuse to provide any additional resources or powers to allow Biden to resolve the asylum seeker bum-rush at the border, because they don’t actually want it resolved; rather, they want it to continue so they can blame Biden for it happening.
Biden won the Nevada Democratic primary, while Nikki Haley lost to "none of these candidates" in the Republican primary, which Fergus wasn't running in.
-Doug in Sugar Pine
Well, Republican senators care so deeply about the “chaos at the border” they keep screaming about, that they have officially refused to pass a bill to do anything to address it.
Perhaps this is because they don’t actually give a crap about governing, and instead just see scaremongering about brown-skinned “invaders” as beneficial to their election chances?

I’m pretty disgusted at the actions of special prosecutor Robert Hur. It’s very evident that when he found he couldn’t prosecute Biden for withholding classified documents, because Biden’s actions didn’t rise to the level of criminality, Hur got scared that his fellow Republicans would ostracize him for failing to “deliver” for them. So he decided to verbally trash Biden using Trump’s (and Nikki Haley’s) attack lines about his alleged senility instead, as compensation.
This is highly unprofessional behavior for a prosecutor.
I don’t know why Merrick Garland felt the need to appoint a Republican to handle this matter anyway. It’s not like it was ever going to make Republicans respect the outcome. They were always going to declare the investigation biased and rigged in Biden’s favor, unless it resulted in his conviction and execution for treason.
Shorter Hur: It worked when Comey did it...
-Doug in Sugar Pine
“Shorter Hur: It worked when Comey did it...”
Hur’s unnecessary, sneery, off-topic commentary on Biden was worse than what Comey said about Clinton, when each announced the conclusion of his investigation that no charges were warranted.
The United States Supreme Court absolutely destroyed the Colorado case against Trump. The harshest and most pointed questioning from the bench came from two of the most liberal justices. If it isn't a 7-2 or 8-1 decision putting Trump back on the ballot, it'd be a surprise
TRUMP 2024!!
The framers of the constitution never envisioned a president inciting an insurrection, or a political party so batshit insane as to refuse to use the mechanism they included for removing a bad president right after being attacked by a mob sent by said president to stop the transfer of power.
Y'all are doing your damnedest to prove Putin right when he claims that democracies are too chaotic and unwieldy to function properly.
And calling for a second civil war all the while.
Well, here's your damn civil war: It now falls to us, the sane majority, to prove y'all wrong at the ballot box.
