Moving onto greener (or bluer) pastures now since this place is irretrievably condemned. It’s been real. If you want to reach me, I’m over at Bl*sky with the same username: bsky.app/profile/kbaxte…

I'm cautious about sayihg what I really feel right now, especially on this platform, because I know it would be mocked. And that, itself, is a symptom of what I see, the glee that many now take in other Americans' sadness and fear. We are remaking ourselves in his image.

This is an example of what Rs do every time they open their mouths now: not just lie, but lies which precisely reverse reality, to justify their monstrosities.
@JDVance knows Trump spent his entire first term persecuting opponents. He knows DOJ is prosecuting Trump for the crimes he committed during his term and after, not persecuting him. But he tells these lies precisely so Trump can be president again and abuse his powers.
Elon Musk puts his money where his mouth is. He not only supports someone for president who attempted to seize power; he’s not only donated $75 million+ to support Trump; he’s also tricked people into campaigning for Trump, transports them around in a U-Haul, and fired them.
NEW: Black canvassers Elon Musk’s America PAC were tricked, threatened, and driven in seatless U-Haul vans. They were then fired after WIRED reported on their plight—without full pay or a way back home.
scoop from @JakeLahut:

Trump said Cheney should be put before a military tribunal, and yet a bunch of people want to sit here and parse out if he “merely” fantasized about Cheney facing off with 9 rifles pointing at her, as if that matters. What’s wrong with all of you? cnn.com/2024/07/02/politics/…

This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant. #Womenwillnotbesilenced #VoteKamala

Scoop: Washington Post editor at large Robert Kagan confirms to me that he resigned from the Post following today's decision not to endorse in the presidential race.
Opinion staff at WaPo are furious about the paper's endorsement decision. Several are contemplating what action to take, ranging from resigning, quitting the board, or a statement. "If you doin't have the balls to own a newspaper, don't," one Post opinion employee tells me.

There’s bad takes, and then there’s this. Someone will have to invent a new word to represent the depths of shit this take plumbed.
To focus on Elon Musk's politics is to exhibit a ridiculous monomania that, among other things, badly misunderstands the wages of genius. Musk is a weirdo, yes. Most visionaries are. It's the least important thing about them. nationalreview.com/2024/10/t…
I know this isn’t actually important because Charles Cooke told me so. Anyone concerned about Musk’s descent into madness, and coordination with Vladimir Putin, is exhibiting ridiculous monomania.
"Putin asked Elon Musk to avoid activating his Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to Xi Jinping" is a real sentence in the WSJ story that just dropped.
Rather concerning!

Prominent members of the right-wing media elite touted John Kelly’s ability as White House chief of staff to impose discipline on then-President Donald Trump and prevent the nation from falling into chaos.
Now, Kelly is publicly describing the former president as a fascist bent on ruling the United States as a dictator if he returns to power — while Trump is making clear that he will not allow himself to be surrounded by similar figures who could act as guardrails in a second term — and the same figures are still backing his candidacy.

The spin here is that Trump is.... unaware that the Nazis were bad?

When a former Trump official comes out with a story demonstrating Trump’s unfitness for office, nihilistic Trump defenders leap into action, questioning the motives, context, or credibility of the individual making the claim. They’re doing this right now with General Kelly.
If only the president who systematically convinced his supporters that the election he lost was fraudulent so he could seize power and end our republic, would admit what he did, then he would be winning this election. - Guy Benson

This guy has credulously repeated piles of the most obvious RW propaganda ever since he made his heel turn. He's in no position to tell anyone about critical thinking.
It’s a good thing, as Charles Cooke wrote, that Musk’s conspiracy theories regarding January 6th, embrace of white nationalism, and bankrolling the Trump campaign is just some harmless eccentricities of an inventor. If it had real world impact, that would be concerning.
*the night of the election, the president says he has won, and the election is being stolen. then organizes the GOP into manufacturing lies about made up irregularities so people believe it was stolen*
this person: it’s the Democrats’ fault this happened
