erick I assure you the people who most fervently supported her were well aware of q anon and your continued refusal to admit what “the base” of your party is makes me suspicious you either have brain damage or are simply pretending in order to help them advance
I mean what is it, republican voters are a bunch of fuckin morons out of touch with the current political dynamics, or republican voters are conspiracy obsessed bigoted goons
I would just once like to see one of these professional GOP pundits who are supposed to be so smart and politically savvy they can go on all the teevee shows for big brain political analysis just come out and admit this “we didn’t know” bullshit is the david duke playbook
I mean this is pretty much saying “I’m a terrible pundit with no clue whatsoever what’s going on inside my own state within the group of politically aligned people I most closely identify with and analyze for a living” while presenting itself as in-the-know political punditry
it would be like if a doctor walked up to you today, in january 2021, and said “hey fella have you heard about this covid virus? apparently it’s around? wild! just discovered last month. can I operate on you?”

every ballpark should either have identical dimensions, or every ballpark should be so comically different that scores routinely range from 49-38 to 1-0
it’s so incredibly absurd that instead of just having a dimension rule baseball has a range of allowable dimension options. either have a rule or let people put the outfield wall one foot behind second base
I want a park with alligator teeth shaped outfield walls. I want a park where you can hit the ball into a giant 50’ tall plinko wall located ten feet behind first base. I want a park with a million snooker bumpers in the extremely low roof
I’m not gonna amplify the content on purpose but professional cretins like michael tracey & david reboi are part of an elite goon strike force who recognize the crisis of AOC recounting her capitol experience & immediately go crashing in with the shittiest takes possible
they want to get dunked on as hard as possible so the more sophisticated members of the goon squad can say shit like welllllllll I don’t agree with how they said it all BUT
and then the top tier most erudite members of the goon squad can crank out their “wow you just want to cancel anyone who’s just asking questions huh I guess they’re onto something” takes
honestly, the churn-em-out political book industry and the bizarre downstream effects caused by its gross incentive structure is one of the most under discussed aspects of the modern state of alternate reality politics
there’s increasing evidence a lot of these books exist solely as money laundering vehicles to relocate PAC money into campaigns without leaving a clear trail. it’s a very fascinating scheme that’s not yet reached broad awareness
one of the funnier genres of trump tweets were his constant book promotions of books by all the MAGA mill hacks, the most obvious paid commercials of the era
the calculus here is expectations are low but by having the conversation joe gets the upper hand in narrating the who’s who of unreasonable players
you’d rather get to say “I tried but listen jack these people would say no to a free ice cream cone, whattayagonnado god love ‘em” than not be able to say it
this is fascinating in that anybody who COULD do the job competently simply won’t take it, meaning his only options are kamikaze incompetents who cannot actually not bring any value to the table beyond what trump himself could do himself
he is CLEARLY not taking advice from anyone with half a clue so realistically why would he even feel the need to pay for advice from the crazy lawyer bin that’s going to be just as bad as the advice he gives himself for free?
oh, I’ve gotta file briefings? here’s my briefing *photocopies his ass*
