this is an extremely credulous take on republican wishcasting
like i am pretty sure i read this story in 2017 about how confederate statues and MS-13 were going to put ed gillespie in richmond
cook political has va gov at lean-D and i think that’s right. youngkin has a chance but he’ll basically have to run an impeccable campaign and hope for real missteps from t-mac. cookpolitical.com/ratings/govern…

@chrislhayes his political opponents brought it up constantly!
@chrislhayes this is from an 1802 letter from a former ally, James Thomson Callendar, whom Jefferson had snubbed for a patronage job. encyclopediavirginia.org/entries/the-pr…

the way you know vance is going to burn out immediately is that “shamefully apologizing for past transgressions” is the single thing you can’t do if you want to capture that MAGA energy mediaite.com/a/xreug
the only way to catch the MAGA train is to not have missed it in the first place. it’s why desantis is on the glide path to the GOP nomination (if trump doesn’t run again) while rubio is an also-ran
the successful MAGA politicians are the ones that merge uncritical fealty to trump with 80s teen comedy villain energy

a good deal of our contemporary reverence for the declaration of independence owes as much or more to lincoln's elevation & recontextualization of the document as it does to the document itself, so it is with that in mind that i want to mark today with a few words from lincoln.
"I have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this [Union] so long together."
"It was not the mere matter of the separation of the colonies from the mother land; but something in that Declaration giving liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but hope to the world for all future time."

beyond the script and performances, this is a movie that very much uses the language of cinema to convey its message

rewatching EDGE OF TOMORROW and i forgot the 🐐bill paxton is in this. RIP
paxton was practically born to play a drill sergeant in a sci-fi action film
god, the second of act of this movie — when the repeats get going — is flawless

i’ll say a good deal of my pop culture literacy came from those shows and watching reruns of old sitcoms on nick at nite and tv land.
could tell you only the most basic information about “friends” but could have a whole conversation about M.A.S.H
also, a lot of the stuff you would see on midday on like a saturday would be shows in syndication, which is how i saw a ton of the andy griffith show, matlock, murder she wrote, designing women, and in the heat of the night.
