If you want to know how the week is going, I just took a pillowcase out of the dryer, put it over my head thinking it was a t-shirt to wear to bed, spent 15 seconds inside it searching for the neckhole, and then mumbled “what is this, pants?”.

How is this real and how is he this bad at politics? Or humor? Or interacting with other humans?
Don’t believe this for a minute, but the GOP Senator from Kansas who secretly lives in Florida full-time, is visibly annoyed he has to campaign at all, and sued his patients for non-payment at the highest rate of any doctor in Kansas, would deserve this outcome in a just country.

This thing where Vance pretends to be dumb is getting to be a little much, even to those of us conditioned to tolerate how phony he is.
JD Vance on ranked choice voting: "I don't understand it. It seems to me that you have an election, the person who wins the most votes should win. That seems to be not what happens with ranked choice voting. The fact that it's so confusing to a person who pays pretty close attention to politics I think suggests we should do our elections in, like, the normal way."
Whew. Exhale. Now give him real power.
Milwaukee Brewers executive Matt Kleine is the focus of the Astros’ GM search, multiple sources tell @TheAthletic. No deal has been finalized or agreed upon, but Kleine is the Astros’ choice - nytimes.com/athletic/7712356…
The Millennials are so much better at talking about Trump than the Boomers. For all its faults, therapy culture really cuts Trump down to size.
I have to admire the way Trump is determined to make his most loyal voters eat shit and face that he never cared about anything but his own glory.

The millennial candidates are communicating on a different level.
Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”
Kansas has a Senator who routinely sued his ex-patients for minor medical bills, secretly lives primarily in Florida, and has no paid campaign staff, and now he’s locked in a close race he wasn’t expecting and is just hoping partisan loyalty drags him over the finish line. Rough.

.@Timodc: “The Republicans running don't wanna fucking live in real America. They all wanna live in Florida...They don't like the regular people. They like their fancy lobbyist boat life.”
This has always been the entire Paxton campaign. It’s a bet that voters are dumb and shallow, and politics is just a parasocial high school cafeteria.
No discussion of material issues. No defense of Paxton’s character even offered. Just in-group vs out-group psychology appeals.
Sen. @tedcruz (R-TX) on U.S. Sen. candidate James Talarico (D-TX): "If you were to sit down and make a list of the top 1,000 adjectives to describe James Talarico, masculine would not be one of them."

"Bibi Netanyahu, with due respect, wants the United States to fight a war against Iran on Israel's behalf," Pat Buchanan told Sean Hannity in 2018.
"Nobody's talking about fighting a war!" Hannity replied.
Guy realized he’s the obvious villain in the story after the documentary hit, and now it’s time to double down and become a right-wing influencer.

American politics is so stupid that when I tried to explain it to co-workers in Switzerland, one asked “is everyone too rich to care about real things, or too dumb to know what real things are?”
It’s a mix of the two!
Clay Travis claims The Cheesecake Factory was a childhood luxury. Except it didn't open in Nashville until he was 26.
@Timodc and @PabloTorre investigate the curious case of his restaurant nostalgia:
“We are now swift boating Clay Travis for Cheesecake Factory stolen valor.”
Most of the people who opine about politics in America are upper-middle class. They don’t care on a personal level about the amount of paperwork to qualify for food stamps, or even the price of gas. So, Cheesecake Factory wins out. More fun.
But the poorer masses take that bait!
Crane going to hire the entire baseball operations department and, uh, then the guy who will be their boss?
Just a mess.
If Republicans have a very bad night (I think they’ll perform better than expected), you do wonder how much Trump’s obvious guilt regarding Epstein is part of it.
So many rubes thought he was a hero about to expose all the liberal perverts. It was gospel in the 85 IQ community.
