Honestly, the first thing I thought when I read about what Patel is doing.
"All the FBI needs now to complete a scene from, say, The Death of Stalin, is for Patel to run down the hallways shouting, “I have documents on all of you!” @RadioFreeTom Truth that! theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
The Ragtag Globalist Demonrats was my college Pink Floyd tribute band
Tom Nichols has TDS And The Atlantic is a ragtag Globalist demonrat magazine Deep State personified in both cases
(I did, actually, see Midnight Run in a theater when it came out.)
Nope. Absolutely not. Not this guy. Not Tom Nichols. You are wholly unqualified to participate in this discussion. You ain't the one, brother. Go pretend you saw Midnight Run in the theater again. That oughta regain some lost boomer clout
"A man blessed with a concerned doctor, a dedicated counselor, a wise priest, a few good friends, and a great love in his life can overcome much. But a man with all of those and a marvelous cat can really cover a lot of distance." theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar…
As he admitted in the clip.
Mehdi Hasan is not an economist either.
This is practically my theme song.
I spend a lot of time defending liberal democracy before right wing audiences and I'm alarmed to find those audiences, elite and general, more and more opposed. I should probably write about this; the *conservative* case for our liberal inheritance remains strong.
I saw Tom and his band at the Berklee Performance Center back in 1982. During a rendition of Comfortably Numb, Tom suffered a tragic stage accident that left him in his current condition.
Here I am at Columbia with my CIA handler
That's not what you did at Columbia Deep State CIA snake Someone here on X will dig you out from under your rock I'm sure
What is it with people doing this in cars?
Michael Flynn is calling on Trump to confiscate the passport of Obama. These people are so F—king disingenuous. The Senate Intel Committee led by the GOP and the independent Robert Mueller report literally found that Russia interfered in our election to try to help Trump.
The only real conclusion to be drawn from Trump playing culture war hits like “bring the Redskins back” is that he is terrified of the Epstein stuff and terrified of losing his base by refusing to release the files.
This is interesting because, as everyone knows, “hoax” is Trump jargon for “wholly true” theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
"It is a lie." Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) says Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's threat to refer Obama administration officials for prosecution over the intelligence assessment in Russia's interference in the 2016 election is "dangerous" and "puts people at risk."…
This is just the saddest thing you'll see all week and it's only Sunday. These are folks who are encased in a bubble of three-inch thick Lucite. They're never coming back.
I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.' Below are some brief highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Here's the full eye-opening 'debate': youtube.com/watch?v=2S-WJN…
A guy just told @mehdirhasan that he's an American because his family came here in the 1500s
A fine Death of Expertise moment here. "Are you an economist?" "I could be." "But you're not?" "I'm gonna major in it."
There's a whole cult of people who find clouds terrifying
Reading @GregIles "Southern Man." This is the best, single paragraph I've read that succinctly breaks down the reasons for the rise of Donald Trump.
Feeling pretty good about my choice to donate my tickets to a concert by this guy to a charity last year instead of going.
Respectfully @maggieNYT. With the hard evidence released by @DNIGabbard that the media participated with @comey and Brennan to create and disseminate the "Russian Collusion" narrative to ravage a President elect, will you be returning your Pulitzer Prize? And if not, why not?
