I predict this exchange between a reporter and McCarthy…
“What evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors do you have to go forward with impeachment?”
“In two words - Hunter Biden.”
The right-wing doesn’t need a real reason or even a reason that makes sense. They just need something that can fit on bumper sticker. Plus - there’s the added benefit that mocking norms and not even pretending about the way things should work drives libs insane.
Guess who said it…
A self-made legend and American treasure, Jimmy Buffett, will be sorely missed and joyfully celebrated from coast to coast, sea to sea. We crossed paths once in Austin and had many laughs that evening over a few glasses of red. Wish we’d gotten to do it again. RIP, Jimmy. We learned to be cool from you.

I wonder who that will be. My money is still on Nikki Haley. Although it would be much better if Trump went goblin mode and chose somebody like Kid Rock.
There’s still room for improvement. For example - Biden actually dies of old age and after a bruising battle - Kamala takes over.
Hello, go fuck yourself.

“They got mad at me when I said it but they do run the world!”
MSNBC had this doctor on to talk about the horrible situation in Gaza.
I don’t know anything about him - I copy and pasted that for context.
I was listening to in the background so I don’t know how long the interview was. I think ~7 minutes at least. I noticed something very unusual. Almost zero questions. Stephanie Ruhle was interviewing him. Ruhle isn’t rude but it’s her habit to pepper guests with questions. She always does that. I’ve never seen her be so quiet. Also - MSNBC’s PR shtick is that they ask questions and it makes you smarter. I forget an recent tagline - it was something like “Never stop asking questions”.
It’s the norm that anchors/reporters ask a lot of questions. In one way - the lack of questions was really great. He was highly knowledgeable and informed the audience in stark terms about how awful things are. That’s the first time I’ve seen that on CNN or MSNBC. But the producers must have had him on because even though he didn’t pull punches about the medical situation - they knew he was very politic and he’d avoid “politics”.
The end result was that the agent of the chaos, Israel, hardly came up at all. It was like these horrible unfolding health problems were happening all by themselves due to unknown or poorly understood causes.
