While his plummeting polling numbers are certainly welcome news, it is still infuriating to see them and know that none of this should be happening, because if all of those people now saying they don't approve of his presidency had either gotten off their butts and voted or just not voted for...

Between Hassett's "rude and dismissive" remarks and Bessent throwing shade over the Blue Jay's loss it's clear that our administration is treating foreign and trade policy like a clique of shallow high school teenagers - it's Mean Girls in charge of trade and foreign policy. Except that the Mean...

Our record against State since 2000 is extremely frustrating, but not all that surprising, given how much State hates us and pretty much bases their entire football season around whether they beat us or not. And Doeren knows that beating UNC is the key to keeping his job and plans accordingly -...

+1. Trump 2.0 has created a true Putin-style kleptocracy right in the very heart of our federal government, and all of the usual suspects seem to be profiting very handsomely from it while they also grift their rube, ridiculously trusting MAGA base of every dollar they can. Add in that they are...

I wonder how much of that change in perception is due to the economic factors mentioned - constantly rising tuition and dwindling federal loans and other ways to pay the tuition, changing job market - and how much is due to the right wing's massive assault on public and higher ed generally...

True, but I do think that MAGA has massively escalated this assault in recent years. We haven't seen this kind of assault on the professional classes since at least the Second Red Scare/McCarthyism of the late 40s/early 50s. And this MAGA assault is nationwide, while many other similar attacks...

UK and probably Georgetown are going to be tough without Seth, but still winnable. The rest we should win. As I said earlier, I still think we're much better team overall this year than last year, and this one game hasn't changed my opinion. MSU is a potential Final Four/championship team this...

Agreed, but I'd add that a huge motivation for the Trump GOP is deep resentment and pure hatred and jealousy of America's college-educated professional classes, and a powerful desire to make them suffer and lower them to their level of economic frustration and failure. MAGA is basically...

After his first term several polls of historians rated him either dead last or consistently among our 3 worst presidents (along with James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson). I expect after he finally leaves office for good - either through death or term limits - he will have solidified his place as...

Or, Stephen Miller's wet dream. Miller has no doubt been waiting for just something like this to happen to increase his crackdown on non-white, non-Christian immigrants.

This is nothing but pure White Nationalist racist drivel, plain and simple. And yet there are people here who will defend it, because MAGA!

He does this shit all the time - a supporter dies or like Kirk is killed, and after offering a whiff of sympathy he switches to talking about himself and something totally irrelevant to the topic but which is focused on him. He's literally incapable of feeling any sympathy or empathy for others...

Agreed, but one thing I think many people, including some liberals, still don't get is that our news media has taken a hard shift to the right in the last few years, even since Trump's first term. Trump and others are able to frame the narrative because there are more and more right-wing...

Trumpers gonna Trump. Hypocrisy is the GOP's middle name.

Social Darwinist Robber Baron plutocrats going to Social Darwinist Robber Baron plutocrat. There's a reason why these people are obscenely wealthy, and it's not because they're generous or charitable or nice guys. They're selfish and greedy as hell - what was it that the Vanderbilts said in the...
