It's amazing how the one instance where leftists' theory of "we have to hit rock bottom before we can have Revolution" might ACTUALLY WORK is immigration rights. Trump might just usher in the open borders I've supported my entire adult life.

Calling it now: in ten or twenty years' time, when people write award-bait movies/plays/shows about this time period, they will lionize the conservative white dudes like Fetterman and Massie while shitting all over the libs who were yelling about this shit since 2015 and before. You watch.

Indivisible's theory of Democratic influence is that you punish Democrats when they do things you don't like, but—and this is crucial!—you ALSO punish Democrats when they do things you like. The key is that you must always, no matter what, hate Democrats. That's how to change the party.

The thing about the “acktually armed resistance is the only way to revolution” reply guys is that the ones who aren’t feds have no plans for armed revolution: they just want an excuse to stay at home and jerk off while feeling morally superior to the people doing the actual work or resistance.

Something I've been mulling over wrt the vaccine bullshit—I think one reason RFK might be doing this is so that people who get vaccinated won't be eligible for the "vaccine harm" reimbursement. He's been obsessed with the fact that the govt, not pharma companies, pay for any claims of vaccine harm.

How many fucking times does this have to be repeated? 1. Impeachment is done by the House, not the Senate. 2. The House is controlled by Republicans, not Democrats. 3. Democrats already impeached him, twice. Republicans refused to convict him, both times. 4. Republicans also control the Senate.

Considering that the American public has suffered a mass delusion for like 70 years that the GOP is better on the economy (seriously, I want to read a book about this particular bonkers belief), this is kind of staggering

IS3FG if it turns out Weiss is a sleeper agent for Democrats

I just uploaded @jasonparis.bsky.social 's recording of the segment CBS News pulled from "60 Minutes" to YouTube:

...did Trump gin up this whole war on the assumption that, because previous US wars were profitable for oil companies, oil companies will automatically want him to go to war with whatever random oil-having country he remembers the name of and would therefore reward him???

I'm so glad this is happening, also resigned to the fact that these four men will be given more plaudits for this one act than any Democrat, anywhere, will be given for anything

I read this and sincerely, fuck Aaron Agosto for writing it. Fuck these people for voting for a cruel bigot who made them feel smug about their own cruel bigotry, and FUCK Politico for once again taking a potshot at Democrats for no fucking reason other than that they hate their mommies.

Pundits will give 100x more credit to a couple of GOP state legislators in Indiana for this one thing than they will ever, ever give to any Democrat ever. Count on it.

Weird how this will pass without comment, but a female politician calling the GOP "full of shit" the other day was called a vulgar tryhard

We're gonna find out that there was some sort of custody dispute and Leavitt's brother called ICE on this poor woman

wait WHAT

Ah well

The thing is, Nuzzi was always a bad writer, was always a hack, and was always a lazy asshole. But she was young and blonde and funny at parties and flattered men's egos and worked the system flawlessly—that I will give her, she is a master strategist—to get herself invited into the right circles.

It's sort of fascinating to see how every single outrage from Republicans is instantly turned around and made into an arbitrary litmus test for Democrats.

The day before early election starts, when most Dems will actually be paying attention and it will have the most impact, all the while allowing Mamdani to maintain his outsider/progressive appeal by making it a "last minute" endorsement. It's almost like Jeffries is a good politician or something.

The number of tough guys in the mentions and QTs saying stupid shit like "THREATENING DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING GROW SOME BALLS AND JUST JAIL HER" is annoying but unsurprising. Fully half the reason we're in this mess right now is because men have decided that laws are womanish and therefore stupid.

Any lawyer who uses AI should immediately and irrevocably lose their license.

Almost every Democratic politician who's been near a microphone in the past few days has said the exact same thing, but the media is going to treat Cruz as a brave truthteller for repeating it Something to keep in mind when you read pundits complaining about feckless cowardly Dems

This is a newish account because I need to yell about politics, so for the record: I believe that any person who wants to become an American citizen should be an American citizen. No exceptions, no caveats. Our country is exceptional and we should want as many people as possible to share that.

This is a great thread full of replies from the kind of exgamergate dickheads who pretend to be leftist but love nothing more than telling Jews we're stupid k*kes for getting uppity and thinking "antisemitism" refers to us. Anyway as always: 50% of gamergaters went Trump and 50% went "leftist"

I recently turned on the "see retweets of people I follow" function again, and I've counted over a dozen RTs of men chiding at the imagined "glee" they claim people are showing at Kirk's death. ONLY men, to be clear.

It is FASCINATING to see how many white men are chiding unnamed and (as far as I've seen) nonexistent people who are "celebrating" the shooting of Charlie Kirk. Just a complete lack of any sort of self-awareness. It's remarkable.

They were soon handcuffed, stripped of their belongings and shuffled to the back of the building. Orozco Forero said she showed an ICE officer a letter from Juan David’s doctors approving a biopsy; the officer tore it apart, she said. “This no longer works,” the officer told her.

If your reaction to shit Republicans do is to say "why aren't Democrats talking about this/stopping this/doing the exact same shit but leftistly" then I know your take is worthless and you will never be worth listening to. You just want to be angry at Mommy, that's your entire political stance.

*Stares at this thread in Hillary Clinton*

The reason I am screenshotting this is because OP turned off the ability to reply or quote his posts. He wants to control exactly how people engage; aka making the site unwelcoming, saying who he doesn't want talking to him, setting rules for what other people should say in response. Interesting!

For the dipshit that insisted Drey only won because the Republican candidate was "really weak:" suck it

I love how the implication is that Democratic politicians should apologize for some random focus group's shitty memo.

Horseshit chickenshit. My dad went to U of M and I donated to them in his honor; that ends today.

"Why aren't Democrats talking about this???" Because they are and you will not do the slightest amount of work to see it. If someone hasn't personally DMed you or put something in your feed you don't believe it's happening. It's absolutely maddening.

My pet theory that I have zero evidence for is that it all went wrong once Lucas decided not to introduce Luke's twin sister (who was supposed to be a whole different character), and instead shoehorn Leia into the role because god forbid there be TWO women

Yeah okay honestly Jeffries what the fuck are you doing. This is my rep now and I've had tons of problems with him, but this is ridiculous

Seems like the strategy to make Mamdani seem like a maverick who doesn't need or want mainstream democratic backing is working really, really, really well

The problem is that anyone who has this job has a target on their back from the dickheads pushing the "technology investment." There's a long history of grifters going after the people who point out their grift.

Welp

All of them except New Orleans, Honolulu, and all the ones in Florida.

Democrats are the moms of the country in that everything wrong within the "family" (society, politics, the country in general) is blamed on them regardless of who actually started it.

There's a certain type of person who will say something unkind in the midst of an argument and then, upon finding out that the remark cut deeper than they'd expected, apologize. There is another type of person who will gleefully double down and enjoy the hurt they inflicted.

I am for open borders, absolutely and unapologetically. If you put your feet on American soil and declare that you wish to be an American citizen, that should be enough to grant you citizenship.
