Just so I understand, President Pudding Brain has primaried a bunch of GOP senators and congressmen, so for the next seven months they’ve got no incentive to go along with the things he wants, until the next election when democrats will most likely win at least one house of congress, possibly two

I think there's also a certain type of Jaded and Savvy (tm) pose that says "the US has always done Bad Things, so Trump is really no different than Obama/Clinton/whoever." To which I say: grow up.

Rahm's really got his finger on the pulse of Democratic primary voters.

To rework David St. Hubbins, "how much more wrong could this be? None, none more wrong."

lmao these wreckers can fuck all the way off. posted right after Kim got pepper sprayed on the front lines.

Yes, things were better in 1983 when gay people were pariahs with no rights and Reagan was cruising to a historic landslide and impoverishing huge segments of the country. Also, "socialists" believe Americans are unthinking sheep who are mindlessly believe whatever they see. Flawless.

To be fair I’m pretty sure that Luntz’s tweet was intentionally satirical.

This sentence shows everything wrong with the Times: "Mr. Trump certainly brings some advantages, including a super PAC with a $350 million war chest" [Sounds impressive!] "that allies are anxious for him to start spending" [wait, what???!!!] www.nytimes.com/2026/05/25/u...

This x 1000. If SCOTUS hadn’t rewritten the Constitution, Harris would be president now and Trump would have multiple other felony convictions. If you’re whining about Merrick Garland, you’re announcing that you’re delusional and/or an ignoramus.

This comes from *one* source and the fourth paragraph admits it’s bullshit:

I'll ignore the fact that he's pretending to read the minds of tens (100s?) of thousands of people he's never met to make a simple point: "bubble" works as a meaningless and bad faith insult here. We understand Trump and his supporters and reactionary centrists like Matty Y. There's no "bubble."

There's a certain type of commenter on Bluesky who genuinely believes that Imaginary Liberals are the real enemy and because of that you can make up the most idiotic bullshit and still expect to be taken seriously.

This is literally @nytpitchbot.bsky.social territory.

Huh. www.inquirer.com/politics/joh...

I've never really cared about this DNC autopsy report nonsense because what is it about that report that is any more insightful a "take" than the million other takes I've read about the 2024 election? It's not some kind of inside dope. The whole thing is silly.

The Soviets did it better.

He's got a point: people aren't paying for WaPo because it's definitely not good enough.

New Insane Clown Posse song just dropped.

You're probably looking at the headline and thinking "wow, that's really stupid." If you read the article, you'll see it's *vastly* more stupid than you thought.

Siver lining: Trump is now thoroughly convinced that he must be personally involved in every race in the mid-terms. That's not going to work out the way he thinks it will. And the GOP pols know it, they just can't do anything about it. #MAGAbubble

This came through as a bunch of vibeprogs were insisting that Obama could have magically installed a SCOTUS justice without Senate confirmation, since Article II is only a “norm.”

Serious question: what is "class consciousness" in a post-industrial society? Whatever it is, posting on the Nazi bar is the opposite of it.

Absolutely true, and this really highlights how there’s no one in the GOP who has the talent to follow Trump.

It takes an act of willful stupidity to post this after SCOTUS declared Trump was immune. I'm so tired of this bullshit.

1. I strongly believe that racism and misogyny were the biggest factors in Harris' loss, and that a replacement level white guy like Walz could have won in 2024. 2. I also believe that Trump could make the GOP so toxic that a woman could win in 2028.

Remember, gang -- it's always the Democrats' fault! www.inquirer.com/politics/don...

I think these arguments are pointless. Is "the food" better in Manhattan than in Milton Keynes? Obviously. Is it better in London than Indianapolis? Of course. Etc. No way to generalize about countries of ~70 and ~340 million.

It's also telling -- and damning -- that the "trifecta" excludes SCOTUS.

At times such as these, it's important to remember who the real villains are: the Democrats. And if that requires posting tendentious bullshit, well, that's a price worth paying.

I bet a lot of the people mad at McKinsey have much warmer feelings for a certain former Blackwater employee

Someone vaguely familiar with Occam’s razor or literally anything about politics would understand that it’s Mike Johnson, not Hakeem Jeffries, who’s counting votes.

Golden sucks, but there was no way this was passing. If he had voted yes, another Republican would have voted no.

This is why you should always read the article: both the governor and the Senate majority leader expressed support for redistricting. Anyway, redistricting would require a referendum so it would be very hard to pull that off before the June primaries.

"Hello, President Trump. I plan to make you my bitch." "Kon'nichiwa, Mr. Miyagi. Did you know Arnold Palmer had a really big schlong? Also, thank you for torturing John McCain."

A film director worth $60 million is whining about "privilege" because people won't listen to his idiotic ideas.

Best Bridges Ever would be a great list. Off the top of my head: “Fight the Power,” Public Enemy (if “Elvis was a hero”) is a bridge. “Levi Stubbs Tears,” Billy Bragg. “Tibetan Pop Stars” Hop Along. “Superbad,” James Brown. Yes, that’s obvious. So what?

If a Mamdani can win the primary (aka an AOC) then you will get a Mamdani. If not, you won't. "The Dems" don't do shit; it's the will of millions of primary voters who you need to convince. And remember that your "I love this politician" candidate is someone else's "hold my nose" candidate

MI'll guarantee that Murk got permission to flip because the GOP knew they had Fetterman. Fetterman still needs to go, but there's no way this was passing.

"I don't give a shit about anything besides an empty playground that's...just like tens of thousands of playgrounds currently all over America. Wait, I got my homeland back! Huzzah!"

If you hate that court packing is on the table, you should be be blaming Roberts & co. A merely conservative Court that hadn't gone so batshit insane would not be facing that as a credible threat.

Sounds like Eliot Cohen wrote the same piece, unsurprisingly: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The only people who kept Trump out of jail are the conservatives on SCOTUS.

Hey, WaPo, here's a tip. People who love the news used to subscribe to your paper. They bailed when you turned it into a litter box made of words. You're not going to get people who hate news to pay to hear lazy, misinformed white people say nothing.

He's a former NFL cornerback who served two terms in the TX legislature and did 18 months in a nothing position in the first Trump administration. As with everyone in this admin, he has no business being in that position.

Here's a giveaway: Sozzi provides this quotation with no context and no link. What seems to be the actual report says Brent at $120-$130 (it's $108 as I write) and headline inflation at as much as 5%. Seems like Sozzi is intentionally misrepresenting the report. investinglive.com/commodities/...

The trick to successful personality politics is in constantly giving up the spotlight, while remaining present. Mamdani uses "I" precisely twice in this entire video. He uses "we" or "our" 22 times. He mentions multiple other politicians by name, giving them credit. This is mastery of the form.
