antifa and trans groomers are just the 21st century version of satanic panic: shit right wingers came up with to be afraid of that don't exist in reality

“Yes or no, BRENDAN?!” is the energy all Congressional Democrats need to become a real live opposition party. Never heard of Senator Luhan before, but if he’s like this a lot let’s get him in front of more microphones.

Politics is a team sport and people rarely start rooting for Ohio State after being Michigan fans their whole lives, but sometimes it happens. People also have a great ability to lie to themselves about what they're doing...they say "but the other side is also bad" or "but I think he means well."

Like most Republicans these days, it's Wiles who is suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. A person with a basic sense of morality and decency would simply walk away from such a deranged person and the party that enables him. It's not that hard. Many have done so. Susie has chosen not to.

Something that’s been overlooked in the storm surrounding the Vanity Fair piece on Susie Wiles is that it’s transitive proof of what @jamellebouie.net has said for months: In a practical sense, Trump is not POTUS. That job is being performed by a committee of three: Vance, Rubio, and Miller.

"Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life."

Every time a young person dies in a school shooting a Heritage Institute intern gets their pocket square

i love woody allen catching strays

If the last ten years have taught us anything it's that nobody knows what will resonate with the American public, least of all the paid politics knowers. Might as well go with your moral instincts around right and wrong. This was obviously wrong on day one, and it was right to fight for him.

shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights

Eight months ago vs today. 🤡 @atrupar.com @cnbc.com @cbsnews.com

I guess the question of whether the military will refuse to follow illegal orders has been answered today. They’ll even commit piracy on Trump’s command.

@nickbaumgardner.bsky.social Just hear me out. What if this guy coaches both teams?

So sad to see these Welfare Queens always living on government handouts. Must be something wrong with their culture. They should try pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, as we real Americans do here in Los Angeles and other major cities.

By the way this is why I know they’re lying when they say they knew who was on the boats and they’re all on a military list. The US military had somehow built a dossier on Robert Sanchez, the boat pilot living in a cinderblock house and earning $100 a month? He was next on the kill list after Osama?

We’re two days away from finding out the t-shirt was white and hearing GOP zombies insist that “Waving a white flag on the high seas is a direct threat to the United States.”

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

“What’s your plan for the Court?” is the only question that matters for 2028 Democratic hopefuls, because if they don’t, the Republican Super Legislature is hatcheting their agenda before it can get off the ground.

Yep, the Supreme Court really is just a House of Lords—a purely political branch with bizarre veto power, wielded capriciously and without accountability. Time for massive reform.

This guy *definitely* didn’t want the army to shoot protesters and its uncivil to claim otherwise

Awesome, why don’t you show us the whole tape, then? Without edits.

JFC.

When are they bombing Wall Street?

nbc news once gave this woman like $40million for a daytime talk show targeted to stay at home moms

Whererin the amateur drunk. professional wife beater, and brave war fighting war fighter courageously pushes an admiral overboard.

Loose lips sink ships, Pete. Literally.

Last week: In response to WaPo’s story on the Sept. 2 boat strikes, the Pentagon says “This entire narrative is completely false.” Today: The White House confirms that a 2nd strike happened and that “Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes”

Prediction: Trump's pardons are going to become increasingly wild to the point that they break through and start to move the needle with the Normies. The watershed moment will be when he pardons Hegseth.

Just once I'd like to hear a TV news anchor say, "Sir, that's not true, and if you keep insisting it is, we're going to end this interview to protect our viewers from further disinformation. And we won't invite you back."

And yet, he did, so

The grocery order three days after you run dangerously low on dish soap while cooking a full Thanksgiving. As god as my witness, I will never go without dish soap again.

My favorite thing is when the person lies and the news guy is like “but is that true?” and the person goes yep and the news guy goes “alright thanks for joining us”

When the NATIONAL GODDAMNED REVIEW is like “Hey, uh, you just murdered those dudes.”

The reflexive “Alright, moving on” from network moderators is genuinely harming the country. I’m not asking them all to turn into Isaac Chotiner overnight, but at some point - like when the DHS Sec kinda-sorta says they’ll keep defying court orders - YOU SHOULDN’T JUST MOVE ON.

When I mentioned to people that I was going to the Clippers game tonight, at least four different people laughed and said something to the effect of “Holy s—t, good luck getting in.” I didn’t understand. Until I went there. (1/4)

Insanely stupid and short-sighted choice. I didn't even know they were still trying to run this racket. You put more universities in danger with this shit you idiots!

Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing. Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war. They voted to confirm him anyway.

Sign of the bizarre times we’re living in: The Onion is more culturally relevant than the Washington Post. Subscribe! I do. You should, too.

The same people who naively embrace "genetics" as the explanation for complex social outcomes (e.g., poverty, crime, "IQ" / standardized test scores) are happy to reject genetic explanations for autism in favor of half-baked, unsupported theories that allow them to blame moms. And sell them stuff.

But those concepts elude them, because all of these schools are instead led by narrow-minded bureaucrats behaving as managers in a Taylorist style. They are so beyond their skills and knowledge that they probably wouldn’t even get that reference.

Trumpism and Trumpists are incompatible with American culture and traditions and should be purged.

Media orgs that amplify this nonsense without noting that it’s complete fucking bullshit are propaganda wings for the regime.

if the lions lose after eminem and jack white play “till i collapse” at halftime they don’t deserve the playoffs

Post something random or you’ll have an awful December.

Never a great sign when a secret $10k per week cocaine habit is the most charitable possible explanation for one’s behavior.

Thank f-ing god.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

High-ly intelligent SecDef Pete Hegseth vows to get traitorous Senator Kelly hammered, legally. He threatens to beat, in court, cowardly Kelly for domestic abuse of the chain of command. Sec Hegseth is loaded… for bear. It’s “last call” for treasonous Dems like Senator Kelly. So intoxicating!
