It is a shame that the Iron Throne in the show doesn't look how it's described in the books

Everyone passive-aggressively calling Daemon the king *consort* is very good

I wonder if Ms. Bankhead still stands by these words

True bipartisanship has never before been tried

Bankhead is a spoiler, that's right

Montana Dems on Bluesky 🤝 NRSC Handing Kurt Alme a Senate seat

This isn't correct, but that would be pretty funny ngl

I still can't over this. Like bud, the people who care what Greene has to say about anything aren't gonna vote for you. I know this because your name is Abdul El-Sayed.

If I had 53k followers, I would simply choose not to become Bluesky's villain for the day

They're assuming Bankhead would be dumb enough to fall for this and they would be right. Great call from the NRSC ngl

Mark Hatfield was a patriot. RIP king 🫡🫡🫡

The minister of AI attending cabinet is a little funny though

"A lot of people who listen to her are going to vote for me.” This is a quote from Abdul El-Sayed, guess who "her" is.

Well at least Ed Miliband did end up getting David Cameron's job

Thinking about how we almost had a Home Office style department established in the 1780s/1790s

My state is a deeply sick place

BOOOOOOOO

The best MCU movies are The Avengers and the Winter Soldier

Why are the shakes at Arby's so big

My god, the British military has been infiltrated by panicans

i can understated, to an extent, the lesser evil arguments re: israel in 2024. But the fixation on Tlaib, who more than anyone, had a personal, justifiable reason for refusing to give in—her family was actively being murdered— is psychotic. the "Dearborn" posters want humiliation+submission.

BARN CAT ALERT: A MAMMA CAT AND HER KITTENS HAVE MOVED INTO ONE OF THE BARNS

I do wonder if they would post these things if their real name was attached to it

2. Real argument you could make that Birch Bayh was the last truly transformational Senator, in that he modified the form and structure of constitutional government instead of working within the existing structure.

So the people bitching about Troy Jackson's past lack of support for same-sex marriage are gonna lose their minds when they learn who said "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage" in 2008.

It isn't a good sign that the GOP is now such a personality cult that they are warping their reality around their insane leader's dementia ramblings

I do miss Montana, but at least I don't have to be too sad about Seth Bodnar losing. I get to be sad about Beau Bayh losing instead.

Real question: what does the Co-op Party, like, actually do?

It'll never not be crazy to me that LASD seeme to be doing business as usual while its Wikipedia page has a literal "Deputy Gangs" sections

@alanib.bsky.social even more notes

Trump v. United States is the most important Supreme Court decision in my lifetime, and it was wrong the minute it was issued. It will be the end of constitutional rule, and it must be overturned and utterly repudiated as soon as possible, even if the tool to do that—Court packing—is bad.

It's still cracks me up that Mike Johnson called the DSA the Democrat Socialists

Everywhere I go I see his face

I make jokes on here about Canada, but if the United States were to invade I would genuinely try to join the Canadian Forces

They really should've figured this shit out earlier. This is embarrassing.

There's something about "It’s our turn now" that leaves a really bad taste in my mouth

@alanib.bsky.social take notes

Fun fact: the GOP candidates who follow after him will be somehow worse

Those progressives do not identify as socialists

I'm a big believer in the big tent & having representation that makes sense for that district, state, etc. Mamdani & AOC represent their voters nearly perfectly. But running on a world of no prisons and fully abolishing the police, in a state like Wisconsin would be a disaster.

Look, I get it, I have many Progressive friends. Many on here I really care for as well. But @trumpstaxes.com is absolutely correct. If Hong ends up be the candidate in WI Gov, it has the potential to be devastating. The GOP is will run with these quotes 24/7 & it won't play well in a swing state.

I found this lying on the ground and nope don't like that

I feel like that was both scary and a nothingburger

He sounds like shit

Wow, I did not expect the part of Trump's speech where he said "The Democrats steal elections all the time. Really what is even the point of voting? I don't think Republicans should vote, bigly or otherwise. In fact, if you do vote that means you're not trusting the plan, ME."

I no longer care if Burnham is Starmer 2.0, it was worth it for this

Holy shit

I disagree, the smoke is clearly part of a sinister plot by the Commonwealth of Canada (Canada's full name, look it up) and its perfidious Canadiens to make us British like they are.

Should've gone with Baldacci

Targeting power plants like this is a war crime btw
