the theory behind the "investigation" of donald trump was that an event which had never before happened and which the entire conservative legal movement existed to prevent (the prosecution of a republican president for a crime) would occur mechanically by operation of law, without biden's approval.

I completely agree. We would all be facing a far better future if he had.

This is 100% correct and the EU should do it immediately. The USA will break if a bunch of entitled Americans suddenly can’t book get-aways in Paris.

Always remember this crusty fucksock only matters because of other Republican politicians enabling and a handful of plutocrats bankrolling him. They either want this to happen or would rather go along than stop it.

The crazy thing about it is that I think he would have denounced Biden more forcefully and pointedly for taking a stance he didn't like on Israel

If you think this technology isn’t eventually being used on you, you’re kidding yourself. Either we smash it or destroys us.

Every Trump voter should be made permanently ineligible to vote. I'll let someone else hash out the details.

In the last century, the United States was part of an alliance that liberated Europe and helped Germany write a modern constitution. It sure would be nice if they returned the favor.

the only thing Democrats should be saying on Greenland is "this is evil and wrong and if we do it we will be punished"

I know that some people hate it when I say this, but the Democratic Party is utterly failing to meet this moment and I’m far from the only person who feels this way.

Blue state governors should be saying that if we go to war with Canada, the state will join the war on Canada's side. Be explicit

people just do not understand that we are no longer doing Normal Politics. the world where the US tries to annex Greenland by force is *incomprehensibly different* to anything any living american remembers

Someone musta scored an own goal. ⚽🤷

i dont think lib americans realize that if the actual invasion happens and blue states dont effectively rebel no amount of sweet talking from dem president will repair opinion of americans at least among eu citizens

I don't disagree with what Harris said in her book nor do I object that she said it, I just don't see how it allows her to have a future political career at the national level.

The absolute accuracy of this.

The worst thing about Gamergate and all the spinoff dumbass culture war nonsense is that theres actually lots of good reasons not to like lots of stuff and we can't even talk about it because of the muttonheads

Every techie and cyberpunk aficionado has failed if they've excluded furries. It's testament to the lack of imagination these "visionaries" truly have, creating a virtual world where your boring toon self goes to meetings instead of being a 50 foot big-tiddie dragon-woman who steps on cars.

Also: The Minnesota Historical Society has this flag but *doesn’t keep it on display,* because it’s, you know, a confederate flag and that’s gross. So deeply Minnesotan. “We humiliated our opponent but the real prize is that we refuse to display the trophy. They know we have it.”

By all means, tell the public the police are Hamas, that migrants are a swarm of sex-offending orcs and the left are plotting treason with ethnic undesirables. That stuff is great! But “politicians and senior journos are a bit too chummy with each other”? That’s insanely extreme.

“First Amendment Zones” are Orwellian nonsense of the same vintage as “homeland security”

Of course things change. We're pioneers at finding new ways to enslave people.

That David French NYT op-ed people are raving about is the problem with white punditry. Talking about the Nazi dual state without ever mentioning that Nazis learned from white America and its treatment of Black people. Jesus Christ it is painful waiting for y'all to catch up

You don't have to be autistic to be repulsed by hyperbole, but it helps.

just a little more funding and police departments can finally afford the GOOD training where they teach you to value human life

The fact of the matter is white males have to be more out there. It's usually POC and women who lead the charges and take the blows. We need to stand between them and ICE. White males caused this and we need to take responsibility.

Men’s homeliness epidemic

100% tracks w/ my experiences playing pick-up basketball w/ men when I was young. The good players were usually great & quickly realized I could hold my own. The bad players wouldn’t pass me the ball & talked shit about me. So often it’s the losers trying to look like big men by putting women down.

More people should know about the day 90% of Icelandic women went on strike, forcing real political change towards gender equality: www.bbc.com/news/magazin...

The last time the women of a major country got this fed up and then thisferociously, tirelessly *organized*, we ended up with the French Revolution and the guillotine

Great, another Seahawk home game to navigate around.

We keep talking about the midterms as if we're very sure of the issues that are going to decide them, but I think about where the country was a month ago and where it is now, and I honestly can't begin to (and don't want to) imagine the world we'll be living in come November.

Finally a good use for those damn things. (Hmm, I might have to reenable that function on my key.)

Trump's death will be a good thing and worth celebrating, but it will not prevent this Administration from continuing to dismantle democracy, nor will it absolve the Republican Party from its complicity.

I guess there's a reason why piece of shit pointless columns from completely gassed hacks like Kristof, Brooks and Dowd get dumped in the wee hours of the weekend. It's like, people are so sick of you they're not even wasting hate-clicks.

Real Genius

MLK Day is coming up, which means we’ll see every right wing jackass with a microphone quoting him out of context and pretending they wouldn’t have cheered his assassination at the time.

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

It’s time for the beer dads to get in the streets with the wine moms. Tell those boys to go home and clean their fucking rooms.

Or you can be out there in spite of your ancestors to break the chain.
