I do think that punishing cowards is absolutely the right approach here.

very normal man who can be trusted around young women

libertarians not beating the "my girlfriend shouldn't have to sit in a car seat" allegations

So America, you take your 33 1/3 tariff, minus my 25% tariff and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning with a Tariff. But then you take my 75% tariff, if we go into shutdown, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 tariff. See USA, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you in 2025.

Democrats need to learn how to treat Americans like the drooling morons we are

Never send a hyperliterate Bluesky nerd to do a brain damaged Gen Z postliterate's job.

Lib commentators hate talking about republicans as evil while actual libs talk about republicans the way Johnny Rico talks about the bugs

By 2028 this will be a voting issue

Finally dem communication has deteriorated to the required level

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil. The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage. /1

Speakers announced for the Jane Goodall Memorial, airing Sunday at 3pm on Disney Prime and ABC

Reading the Stormlight ttrpg and considering running an unhinged AU campaign kinda like the Star Wars Ronin EU novel that throws out most of the broader setting to go in a weird direction with the Sith vs Jedi conflict

That kid gets it.

amazing OPSEC for a 4-year-old, they know the surveillance state is everywhere

in particular, "hahaha we are using the shutdown to enact project 2025 by firing ideologically unwelcome federal employees" and "the dastardly Democrats shut down the government" are not coherent messages

Every journalist who published a piece about how nothing linked Trump to Project 2025 needs to lose a job.

The beatings will continue until the pollsters, strategists, and leaders are fired.

A thing that I think Democratic/liberal/left voters need to really internalize post 2024 is that this group of voters are adults and that they told everyone pretty explicitly what they prioritized via how they voted and what they asked for was to experience the consequences of their own votes.

Looks like a murder on domestic soil.

Stealing New Yorkers money that they paid in taxes and sending it instead to Argentina and into cryptocurrency for bailouts. Intolerable

In short, farmers voted to massacre tons of minorities to set themselves on fire with the assumption that the Dems could not stop the massacre of minorities but could put out the fire on them. We should not honor this assumption.

I’m tired of saving Trump voters from the consequences of their own decisions. If farmers want a bailout, they should call their republican congressmembers and ask them to use their article 1 powers to get rid of the tariffs.

Playing around with Sora 2 and it is the same warmed up dogshit OpenAI always slings. I also got it to cough up direct copies of Naruto and Demon Slayer *with audio from the shows*. It’s obvious they have ingested a ton of copyrighted material

Trump take economy

Again, good luck to Republicans on their "fuck your healthcare costs" approach. I'm sure its gonna work out great.

JD Vance’s parents both abandoned him in favor of doing drugs and honestly they made the right choice.

The Gary Larson cartoon incident

Listen man go die in a hole if this is how you feel.

Swing voters aren’t confused or undecided. They’re asleep

this is an especially good thing to hammer because it wedges the WH away from congressional Republicans

I think people need to internalize that there are not one but two paths forward for Jews, one in an ethnostate and one embedded in liberal democracies, and that the needs of these paths are increasingly divergent and sometimes at odds.

3/ Tech fascism in a nutshell: “Computers are so much more rule-based, controllable, fixable, and comprehensible than any human will ever be. As many political schools of thought do, these technolibertarians make a philosophy out of a personality defect.“ She wrote this in 2000!

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI. Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

what's funny is the way cons on scotus need to read the existence of the modern independent fed back into the ""deep roots"" of american history in ways that are just transparently bullshit yet another example of how originalism is just calvinball

"Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open" That's it. That's the whole story.

this is both entirely correct and extremely stupid go team

Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans just shut down the government to push their extreme agenda. They’d rather strip Medicaid, eliminate SNAP benefits, and close rural hospitals than keep our government open. It’s appalling.

Donald Trump and his Republican cronies have officially shut down the government.

this is the third time Donald Trump has shut down the government while his party controls both houses of Congress

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

Holy shit this opinion. Wow.

chat is it good when a roomful of the top military officers youre ostensibly the leader of are looking at you like this
