STANDING ATHWART DECENCY, YELLING “STOP!” New blog post: open.substack.com/pub/dreamwea...

Because they had been conditioned for multiple decades to believe that the Democrats and the mainstream media were working together to destroy traditional America and flood the country with immigrants. For all of Trump‘s flaws, they see him as the only person who is powerful to defeat them.

Why bother when JD Vance is right here

GOP: Hey, no fair! The Democrats shared an out-of-context photo to suggest that the President who tore down the East Wing of the White House to build a golden ballroom during a month-long government shutdown doesn’t care about anyone but himself

Anyone who still supports Donald Trump in November 2025 isn’t going to change his mind about him based on this. And that is because people who support Donald Trump are genuinely pretty terrible people.

GOP: Every time you mention the MAGA siege on the Capitol I will dutifully respond with photos of buildings on fire and attribute them to BLM riots ALSO GOP: Hey, that photo of Donald Trump haughtily standing by doing nothing after a man collapsed behind him was taken out of context

We all had a good laugh about Kentucky, but seriously: can anyone even remember the last time that local elections held one year after a Presidential election felt this important?

Im not saying they or I have any particular reason beyond what’s publicly evident to think he’s any more likely to die soon than any other man his age, but they’re making the bet that this problem will sort of solve itself for them in a way where nobody gets blamed for it by the MAGA mob.

HOW ZORHAN MAMDANI CAN STOP “FOSTERING ANTI-SEMITISM” ACCORDING TO THE EDITORS OF THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS 10. Stop claiming Israel is the “source of all the world’s problems,” which surely is a direct quote and not an exaggerated paraphrase used exclusively by Zionists as mockery

Yes, it is clearly Mamdani who must stop the “monomaniacal obsession with Israel” that has followed him everywhere he goes

Conservatives are still worried about the effects Mamdani will have as the mayor of New York: ⬇️

MAGA doesn’t view power as something they need to earn. They view power as something that has always been rightfully theirs. MAGA does not view American voters as people to be respected and trusted. They view us as subjects to be conquered.

“Muslims are monsters who want to kill us” remains a startlingly mainstream political opinion and a disturbing percentage of the people who read this statement will unironically agree with it

A SUMMARY OF TUESDAY’S EPISODE OF “THE VIEW” New blog post: open.substack.com/pub/dreamwea...

There is no single face of the Democratic Party in 2025. Our “big tent” won the elections. That is a marked contrast from the GOP, which is expected to collectively bend to the will of one man & one man alone. So I guess the Democrats are the party of “states’ rights” now.

Thank you!

I do remember that the Bush Administration successfully harnessed America’s post-9/11 patriotic fervor into support for their invasion of Iraq, but they stopped just short of directly saying that the events were connected. Calling it the “Global War on Terror” was as close as they got.

Cue corny A.I. video scored to Metallica on TruthSocial in 5… 4…. 3….

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

Dick Cheney is a reminder of those halcyon days when lying to the country to justify a war where 4500 U.S. service members were killed was just about the worst thing we could imagine a vice-president doing

BREAKING: Assholes Threaten to Leave New York City if Mamdani Wins

CNN: Why did ICE agents stab seven hundred nuns and orphans last week JOHNSON: I haven’t heard anything about that NOEM: We are just cleaning up the mess the Democrats created NYT: Public approval of Trump drops to 38% TRUMP: Why is the media so mean to me

See if you can spot the implicit contradictions in this statement

We’re in the home stretch: ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/drea...

The statement would have also been correct if Vought left out “a moment of time having”

Amanda Marcotte: “[Mamdani’s] lead — and likely win — is a rebuke to the calcified wisdom in the Democratic Party that puts fundraising ahead of all other concerns, a practice that has led to a tendency to run elderly centrists who inspire no one.” www.salon.com/2025/11/03/z...

SKYDANCE: If we want the President to approve our corporate merger, CBS must be sure never to make him angry PARAMOUNT: That sounds ethically dubious and also very challenging SKYDANCE: But then our beautiful corporate merger might not happen PARAMOUNT: You’re right; that would be unthinkable

The reason “womanface” is not an appropriate analogue to “blackface” is that the original perpetrators of blackface were not trying to *identify* with black people. There was no genuine respect; they were merely mocking them.

“Which course of action will convince the public that the Epstein Files do not implicate Trump and therefore are a political nothingburger?” 🔵: releasing them 🔴: never ever releasing them in a million years

If you think there is a path to “Release of the Epstein Files” that does not pass through every single thing Donald Trump has the power to do to stop it, then I do not think you fully grasp what is at stake here

A pretty good bellwether for how you can tell if a critic of Israel is an anti-Semite is how they feel about the Palestinians.

Even I wouldn’t be that cruel

I get that a lot

TRUMP: We’re going to round up the migrants and throw them into concentration camps. Oh, and we dropped bombs on some fishing boats that I am confident were full of drug traffickers GOP: Cool FUENTES: I think Hitler wasn’t that bad GOP: HAVE YOU NO SHAME, GOOD SIR

Q: What do Erika Kirk and JD Vance’s couch have in common?

Out of everyone in the Trump Administration, it seems to me that Kristi Noem is the one who appears most genuinely bewildered that her sociopathic willingness to unquestioningly follow the Trump agenda has caused her to be truly despised by wide swaths of the American people

TEN CLOSING ARGUMENTS FROM THE ANDREW CUOMO CAMPAIGN 10. Can everybody please just remember five years ago when I cared about the people of this city and wasn’t a complete asshole 9. If you’re scared of Muslims and don’t wanna vote for the beret-wearing lunatic with 17 cats, I’m your guy

Coworker: Any plans for tonight? Me: Gonna hang out with my black cats, do some witchcraft, curse my enemies, frighten children… Coworker: Haha you must really love Halloween. Me: What the fuck is Halloween?

Anyone else getting REVENGE OF THE SITH vibes

All my respect and admiration for whoever it was that first had the idea to protest in an inflatable frog costume

Again, I despair at the number of my fellow countrymen (in both parties) who believe Mamdani and Bannon represent two sides of the same coin labeled “anti-Semitism”

Yes, Donald Trump is actively making America an objectively worse place. Yes, the Democrats should and do have plans to make it better. Focus on both of these things, and explain how they are interconnected.

One month into the shutdown, and Congress appears no closer to a deal. If Trump is truly as worried about the Epstein Files as we think he is, then that leaves two options: 1. The House will agree to postpone the Epstein vote 2. The government will be shut down indefinitely

A REMINDER - Milo wasn’t cancelled because WE rejected him. - Milo was cancelled because THEY rejected him.

Five years ago, I am confident I did not have “Andrew Cuomo Morphs into Donald Trump” on my Bingo Card
