This is just "Pokémon Go to the polls" for socialists

This is like thinking that yelling "Christ is King" at people is never more than a harmless expression of Christian piety

trump saw how much you guys loved Big Boat Stuck and tried to join in by doing All Boats Stuck and now suddenly its not funny anymore? make up your minds

this is just covid II; a small, closed circle are feeding him constant horseshit and other conservatives are trying to get on fox news to warn him that he's in political danger

I'm 99% sure this is why white evangelicals hated Pokémon and why my (Catholic) dad's colleagues at Regent University in the 2000s told my parents that it was unsuitable for children

“the cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

He did it. The president made car juice exponsive

Matt Walsh is mostly right here, but the people he's calling out for lying about "Iran's 47-year war against us" have also been lying for years that illegal immigration was an "invasion." Given free rein, the bullshit machine will eventually spread a lie you actually object to.

MAGA last September: "Oh, you fucked up big time. You killed the calm, rational, diplomatic debater, the middle ground, the off-ramp. Get ready for what comes next!" What came next:

The history of the gay marriage issue doesn't provide much encouragement for progressives' current posture on trans issues like sports and bathrooms (i.e., that retreating from those issues is essentially the same as abandoning trans people to death).

This was never going to be anything other than another venue for him to stand behind a microphone and blather at people

The company that manufactured replica 1913 Patton sabers discontinued them a few years ago, and it's now easier to find originals than replicas

one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites

Just the absolute stupidest fucking people

Do the people running the administration even know that investigations can serve a purpose other than petty revenge?

Green Afternoon The Fairly Formidable Bosstones Blink-181

Hello Bluesky: if you are a reporter who would be interested in covering an upcoming memorial prayer service for victims of ICE outside of the Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, NJ, please DM me so I can put you in contact with organizers.

The rioters and embedded militias should not have gotten more than ten feet inside the Capitol and their progress should've required climbing over the downed forms of their fellow insurrectionists, because if you're going to try and overthrow democracy by force then you should get your shit rocked.

Treason shouldn't be a capital crime b/c of some "they insulted the FLAG and sided with the TERRORISTS over MURICA" It should be death because that is the only tier of consequence that keeps the powerful from attempting it again and again until they get lucky. You need to stop them before they do.

Protection from regional threats is the main benefit colonizers can claim to offer to colonies, and the European powers were unable to deliver that in WWII.

Since vibes apparently matter more than records or policy, the strongest Democratic nominee for 2028 is probably whichever candidate voters can most easily picture forcing Vance, Hegseth, and Miller to dig their own graves at gunpoint.

At a certain point, American officers, analysts and policymakers are going to start fielding questions like ”Do you agree with the official position of the NSS that my country is being mongrelized by immigration and may be expelled from NATO for being insufficiently white?”

(6/X) The right is united around hating the left. That trumps every other possible concern, including prominent fellow travelers becoming Nazis. The left is always worse. No one on the right cares about Republicans becoming Nazis. No one.

if you're in line to bribe Eric Adams, stay in line

If you're obsessively learning the names of all the sails and rigging components of a square-rigged ship, you're boomscrolling.

I think I had all of these phases *except* nazi

kinda wonder what the overlap between "Azov's existence demands we allow the Ukrainian people to be turned into fertilizer" and "sometimes Marines just get SS-Totenkopf tattoos and that's okay 🤗" is

Guy whose concern about the No Kings rally is that there’s a lot of evidence constitutional monarchies do a better job than republics of avoiding personalistic politics.

Just ordered my USMC hat and t-shirt to wear and planning to bring the biggest American flag I have

Not sure what this person expected when they created an auto-ostracism plugin for blue sky

Lmao, what the fuck are you talking about, Will Stancil? Until the release of the text messages, everything was up in the air, and the possibility of a groyper connection was absolutely on the table.

I say this because "can I find someone in the field saying dumb shit online" is the level of evidence that many of these people consider sufficient for making these claims, and you can discredit literally any professional discipline, anywhere, with that criteria.

I am hearing that on his deathbed James Dobson received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahada. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but Allah, and Mohammad is his prophet!

Yes and yes

It just makes you want to time travel back and shoot all these guys with a Minié ball

Your an idiot

and honestly, the obsession over “we should have said more about biden being old” starts to grate when the currently serving president is very obviously impaired by age and cognitive decline, to crickets from the press

He's right, but on the plus side, this might bring us a little closer to chungus government

Guys I’m going to say something difficult… fail them

the nature of corruption is that a lot of it arises from people looking for loopholes that let them trade influence. having a narrow, legalistic definition of corruption is literally just facilitating corruption by ensuring the vast majority of conceivable behaviors fall outside the definition

every time i emerge from an all-day video game hole someone's like "trump just ordered the creation of a strategic national reserve of dippin dots" and i have to find out if it's real and it usually is

Making Up a Guy to Get Mad At 2: Making Up a Guy to Get Mad on Behalf Of

Since Medals-for-Baby-Having is a symbolic instead of practical benefit, it should be judged on symbolic/aesthetic grounds, and on those grounds, this is literally some Nazi/Soviet shit

if we keep flipping between "normal responsible global leadership" and "dumbest motherfuckers ever drinking motoroil to cleanse themselves of flouride" we're going to end up in stagnant malaise and decline amidst increasing corruption and creeping hybrid rule

I don't think we can earn back the world's trust when this is all over without the harshest legally available retribution on Trump, Homan, and anyone else responsible. I understand Democrats feeling a need to deploy a forward-looking "move on" message, but so help me, they better not mean it.

It’s not a question of ideological placement. It’s the people at all points ideologically who said at different times and still do, “You’re overreacting. This will blow over. Let the process play out. You can’t fight him too hard or enforce the laws on him” who have been proved wrong over and over.

the anti trump coalition, as far as I can tell, is just people who believe the things they say and the “maybe trump isn’t so bad” guys are just people who do not. trump is an affront to anyone who sincerely holds any moral values whatsoever, *almost* irrespective of what those values are
