Think about how Marjorie Taylor Greene was actually dumb enough to believe that the Epstein files mattered to Trump, and her disillusionment. There were people dumb enough to believe that the right-wing “free speech movement” was actually about free speech.

World's richest people, according to Forbes 1. Elon Musk, $342 billion 2. Mark Zuckerberg, $216 billion 3. Jeff Bezos, $215 billion 4. Larry Ellison, $192 billion ... 56. Miriam Adelson, $32 billion ... 453. George Soros, $7 billion

Uh can I speak to a manager? I got owned on BlueSky again.

probably no better evidence that the groyper/fuentes wing of the party is ascendant than the fact that the VP is copying the same exact pathetically heavy handed humor that isn't funny to anyone else but the neo nazis themselves.

JD Vance, Nick Fuentes, this lady—all of them are positioning themselves as rejecting the ideas core to the mythos of the founding. In that sense you could say that they’ve stopped being “Americans” in a meaningful sense—that they’ve spurned that identity and project—and have become something else.

Honestly impressive how much they're fucking up this cover up

WASHINGTON (AP) — At least 16 files from Epstein release disappeared from DOJ webpage, including photo of Trump, with no explanation.

personally getting very irritated by the unbelievable arrogance of the data boys

3. Leadership is about doing what is necessary, not just what is popular. Read literally anything our founders wrote about virtue, and the inherent risks to a society based on democratic processes to sustain the rule of law to the extent that unvirtuous people gain power.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

imo the actual threat to capital-A America is not the Trump administration but that the Trump administration's behaviors will not be disincentivized enough flip-flopping back and forth between breaking things and fixing things every 4-8 years means eventually it'll stay broken

We are very lucky they're so fucking stupid

They really did this all wrong.

It's wild that his own DOJ released this.

it is extremely funny that the American populace unironically treated the era of seeing of "help wanted" signs as a bad sign

From a focus group of Gen Z Republicans. (www.city-journal.org/article/manh...) Tell me again about how Zohran Mamdani is the big threat to Jewish thriving in the US today.

it is a little funny that after all the very deep thoughts about what's going on the city journal of all places is just like "yeah these guys are just bored like fukuyama predicted"

Yglesias is incapable of understanding the concept of morality. He’s outsourced an essential part of being human to his grade school level grasp of polling.

Very cool!

Good morning everyone.

The self-congratulatory tone of this press conference is astonishing. Law enforcement misidentified the initial suspect—again—then allowed the actual perpetrator to be completely in the wind for 48 hours, during which time he went on to kill again

“A redditor did a better job than the FBI”

You’d think a Democrat wouldn’t be stupid enough to back more government control over the internet under this fascist administration under the pretense of “save the children,” but Dick Durbin has a rock tumbler for a brain.

What the fuck is wrong with all of you?

shake up the senate caucus or we lose the republic

They’re going after the binder makers now? Oh come on

the media is so transparently in the tank for the GOP at this point

guess how many minors undergo grs every year

Anyway, liberalism and socialism are not enemies, and to the extent that you insist that they are, you are clinging to Ego. You have failed to apprehend the true meaning of "Form is Emptiness. Emptiness is Form." I will now give you a firm thwack with the keisaku.

This is just 2+2=5 shit.

Reminding everyone for no particular reason that Section 230 is one of the last things standing between free speech online and Trump having control over everything you see and say on the internet

I cannot emphasize how serious an assault on democracy this is. Any effort by the Trump administration to engage in false claims of fraud or mass voter suppression relies on this as a building block. As importantly, there is no legitimate reason DOJ would want this information.

Conservatives: The constitution is colorblind, discrimination does not justify reverse discrimination Also conservatives: white men deserve reparations for not having 100 percent of the jobs they apply for

Their very obvious claim is that it’s racist discrimination to *have a policy to address racial disparities* but it’s fine to have a system that simply creates massive racial disparities. The correction attempt is the outrage. Not the disparities. Because they are white supremacists.

85% of CEOs are white men. All but one US President has been a white man. 65% of all elected offices are held by white men. Roughly 30% of the population is white men. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

the key to understanding this is the SV technocapitalists all went insane during COVID

The goal is to kill trans kids and make it harder to pass so they can be discriminated against for the rest of their lives.

Dumb policy but like, the big AI companies all have: 1. Aligned themselves with Trump and Gulf royal families 2. Blew off electricity cost concerns for data centers 3. Advertised their products as mass unemployment machines Time to lie in the bed they made!

I’m convinced at this point we need damnatio memoriae for this administration. Refer to them as “the 47th administration” and demolish everything they ever did. Those $1 coins they’re gonna issue? Void em. The stupid ballroom? Burn it to the ground

Every squishy center-leftist who had “legitimate concerns” about some youth transition needs to face facts: there was no counterparty you could negotiate on the margins with. The other side wants trans people not to exist. It’s that simple.

The proper response to someone promising to end the world if you refuse to concede morality and principle is to ask "would you like to push that button, or shall I?" Not this weird appeasement.

The older I get, the more I am absolutely convinced that Rorschach is the morally correct character in watchmen. “Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon.”

"We need affirmative action for white men" sounds like a joke you would make about Republicans, but no, it is actually what the elites of the conservative intelligentsia genuinely believe.

every photo drop this post leans more from funny to depressing

I take it all back we should absolutely let AI run the vending machines

you will not believe who just appeared in the Epstein files

This 97 year old diner still serves cunt the old fashioned way.
