oh yeah, 100%

I don't think I've ever seen anything like this in my lifetime

This is exactly how my friends all sound when they get really high and start rambling off what *they* think sounds like incredibly intelligent revelations. And I'm sitting there like, "mmmhmm, those sure are words you're saying buddy"

Tell it, sister! These 8 senators are stealing 500k from the American taxpayers!

Imagine the kind of shitweasel you have to be for JEFFREY FUCKING EPSTEIN to think you're a bad person.

Gianmarco has a whooooole joke about this www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu6C...

Oh, it's gonna happen.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Nothing screams "I'm totally innocent and this is all a hoax!" quite like holding emergency meeting and begging people to vote against the release of these files.

We are really ruled by the dumbest people in existence.

i’ve said this before and i remain convinced it’s true, the 2028 platform that would deliver obama 08 results is “i am gonna bring the hammer down on the corrupt self-dealing politicians and their rich friends and there are no sacred cows id give a pass”

Yassamin Ansari is racking up some good fighting points. The table in front of Johnson’s office, and now this. Keep saying it like it is.

I left for Chicago last Thursday and came back to work on Monday to the Christmas station playing on the radio. I'm like, "we're not really going to listen to this on repeat for 2 months, are we?" Apparently, we are. I'm already contemplating throwing myself into oncoming traffic.

😳

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time. No more hiding behind election terms.

In terms of big disappointments, he gets honorable Manchin.

There would not have been enough space on the opinion pages of newspapers or segments on cable news to cover the amount of outrage that the media would have directed at Joe Biden if he did not know the standard duration of a home mortgage, but Trump? Crickets.

“If you look at affordability, which [Democrats] campaigned on, they lied,” Trump said. The numbers show he and his administration are the ones lying about rising costs. Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I just added some new items to the shop! Bundle and save for the holidays!! www.mercari.com/u/platoplays/

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Chicago was pretty neat!

Personally, I'm very excited for 2026 to be an absolute fucking shitshow. My family and in-laws are about to find out *just* how fucking insufferable I can be when I point out at every opportunity that I warned them this would happen

the democratic party establishment hasnt learned a damn thing since they voted to allow george w bush to invade iraq. not one thing.

Elon could easily gain all the love and validation he so desperately seeks simply by throwing his vast amount of wealth toward fixing societal issues; none of which would dent his bank account. He's just too fucking stupid and/or evil to figure any of this out.

If by "fighting" you mean, "rolling over on our backs and pissing ourselves" then fuck yeah man, you and the rest of the Dems have been fighting real hard. Does that AIPAC money taste good?

If you aren't gonna fight the ever-rising tide of fascism with the very powerful and effective tools you have available as a U. S. Senator, you need to find another job. Or just retire. Don't care which. Just clear your desk into a couple of banker boxes and leave.

You know democracy is going great when your senators turn off their voicemails so they don’t have to hear from voters.

Honestly, this is probably why I've come to loathe Christmas and the holidays over the years; it's the 2.5 months of music, 3 months of looking at decorations, store displays for 3 months - it's all consuming and suffocating. BUY BUY BUY SPEND SPEND SPEND

Evergreen Simpsons joke tbh

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

why the fuck am i being subjected to christmas music already? this is fucking ridiculous

every “zohran mamdani isn’t the future of the democratic party” post always ends with “the future of the party is actually this guy who sucks that only 80 year olds who are about to die think is dope”

There are individual exceptions but as an institution the Democratic party just seems like it's on its last legs, or maybe past that point. A party that views its role as a custodial one just isn't cut out for this century

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I have several better suggestions, Elon, but most of them will get me banned/put on a watchlist.

Hey Dems, maybe we can look at this with some kind of introspection? Maybe?

Is this... *hope* I feel?

An actual socialist winning the same day Dick Cheney dies is

Andrew Cuomo gave more money in taxpayer subsidies to Elon Musk than the entire cost of Zohran Mamdani’s free bus plan. It’s not unreasonable or radical to want our tax dollars to go to programs that help us, instead of as giveaways to billionaires.

Dick Cheney should've been prosecuted for the invasion of Iraq and it's a stain on the soul of humanity that he got to live out his life in comfort without ever being held to account for his crimes, I'll never not be angry that war criminals responsible for so much death never see justice.

I just choked on my coffee trying to contain my laughter at them treating a fucking JJs sub like it's an assault weapon.

more like Dead Cheney am I right?

it's such a wild coincidence that all the countries doing things that require a US war of intervention just happen to have massive amounts of oil beneath them

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Dick Cheney is dead and good fucking riddance rest in piss and burn in hell ya warmongering bitch.

Cheney dead

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

ACA = “Obamacare”. Same thing. Its proof that many white folks would rather shoot off their own foot if they knew something helped a black or latino person get by too. Its no different from how they used to fill public pools with cement during integration resulting in everyone being hot & miserable.
