like, why would any democrat compromise with the GOP right now? you have a once in a millennium upper hand. every member of trump’s admin who opened that file is complicit. go after them. open investigations. have hearings. say it on the news every night. do something other than roll over for once.

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.

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, invented a macaroni machine and coined the phrase "own 'em and bone 'em."

hey uhh just to be clear they’re just trying to cull the population cutting SNAP, shutting down the govt, killing healthcare - the end goal is a silent genocide of the poorest least enfranchised Americans so there’s more left for them - that’s it, that’s the whole plan

This is what the police are actually for

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

Simpsons predicted it

I took a ghost tour and was the only person in a group of 20 who said he didn’t believe in ghosts. After two hours of not seeing a ghost, the guide asked if I still didn’t believe in ghosts.

They've put their thumb on the scale for which members of the working class matters: blue collar men. It's all they focus on. I think a lot of men in media (pundits) really worry about being seen as effete.

What is the Times doing calling this extrajudicial murder spree “cartel strikes”? On what evidence do they ape the killers’ propaganda? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/u...

I’ll say it straight: It is unbecoming, undignified, cowardly, and shameful for a institution as revered and respected as the University of Virginia to grant an audience in 2025 to those who are committed to destroying science, free thought, human rights, and the rule of law.

the idea that freedom is in our DNA is just a misinterpretation of the fact that we’re a nation of finicky whiners who don’t like to be personally inconvenienced

The founding fathers never anticipated pussy-ass bitches.

There are so many things Donald Trump has never seen.

Amazon has become the online equivalent of shopping at a rust belt Kmart in 2010.

I'm not worried: Once ICE rounds up all the illegals, they'll stop.

Hmm maybe handing the keys to universities over to MBA morons who admire rich people instead of knowledgeable people was a . . . bad idea

I could easily see myself voting for someone who runs on abolishing ice and prosecuting every single one of them and the entire administration free campaign idea to good home

i wonder what it’s like to look around every day and see the country being run into the ground by pill-poppers and secret police and anti-vaxxers and book burners and you go into work and sit down at your computer and you’re the guy whose job it is to come up with new oreos flavors

Let me remind you that Trader Joe’s isn’t special. It’s a snack store, and the recent listeria outbreak proves they sell the same cheap, processed bullshit that Walmart does. It’s fine to shop there, but don’t pretend like it’s cool.

Ah yes the cure for autism is more women suffering. I knew it!

"I wish janitors made a living wage"

the thing everyone is going to have to accept is that the post-trump period, whenever it comes, will not and cannot be a project of national unity, it must be a project of partisan project of renewal, in the same way that reconstruction and the new deal were partisan projects of renewal.

None of the organs of institutional journalism that I was taught to revere at j-school have had any meaningful response to the mass-slaughter of Palestinian journalists except to ignore or downplay it. Not surprising at this point, but still very depressing.

Every publicly traded company should be paying a massive personal information tax. No more free rides on the public’s data.

How about personal time zones?

I really love the concept of war, but the execution is less than satisfying. Is there a political party for me?

Game shows finally figured out that audiences want to see the contestant’s parents encouraging them to make terrible decisions. America at its best.

if you can't steamnose this, there is something wrong with the boiler system inside your skull www.pressforward.news/from-bike-sh...

Instead of building the future we want, let me put my head into this cow’s asshole.

I don't know if there's ever been a culture more in love with charlatans than ours. "Success" defined entirely by how good you are at tricking people into giving you money. An entire country of aspiring slop merchants

For decades now the business model for new technologies has been to aggressively ignore existing law in an attempt to get so big that you can write your own laws before the old ones are enforced upon you. Utterly criminal, works well.

All of this Epstein-Trump stuff will result in the one thing every Republican wants: lowering the age of consent to 10.

This guy sucks so bad he won’t even let people have one of the worst cakes there is

Trump’s happy place is making fun of Rosie O’Donnell

We are rapidly becoming a post-accountability society

This belief is a huge part of what has gotten us here: An obsessive insistence that “debate” should take precedence over all other values, including the *merits of the thing being debated.* It is a value antithetical to journalism and they keep pretending it is the only thing journalists should do

“Hundreds of Flock Safety cameras capturing images of motorists across Virginia weren’t supposed to be used for immigration enforcement. But they were.”

looking at all these pundits, I cannot stop thinking about this paragraph from @albertburneko.bsky.social's blog last week: defector.com/toward-a-the...

wrote some things about skrmetti www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

You don't understand with the power of AI your husband can now have an emotional affair with your Roomba.

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

My NYT column wondering why a majority of Americans incorrectly choose the Big Mac over the Whopper has nothing to do with my husband’s recent investment in Restaurant Brands International, and you’re a socialist moron for suggesting otherwise.

being a conservative columnist at a major newspaper must rock so hard. an explicit mandate never to learn anything. approach every new day as though you just fired a roman candle directly up your own nose. that's the life
