"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." - Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)

From the GOP's perspective, if a woman can't be a pearl-wearing housewife, then she should be working a low-wage caregiving job, and if she can't find a job--or can't earn enough to not need government aid--then she might as well be in jail or dead.

AMERICANS. VOTED. FOR. THIS.

Every single last one of them will get re-elected. That’s how dumb Americans are. Make plans accordingly.

lol he explicitly said as much

Americans. Voted. For. This. Your parents. Your neighbors. Your kids’ teachers. This is what they wanted.

It’s. What. Americans. Voted. For.

Trump on DeSantis's new detention camp for migrants: "We'd like to see them in many states. And at some point they might morph into a system."

the grocery store rotisserie chicken is one of the great modern conveniences

It shouldn't get lost that just today, Senate Republicans have voted to close nursing homes, close rural hospitals, and cut food stamp benefits for children and veterans.

Only business majors allowed!!! /s

A new scam alert!!!

We are doomed. This is why.

people too stupid to know evil is wrong are also too stupid to second guess themselves

Local 6p news Another murder in “bad area of city” and police say crime by (Black/brown) is out of control and the families there have no answers. 8p crime shows A loving (white) dad murders family & a community grieves. Watch how the community still supports the dad

Hey now, some Top Minds in politics assured us that the Supreme Court was not a big issue in the 2016 election. All us hysterical libs were overreacting.

Just woke up to hear that 2 people were shot at the Stonewall Inn & someone was spraying bear spray at Washington Square Park yesterday at NYC Pride. There is always so much joy & love at this event. Smh I am praying everyone is ok.

I've never seen the libertarian-to-fascist pipeline so viscerally represented. This is incredible.

We’re cooked. Make your exit plans accordingly. Making shit up is not helping.

Read the last panel and do some naval gazing Probly some lint there you should go wash.

Duke appears to have lost NIH grants because they used the prefix "trans" in reference to disease transmission, transgenic genetic material, translational studies, or signal transduction www.dukechronicle.com/article/2025...

Americans voted for this.

They got you distracted with the ICE raids and they’re fixing to pass that bill. WHILE YOU SIT ON YOUR ASS Yelling at Democrats. It’ll be too late to mass protest it afterwards. Smh!! 😒 english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/w... White House barricades: Mystery surrounds sudden security boost in D.C.

this is the level of funding where all the possibilities for American politics that have been described as hyperbolic over the past decades - the comparisons to Nazi Germany and other nightmares of the 20th century - become logistically possible and politically likely

From 2018:

All this ends only one way. Americans voted for this.

America, 1930's nazi Germany is no longer creeping up on you. It's sprinting down the street towards you and screaming in your face.

Just found out that Paul Bremer literally never informed anyone he was doing de-Baathification

I personally know people who have green cards *that have lost that paperwork!!!!* If your documents are not in order or not in your hands you are in extreme danger of deportation!! If you can, get that fixed ASAP.

Folks, there is a SHIT TON of complicated US citizenship law behind this story, involving physical presence requirements, parents not solidifying naturalization for minor children, SOFAs, and everything. It is not cut and dried.

Should have been front-page news every day since it happened.

Horrific political assassinations took place in America, & we’ve totally erased it from the National Conversation™️ because they happened in the Midwest instead of Manhattan & we’re not a serious country. Incredibly depressing on so many deep, pathetic levels. May their memories be a blessing.

My caution about it got shot down in polite company. The concerns about minority rights don't often factor for people who don't need to watch SCOTUS rulings carefully to see if theirs are imperiled each year.

But it would be really helpful if people did take a beat to think about how important the SCOTUS is and how much proverbial money those that have abstained have left on the table for "conservatives" to snatch through appointments to the court. But that's wishful thinking...

A grim perspective, but one that needs to be shared.

Remarkably strong correlation between pundits who told me the Supreme Court upholding Texas’s abortion bounty hunter law was technical and not a sign it would overturn Roe, and pundits assuring me birthright citizenship is fine because people can “just file a class action” or whatever

An unspoken reason many Hispanic voters turned out for Trump involves racism. If nothing else, Trump is brilliant at the “divide and conquer” technique. Trump and the GOP divided the Hispanic community using the issue that no one likes talking about: racism.

This screencap is from 2016. Hundred bucks says this exact same person is currently demanding the Dems announce a plan to fix the Supreme Court.

Also, sometimes I ask transphobes, "So if I yanked Matt Walsh's glasses off his stupid face, threw them on the ground and stomped on them because he can't BIOLOGICALLY see clearly, that'd be okay right?" The takeaway is that eyeglasses are the key to winning every argument.

I’ve often put it this way: “tell me how a person on kidney dialysis is going to survive your revolution.” No one has ever answered.

White “leftist” men on this here app complaining about RBH’s “white feminism” tell on themselves every fucking time. White feminism certainly has its issues, but white leftist men still think they should weigh in on it. And they wanna lead a revolution?? FOH.

I guess Americans should have gotten off their asses and voted.
