Like it literally seems he disliked Powell and Mnuchin, guess they were too busy being boring republicans who actually did their jobs instead of ordering Thomas the tank engine girls jammies and 100-count boxes of condoms

you never knew how good you had it.

I love how these guys think they're anything but junior partners of the coalition. Sorry, everyone actually hates your Fourth Reich, they voted for the reality TV guy to make them rich!

Some weeks ago I was watching a bunch of really old Onion videos, & a lot of them still really hit because of the sheer absurdism, better than a lot of the more perishable politics stuff now.

The piggies devour their slop

to make this work, you'd have to come up with something like "everyone in the stands voted on whether the dog could play basketball, & they said yes, & then the team with the dog lifted him up to the hoop to dunk..."

THANK YOU.

…& when the scrappy outsider proves the established experts wrong, the outsider often is credentialed, too!

All the Epstein emails are like On Tue, November 21, 2017 at 8:16 AM, Larry Summers wrote: Have you seen the latest news? Get the popcorn ready… On Tue, November 21, 2017 at 8:18 AM, jeffrey E. <[email protected]> wrote: Pop cofn taste good .

Larry, what the fuck are you talking about.

maybe the worst to ever do it (fact-checking).

"memebrane. ?"

what does "generating traffic" mean in this context? getting however many followers he has?

deep constitutional & historical thoughts with Jeffrey Epstein: "no one above the law … we began leaving a kingdom …unlikely to give king like powers to a president. on one above the law." truly, "scholarly but not too much so."

Horrible old rich guys are obsessed with emailing each other. They can’t live without it

he was not so hot on Biden's economic policy, & surely the Biden people would count among "the Democratic establishment."

I think there are varying degrees of complicity & moral culpability among the people we know had associations with Epstein, which can make thinking about & discussing it all the more complicated.

it's really…something that his email was "j e e vacation at gmail dot com."

thinking about how i get anxious writing emails because i don't want to sound like a moron while larry summers is apparently typing emails like this: u kno she dint want to talk tomorrow. make me bad pheel.

phrasing.

I would not take the ”agreed in principle[?]” part as in any way proven.

I think there would need to be video evidence of Donald Trump committing sex crimes against children for elected Republicans to say, yeah, we’re done here—& even then it would not be a foregone conclusion.

Let me be the first to say, as the Active Measures, LLC, that I believe Epstein *may not* be a credible source of information about things Epstein does, including with Russia. But, we haven't gotten Bleemer and Gorpman in ages, and we deserve a little (as a treat).

I’m told that Rob Ford had “more than enough to eat at home.”

555-555-COME-ON-NOW susannah is always nice to talk to on an individual level, but it drives me insane that she continues to think there's a "good" integralism that can be recovered here

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

It must again be acknowledged how much wealthy, powerful men love taking notes on criminal fucking conspiracies.

yeah that’s…at least as incriminating as anything I would have imagined was written down. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/u...

Some great news: Minnesota SNAP and MFIP for November has been sent out

yeah, I’ve always wondered like, when do we see the evidence of his mathematical genius? when do we find out the scientific insights that apparently impressed some of the most accomplished scholars in the world?

watching people on Fox News talk about Reagan is like hearing liberals talk about FDR, only somehow slightly more relevant.

*looking at piles of unread books around my apartment* maybe I should read DECLINE & FALL again.

what the fuck are you talking about.

The egotism of American political journalists is unsurpassed.

Evelyn Waugh on teaching.

I love the internet.

what is a “super normie”?

I see. I wonder if the families of the people you’re terrorizing can “opt out.”

there is a real malicious irony in how the most important practical fields of study — things like nutrition and education — are heavily compromised in the US

Guy seething with jealousy: Well, I think the normal sky is already pretty cool

hmm.

Do you ever see something where you’re like, I am not online enough to understand this, but I am also online enough to have seen this, which is maybe the worst of both worlds?

Can people please get either less or more psychotic on this website, effective immediately? Thank you.

the vast majority of Americans should actually think more “inside the box,” tbh.

The human rights possible implications of this are just completely dystopian as well if a Pol Pot like leader came to power.

The economics of this are just so bad compared to like curing schizophrenia, mass installation of cameras, and curing drug addiction though. This would cost just so much money.

my timeline is reminding me why this year I have only read one or two novels published in the past half-century.

oh my goddd.

does anyone want to drive an ice pick through my brain.
