Fetterman loves impressing the kind of Republicans who will say "finally, a sensible Democrat!" but would still vote for Osama Bin Laden with an R next to his name before they'd vote for him

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

i love to live in a personalist regime!

Come on now.

Completely half-baked hypothesis: his assassination built a mythos, by making people assume that he must have been killed for his pursuit of some valiant cause

sorry to historypost but there's actually a clear reason for that—American Catholics are generally descended from lower-class post-independence immigrants, while (white) American Protestants, especially in the South and Northeast, are quite often descended from colonial settlers

GOOD

An administration whose driving philosophy is wife-battering.

I'm not a lawyer but, uh, this one feels pretty open and shut.

god help me, the details of this story

It's insane that this administration has declared war on Minnesota because of George Floyd, Tim Walz, and Ilhan Omar.

This should cause some amusing conflict

Look, I'm no AI triumphalist, but if this is how you're trying to use it, of course everything it produces is going to be garbage and that is fundamentally your fault.

People who like Trump politically are deeply wrong and generally deranged, but I can get it in the abstract. But the groveling, cult of personality stuff... I'll never be able to process that.

it's fascinating to watch Costco lap every one of these clowns because they have the only CEO in America who still thinks his job is to run a company that does business and not be the main character of life forging his personal legacy with one eye on the group chat to see if they're impressed yet

"Christofascism "knows the cross only as a magical symbol of what Jesus has done for us, not as a sign of the poor man who was tortured to death as a political criminal... [it is] a betrayal of the disappointed, a miracle weapon in the service of the mighty." — Dorothee Sölle

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

There are two groups of people waiting for two different versions of It to Happen, but only one will be disappointed forever, and it is those waiting for Donald Trump to become ✨🦅presidential🇺🇸✨

Rep. Troy Nehls, who is 57, begs Trump to sign his Trump-themed tie: "Initial it. Just an intial."

I've got no real interest in sitting through Spanberger's whole thing but it's crazy how weird it feels to watch a normal speech

That was so dumb. I could have been watching 1,000-Pound Sisters.

Today I learned that Congress does not issue the Congressional Medal of Honor

The constant use of military personnel as partisan props is an under-the-radar Big Problem here

We love our war crimes, don't we, folks?

One by one, every minute.

The average voter not watching this speech doesn't know that, above all, it's boring and meandering. That's who Trump is, and you can't possibly get that from headlines and clips.

We love religion, and we love bringin' it back

Final results in the Pennsylvania #HD42 (Harris+29) special election: Jen Mazzocco (D)- 81.6% Joseph Leckenby (R)- 18.4% A 34 point overperformance from 2024 in the southern suburbs of Pittsburgh!

I deeply feel for the people whose tragedies he’s exploiting here but what a profound lack of perspective and self-respect

Sickening to hear the pornographic blood libel against Somalis and other immigrants from the guy currently, actively using the full weight of the US government to cover this up

trump going on about corruption and then slandering somali-americans makes my blood boil

It's very simple: when you buy a house, it will be cheap. When you sell one, it will be expensive.

I do not think it would be very hard to give Mike Johnson a swirly

Gotta go with Cranmer, he wrote the first edition of the United Methodist Book of Worship.

The Mighty Milkshake Ducks

I don't like that I am forced to hold the US hockey team with severe contempt

two weeks of starving the entire nation of cuba to death for no fucking reason

No "illegal aliens" have ever been admitted to the United States, because then they wouldn't be that

perhaps I have made a mistake

Al Green gonna get his ass thrown out again and god love him for it

Upper St. Clair at D+42 🤯

It is so degrading for members of Congress to be taking selfies with the president as he walks past

Since this will likely come up in the SOTU: Yes, US stock markets are up since Trump took office (14%). But in the rest of the world, markets are up WAY more. Cumulative market gains are more than triple ours (43%)

What the right to practice religion is supposed to mean is that laws cannot ban things *specifically because of their religious meaning,* not that anything you can say in good faith you want to do for religious reasons must be legal.

Definitely: gotta make sure not to alienate the seventeen swing voters who will make their selection nine months from now based on whether Democrats were too rowdy at the speech

It's natural law, yinz. It's in the Magna Carta.

Cancun to Puerto Vallarta is like Tampa to San Diego.
