It is trash how much the press was willing to cover the age and didn’t let the “Haitians are eating dogs” story last more than 48 hours, or his performance at the Black Journalists Conference, or his empty speeches, or him drifting away mid-song through all of October.

here's why I like Mamdani it's not because the left (who I'm often antagonistic to) loves him. it's because the right hates him. he causes them pain and suffering and anxiety and consternation, and the way I know the good guys are winning is that the bad guys are losing

I think the Katz comments are a premature victory lap more than anything. He still seems like a bad egg to me though.

me waking up and opening this app

*guy who posts guillotine memes* this tool defeats fascism

*guy who posts guillotine memes* this is how the French stopped the 1%

*guy who posts guillotine memes* libs would never

The Mamdani-Trump summit is fun but c’mon, it’s not the vindication of the left/right-populist or red/brown alliance stuff.

1. Only Nixon could go to China. Having a Nixon on your side is no bad thing 2. If your surrogates oversell the chumminess after you spent the whole day striking a delicate balance, it's incumbent on you to find new surrogates

The Bluesky servers would fry and none of us would be able to post for two weeks if Chuck Schumer said this after meeting with Trump

I mean I think it’s funnier that so many people are giving Mamdani his flowers for this and would have an absolutely level 10 melt down if Spanberger had done the exact same thing.

Trump’s ability, seemingly not even in any way under his conscious control, to cause absolute idiots to look at him and immediately project their vision of a leader who understands and shares their goals onto him despite his manifest loathing for them and their politics is genuinely a marvel.

it sucks that we're getting a presidency that's as bad as the RFK presidency and the Trump presidency happening at the same time

Donald Trump: champion of the people, brave working class Real American left behind by the effete and decadent Establishment the grocery store cashier with nose piercing: the aforementioned Establishment i am biggest brain

My brother how could you look at the election results from two weeks ago and think “damn handing it to republicans is how we’ll win”

this doesn’t go far enough. ireland must take the kennedys back. yes, all of them. i don’t care if caroline and joe jr jr jr or whatever he’s called are okay, we can’t leave anything to chance

You driving a truck: I’m so big and manly people probably think I do something like roofing or carpentry maybe even like steel or something Everyone watching: lol it looks like a toddler man is driving

Not me I’m amplifying all of it. Guess I’m just built different:

Listen only dudes who live in a liberal bubble occasionally punctured by a small number of republicans think they can be good. Anyone who grew up with a true red blooded rural family connection know this is an insane thought.

Me normal well adjusted making progress: vote blue no matter who You a freak scaring the normies about to lose a primary: Trump is a bottom-up politician he speaks to the working class and Republicans have some points I trust them more than corporate dems also Obama was Black Ronald Reagan

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Chapo Trap House listeners and Matt Yglesias “slow boring” substack subscribers have identical politics

Denver DSA: we get along more with Republicans than Democrats

Anyway you should believe all of the people who defended Nuzzi when they told you this is what they think journalism is

I’m pretending to be horrified but this is actually extremely funny—and important for when we undo all of RFK’s bullshit and hold him to account

Trump has always known how to play the press—his biggest mistake was thinking the American public would willing participate in con as long as journalists would.

Im disappointed in a lot of you. We are seasoned, hardened 38 year old veterans of the internet. And yet youre falling for this and claiming to be shocked? Really? Where is your grit

Yr open mouth awaiting my harvest Drink from me, Love I mean to squeeze your cheeks to force open your mouth I’ll hold your nose as you look up at me to encourage you to swallow ‘Dont spill a drop’ i am a river You are my canyon I mean to flow through you I mean to subdue and tame you. My Love

I prefer waking up to this news as opposed to going to sleep with it so I’d like to thank my children for making staying up late nearly impossible.

*blurry-eyed half awake sipping coffee* what is Bluesky freaking out about? *90 seconds into scrolling* wait what’s the Lizza sorry about…oh god no

Really excited to have move on from Governor “Why is He Like This?” though I really hope that _kind of guy_ is not required in order to have half-decent housing politics in CO

To be fair, centrist grifters are absolutely livid because this is a bridge too far for their subtle “is Trump good actually?” Substack.

What’s so pathetic about dudes like Ryan Grim and Matt Stoller is that they never know when they’ve been played as absolute marks. So of course they can’t recognize that Mamdani played Trump like a 3 card monte dealer.

speaking as a virginia beach native if these kind of dudes are plotting against ICE then there is wide runway in public opinion for straight up abolishing the agency under a dem presidency

this trump administration is bent on turning high school assistant principals into John Brown

Jokes on them because leftist grifters are really dreamy eyed about the potential of supporting Trump without any qualifiers

Jared Polis might be who all the leftist types thought Joe Biden was.

No one talks about the west wing more than people who listen to chapo trap house

this is your brain when your entire politics is just a set of aesthetics

there are a lot of poeple who believe the dems are in charge even when they're not in charge

I have met someone who was unable to win an office for the state legislature because his opponent screen grabbed one of his tweets calling Obama “Black Ronald Reagan” and—because he was running in a district with a large Black population—he lost by double digits in the primary.

Related, often people being the loudest about “upending the political establishment” just work for a different faction of established power.

Something funny about being online is that I—a person who has never been paid to work for a campaign or political office—will frequently be accused of being part of the “establishment” by people who currently work on campaigns and for politicians.

Official policy of this admin is nostalgia via ai generated Facebook memes

People posting guillotine memes about how the French ended the 1% will also talk about how making the military more representative is bad are the greatest proof that none of these morons have read about the revolutions they worship.

I believe that brains dead “leftist” memes have made people more reactionary and less socialist

I remember the doomers last year saying Trump would inherit Biden’s economy with diminishing inflation and ride that to popular success, a successful midterm and authoritarian consolidation. OOOPS!

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

*perceptively*- the scoring formula on Dancing With the Stars isn’t very transparent, seems like fan votes and judges scores aren’t _the whole story_

What’s really funny about the Colorado “working families party” releasing a statement from Wynn Powell is that the organization is mostly just Wynn Powell and does what she wants to do and is made of committees with friends she’s nominated.
