I feel like the traditional Russian solution is a bit more permanent than firing.

Not to disparage Cameron here, but I really feel like we might need to stop inventing new types of guy at this juncture.

Jesus. Why would you wish something so terrible upon another poaster? Next you'll be saying we should force the status of congressperson on @golikehellmachine.com.

Props to this guy

Just got to introduce my wife to the fact that there are people out there who read stories about fucking Bigfoot. Literally no political poasting tonight can top this high.

The majority of white voters caved in 2024.

Honestly, 6/10 is better than I would have expected for this unholy creation and *might* almost be enough to push me into the "Eh, sure, I'll do it for a laugh" category.

Watching "Welcome to Demon School!" has reminded me that "Kyou kara Maou!" exists and I am unreasonably excited to realize that I've got that marathon in my near future.

Much like Tom Holland's greatest performance, I'll never not retweet this regardless of context.

At this point, I almost see that as a win. Dude's gonna be dead pretty soon and the blame for all his shit is gonna be on the Rs who desperately struggled to grant his wishes.

"Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun" is hardly the best anime out there but man do some moments hit. Villain goes on a massive rant about how great it is to see the protag fall to despair and then Iruma just goes: "Nah, pass" and walks up to the doomsday weapon and hurls it into the sky.

This is an awkward one because this site thrives on certainty but I'm neither too happy nor too outraged by all of this. "Dems fought to preserve healthcare but caved after it became clear that even planes falling out of the sky wasn't enough to move Rs from gutting it" ain't the worst sell to me.

Because he's Christopher Walken?

I'm one of Fetterman's constituents, indeed, I was a Fetterman voter in 2022. I will be voting against him in the 2028 primary. With that said, you people need to take a fucking break from politics; you're pickling your minds. Never forget: This is the Republicans' fault. It always will be.

I think Israel is committing genocide in Palestine, I just also think Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine which some people are fascinatingly committed to being red, nude, and angry about

I'm unfortunately not as committed to one answer or another on this fight but I *do* think it's only a matter of time before we end up at a catastrophic plane disaster thanks to the ruination going on with our air traffic controllers. Avoiding the fight over who to blame for that one seems not bad.

Quite a marvel that the dude looks demonstrably worse than the artificially aged version of him from Back to the Future 2.

any bsky poaster have a theory of victory aligned with keeping the govt shutdown indefinitely I'm all ears, because again I think I've got a history that's pretty indicative I'm more than supportive of COAs that fuck me over personally if there's a viable path to an achievable end state

It's actually really simple, Nina Turner is mad that prop 50 passed because it means fewer Republicans will hold power & she wants Republicans to hold power.

*deep breath* Young people’s ignorance of how homophobic American society was 30 years ago is a welcome sign of progress. Young people’s ignorance of how homophobic American society was 30 years ago is a welcome sign of progress. Young people’s ignorance of how homophobic American society was 30 y

Lol. Never pin any hopes on a Republican breaking ranks. Would be fucking hilarious, though.

Seems like a real peach.

people really need to work on their emotional regulation, because its off the hook guys.

if you think it is important enough to eat a career-killing bullet for this shitty deal, i will respect your wishes, but your career has to eat that bullet

Also: be grateful as fuck that you're not one of the people making the call either way.

My spawnling has stripped down to his diaper but also wants to cuddle because now he's cold...

I continue to think one of the biggest divides on this site is between people who understand that the last time we had a good, relatively easy way out of all this was Nov 5, 2024, and people who still don’t.

I just want more resilience from my side of the aisle. Which means from Democratic senators, but also from the people on this site acting like it’s time to die

Hot take: I don't want the guy who created OMAC to be in the Senate. Granted, I also don't want Bateman in the Senate.

Someday maybe the press will note the difference between "taking" questions and "answering" them.

While I'm not particularly ready to weigh in one way or another about the consequences of caving here, I will note that a lot of people loudly declared that the *last* cave was certain to destroy the Dems popularity in the face of Republican evil and, well... *gestures*

"If Democrats are seen as the party looking out for federal employees by getting them their paychecks that will be a PR disaster because people hate federal employees" sure is a take you can post, I can say so because I'm unfortunate enough to have seen it with my own eyes

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments. My response ⬇️

Pretty sure they're mostly booing Trump, Eric. Though it's entirely possible to hold some disrespect for folks choosing to join the military while witnessing what Trump's trying to make of it.

Always fun to have cause to post this one.

How is it even a question? Retro games are great fashion choices. 2005 *sob*

what the fuck is this bum doing on my goddamn football screen get politics out of sports!

I just called Durbin to tell him not to cave but that was real easy for me to do with a full fridge

I continue to be in a "I'll believe it when I see it" state of mind but I'm also in a "I don't want my neighbor and her son to be ruined in the hopes that enough agony causes an uprising against Trump" let alone "Surely the Republicans are going to decide that they care about poor people now."

I'm 53, so as one of the Olds do the Youngs not know what has happened in just my lifetime? My Mom got a credit card, in her name, without the permission (though he was absolutely in favor) of my Dad, because she no longer needed his permission. The year Star Wars came out. 1977. I was five. 1/

Okay, it is still open enrollment and i am still trying to convince you to go and sign up for health insurance. I know it is expensive and scary. But you can do it. The thread embedded here is a tutorial on how to understand and make that decision. I will now write a quickie version.

Some cursed object purchases are honest mistakes that could happen to anyone. If you buy this thing, though, you totally deserve to have your throat ripped out by a possessed sock puppet.

Doublethink might’ve finally reached a limit in (1) “we’re totally in charge, nothing can stand in our way, everything is great” and (2) “things are awful and getting worse, we’re powerless, it’s all the minority party’s doing.” Especially when the people in charge grin as they say “getting worse.”

When a Democrat is in the White House it’s “those Democrats” When a Republican is in the White House it’s “the government” or “both sides”

❌ i have no horse in this race ✅ i have no cat in these pajamas

Nobody who spouts this position on European politics has had a single solitary conversation with a center left European about immigration.

this is a perfect 30 rock joke

No, I'm pretty sure it's still left vs. right, Democrat vs. Republican. The Republicans did this, the right-wingers did this
