JJJ being a "woke on every issue but one" guy is my favorite characterization of him

We simply must increase our numbers. Mandatory college, legalization of all immigrants, jihad on woo and anti-vaxxers.

Hrmm

While we’re here can we talk about how these guys from the “Fight Agency” dressed him up as the no-holds-barred anti-GOP candidate and then every rally he had was “actually you know Republicans are amenable to all this too, you just have to be nice and unify with them” like the alleged “centrists”

Silvio woke up from his coma:

Credit to Bluesky, “Nazi tattoo bad” managed to nail the litmus test on the first go-round.

functionally I think the reason his weakest numbers were with the “working class” is that educational polarization rules the world, they all live in the MAGA bubble, and nobody has figured out how to change that dynamic

Trying to think of how to put this into words but: *yes* it is good that Dems, unlike Republicans, will axe a Platner at some point, but the entire pitch behind Platner — Dems need to do unapologetic rugged masculinity!!! — was *always* building to a “Woops we recruited a rapist” reveal.

I do think it's ironic that the wing of the Democratic Party that loves to holler about "the consultant class" threw themselves behind a guy who... listened to different consultants and ran a terrible campaign because of it

A major difference between legitimate criticism of AIPAC/Israel/Soros, versus bigotry, is whether one criticizes things they actually do, or uses them as all-encompassing bogeymen for everything bad. I don't think El-Sayed deserves all the criticism he gets, but this is bad and he should apologize.

Ah yes, Utena

Outside of Susan Collins, the Maine GOP is allegedly freaking out now too. Collins had much more oppo ready to go

Shout out to this mental health wellness check ad that was at the LACC during AX that's using Cloud as an example of someone who needs a therapist

It's way down on the list of reasons to be angry at Graham Platner, but I'm angry at him for making John Fetterman look like the reasonable one.

God this is pathetic. I thought masculinity was about taking responsibility…

deplatform every chud 2028

apart from anything else, that video demonstrates yet again he was the wrong candidate

graham just say jews this is taking forever

Okay, now it’s Republicans’ turn to kick out the most prominent rapist in their party

There is a powerful movement of working class people in the state of Maine, and millions more across America who are ready to send a progressive fighter to the Senate. I’m in. We’re going to defeat Susan Collins. Maine deserves a Senator that will fight for working families.

I guarantee you Platner will say anti-trans shit on FOX within a month

Warhammer 40k Take your pick: The fascist theocratic police state whose economy is dependent on cyborg slaves? Or the marauding bands of Space Satanists that want to tear reality apart by spilling open your entrails? And that's before we get to the Tyranids, Necrons and Drukhari.

yeah, not all that surprised that a guy who was incapable of taking responsibility for any of his choices or decisions also refuses to take responsibility for this one.

Senator Troy Jackson...had a nice ring to it, don't you think?

why, did something happen

Something can't be yuribait if they're actually a couple. You can quibble about how it sucked that the show didn't get to highlight this as much as the crew wanted or this or that, but it's undeniably a show where the girls end up together and they are dating during the show

truly excited to get back to the most important maine senate topic soon: why susan collins is the worst

Perfect response. Platner needs to step down immediately, and he has no standing to have any role in dictating the process for this replacement, the end

Ban Trump from any further sporting event that matter. He is a plague on our sports teams.

Until we address the fact most talented soccer players in the US can’t afford to compete because club and travel teams have snuffed rec/school ball out, this is probably going to keep happening.

Hire Spurs, you eventually get Spurs.

no chance Trump will ruin the vibes for the USWNT next year at least, he hates them and the feeling is mutual

the next USMNT is just the women's team wearing moustaches.

How high do you think the tariffs on Belgium are going to be tomorrow?

Don’t send a man to do a woman’s job

Well, with everyone I had in my pre-tournament list eliminated, we now go to the classic option: Whoever is playing against England

Haaland must bring Hatsune Miku to the Finals. Crush England, Messi, and France.

Cause and effect Knicks have a historic 13 game postseason winning streak going Trump shows up. Falls asleep. Knicks lose USMNT in the round of 16 Trump sticks his nose in the Balogun red card controversy The team has a nightmare game and Pulisic gets injured Everything Trump Touches Dies

Whatever happens the rest of the tournament, Perfidious Albion must not be allowed to hoist the Cup on American soil. I'm counting on you Big Tall Blonde Norwegian man whose name I didn't know until two weeks ago.

I haven't seen an offensive flounder against Belgians like this since the Battle of the Bulge.

All Trump had to do was shut up about the Red Card. All Trump had to do was shut up about the Red Card. All Trump had to do was shut up about the Red Card. But he cursed the American Team the moment he bragged about it.

Trump broke the Knicks playoff win streak and got them their only loss of the finals. Now he’s ruined the UNMNT World Cup run—likable team, plays hard, had a good showing, not their fault—managing to get the whole world to root against the United States.

Since the U.S. is out, I'm going with Norway the rest of the way. They got the power of Thor and Miku on their side.
