In a just world we’d be looking at a mass societal uprising from decent-minded people who are Done With This Shit.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

What a great day for finding out that a lot of things people thought were conspiracies are actually backed up by emails that are like hey pedo, let us pedo together in pedoland on the second day of the pedo month

All right, let's do a brief recap of today. Tonight, there's a vote on reopening the government. So Speaker Mike Johnson had to reopen the House of Reps. Why was it closed? Well, there's been a discharge petition zooming around to bring a vote on disclosing the Epstein files to the floor.

Heads up: If you haven't read A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by @tkingfisher.com (and frankly that's criminal in the first place) and you're on Audible, it's part of the 2 for 1 sale right now. You won't regret it. It has a possibly sentient, probably murderous sourdough starter in it.

two possibilities, both impossible to dismiss: 1) The Trump White House views the Epstein files as such a threat to its survival they must be discussed in a secure room 2) Leavitt has no idea what the situation room is and thinks its just a figure of speech

We all have our personal red flags when it comes to Trump but mine has always been how he treated and spoke about teenage Ivanka.

I'm not usually of the "He's got to go!!!" camp because whipping votes and donors is a job where the lion's share of work is done behind the scenes, and there's a lot of it to do. He's historically been pretty effective at it. But Schumer won't stop being Schumer and it's past time to No Schumer.

The revitalized media interest in Epstein over the past 48 hours is making my conspiracy brain sit up and taste the air.

This headline is journalistic malpractice. This isn't Epstein "alleging" that Trump knew. This is Epstein and Maxwell discussing - in 2011, long before Trump had political salience - how the FACT that Trump knew might play out Both of them took as a given that this was a fact in a private email

Uh-oh someone taught the menswear guy about kerning.

I know everyone hates these characters but every time I see them I imagine the ad exec who sat upright in bed at 3 AM with the epiphany that bears shit in the woods.

NO. No no no NO

Every day my sanity gets a little more wibbly-wobbly due to fiction being more sensible than fact.

there are a lot of Dems out there who are finally drafting their own dog to play basketball after being dunked on over and over again instead of just complaining to the refs they're just in the states instead of DC

Momo and Okarun superfan

Sometimes I wonder if this is actually the good timeline and in the other one where Harris won it's nothing but outright domestic terrorism. But this one is also domestic terrorism, just state-sponsored and an unbeatable budget, minus even the hint of a functioning government in any other respect.

It's Two Weeks Until Crystal Heart Is Out Day! #CrystalHeart

First cold night of the year, so pour one out for our former Attic Snake, wherever she may be. (Attic Snake used to hibernate in our attic and we could always tell when it was the first really cold night because the bats would start screaming. Then we got the roof replaced and patched the holes.)

....... Rachel Maddow's A-block is about immigration and ICE, not Dems' coward curl. She's got Bernie on later so maybe she's saving her comments for that, but this doesn't hit me as great.

I keep reading different takes on the shutdown cave, turning the bones over and over for hidden meaning, and no, the fuckers just wanted to get the planes going again.

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

My conspiracy brain is that Senate Dems are playing this so Johnson calls the house back into session and is forced to seat Grijalva, then the underwear gnomes something-something bill fails in the House, but before that, oops! Epstein vote!

Family member: Okay I've got questions about the NYC mayoral race. Me: *braces for incoming storm* FM: Who tf is Curtis Sliwa? Me: *rapidly course corrects for different storm*: Well...

they really want to test out that three missed meals theory www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

One theme that’s starting to come up in mainstream Dem talking points is how multiple systems are irreparably broken and we have to stop focusing on temporary or stopgap solutions and actually rebuild from scratch, and this fills me with hope.

They do not have a plan, they’ve never had a plan. They’ve also never had the votes to repeal the ACA which is *OVERWHELMINGLY* popular, nor have they been able to get the Supreme Court to overturn it, so instead they’ve just shut down the entire government to try forcing Dems to stop funding it.

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Every single time the "AI has feelings/Treat AI like a person" discussion comes up I turn into the old man yelling about a lamp.

It’s shit like this that makes me think the GOP doesn’t care about winning elections and they’re just not planning on having them. Because no one who thinks they have to win elections does this.

I don't get the point of this. There is literally no point whatsoever to do this due to funds already allocated, different funding sources found, etc, except if the cruelty is the point. And if it is the point, what is the long-term goal of showing their entire ass in public like this?

The chaos of this whole fucking thing is UNHINGED. Some states have already started to distribute money! Some people have gotten the payments! Is he going to demand they TAKE THE MONEY BACK? like what is going ON
