I would love to see a reporter calculate the rough cost of this. Like 1500 people at $500 a day per diem (DC hotels + M&IE) + flights?

How much of consumer spending is being driven by people trying to beat the imposition of tariffs that ultimately never come?

What if we took society's most abusive, misogynist, racist shitheads and endowed them with the state monopoly on violence?

Not to defend Schumer or neg McMorrow, but she was polling behind Haley Stevens and also didn't fare as well against the Republican compared to Stevens. I'm sure there was some shitty gatekeeping, but also the DSCC seemed focused on supporting the candidate that was most likely to win

Since I could see the landing plane starting a go-around as the other plane (near my dot) was still rotating, I’d say this was a proximity problem

Nothing voters love more than stammering cowardice in the face of an obviously stupid and bad-faith question

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

I'm sure "arbitrarily fire nurses and beloved late night comedians" is a real winning strategy, please run with that

look, all the ghoulishness aside, if I was in charge I wouldn't advertise that there's a high likelihood that our military can't reliably distinguish between "narco-terrorists" and fishermen

A Voltron of bad-faith mediocrity

So the one Spanberger commercial I’ve seen is just her basically saying “everything my opponent says about me is false I’m actually good” and uh, I don’t know maybe frame the debate in terms of what you stand for not how your opponent’s attacks aren’t true?

If I wanted my party to be led in the House by a clout-chasing backstabbing little bitch with no actual principles I’d just become a Republican

In contrast to mine yesterday in MD that was in and out in a couple minutes, my wife had to wait like an hour for hers in VA even with an appointment because so many people were there

Went to MD for my Covid shot instead of risking it in VA and the pharmacist said they were flooded with Virginians coming over to get vaxxed

Meet Cozey, our new foster boy. His owner died and all his other siblings got adopted but he wasn’t because he has heartworm. If you want to adopt the sweetest senior pup, I know a guy….

glad that the edgiest thing I could imagine doing online as a teenager was putting Tool lyrics in my AOL profile

Feel free to do your own moment of silent wanking motion

Just purchased a Coca Cola at DCA what is happening

any excuse to post this youtu.be/c6692U1AD54?...

Tide Lock park is absolutely crawling with spotted lantern flies

"Consent" isn't really a meaningful word in the conservative lexicon in any context

begging Dem politicians to just attack transphobes and transphobia directly instead of this mealy-mouthed focus group bullshit. Earle-Sears is an absolute lunatic and I don't even think Republicans like her, just call her views weird and gross and stand up for people FFS

Guess we'll find out how strict they're gonna be with this. When I made my appt. at the CVS in Del Ray the website said nothing about a prescription.

Slightly diminish a book Disagreement on the Bounty

bets on how long until we see footage of vehicles on the US side of the Mexican border getting blasted to smithereens for "transporting terrorists" or whatever?

Based on my not-insignificant experience with security dudes (derisive), there is no single greater object of lust and obsession for the security dude than a BearCat. Like there are facility security guys convinced they could stop a full on Chinese military assault with a single BearCat

Siri letting me know I can call in to my car’s oil change appointment. Huge if true

This exact voter is pretty common in West Virginia, for example (well, I don't think there are many Musk fans, but anti-billionaire Trump supporters are not a small contingent in the state)

I’m angry that she was killed inside the Capitol because she should’ve been shot before she stepped foot inside the fucking building

Johnson and Pritzker could lock in the 2028 ticket right now by holding a press conference today and only saying the words "Tom Homan is a little bitch" in unison

My buddies started a new Appalachian Oi! punk band called Scrip and they absolutely rip! I’m hoping to record a demo for them soon but live shit will have to do for now

under-discussed CHUD indicator is those tough-guy black rubber wedding bands

you definitely want to station fighter jets in Alaska whose landing gear will ice up in the middle of summer www.cnn.com/2025/08/27/u...

So everyone has just decided to drive with their brights on all the time now?

My dog found a pacifier on the trail, used it correctly, and refused to give it up

My mom is from Idaho and has been here many times and the worst thing she’s seen is like, an unhoused person asking for money, and she’d probably nod in agreement with this 🤷‍♂️

Spent the weekend with West Coast normie libs and they don’t like Newsom but LOVE Pete Buttigieg, which wasn’t what I expected

There’s a strain of Democrat that believes “real Americans” hate cities even if they’re being taken over by a literal military occupation force and these “real Americans” are more important voters than anyone living in said cities

My wife is in a boot for a broken foot and could walk a mile in less than 18 minutes

Slightly related and we’re past the “rawdogging flights” discourse, but the guy next to me was a maga chud who did the 5 hour flight with no headphones, book, movie, anything. Like you’re just gonna listen to the marbles rolling around up there or what?

If you keep your Mt Rainier-side plane window closed during a bluebird approach into Seattle you should get thrown out of the emergency exit

I don't believe that Jeffries is really a Democrat so much as he is an ambitious guy who believes he can gain clout by participating in Democratic politics. I would venture to say that he has no personal ideology at all

Absolutely not.

Curious how long they can keep this up because USPP are the laziest motherfuckers in the federal workforce and all this work interferes with their lounging-on-their-parked-motorcycles time

I don’t know how anyone in her age range who has seen like, one action movie made from like 1980-1997 could think crime is bad. Like if LA turns into a Predator 2-level gang battleground or rollerblading white nationalist drug cartels start shooting people in the streets, I’ll concede the point

bragging about being a giant pussy is integral to the conservative mindset

I think it will be interesting to see just how many prospective jurors the courts are going to be actually be able to seat for cases like this
