pod save america, the podcast of Obama's most annoying briefcase carriers and PR people

You know, I'm glad the Nazi tattoo seems to be turning the majority of people off of Platner finally, but I think it still speaks pretty poorly of some people on here that "victim-blaming women for rape while he was a bartender" was not disqualifying enough on its own.

Why even act as if it's so important that this one guy gets elected?!? There are other people and BTW this calculus for a guy who is racist/misogynistic AT BEST because maybe voters are maybe a little more bigoted now?? Do you hear yourself?

“.. They are the asylum seekers, the rule followers. They go into the federal building holding papers .. hoping for a measure of due process. Some leave the courthouse with a hearing date set months or years from now. Others disappear into ICE’s prison system.” @nymag.com nymag.com/intelligence...

Here on Earth A Trump rips down part of the White House while a month long shut down drags on all to protect him from the Epstein Files on Earth B Biden finishes a round of cancer treatment while the press writes its millionth piece on how having a President with Cancer is a national disaster

It's all artisinal handcrafted wood trim and restoration double hung windows too, all probably crafted at significant expense for restorations by the national park service and probably mounted for easy removal for maintenance. But nope just smash it with a backhoe

I don't get you nerds. Adam Driver being in 3 star wars movies did not result in a single good star wars movie. You want a 4th bad star wars movie you can claim is "actually pretty good" gas lighting us for a few years until your priapism ends and you realize it is also a shitty movie?

He murdered a Colombian citizen in violation of domestic and international law. He’s now promising to illegally impose tariffs on Colombia because its president had the temerity to publicly criticize him for murdering one of that country’s citizens. Yes, we are the baddies.

Fun fact about my in-laws and their plans for a farm near Bakersfield And no, I'm not joking, and by "in-laws" I mean everyone in my husband's family except for my husband thought coffee farming was a viable option there

I always enjoy polls like this because you would never really get the sense on here that the Democratic base feels roughly equally positive toward Harris and AOC.

This saga is incredible. Never take the bait, kids

WAIT THIS BITCH ISN'T EVEN 30?!?!?!?

Sneaky underrated as one of the most terrible “reporters”. Basically a walking stereotype of the proposition that outlets like the NYT were just chomping at a Trump win

I was confused by releasing K-Pop Demon Hunters in theaters because the low frame rate and wildly inconsistent and mostly mediocre, cheap animation (with a few better, stand out bits) but money I guess? Maybe ppl don't see it?

This is who you're aligning yourself with when you say it doesn't matter when candidates for office victim-shame for sexual assault btw

Every defense of Platner I've seen are from the most sexist men on the internet who claim to be left (for now), which really doesn't make the point they think it does

Desperately trying to figure out what conceivable difference there is between Mr. Rapey Homophobic Slur and Ted Cruz and seeing none

This is an incredibly disgusting and misogynistic thing to say to a stranger. I feel terrible for the women in your life, in the unlikely event that there are any.

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

What way now apolitical military professional?

I really really really wish there was "private account" option here.

Dot-Com was my 1st bubble and while the flavor is the same, the consequences of this one I think will be far more massive

my favorite type of people

Thing about this movie is that in addition to being politically trenchant, it’s goddamn hilarious.

Just no tolerance for this shit anymore. Shut the fuck up already. What have you ever done that should grant you the right to respectful deference on this? Join the fucking military if you want to claim veterancy and be thanked for your service, rather than trying gatekeep mass politics.

My god you are *the worst*

Lol, Omaha 50501 is entirely dumb tankies who hate libs and Democrats before anyone else. Get your head out of your ass.

The local 50501 group (the folks organizing the protest on Saturday) are virulent antisemetic tankies. Yet I clearly have to go to the protest anyway and this annoys me so much. Gonna drape myself in the flag and the Magen David

It's really weird that the people who were doing a "genocide" are nearly universally joyously celebrating the end of a horrific war and those who've spent the last 2 years saying "Ceasefire Now!" are angry and miserable. Why aren't they happy the genocide has stopped?

This is fine but don't pretend if a mainstream Dem woman made this ad y'all wouldn't call it cringe af AOC a couple of years ago could've gotten away with it, now I'm not so sure. This take brought to you by the person who thinks Pokémon Go to the polls was inspired and had coconut tree merch

NEW @motherjones.com: Nobody in that GOP group chat praising Hitler or making racist comments was a “kid,” as JD Vance claimed today I tracked down their ages. (Weirdly, it seems nobody else did.) Eight of the 11 in the group chat range from 24 to 35. Ages of others are unclear. But… no “kids”!

while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.

“Kids”…

It's somehow both wildly underreported and just out in the open that the vice president is either a neo-Nazi or, at a bare minimum, a neo-Nazi fellow traveler.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked. They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

My friends back home thought I was overstressing about resigning from my job, but now that I'm back in the office it is very clear that they're mad at me for leaving Like it is CHILLY in here

If you have a Republican Congressperson or Republican Senators, you need to be calling them every single day and demanding they stop protecting pedophiles and start doing the work of the nation. Every day. No exceptions. Do it.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog. www.cbsnews.com/video/some-n...

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Happy Columbo’s Day

Lot of discourse today that seems to think Israel lacks internal politics.

I really don't get how Bibi "controls our discourse" and nothing in the context shows it, I don't think Bibi would want Americans thinking "Trump stopped my genocide."

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

This is just a west coast > midwest thing. We have bars and breweries that they can barely dream of. I drank beer produced in an old brewery on a farm with live music and roosters destroying sofas and fire pits yesterday

Hello, for all that I complain about shit, I'm an effective Democrat for one reason: I want the fucking Democrats to win and I think the other side sucks garbage out of the stinky old bin's fucking ass

we're all very powerless right now and for some people having their cynicism proved right gives them the illusion of control

Atheists stop viewing the world through a lens of Christian hegemony challenge rating impossible

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child. She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck. This is not about immigration enforcement. It's about terrorizing Americans.
