This is proof that the guy who did win is just controlled opposition and nothing will change I am very smart

I think if there are so many House D’s that want impeachment and leadership is stopping them they should simply elect new leadership. The reality is impeachment goes nowhere in the Senate if you manage to get enough are on your petition in the house.

I watched Oppenheimer on a plane with a little kid next to me. That was a mad scramble to get the iPad face down before he noticed lol

A commenter notes that "Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation. An unprecedented feat." 😭

The Artemis splashdown bit is hilarious because he tried to do the same thing with the men’s hockey team and the end result is everyone fucking hates hockey players now. 24 hours prior everyone loved the men’s team! There were memes and videos about the team, that he immediately turned to shit

It was probably a bad idea to tear up the JCPOA then bomb the shit out of Iran and prove all those hardliners were right all along

I’m pretty apoplectic about American decline but we started nailing the coffin shut in 2000, lowered it into the ground in 2016, and now we’re shoveling dirt. The broad outcomes of dismantling the post WW2 world were cast in November, now we just get to see the details of how it plays out.

I’m tired of being told I need to die in a street fight with fascists because people couldn’t be bothered to fucking vote. I don’t think any of these assholes are going to support my disabled partner after I’m dead either.

The idea of spending limited time and resources on people that don’t vote is like selling ground beef but deciding to target Vegans with your marketing.

Is there any other character so consumed by its third party representation that the actual character doesn’t even exist in pop culture anymore?

My thoughts on age in politics is that when I was 10 years old, a boomer was president. Now I’m 44 years old, and a boomer is president. In fact the only time in my conscious life a boomer hasn’t been president is for two terms when someone even older was president.

Always smart to google “fire safety” once you’ve lit your house on fire.

Maybe part of the issue here is that everyone under 75 is relatively unknown because we’ve sidelined everyone in the quest to keep 75 year olds in office forever.

The original sin of Disco that I couldn’t get past is that a core part of Trek is diplomatic conflict resolution. Disagreement with a fellow Officer? Time to prove to them that you’re right. Unless you’re Burnham, then you just nerve pinch the captain and fail at your mutiny.

Counterpoint: Maybe we should be giving our failsons largely ceremonial trappings of power so they’re less inclined to actually chase it and destroy things.

I’m pulling this out of the context of the thread, so everyone should go read it. I’m honestly kind of tired of the whole “well we can try to get the shithead in and hopefully he’ll side with us” stuff. Like he just seems like a bad person and I think we need less bad people in power.

My expectation is this happens once he starts making noise about nukes tbh

In my more cynical moments I think about this and how if it’s true we’re basically fucked. I suppose you can try outreach, but this is a choice they’re making, and giving them more options defeats the purpose of their choice.

I have negative respect for Libertarians, but I’ll make an exception for Cato

Sometimes I wonder if the constant framing by the press(even ostensibly left press) of everything as a failure of the Democratic Party is the reason average people blame dems for everything. Like there are people that legit think Roe was overturned by Biden because pod save bros blamed him.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

Then fucking leave dude.

Here’s the thing: I used to have Stancil blocked on the Nazi site. I didn’t like him, but the problem is all the people that hate him are just the fucking worst, so I have to assume I’m wrong and he’s actually not that bad. Like all of these chuds hate him and I can’t be on the same side as them.

"1789 showed that kings can be overthrown!" Oliver Cromwell: Am I a joke to you?

I think there’s something to the Obama comparisons. If she runs it’s smart to say she’s better off waiting for the next cycle, but she’s already more experienced than he was. They’re both the right candidate at the wrong time but the political landscape has other ideas.

Friendly reminder, if anyone says “if they’re going to do voter ID they need to make it easy to get ID” they fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of voter ID laws. They’re meant to *discourage voting* If you make it easy to get the ID, that defeats the purpose Republicans have in pushing them.

BAAAAAAABE BABE BABE BABE WAKE UP THEY’RE RECREATING THE 2008 FINANCIAL CRISIS FROM FIRST PRINCIPLES

Also many of those civilians will be shooting back. The US military struggles with COIN in places that don’t have 1-2 guns per person.

I don’t even think that’s a stance to get negatively polarized into, it’s just the truth. The goal for any movement should be getting every day people involved in it, but a certain group of people consider activist to be a job they have, and they get mad when you do their job.

Watching these Grammys, you have to wonder if perhaps the Silicon Valley bros made a classic VC mistake and went all-in on reactionary politics right before the bottom dropped out.

Woke 1 was metaphorical pitchforks online. Woke 2 is going to be real ones.

lol remember during the primary how you got screamed at if you suggested him pointing a gun at a black jogger was indicative of anything Who were the people doing that it was the establishment libs right I'm just gonna say it was thuh shitlibs

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

This evil administration is not only physically endangering children, it's emotionally traumatizing them by the thousands, if not millions. This will be a scar our nation will bear forever. Never vote for a Republican and take every opportunity to shame any Democrat who supports their atrocities.

I think these mugshots really vibrantly depict what @adamserwer.bsky.social wrote here: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

This is extra funny to me because they keep envisioning some network of high level well trained antifa operatives being behind all this instead of what’s really going on: everyone fucking hates them.

I have had to have a lot of serious internal debates about where the line is where I decide my life as it exists is over and the only solution is violence and death. I encourage everyone else to think about this thing as well.

I think the idea that Europe will get bogged down in bureaucracy over Greenland is funny. We gave Europeans meetings like that to stop them from doing total warfare every 20 years, my biggest fear with the dismantling of American hegemony is they go back to that.

The too smart take on this is that the regime wants straight up violence against ICE to justify escalation and my take now is that it’s inevitable, we might as well get it out of the way

This is a solvable problem

It’s important to me that politics uses its last chance to solve this problem over the next 2 cycles, because if it doesn’t, if politics can’t provide the blood that a significant number of Americans require, they will get it themselves.

This is a stupid post but the replies are great for farming blocks

Anyone that replies to me with 6 skeets is getting blocked. Nothing you have to say needs that much posting.

Compare the statement about the antisemitic terror attack in Australia by the Israeli Prime Minister with the one by Zohran Mamdani, and ask yourself who more truly cares about condemning antisemitism, as opposed to using it to promote unrelated politics.

Code Pink is a fucking op and they’re absolutely fine with imperialism, just not US imperialism.

Commit this to memory: those who place themselves above the law's reach are beyond the law's protection

I opened Apple Maps and navigated to Costco and it just called the suicide hotline?

My broken record opinion on immigration is that everyone wants Biden/Obama policy and think that’s what Trump was going to give them.

Can anyone that thinks like this explain to me what fighting looks like?
