every now and then I step back a bit and admire just how truly batshit insane the situation the country is in truly is

Daniel Lurie was created in a lab to make SF voters look as stupid as possible

It makes you think

Oh my god “cOpS iNjUrEd.” Like ICE, if these guys get a hangnail while bashing you with a baton, they were the victim and seriously injured.

True comedy is watching Dave Portnay trying to use a hammer

Law enforcement: we need to break encryption to get access to Signal to protect the children!! Also law enforcement: for years couldn’t catch a pedophile sex trafficker who used email to coordinate all of his pedophile sex trafficking

The only way to destroy the NYT is to get people to stop playing their games on their app.

there are liberals who will swear on a stack of bibles that playing wordle doesnt help the nyt bottom line, or that the times doesnt make any money from it. we have a liberal media literacy problem.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

I know it may be hard to accept that the Dems have Clinton era baggage dragging them down but it's something we must consider

but please keep stanning the pope because he knows ball or whatever www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Can none of these millionaires sex criminals write in full sentences? Have you heard of paragraphs? Punctuation? No wonder ChatGPT sounds like a genius to these clowns.

to read an obituary

complicit

About the same time the NYT sat on a scoop tying Trump to Epstein, Maggie Haberman was downright giddy (y'all) about NYT promoting an anti-Hillary Clinton book.

every single one of these emails is someone I already hate messaging a notorious pedophile to say "Thanks for the great time! I had fun doing pedophile stuff with you. P.S. Trump was there with us the whole time"

Anyway one reason I don't feel bad about demanding Al Franken's resignation last decade is I'm just sick to death of elite impunity and I want anyone who gets elected to have the fear of God drilled into them that they are expendable.

guys be like yes I’m proud of my ancestor who survived the defense of slavery at Appomattox by shitting himself and smearing blood all his clothes to feign death. He starved that nexr winter tho after he couldn’t figure out seed goes in hole in the ground food comes out

good times create shitty parents

The fact that not a single member of the Senate Dem caucus has called for Schumer to be replaced shows you how deep the rot is. This includes Sanders and Warren.

no respect is due

Nope, we’re done with political dynasties thanks

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

People need to understand that Chicago is a preview, not a culmination.

Like for six weeks, Democrats actually united on a singular, coherent message of “this is entirely about healthcare, it is the only thing that matters, all of this is about protecting healthcare” and then the flight delays started and the first thing they did was give up on healthcare

The party leaders who said “don’t talk about fascism, talk about health insurance costs” so much that everyone was mocking them are now caving to Republicans on health insurance costs. Do I have this right?

democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up

...now everyone can understand my frustration with: 'HuMAns cOuldN'T BuILd tHe PyRAmidS. It MuSt hAVe beEn AliEns.'

Imagine being a government employee who sacrificed all the way through this shutdown only to have chuck schumer sell you out for nothing.

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Also, mass layoffs are happening across a growing number of industries, and the job market is BRUTAL. Anyone who thinks they won't need a marketplace plan in 2026 just because they have employer-sponsored healthcare right now needs a serious reality check

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Bitch please a lot of Americans barely even remember Jan 6th

ah well, nevertheless

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

the Dems keep operating like this cynical shit has no effect. It’s why their core voters don’t fucking show up. When they say “we fight for you” nobody believes them, because they constantly pull shit like this and say “what else are you gonna vote for.” But then people STAY HOME.

Considering Trump leads the GOP, really quite an achievement for the Democrats to be the dumbest party in DC

The Democrats are gonna try to spin this as 8 rogue senators. This is a Schumer op.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

Nobody in American politics hates their own voters more than the Democratic Party

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

we understand perfectly well. it’s why we want to abolish this undemocratic monstrosity of an institution and why you should never get to eat another restaurant meal in your life that someone hasn’t spat in

I genuinely can't get over them taking this course after watching Tuesday's results. They hate winning

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

Did ChatGPT tell the Democratic Party to kill itself??
