"did you even read the article???? the headline is bad but the article is good!!!" buddy if I see a restaurant called Dan's Fecal Stew i am not gonna go in there to see if maybe they printed the sign wrong

If you were wondering why so many people were outraged by Hegseth's "no quarter" bullshit, take a moment today to think about what it actually means...

ahh yeah here he comes, big DJT, Donny himself, looks like he brought a bag lunch, smart

NEW: With no authority under the Constitution to change election rules, President Trump has signed an executive order that calls for restricting voting by mail. The order is expected to be challenged in court www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is the correct lede for this news. This executive order is a press release cosplaying as an instruction, and I expect it to last maybe a week.

If I'm Taiwan and I care about maintaining de facto independence, I sure as heck want nuclear weapons now. I might decide its infeasible due to triggering a Chinese preemptive attack, but I sure as heck want them.

This is called “strategic defeat.” You have ended up in a worse position than before you began, with your adversary, while battered, emerging in a stronger position than before.

don't make me break out the Chart

We all know this is fascism.

not a big Hillary Clinton fan but the way the media is protecting the public from the details of Kash fucking Patel's personal emails is impossible to ignore

Waynesville NC #NoKings

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. #NoKings

And formally, according to our law, Depose him

The difference between these two is racism

#nokings in Waynesville NC. Looks like a bigger turnout than the last no knigs protest.

At this point since there’s basically no way to achieve our stated strategic goals and it’s questionable how we would even get back to status quo antebellum, like, it’s pretty reasonable to say the US lost (and entirely due to the stellar leadership of president deals & co).

listen man when the nerds tried to talk about this stuff you said you want to shove our heads down the toilet because something something austerity

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

to disappoint in advance i'm pretty serious about blue-no-matter-who at the moment and yeah that includes whichever Even That Guy you happened to have in mind for all Even That Guys of whom i currently have knowledge. that does not however mean you pull punches during the primary

hes going to keep fucking a hornets nest and get increasingly angrier every time his dick gets stung

The song "Dirty Laundry" is about WHAT? youtu.be/fwgJgTL5JmE?...

American journalists in 2036

Something that Trump will never experience is true love, both the giving and receiving of it. Joe Biden has that in spades with Jill and even more of it with his family. Biden will die being one of the wealthiest men and Trump an absolute pauper. And it drives Trump mad.

remember that one time a train derailed in Ohio and literally nobody died but it was a news story for like a full week and Pete Buttigieg had to personally answer for it?

I'm tired of hearing from this guy about fucking everything. I don't need to know what he thinks about the NCAA or Mueller's death or this.

The most insane thing is they spent a gazillion dollars on it and at no point did they back of napkin plot arc the trilogy

assuming any of us live through this next part, it might be a funny goof NOT to let the massive swaths of all three gov’t branches currently pretending this is all fine turn around and act like they were against any of this at all. change is as good as a rest, etc

If you’re now fighting to restore the status quo ante bellum in a war you began, you lost the war

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Enjoy the World Cup, visitors from around the world. I hope you don’t end up in El Salvador.

I heard there was a secret cord that David kept in his cable hoard but he can never find it when he needs it

Of course I'd rank other people over both. But fundamentally we need to kill the filibuster and replace Senate leadership, and Mills is not going to do either of those things, so 🤷

She made a single public statement in which she said she would not abolish the filibuster. He has made multiple statements in which he said he would. There's no way to come up with probabilities that doesn't put him above her when that's all the evidence you have.

I'm making the best decision I can with the information available. Filibuster reform is antecedent to everything else I care about, so I'm pretty much always going to support the candidate who I view as having the highest probability of abolishing the filibuster

I only partly agree with this? The checks and balances are totally adequate to constrain a president like Trump. The thing is that the other branches need to want to use them. That's what the system depended on: ambition countering ambition! And that's what's broken down

The thing is it wasn’t ever dependent on good faith; “if men were angels, no government would be necessary” and all that. But it was dependent on elected officials being individualistic and ambitious enough to wield the power that the system granted to them instead of ceding it to the demagogue.

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

I have said this before and will say it here: if, for God knows whatever reason, you have not seen this clip before, you may think you are ready for what occurs but you are not youtu.be/K2_SvX4PEbU?...

pov: you’re chuck norris arriving at the pearly gates

Wife just told me this one: What’s the difference between Iran and Vietnam? Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.

RIP Chuck Norris. youtu.be/lrzKT-dFUjE?...

You will never see a stronger argument against nominative determinism

"If you issue a coin with a portrait of a sitting president, it will send a message that the sitting president is a king," said Donald Scarinci, chair of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Council, which advises the Treasury on coin design

We must move forward, not backwards. Upward, not forward and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards a quagmire.
