Rooting for the Dodgers because I'm from LA County, yes, but also because I'm evil and them winning the World Series again is the evil result.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

I don't want politicians to "talk normally", I like when my elected leaders sound more intelligent and calculated in their words than I do. I would be terrified if I could see myself in a political leader. I want them to be smarter than me, that's their job as a leader.

The only thing powerful enough to defeat Trump the first time was liberalism and guess what, we're gonna do it again, so you guys had best get used to it now.

I just noticed that George W. Bush's cousin is running for governor in Maine. Yeah, that's what American politics needed. Definitely.

Donald- So I just admit that I was wrong and I get to go into heaven? Jesus- Yes my child. I paid the price for your sins when I died on the cross Donald- But I have to admit I was wrong? Jesus- Yes my child. Donald- I like messiahs who weren't crucified.

...to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question incapacity to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness; cautious plotting a justifiable means of self-defense. The advocate of extreme measures was always trustworthy; his opponent a man to be suspected."

Thucydides eat your heart out: "Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal supporter; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held...

That's right, the social media manager for the Onion is posting Nazi memes on main!

Reminder that Cenk and TYT kept him on payroll after calling a black person a house slave

"Are you the same person who was telling people not to vote?" 💥☠️

Frankly, I think people are too fucking quick to view being goddamn polite as a sign of weakness or insincerity. Conflating crassness and vulgarity with honesty and strength is what kicked off the dumbass shitshow we’re stuck in.

Chat is it normal for the eighty year old President whose face is half paralyzed, can't climb stairs, and is constantly suffering from necrosis in his hands to be perpetually talking about the afterlife.

Trump straight up murdering people in the Caribbean and the NYT writes this

As a general rule, I dislike strict mind control in narratives because it basically causes someone to cease being an actual character. Brainwashing, gaslighting, etc. far more interesting than the remote control switch.

This is the magic recipe of the American electorate for the 21st century so far. Roughly speaking 30% of voters are committed R, 30% are committed D, 30% are swing voters who can actually be persuaded one way or the other, and 10% are fucking random number generators.

Kamala Harris: "The Supreme Court made the decision that the president would be immune from any of his conduct while in office. So we went into the election with this individual, Donald Trump, knowing that he would essentially be immune from any consequence for misbehavior while in office."

This added years to my life.

Listen idk if it's going to break through at all, but if I were the media and the literal POPE was lecturing me for being a lying piece of shit, I may look in the mirror for a moment.

Maine, the choice is between the mega popular former governor and the guy who admires Mr. J6 Fistpump. I know this will be a hard one for you guys but I have confidence you'll choose wisely.

I thought that the Pritzker hype was frankly too early and pretty much exclusive to this website. (In polling for 2028 he's effectively a nonentity.) And even I think it's incredibly silly how he was chucked into the trash like last week's present from mommy and daddy because his power has limits.

Some of these people have now been fired and rehired TWICE since January. The current state of dysfunction is mind boggling.

Somebody my mom knows only just now discovered via my mom that ICE isn't only arresting cartel members and drug dealers, and I don't know how other than one on one conversations we're supposed to break through a right wing propaganda ecosystem that keeps people completely disconnected from reality.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

My contribution to the WW2 discourse is that pissing on the memory of the war as a fight against fascism is undermining the antibodies of the body politic against Trump. You are literally the RFK Jr. of ideology.

I've been hesitant to voice it because I really don't want to come off like one of those "psh, you still think the midterms will happen?" doomers. Yes, elections will happen, and thanks to thermostatic politics we're most likely going to do very well in them. I think we win the White House in 2028.

People here are extremely unhappy that Dem leaders have so clearly been beating the GOP at every turn during this and are desperately trying to wishcast things into a position where the opposite is true so they don’t have to question their priors

CNN deserves to fail

Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

We will hold every last ICE agent accountable.

America voted to make it 2020 again.

this is a good point, the last time Platner was politically active, before he decided to run for the Senate, was 20 years ago when he protested the Iraq War, before joining the military to go fight the Iraq War, when asked why he said "I wanted to play soldier. I might have read too much Hemingway"

that tweet train of "Vaxxed?" is gonna hit like crack

You could not convince me in a million years that this had anything whatsoever to do with the shutdown. RFK wanted these guys gone because he worships death.

Those are three people in inflatable frog suits.

Prediction: Katie Porter is banking on “name recognition” but she isn’t going to be elected governor of California. 1/2

this man's name is written in the book of life

I would be more annoyed with people giving Trump credit over Biden on Gaza on main if we didn't already do this in January its just everyone fucking forgot

HELL YEAH JEFFRIES!

Thank you Thune for making it clear what priority number one should be for us when we win back the majority.

Holy crap. Not to mention…Bernie is 7 years older than Mills and has already filed to run for another 6-year term in 2030.

i wonder how much the existence of Zohran Mamdani is keeping a bunch of the worst idiots in the world from glomming on to JB Pritzker as their parasocial fave, clearing his path to just being nobly pissed off in the correct directions without his name getting associated with exhausting blowhards

the only thing that matters - and this is extremely obvious - is displaying Dominance over the Democratic Party, showing Boring Mom and/or My Bitch Wife who's the boss around here you don't have to actually win against the Republicans because, well, i'll let you fill in this part given the premise

"the Schumerification of it all" fuck ALL the way off, turn around, dance a little jig, and then fuck off some more so many of you don't even have any idea what the fuck you sound like or, worse, you DO know

TO ALL FEDERAL WORKERS: if you were illegally fired today and have information of wrongdoing or abuse of power by the Trump Administration, our whistleblower tip line is open. We want to hear from you. All whistleblowers are federally protected.

current elements got big mad that Roy Cooper and Sherrod Brown were running, but they also couldn't find anyone real to run against them so their tantrums burned out in Maine they had not only agism but also sexism working for them and they just picked "some guy" to rally behind

Reading more of What Happened over my lunch break, hitting the part where Clinton references author J.D. Vance about how a culture of grievance, victimhood, and scapegoating has taken root in Appalachia. Had to pause and stare at the ceiling for a moment.

Basically, the situation is that smart Americans rigged the entire world to prevent dumb Americans from tasting the fruits of their own incompetence, but didn’t count on the masses voting to eat the turd apple.

The collaborator class seems serenely confident that the Trumpenreich will last a thousand years while the House GOP is in complete meltdown. Look, I’m not *promising* comedy gold by any means, but the possibility is there.
