I encourage you to push this talking point, buddy

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition? JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back R: Why not now? J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

I know we're all used to the president talking like Livia Soprano all the time, but this is a goddamn outrage

The "40-50 feral hogs" guy might be the most vindicated person on the internet.

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

I know everyone has moved on But according to new CNU Virginia poll Spanberger is up +13% on handling trans issue It is top of mind for only 3% of voters After GOP spent 2 months and millions pushing message Perhaps why they have shifted focus in recent days…

"Sometimes people like to share their culture, sometimes people want to keep things for themselves, try to be respectful of what other people want and assume that other people are trying the same."

I agree a lot with this and it gets to an older understanding of liberalism I've mentioned before. It is more primal and "no kings" is actually a great slogan for it. The problem is "a king can do whatever he wants to you."

One thing about American's widespread distrust and disapproval of the Supreme Court is that mainstream news coverage mostly doesn't dwell on stuff like standing, so people don't even begin to grasp how rigged the Court truly is www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Don't be afraid of this. Do expect extremely stupid shit to happen as a result.

It's black letter, can't get more explicit, printed in US code you ignoramus. 31 U.S. Code § 1341 (c)(2) *JOHNSON: SOME LEGAL ANAYLYSTS DON'T BELIEVE IN SHUTDOWN BACKPAY

“A federal team in El Paso that once pursued child traffickers has been disbanded. “A task force in Kansas focused on stemming fentanyl has been redirected. “Highway checkpoints near the border—on roads identified as major drug-trafficking routes—have gone unstaffed” 🎁 www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

In our - very limited - historical experience of democracy, (i) states rot from the centre-right (ii) and it's contagious (via geography/powerful exemplar states)

Do you even hear yourselves?

Actual resident of Washington, DC: the only time there’s been a serious crime near my current residence was DURING the occupation (an elderly lady was carjacked in the quiet and normally very safe alley behind my house). I am not happy with that outcome.

One thing to take from this is that legacy media’s attempts to win back GOP audiences have utterly failed. If those attempts have also eroded trust among Dems and Independents, then they’re a massive own-goal.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The lion in winter

Trump take pasta

Cuomo, with zero integrity, tried to make a deal with Trump & Adams… that’s all you need to know. We can survive bad policies. We can’t survive bad people.

well that’s fucking horrible

The third amendment once again proving it's worth.

I reiterate: every single person, regardless of the year they were born, has to make a conscious effort not to shit on the following generations the moment they realize they themselves are approaching middle age or older. It’s not just boomers and X that are susceptible.

This is a man confronting his own mortality and some teeny tiny portion of what's inside is telling him he doesn't measure up. And I love that for him.

President Miller is all in on the #KavanaughStop (racial profiling) anchored immigration policy of the Trump regime.

shout out to DoD folks who love to quote carl and then get EXTREMELY pissy when the dice show up in a wargame

You treat them like bullies in reality and don't back down. Unfortunately that could lead to Years of Lead in America, but at the same time the alternative is giving them the win, and sincerely, fuck that.

“…we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” Kevin Roberts president, Heritage Foundation, July 2024

Yes, it’s a call to arms. But he also understands it’s not at all likely to work and is panicking.

Ten years and five months apart

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will!

Yeah DHS has got to be repealed and replaced, which would actually be a great opportunity for some wider restructuring of American domestic security infra

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

my in-laws were genuinely shocked that I, an English person, could not simply come and work in the United States at will.

The media trots out the "deplorable" comment from a decade ago to castigate the left. Once a week now Trump implies that the military should destroy democrats, and it is just how things are.

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!” “Let me introduce you to our frog.”

Video taken one hour ago outside the Portland ICE facility of the violent insurrectionists in question

Donald what the fuck are you talking about

Also in Trump's speech, this may just be me, but he comes off as desperate to get applause but all of his material is stale or too obscure for people to really grasp, like even feels like he's losing his mojo. He's definitely been falling apart and should be on TV more to illustrate that fact.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

Virgin Teuton (muh warrior culture, cannot go anywhere without servants, can be defeated with big stick) versus Chad Lithuanian Peasant (last pagan in Europe, has never heard of chainmail, thinks Jews are cool because Yahweh reminds him of Perkūnas, has killed 293,139,104 Germans before lunch)

I'm most of all insulted by that worldview's lack of acknowledgement that for most of history it was us who were kicking their ass and not Russia.

Yes, how dare we exist.

The tech companies do this stuff because management assumes they are immune to stringent regulation and/or significant civil or criminal liability There is no formal legal barrier to those things

“Fuck your e pluribus unum” is one hell of a hell of a sentiment to be coming from the secretary of defense of, uh, the United States of America

twitter is owned by the largest individual donor of the 2024 cycle who gave about $300 million to Republican candidates, and people's families ARE being rounded up. none of his objections to these things he's imagining are on principle. they just believe they should be the ones doing it.

Here it is, my answer for every time I get asked "why don't (most) Dems just...[message better, be bolder, sound authentic...etc]" www.weekendreading.net/p/bringing-a...

YES

Explaining to my wife that I cannot simply “read the books I’ve already bought and haven’t read” like some kind of peasant.
