the angry base has been right and the savvy "calm down" caucus has been wrong every step of the way for the last 10 years

this is where I’m at it sounds like the mods are going to do this but they should walk the plank alone no cover from leadership, whatever deal goes through the House entirely on Republican votes, and they own the cave entirely

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

it’s very difficult at this point to figure out if there is actual movement towards a Dem cave or just a Republican whisper campaign to Axios to make it seem like there’s a Dem cave and I’m going to hold my fire on any of it until something actually happens (or not)

WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING

Lolol thirty bucks

lol she got his ass and he knows it

all of the calls for "moderating on trans issues" are just an excuse to launder the author's own bigotry into the political sphere do the right thing and tell them to go to hell, support trans rights

"Every mystery we solve brings me closer to the realization that the only monsters in this world are pathetic old men trying to steal as much money as they can."

I'm pretty convinced the reason they won't leave him alone with Dems (aside from the stroke) is because it would be 1000% possible to convince him like this

the thing I love most about Star Wars is that it’s an incredibly fun imaginary sandbox to play in and even if the prequels were terrible movies the sandbox was still cool I have no interest whatsoever in the sandbox of the sequels

This is some good shit, uh oh Now I'm kinda wanting to go down that slide

I fucking heard this in his voice The fact that I even know his voice well enough to *do* that will haunt me to my grave

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

It gets better lol

Watched the Fantastic Four movie with the fiance bc we had heard good things, and like... yeah the first half had some interesting stuff and some of the better writing in recent Marvel stuff But the second half? Pretty hot garbage ngl

If you're a doomer after these past three weeks, you aren't paying attention

I hate to praise Chuck Schumer, but him publicly proposing a DOA offer after Tuesday's races was pretty clearly a sign that he (and Republicans) know who's being blamed for the shutdown. And now he has only strengthened Democratic messaging around that.

if you read the statements the fed unions and governors have sent out, they're all asking for bipartisan compromise, schumer can, in full honesty and good faith, go back to those groups and say that he has done exactly what they asked him to do

I'm a laan but if the way I'm seeing this is correct... Rs can't have the Senate pass anything other than the house CR bc any new compromise bill would require the house coming in to vote on it, & Johnson can't bring the house back without the Epstein file release vote happening Love that for them

GLONZO LIVES

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

God, Harry Enten has become such a clown since moving to CNN compared to how he used to act on like the 538 podcast Esp with someone there to egg him on, it feels like full-on dancing monkey territory

In my darker moments I wonder if this isn't the next ham-fisted plot to manufacture mass unrest, after anti-ICE protests have remained peaceful and No Kings didn't get unruly At which point they slap the big "Auto-Win" button that some in the admin (Miller) wrongly consider the Insurrection Act

Evangelicals:

"Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happe," I say, as I dump gasoline on my balls while crushing matchheads with a steel toed boot

It's genuinely wild how this government is operating on the Nicholas II Principle: so utterly convinced of their divine infallibility that they're making the wrong choice at just about every juncture, slouching towards the cool zone

Something about the A/V quality here seeming like it's from decades ago makes it feel... Idk, not more "real" than just regular-ass HD video, but... I don't know. Different in a meaningful way? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mälort Borg... coming soon to a gaming table near you. #TTRPG This is one critical hit you won't recover from.

I desperately want to know whether this is some sort of dramatic Victorian novel, or more of a "Dunston Checks In" type of situation

Honestly I've begun to realize that most media is consumed entirely without critique

There is at least one means of avoiding a contradiction there.

Eat Fresh, motherfuckers

@djinnandtonic.bsky.social with the bangers:

Aside from many in that one interaction that got Rick and Morty'd, this could be the single funniest sentence ever spoken out loud in a court of law (It probably isn't, Court Knowers would have a better idea than me, but it still may be my favorite)

Jury nullification in action.

great day for the legal theory of "not guilty if it's funny enough"

We gotta have some reason to tap the "Fascists get high on their own supply and lose the ability to make accurate risk assessments" sign at least every now and then They're just giving us tapping excuses, bless their hearts

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

That's the correct answer imo and has been more and more coast since the move to switch (or even as far back as 3DS if we're being honest) *Normal Rockwell Standing Guy Voice* POKEMON LOOK WORSE IN 3D AND ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL +GAMEFREAK CAN'T MAKE A GOOD GAME ON FRANCHISE-DICTATED TIMELINES

Fun trial run, I guess

Well... Reasonable people accepting "if conservatives are gonna force this zero-sum You or Us bullshit, we choose Us, and we'll grind Your fucking faces into the dirt" really is what seems to have them scared And, good. They ought to be scared of the consequences of their barbarism.

i really dont think these people are equipped to live in the world they built.
