Bernie would have won

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”

Skill issue. I’m easily constantly outraged

i sort of think part of the problem here is that accurately portraying american sentiment about this war would shred a lot of other assumptions about the second trump admin that much of the political press have been running with since the start

Just once I'd love for one of these MAGA dupes to admit the fault with getting duped by the lowest-rent con man of the century lies with them.

This has 100% happened. The DOGE boys have an unmonitored, unsecured Signal chat where they make their plans and openly exchange data that are completely illegal for them to have viewed, let alone exfiltrated.

The CW on Kennedy is that he's a smart man who pretends to be stupid. Maybe that's right. But if the senator thinks he's mocking Bier in this exchange, he's lacking some pretty basic self-awareness.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Nick Fuentes is an outspoken white nationalist who has railed about "organized Jewry," denied the Holocaust, praised Hitler, and promoted the racist "great replacement theory" that inspired several mass shootings, but to this College Republican, he's just a funny and thoughtful role model.

Idiot plot

I don’t understand republicans at all. DHS said they want to deport 1/3rd of the country and they say that calling this ethnic cleansing is hyperbolic.

This is the way a lot of us would like to think we would respond to hostile questions in a Congressional hearing, but its rare to see a witness just turn the tables on a Senator like this.

The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.

i am far less interested in why trump voters like rogan feel betrayed and far more interested in why they believed trump in the first place, given his previous presidency

Flashback to the 2024 Republican National Convention 👇🏽

Here's my Blooski statement that Sen. Kennedy calls hyperbolic. I will defend natural law until the day I die, Senator. People's rights come from their humanity, not their government. If ordered to act unethically, you should always refuse. Do Republicans now disagree?

18 Dems just voted *today* for Trump’s agenda. Does it make sense yet why they’re so unpopular?

That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them “weird” still has me miffed.

Happy Mario day!

The incredible thing is that anyone with eyes or ears can tell that mamdani clearly loves NYC so much. The idea that he "hates America" is just so on its face ridiculous that people claiming it look particularly pathetic.

The American right is heavily invested in the myth that progressives only oppose the war in Iran because we do not want freedom for Iranians

We must protect Mamdani at all costs

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”

90s Captain Ahab: Thar she blows. Thar she blows again.

the best analysis money can buy and they’re all getting circles run around them by “orange man bad”

holy shit

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

it is genuinely very funny how many big name/shop analysts have gone on tv in the last 24-48hr and been like "man we didn't think this administration would be so stupid" like, come on

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.) This is an atrocity.

If you bank with this company, just know that your money is in the hands of the absolute dumbest, most gullible people on the planet.

if you believed this you should be fired on the spot because you are one of the dumbest people alive

I want you toknow that proclamations like this come from the softest dude you will ever meet whose greatest challenge in life is waiting ten minutes in line at Merridee's

I don’t think Trump and his people are capable of engineering “distractions,” I think the mind-numbing chaos we see every day is straightforwardly the result of giving the dumbest, cruelest, most corrupt, most selfish people of a generation near-unmitigated power

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

me paying $30 in gas to buy imported things that have been hit with tariffs bc joe rogan is learning about politics at age 58

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense. People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

Most likely outcome is that asshole dies of old age and leaves everyone else to clean up his mess, capping an 80 year run of never experiencing consequences. Only in America baby!

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch www.theverge.com/podcast/8914...
