I want these reactionary American Catholics to just become Protestants.

Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

It's basically my view that if Merrick Garland indicted Trump within the first month after January 6th, SCOTUS wouldn't have had the balls to rule in Trump's favor (just like they rejected countless BS lawsuits to overturn the election results). The shock had long worn off after 3 years.

It's true but to me "the voters" are farther down on the responsibility scale. At the top are the elites who failed to understand the danger, the necessity for accountability, and kinda just hoped this would all go away. In a healthy political system he'd never be allowed to run again

I mean, yeah. TNT's coverage was awful for years, & WAAAAAAAY MORE people have subscriptions to Peacock, Amazon Prime, & ESPN than they do TNT

Lesson 1: "Fuck to Turk! Bulgaria number 1!"

Part of me thinks Democrats should get back to the tactics that made LBJ effective at campaigning: Campaign against your opponent with in ways that constantly put them on the back foot. Embrace pig fucker politics—make the sons of bitches running against you deny heinous things

Tonight on Peacock: Wolves 'n Heat...play each other in basketball

and the blame is too diffuse to be meaningful. blaming the voters is like blaming the aether. even if it's "right" are you going to do some alchemy about it?

We have not voted for a Republican since 1972 (longer than any state in the union). We're the only ones who weren't fooled by Reagan (also DC, who is cool too).

It would be funny if Trump posted "Charlie Brown had hoes" on Truth Social. We'd get to see whether or not MAGA would take that idea as dogma, straight from the mouth of the infallible leader

So...Parker Malloy getting dogpiled was one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen on any social media site. I'm not going to speak to the other people who deactivated on Sunday, as there seems to be no consensus on exactly what happened, but Parker did nothing wrong, & people are insane

Rand Paul being better on foreign policy than 90% of Democrats really sucks, especially when you consider he's probably the most annoying dude in the senate, save for Ted Cruz

Rad. Remember how you all slow walked his impeachment so that you even lost the squishy Republicans ready to be done with him? Dang, sure hope that didn’t have any erosion of norms that allowed that guy to be president again.

The guy has a hobby: almost dying

Real reason she probably jumped on my shoulder: I was the only male in the room, & as I've found out in the 2.5 years since, she's very scared of women

Here is the day I found my cat at work. We found her in a pile of pigments (we later named her "Pigments). She was very dirty. Anyway, she jumped right on my shoulder, & I had a cat, whether I wanted one or not.

By age 35, you should know whether or not the boys are back in town By age 45, you should be one of the boys who are back in town

this is what i mean when i say the problem is not nearly as complex as "we need a liberal fox news." its democrats doing the basic work of communicating the things theyre already doing.

example of the problem. i like @raskin.house.gov. he and the judiciary dems produced a report yesterday compiling how trump pardoning jan 6 crooks has led to a new crime wave. raskin has not posted about his own report on his bluesky account. this is basic communications.

Hell fucking yeah, Kluwe! We need something similar in Minnesota

Anyone patrolling ICE needs to do a careful risk assessment. Can you handle a night in jail? Can you face legal charges? I don’t want to discourage anyone from doing the work, but you’re better off taking inventory of risk now.

Belt to Ass 2028

I was fortunate that the indoctrination really didn't take but I still recognize the thought patterns, and yes to all this, and you see it a lot online. People who can't tell the difference between "I don't like this" or "this makes me uncomfortable" and "this is Ontologically Evil"

My dad a day after 1/6 was rattled, borderline horrified. Two weeks later he was asking me how I could get so worked up about a walking tour of the U.S. Capitol. Propaganda works!

Completely psychotic Turning down free money from the federal government so that kids get food during the summer

January 2029:

No disrespect to Scott (and read his story) but there's a mismatch here. The facts of Jan. 6 aren't contested by most people. They are contested by Republicans/Trump, who run the place, and have decided to enforce a line that one in five Americans agree with. www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-an...

Retirement plan: Step 1. Find a member of a European royal family who looks exactly like me. Step 2. [REDACTED] Step 3. I have always been a member of this royal family

Is there a charismatic leftist US Air Force Colonel out there who wants to save us all from this bullshit? Because today would be a very funny day for that to happen

You read a thread and think "ok, sure, that's an argument but, whatever" and then you remember that a significant part of the right wing project is taking arguments just like that and laundering them through their machine until SCOTUS uses them as a justification for whatever they want to do so 🤷‍♂️

“Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado will be cut off from around $7 billion in funding for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash assistance to households with children, according to two people familiar with the matter.” Monstrously cruel.

5 years ago, I was unemployed and looking at my phone in horror. Today, I am employed and looking at my phone in horror.

Remember when a guy lost an election and then spent months making wild, baseless claims that it was stolen, leveraging the personality cult he’d built to try to get people to reject the results? And then thousands of his supporters rioted, injuring hundreds of cops? Whatever happened to that guy?

Fraud was the excuse: this is the real goal, revealed - reduce safety net funding, but only in blue states.

How many calories would it be if I ate the sun?

My mom was explaining the weight watchers point system to me, & I was like, "don't foods already come with points written on the back? You know...calories?"

Chuck Schumer rejecting out of hand the one point of leverage he has, the one that was actually working really well last year until he caved, is the most Chuck Schumer he can be. spectrumlocalnews.com/mo/st-louis/...

grim to consider what, say, Mexico could do to the US if they seriously came to believe this was the case

in a strange way, this does make me want to watch CBS News more

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Why won't the mods help me after I spil my jice?

"The issues" are not immutable. Americans do not come out of the womb arguing about trans girls in Division III volleyball. The issues are what you make them. The issues are what you're loudest about. Create the conversation around these murderers' war crimes, don't equivocate, and don't let up.

ok cmon guys all i did was click the link you gave me

if i were the so-called paper of record i would simply not spil my jice

There’s some transitive property problem going on here where Dems have internalized “people only care about kitchen table issues” to the point where any non-kitchen table issue is deemed a distraction
