I didn't either. There needs to be some price for being spineless and crapping on your customers to push through a shitty merger.

I want major network news journalists to have a body language and voice monitor that uses AI to evaluate the tension that interviewees exhibit when they’re responding to questions. Imagine all the red alerts that would go off when interviewing any member or appointee of this administration.

Wow. I’m shocked that there was no one willing to step in and knee this man in the face for attacking this small, unarmed person. But thank goodness they all had their phones out. 🙄

1/ I feel like it’s time to pull together a new group for men. Starting with progressive Gen Xers who have watched anxiously as their “me generation” parents mostly shit the bed and let the 1% extract all the wealth while freezing wage growth and draining the coffers of Social Security.

This is a child who understands the message.

I hope the families of the victims sue this sack of waste in a human suit for inciting murder.

My son was 9 and we were still wearing masks in public places. He was given an assignment to draw himself in black and white pen on red paper. Notice the use of light and dark to define shapes, the hair, and the plaid fabric of the mask. He was 9.

By this fucked up rationale Bin Laden and Jack the Ripper weren’t treated fairly by the lamestream media. Can we please impose a basic IQ test and require zero felonies for any person to have access to the mfing nuclear codes?

This is the way

The Dotard also said that the Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny are next.

Whatever it takes to distract the base from his refusal to allow Bondi to release the Epstein files with evidence of his multiple child rapes

You have to wonder: is cancelling safe and effective vaccines actually part of the right’s strategy to combat “replacement” of whites? Because you know damn well that every GOP MOC and their families are fully vaccinated including the heroin addict and non medical professional himself, RFK Jr.

Why are most dictators also idiots? Viktor Orban: “We have 0 illegal aliens.” Same post, two seconds later: “We apprehended 16,000 illegal migrants.” You have a multiple of 16,000 illegal aliens. And your economy is probably partly dependent on their exploitation.

Data is the new oil. We regulate the crap out of oil companies. Regulate data and everything that organizations do with it.

This breakdown is 🔥 The debate on which side uses political violence as a weapon is over. The receipts are here, and they all point right. PS: Only one side has been threatening civil war, and it isn’t the left.

Love NM for various reasons. Watch as the state’s GDP measurably rises as parents return to work and/or increase their earnings due to higher availability.

I am looking for perspectives beyond Blueskyers condemning all who voted for Trump. I think there are millions who were on the cusp but were pulled toward Trump or away from Harris. I suspect those voters are most disillusioned, reachable, and open to reason. Getting them is key to depolarization.

Since #BrianKilmeade believes that the homeless and mental ill should be euthanized, I invite him to demonstrate on himself first. Fox just loves them white supremacists.

Banksy has a digital rival

This has you-know-who’s signature all over it. It even looks like his signature

There is indeed a case of taxation without representation. The president and Congress do not act in the best interest of average citizens. They act in the interest of a few wealthy people and large corporations. Or certain foreign dictators. Rome took centuries to die. I give us 20 years.

It’s for geniuses like this who blame “the government” for all their problems that we even have Trump. The overwhelming majority of public servants are good people under intense scrutiny working with shoestring budgets. It’s Congress and the Executive branch where the problem lies.

I can’t top this. I dare you to try.

I didn’t know it but now I need a baby donkey 😂💗

This

There is no insurrection or massive wave of crime in Chicago. Sending federal troops into a city simply to spite a political opponent and threaten an opposing demographic is grounds for impeachment. This is a high crime against the people. We need to hang on for this next round. Then impeach.

I have an even simpler take. Corporations, institutions, religions, the military all exist to serve people. Not the opposite.

We are NOT powerless. Proud of these Dem governors right now. Speaking out loudly, en masse, non violently, draws attention and it works. It worked for Gandhi. It worked for King. It worked for Vietnam. Boycotts also work. Use your wallet to hit them where it hurts most.

1/There’s historical precedent for liberals allowing so-called conservatives - in reality, authoritarians - to walk all over them and force a deal with the devil. In 1787 the framers of the current Constitution were wrestling with a weak union. The northern states generally needed raw materials.

Paranoia strikes deep Into your life it will creep It starts when you’re always afraid You step out of line, the men come and take you away I think it’s time we stop, children What’s that sound? Everybody look what’s going down

Civic involvement is something that my educators emphasized often. You just shouldn’t graduate high school without understanding how elections work, how bills become law, the balance of power, the rule of law, etc. Otherwise, hateful damaged assholes like Miller and Hegseth can take over.

Hits nail on head. Also: reminder when bootlickers said “don’t raise the minimum wage or they’ll automate all the low wage jobs?” We still have a $7.25 minimum wage. They automate anyway. Quarterly earnings before people. Listen to the people with the hammers and the nails, not the megaphones.

Cut footage: donut, coffee, and Call of Duty team deathmatch round at the end of the rigorous Meal Team 6 “obstacle course”

MAGA: Build the wall Average IQ people: Have you heard of ladders? Tunnels? MAGA: Paint the wall Average IQ people: Again, ladders? Drive right up, throw up the hooks, start climbing? MAGA: Electrify the wall Average IQ people: Blankets. Oh Jesus, do you think these people are dumb as cattle?

Cleanse the zone with fire. MAGA and Fox Noise too stupid to realize they’re being co-opted masterfully.

History done correctly is an opportunity for learning, not to masturbate our sense of jingoism and exceptionalism. It is not supposed to make you FEEL GOOD, you festering sack of intestinal blockages. But you wouldn’t know that because you paid other children to do your homework and take your tests.

Well done. No notes. Describes my high school years to a T.

This will backfire. The Convict might get some red states to drink the orange koolaid and disenfranchise their own voters at the risk of lawsuits. But no blue state will recognize this as law. The result will be either a wash or a net loss of elderly, disabled & blue collar votes in red states.

“Well this is clearly due to drag queens reading kids books at public libraries, restricting children’s work hours, giving women the right to vote, and taking the Bible out of schools.”

It’s estimated that if we responsibly allocated all resources on the planet, it’s feasible to provide enough food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, and education to every person. It would be hard. But we just need to decide that this is the objective and stop equating the right to exist with greed.

Daddy, what did you do at work today? Well, honey, I welcomed a literal war criminal to our country. A man who kidnaps babies and bombs civilians to try to control access to all their fossil fuels. Why? The orange man says they’re our friends.

Generally if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, flies to private islands on the other duck’s jet, is accused of statutory duck by multiple women, and is well documented as being close friends with two ducks…

That was like months ago. I replaced the Soros statue with Hillary. Also, take a dump in the cat litter after my am coffee

Louder for the rich white kids who blew off history class and inherited grandpa’s money.

The most frequently recurring mistake I have made in my life is being afraid to risk discomfort or rejection for the sake of loving and helping other people. And for the sake of learning and growing. I still screw up, but I blame no one for my choices. And I gratefully share credit for the wins.

Luis Guzman has been typecast in movies for so many decades as the impish gangster. But I thoroughly enjoy his recurring role a Gomez Addams and it just suits him. He gets to be a loving husband and proud father, and he relishes the over the top script. It was made for him.
