And even if we were “always the bad guys”, does that mean we just give up and surrender the whole thing to MAGA because what’s the point of trying to be better?

Grok, is this what winning looks like?

Mental health break

People rarely actually grapple with the fact that most *defenses* of Trump are also massive indictments of him demonstrating he should not be President.

i think people are maybe reading “netanyahu is responsible for this” into both the story and commentary on it, and while i think he’s an important factor i don’t think he is the most decisive factor. responsibility first and foremost lies with trump, *then* all of the advisors who failed to stop him

Gee, I wonder if anything might have happened since 2022 to cause this.

It’s true, guys, Jared Leto is behind the ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh.

This skeet works best if you read “I am a communist” in a Ralph Wiggum voice.

the guys walking around in shoes that don’t fit are not gonna do a 25th Amendment

Yeah, you don’t want to get within a mile of that slippery slope where you end up with Tucker Carlson blaming the Jews for this.

finally, free speech and academic freedom have returned www.statnews.com/2026/04/07/b...

weird juxtaposition where people in power and influence are saying absolutely heinous, deadly things without any restraint of conscience, and everyone reacting to it is having to bite their tongue and speak in euphemisms not to get banned or arrested or whatever

The matter-of-fact way she asks what investors should do if Trump destroys Iran. Absolutely wild. "Let's talk about tonight, this deadline that President Trump has set 8 p.m., has threatened to destroy a civilization. How does an investor process that? Is it a bigger upside risk or downside risk?"

TIL letting Kayne West perform would end Israel’s war on Gaza. I wish Biden had known this One Weird Trick.

Just an outline drawn in crayon saying “you can’t prosecute Republicans.”

At this point, I think Axios should be looked into for possible insider market manipulation….

days like today i get incandescent with rage all over again that he wasn't in cuffs and an orange jumpsuit and perp walked on jan 21st, 2021

Not sure I have a point here, just tossing this out there. And remember, Saddam Hussein started that war. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Sure, I spent the '80s watching action movies that were mostly military revenge fantasies about the Middle East. But then I went to college and spent the '90s watching movies mostly about Tehran schoolgirls trying to accomplish various simple tasks. The Iranian New Wave would fix a lot of people.

I assume every morning the NYT editors wake up with a deep, resigned sigh, and then commute in for their morning task of "trimming all the crazy parts out of the president's tweets so he sounds more like a normal leader"

Every one of these people looks like someone you’d see walking around Brooklyn (of course Trump and his minions hate Brooklyn too).

You know what? I'll admit it. The credible threat by a madman to wipe out a nation of 90 million people for basically no reason (presumably using nuclear weapons) successfully distracted me. I am now distracted.

In addition, I definitely want the kind of people who booed Bobby Abreu, Donovan McNabb, and Claude Giroux to show the regime the same kind of mercy.

In the Christian world you get to choose between two flavors of idolatrous nationalism

The most normal headline in 2026

Remember when DHS agents had no choice but to shoot two Venezuelan men because the men had attacked them with a snow shovel and a broomstick? New video shows they were lying about that one, too. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...

Ackman tweeted out his slide deck (are you meant to do that?)

Imagine being a moderate Republican and getting outflanked on decency, morality, and basic humanity by these four nutters

McConnell saw Trump with complete clarity but suggested he was someone else’s problem. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

In two weeks the national press corps is going to laugh at his jokes and applaud him at their annual Hilton dinner for being a fun and interesting president to write about

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

I’ve read that upon hearing Ceaușescu was dead, a lot of Romanians refused to believe it at first, that he was finally gone from their lives. I’m expecting a similar thing here, that we won’t initially believe he’s gone, that we won’t ever have to think about the horror he is again.

For once, she’s right.

This can’t be true. I’ve been told that supply doesn’t work. Developers and landlords in San Diego must be less greedy than in other places, like Los Angeles

Just remember kids, we’re here because people lost their minds over a black man being elected president and the Detroit Tigers having a Pride Night.

Aside from everything else, has anyone seen a cityscape photo from that era? You couldn’t see the downtown skyline from the Williamsburg Bridge because of the horrendous air pollution.

Russian ultranationalists also involved with guys like BAP and the Western alt-right? Wow, I'm shocked, I never could have predicted that

vance doubles down on his munich 2025 speech: interference in european sovereignty via alignment with anti-democratic, racist parties.

Good morning! 🪶

Remember, Trump didn't just campaign on "no new wars." He also framed his antiwar routine as an attack on the entire warmongering foreign policy establishment. Yet he's enriching it in a major way. People who bought the Donald the Dove line are suckers and chumps.

It will always be awkward to share a name and org with tankies. But some things are easier. Open borders is a totes normal thing for DSA socialists to stand for (despite Bernie Sanders), as are wealth taxes, universal childcare, and universal healthcare, all awkward positions for normie Dems.

The opposition party is currently being led by People Magazine’s headline writers. people.com/trump-ramble...

this post doesn't matter to me because I can't read and i'm honestly at my information limits. i'm not gonna go look this up and try to understand it. so fuck it, we ball. and by ball I mean wake up and continue my existence as normal in the morning until I'm told to do otherwise

as an American Jew, I do not believe that the world in which America is no longer safe for me because of my identity could ever include an Israel that would be

Grifter apps tend to have big security issues. See also: the Flat Earth Dave's app that had massive security problems. Also for folks with a prostate, cumming 3x a week (or more) drastically lowers your chances of getting prostate cancer, so this is technically a pro-cancer app.

I think it's that A. we allowed the media to portray the Nazis as Machiavellian evil geniuses rather than methed-up audacious failsons, and B. Believing in an evil master plan is still believing in a plan, which is less scary than being at the rudderless mercy of methed-up audacious failsons 2.0.

absolutely hate to hand it to matty but he’s right, even if he probably should have followed the thought of “hmm the takes industrial complex keeps yelling at educated women to get married even though they arent the problem, wonder why” to its obvious conclusion

I should probably just mute any mention of the guy because he’s completely irrelevant outside of the poasting wars here.

Fascinating to hear house owners continue to claim, in a majority-renter city, that residences for renters do not belong in "residential areas" because those renters will destroy "the character of our neighborhoods." (They also don't want people without yards to live near parks.) It's 1991 for them.
