OBAMA’S DEAL WITH IRAN WAS AN ACTUAL DEAL AND DIDN’T COST ANYTHING

This is your sometime reminder that anti-vaxx is a luxury belief that is contingent on enough of one's neighbors being vaccinated.

Oh that's a good one!

Though, to be fair, being a Republican is reason enough.

The message of the Right reacting to Virginia is the same as the message of "2020 was rigged": no victory by anyone but us is ever legitimate. We are the only ones allowed to win. These people are cartoon villains entitled to no respect and no trust. Rabid dogs.

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

There’s some striking similarities between Führerprinzip and unitary executive theory in that they are the same

They believe they are the only authentic Americans. Everyone else is visiting. So when anyone else tries to limit their power, they react as if a foreign entity were stealing their sovereignty. It's stupid and evil and often illegal -- and far FAR too many liberals choose to play along with it.

There’s a moment when studying American history when you realize that with less than a handful of exceptions the Presidency has been filled with criminals, grifters, moral deviants, and mediocrities, and the fairly recent development of treating the office like a king is a nation-shattering tragedy.

here is the thing about vote scolding: it doesn't work my personal position is that the right thing to do is to vote and - because the republican party is so completely world-destroyingly insane - to vote for the democrats but you simply cannot change minds on this by scolding people

The real conservative objection to VA redistricting is pure Wilhoit: you have to obey laws & proper procedure & we don't. They can't just out and say that in public though, at least not yet, so they are desperately flailing about for some kind of cover argument.

The obvious solution is a national law that mandates fair, objective redistricting everywhere, but *conservatives do not want that*. To be subject to the same rules as everyone else -- as all the lesser people -- is inherently offensive to them. (All I ever do is restate Wilhoit.)

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump. None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.

“Maximum warfare, everywhere, all of the time.” deeds > words

No. This a Nazi burying his uniform as Berlin falls ... and carefully remembering where he left it.

For someone who said… “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” Why is he still talking about the 2020 election?! Asking for a friend

For anyone questioning why we're in a war with Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu is allowed in the situation room, and Donald Trump isn’t. That should answer the question.

What, exactly, do you think that RFK Jr. means by "cleaning up the risk pool?"

If Trump is gone before I wake, I pray to God the news ain't fake...

" ... then we'll both have to go to the hospital. You for your life-threatening injuries, and me to get my foot out of your motherfucking ass."

I would have paid good money to see that. On repeat. I want to live in a world where AOC tuned up RFK Jr. so bad that he wound up in intensive care.

"Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a God, but never without belief in a devil." -- Eric Hoffer, "The True Believer" (1951), Part 3, Section 65

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

I tried to do an impression of RFK Jr. once. I failed. It sounded more like what I expect a person sounds like when they're trying to scream when their throat's been cut.

one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus

The next administration must make clear that any immigrant, refugee, or asylum seeker wrongly deported, exiled, or otherwise mistreated by this administration will be readmitted with an expedited path to citizenship. Send a plane to get them. We can't undo the damage. But we can do something.

I feel like not enough reviewers know they had to remake the entire final third of the Michael Jackson movie because it falsely exonerated him, and it turned out the kid’s lawyer foresaw that shit in the 1990s and made sure to include a clause that the estate could never ever do that on film.

surely no army in military history has ever been laid low by disease, a famously uncommon problem among people living in enforced close quarters

the art of war: “you - yes, you, dipshit - need to feed your men and make sure they don’t get sick. no you are not exempt on the basis of being a very special boy. oh my god, why am I surrounded by idiots.”

We fucking warned y’all that this was the goddamned end goal for those smart glasses.

“It’s Always the Ones You Most Suspect” part the eleventy-seventh

RFK Jr no longer disguising his MAHA movement for what it really is: eugenics

Yeah

Also: 1) Vaccines are important to military readiness. A sick army can't fight. 2) No major denominations forbid flu vaccines. They don't even involve fetal cells. 3) If individual autonomy is super essential to you, perhaps a military career isn't ideal. Think uniforms.

He's DEFINITELY gonna do Trump's bidding www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

Wondering why government officials keep breaking the law and getting away with it? The Epstein class is quite wealthy and people like money. Hope that clears things up for you.

I don’t necessarily think that it’s useful for serious political figures to endeavor to fully dissolve — as opposed to regulate and constrain — corporate entities, but I’d make an exception for Palantir. It cannot coexist with liberal democracy and it openly says so

Can't sleep. Clowns will eat me.

Tech CEOs suggest AI job losses could be offset by Universal Basic Income, which they will violently oppose thebeaverton.com/2025/11/tech...

The currently escalating tech backlash must be put in the context of: “people have been listening to the most insufferable techbros in the world gleefully threaten everyone else with mass unemployment for over 6 years, and they’re sick of their shit”

i think it goes under-analyzed the extent to which tech bros and finance bros effectively merged around the start of the 2020s and, as a result, a lot of the tech industry has muscled out actual tech—or even technical knowledge—in favor of wall street douches, but with silicon valley flavoring

If by "commonsense guardrails" you mean "tear out, root and branch," then you're on the right track. If you mean anything else, you're just regurgitating focus-tested feel-good-look-busy performative bullshit and should just resign and let someone who wants the job do the job.
