starting to think that being terminally online infects some people into becoming utterly unable to admit they might have been wrong about anything they posted online “keep posting through it” has become a desperate mantra

This is from 2017. Trump has been on the supply side of “birth tourism” as long as they’re rich and white.

Microsoft made over $100B in net profit last year. There is no financial need for this misery.

Tell this POS that Jesus wasn't white and watch his dumb racist head explode.

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

You're being put in danger thanks to Trump and Vance's cuts to the NWS and NOAA. Scientists warned that missing data and staff would leave emergency officials defenseless for severe weather — and they didn’t listen. Now, our nation is flying blind without the expertise.

this is like the literal opposite of true. the most fruitful eras of the modern democratic party coincided with periods where the walls separating political radicals from the mainstream were way less solid

Again, Republicans have never proven any of the fraud they're talking about. Not voter, medicare/medicaid, or welfare fraud. DOGE was a disaster that is getting millions killed. They didn't even bother to put together a report. Just lying while slashing and burning.

Significant parts of the New Deal were poached by Dems from Wisconsin Progressives, Milwaukee Sewer Socialists, MN Farmer-Laborites, but do go off, David.

The U.S. spent $103 billion in the first 120 days of Trump’s war on Iran. That could fund… -Food stamps for an entire year -Medicaid coverage for nearly 30 million children -ACA subsidies for about 2.5 years It’s not a question of what we can afford. It’s a question of priorities.

Yes, because Republicans are always satisfied when they get what they want and it never turns into a slippery slope of bad policy and fewer rights.

nothing should distract you from the fact that these people are very fucking bad at this. this sort of statement would’ve given a GOP strategist a coronary like five years ago. probably still does today. but the strategy is Trump now

Fun to do this with the Iran War/Strait of Hormuz AND the AI economy at the same time.

IMHO a lot of this is now a soft version of what has happened with Russia and Putin. The problem with "touch the stove" is that basic recognition of the sheer scale of Trump's screwups means a shattering of the assumptions needed to keep business as usual going. There's nowhere left to hide if

I feel like if you refuse to answer, that says it all and you should be forced to resign. Government officials shouldn't be having private communications or signing NDAs with private companies.

As a party, we Dems do not talk nearly enough about Republicans’ full embrace of Trump’s rampant criminality and profiting off the office because they want to commit the same crimes and profiting the same way themselves.

My god Rutte is insanely full of shit. I get that he has to play nice with a madman, but ffs dude stand up for NATO when he's sitting right next to you on one of his dementia rants. The debasement is pathetic.

Biden was decimated for a flub like this when he misidentified the nation a leader was from. And he didn't say it with this much confidence...or during an unhinged anti-NATO rant.

Pervert glasses should absolutely be banned. And in the meantime, it should be considered socially unacceptable both to buy them, and to work at Meta.

It’s getting trite but if this were Biden the NYT would have a full spread about his unfitness for office

Fox vs. PBS - How two networks covered how Trump made over $2 billion last year. Fox News called him the ultimate capitalist. PBS broke down where the income came from and said it was the most he'd ever made in his entire career.

prophetic

Donald Trump is a racist.

can someone explain how the ref is able to overturn a goal on review like that? how is that even reviewable? Egypt got hosed

Every single lawmaker that’s calling for their constituents to “be responsible with electricity usage” during the extreme heat had better be supporting heavy restrictions on data centers.

Harvard Law has a really bad track record of churning out absolute dipshits.

the now-decades-long saga of tubman on the $20 bill is a great, if somewhat unimportant and symbolic, example of the democrats' lack of ability to Just Do Stuff

As much as I hate to say it because it’s cheap webforum meta discourse, the strongest correlation to Platner support wasn’t ideology, it was if you still frequently use X, The Everything App. I would hope that would lead to some introspection about what remaining on there does to your judgement.

Dems have dumped Swalwell and platner Republicans have nominated Ken Paxton

Nothing about this piece is necessary. Aside from the author clearly not having read some of, say, Kruse's work this piece adds nothing to the discourse and is just factually wrong on so many levels. An editor should have turned it down or axed it after review.

It's not just a strange piece on the merits; it's also strange because TNR, for which I have written, allowed Katherine Kelaidis to write it without explaining that her own work promotes Orthodox Christianity and she herself uses her historical writing as ... wait for it ... political punditry.

Most of the time when a question is posed in a headline the answer is always no. But here? 100% yes, your creeper glasses have a surveillance problem.

The best edit I’ve seen in weeks, you absolutely have to turn the sound on for this one.

It’s a cult. This is what people in a cult sound like after leaving. But everything comes back to Fox and the right wing reality warping propaganda machine

there are very few jobs in the world where you can disappear for weeks without providing an explanation, and "member of congress" should not be one of them, imo

<clears throat> assuming the USMNT are the only international soccer team to benefit from FIFA corruption is yet another example of centering the imperialist American experience at the expense of the rest of the world. learn about FIFA's proud global history of shady dealings. do the work!

just openly admitting to crimes now, does he even know how fucking bad this is or looks? the most cartoonishly corrupt president ever, makes Nixon look like a saint

here's what you should know... Zorhan Mandami is a single mayor If your ideas are so great ... fight TF back get in the field! you got a plan to address housing affordability cost of daycare access to healthcare rising grocery prices GET THAT 💩 POPPING

Your reminder that every “news” piece about Tilly Norwood is a press release. The creator keeps saying stuff and the media keeps printing it with no other sourcing. None of it is real

That man never watched a day of soccer in his life

UPDATE: CNBC responds, says it only includes the disclosure of their financial relationship with Kalshi when it is "directly relevant to the story" These are examples of stories where CNBC determined it wasn't "relevant" to disclose that the company invests in Kalshi and gets paid for new customers

And by his own admission Satya Nadella has turned over a bunch of his responsibilities to AI bots. Which kinda further proves the point that anyone, even a robot that's wrong 40% of the time, can do a CEO's job.

My favorite part is…. He identifies the root cause for the need of “insurgent socialism” in the second paragraph and simply doesn’t return to the idea corporate exploitation www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

This is so unbelievably fucked up. This school is going to get bomb threats now. Has End Wokeness or Trump singled out kids wearing Rosaries or kippahs?

American right wingers have been calling everything they don't like 'communism' since they learned the word! we've got over a century of precedent on this. integration? communism. unions? communism. anti-war protests? communism. same as it ever was. I explored that a bit in an episode last summer.

Microsoft had a net income of nearly $102B in 2025.

Id take it further, I would argue that pain is the goal here. The more I think about it, the more I see the need to jail and institutionalize as a manifestation of the need to punish difference. The impulse to institutionalize disabled people overlaps and is born of the same anxiety/disgust/anger.

oh no i cant believe it but it looks like donald trump inserted himself into a story captivating the worlds attention, overshadowing a unifying event with overt corruption, in an attempt to seize attention and credit for himself

this is the official scooby doo account

This alone should be a decade-defining political scandal resulting in prison sentences.
