“illegal” is what people from other countries are. According to ICE enforcement, if someone else is breaking the law, there is nothing illegal about taking measures to stop them

you know what's cool is all these emails coming out is like the modern equivalent of dragging jeffrey epstein's body through the streets of rome behind a chariot or whatever

"This woke Me-Too bullshit has gone too far," said the former Harvard President and Secretary of the U.S. Treasury to the billionaire pedophile sex trafficker in a private email that the Justice Department under both parties kept secret for years

It would be funny if he truth social’d “chat am I cooked”

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

I cannot tell you how long I’ve been waiting for the return of Matthew Calamari

well here’s a hell of a thread

Is THAT how you spell “coherent”?

Here’s a gift link (no paywall) to the article, “Catholic bishops condemn ‘indiscriminate mass deportation’ in rare statement”: wapo.st/448fDw6

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

All the Epstein emails are like On Tue, November 21, 2017 at 8:16 AM, Larry Summers wrote: Have you seen the latest news? Get the popcorn ready… On Tue, November 21, 2017 at 8:18 AM, jeffrey E. <[email protected]> wrote: Pop cofn taste good .

Is there a single surprising name in the Epstein files? So far, it just seems like a series of revelations that people we knew were awful people are in fact awful people.

I’m starting to think Epstein’s predilection for underage girls is mostly because he has the capability of complex concepts of an 8th grader

This is disgusting. Why do the old white men get off on torturing women?

can anyone here remember a time before the Senate is where all the serious people land and the House is the crazy people place

you slept on Divine Styler in the day, do not make the same mistake again

please please please let someone pull a Zoe Kazan/Face in the Crowd douchesplanation right now

Filmmaking is an inherently autistic profession. You take what are essentially the blueprints for assembly in a factory and use them to emotionally manipulate people.

I truly love some of Edgar Wright’s movies but he’s increasingly becoming like going to see your friend’s band and having to come up with nice things to say. “You guys were really having fun up there!”

did you really think they’d let another Pussy Riot just happen?

Welcome to Club 2016

just think of this when you remember laughing at the people telling you we were all gonna end up in camps

They’re gonna end up killing a kid, I keep saying it but it’s bound to happen if this shit doesn’t stop

Chip’s mostly mad he didn’t get in on the ground floor on the Great Glass Corruption Elevator. If only he’d just been a little further in the tank

whenever this Starbucks ad comes on, I just imagine instead of “500 Miles” it’s “Cap in Hand”, as much an anthem of personal independence from one’s presumptive masters as it is specifically about Scottish independence from England youtu.be/SdXeM4bHBhk?...

they are able to peel back the ACA because its a shitty half measure but if we had gotten real universal healthcare instead no one would dare touch it because literally everybody on all sides would flip out. one more reason why Democratic incrementalism and "pragmatism" is fucking stupid !!!!!

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Feels pretty crazy being on the exact same page as Republicans in this regard.

If I got clowned by Oates of all people I would simply walk into the sea

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

NZ is going nuts with making music history preservation moves and I hope the rest of the world can get anywhere close to doing it this well

Uncanny

And just as a rising tone will change in character and take on harmonics as it rises, so again, this emotionless emotion seemed to rise to an unbearable if unheard scream and suddenly seemed to be a scream of guilt and failure.

holy shit he’s just fully gaslighting us now

it’s super fucked up that in some professions the only way you can express your opinion about literally anything is to relinquish any authority to actually DO literally anything

this is the most on the nose shit I think I’ve ever seen

Beyond policy considerations and electoral politics, Tuesday provided a lot of people with a brief spark of hope that maybe our democracy is not already dead, and Democrats immediately capitulating to anti-democracy forces for no discernible benefit is a great way to extinguish that spark.

Google is a Seinfeld fan apparently

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

I fucking swear to god who is JUST NOW figuring this out

@annabower.bsky.social is the Roller Coaster Tycoon of American politics

that Google ad that ends with Tal Bachman’s “She So High” playing over concert footage of James Blunt is a perfect example of how broken Google is now. Real Phish_GinAndJuice.mp3 vibe

when my father was in late-stage dementia, we reluctantly and sadly moved him into a veterans’ care facility. One of the first things they did was take a picture of him that they put up outside of his room so he’d theoretically know where to go. It didn’t help all that much but it comforted us.

“These are just not serious human beings.” — a person unironically named J. Hogan Gidley

make this the new “debate me” meme

wait Prunella Scales died too? fuck. Sybil Fawlty was the blueprint for the exasperated sitcom wife

hey dum-dums, “ending the filibuster” means passing this cruel, shitty, historically damaging legislation as-is without good faith debate or reasonable democratic process. It would signal a fair amount of confidence that Republicans will never again relinquish control of the government

what the shit?

we were all watching Trump so apparently we missed the HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH exit-stage-lefting out of the room like fucking Snagglepuss
