The idea that Trump knows what >any< of his bills actually do is less plausible than the old comedy bits with George W. Bush quoting Latin poetry at dinner parties and solving intractible problems in theoretical physics, or Reagan planning out the fine details of Iran-Contra like Gus Fring.

Yes, but the protest sign-up that drove Imani to kick off this discourse is the same "comes with a trial subscription to MSNBC, all your mom's friends will be there and then they're going to the Hamilton road production after" type of protest that Cooper is talking about.

Humiliating that the sleazeballs who scam our base look at the metrics and decide that the more effective play is emails like "Tears in our eyes!!! Katie Porter just DESTROYED Citizens United!!! Sign the petition [hyperlink to donation page that discloses T&C in 3pt font]!!!!!" instead of this.

No. 1) Under Vermont law the interim appointment serves 6 months or until an interim election, most likely folded into the 2008 general. Peter Welch or Howard Dean wins the special and filibuster math is same as OTL....

Oh no, will NYT and WaPo reporters no longer be able to collect huge advances for stories about Trump committing crimes, endangering the country, or just being horrible, that they've been sitting on for 30 months? Better do another book about Joe Biden misremembering a baseball score from 1953.

Yes, but this isn't being done by those people and their cool friends, so it's bad. Not that these people actually want to make a Project 2029, they just want to bitch about "someone" not doing it and handing it to them and their cool friends to present.

I spent a chunk of my 20s working in an independent book store. One afternoon a woman came in, took this book off the window display, wrote something on the inside, and left it on the counter and walked out. My boss picked it up, looked at the signature and said "Oh shit, that was Teri Hatcher."

I wasted too much time in the late 2010s arguing with people who believed Bill Clinton invented neoliberalism from whole cloth in 1990 solely to chase donations from mustache-twirling capitalists because everyone who remembers this is at least pushing 60.

So scarred by black people not liking his primary candidate that he's still grinding his teeth and pissing his pants about it 6 years later. 👇👇👇

every time Elon suffers my health replenishes like Link in a fairy fountain

It's a good start, at least.

Here's the first @bluestein.bsky.social video that X blocked (with the last few seconds trimmed off). Audience member: "[Congress] controls the budget, not the president. And you are doing us a disservice to set that down and not stand up for us!"

oh hell yeah

Again they literally banned the phrase 'Free Palestine' within minutes of Trump taking the oath of office. Why do you think it is that TikTok was promoting that phrase in their algorithm during the election but is censoring it now that Trump is in office. Tell me what you think their goal was.

Look, if you need it stated plainly, TikTok was in favor of allowing this content when it hurt Joe Biden, and not anymore now that it will hurt Donald Trump. I don’t give a shit about your first amendment justifications, this app is not your fucking friend and never was.

Feel like I can't be crazy seeing parallels here to horseshoe notions that the 1950s were a golden age when one "could buy a house and support a family on one income." Children of the 20th percentile believing old sitcoms and advertising/Chinese .000001%er influencers are representative.

In the end the only Democrat to suffer a meaningful electoral consequence for failing to oppose the Iraq War from the start was Hillary Clinton. Even Joe Lieberman nearly got a second VP nomination out of it for his support.

"Getting a lot of Boss Baby vibes from this..." There is a good point to be made here about Dems currently being directionless in oppositon but this take gets everything about the Iraq War era fractally wrong.

I'm still processing former "Green Party legislator". They're allowed to run for offices besides President?

Your evidence for this being that you, a guy who hates Democrats, had fun with it for a day.
