Swift boating worked because democrats did the “we won’t dignify this with a response” thing and looked to the mainstream media to debunk it. It’s one of the dumbest things the party has ever done and it’s still how they operate today.

oh you're hanging out with friends again?? ok well.. enjoy your echo chamber. i will be out with my enemies having a productive and intellectually enriching night of angrily stating and restating our standpoints on today's most important issues

YOU ain't for everybody. The sooner you realize that, the happier you'll be. But I guess y'all should already know that

Out of all the things that didn't happen, this didn't happen the most.

Vaccines aren’t controversial. You’re just a fucking idiot.

It’s that Nazis will latch onto any issue that enables them to weaken trust in impersonal democratic institutions so as to create a culture conducive to their personalist, authoritarian rule.

It's incredible that this man's vocabulary consists of somewhere between 6 to 8 of the same fucking sentences vomited out to every situation and our braindead neighbors said hell yeah let's do that again.

Dawg, @pablo.show and the Pablo Torre Finds Out team really did that shit and won a Pulitzer. Big congrats to them 🫡

Listen to Dr. Taber. Farmers aren’t poor stupid hicks, they are largely rich landowners with inherited wealth who vote exactly like you would expect rich landowners with inherited wealth to vote.

When they go low, we go high is a perfect example. Republicans have played a steady long game and when Trump came along he was putty in their hands. Finally they had the ideological distraction they needed. The fact he was a criminal was the missing piece. A means to the end.

These guys are picking the pockets of their White (and non-White) supporters while telling them they are losing out to Black people, Muslims, and immigrants of color. All this scamming. All this defrauding.

Just so we’re clear: The Supreme Court claims anti-Black racism is over in order to allow racist state legislators to engineer the largest removal of Black Congresspersons in history. The Supreme Court is returning the United States to Jim Crow by claiming Jim Crow won’t return.

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

Jimmy Kimmel has outdone himself this time! This pharmaceutical ad about Felon47 is hilarious! 👏👏👏👏👏😂👏👏👏👏👏 #ReZyne #JimmyKimmel

It costs US military $1 to $3Billion a day inflicting death & destruction in Iran President Eisenhower:"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies...a theft from those who hunger & are not fed, those who are cold & are not clothed." www.edchange.org/multicultura...

I’m fucking horrified that folk 100s of years from now are going to refer to this period as the Trumpian Age or some shit and I’m gonna be lumped in with all the dumb extremist dicks. Solidarity with dead people from the 19th century who thought empire was for arseholes and now get called Victorians

those loser Dems tried to fix the system but were outdone by those savvy Republicans note how this framing completely erases any sense of Republican agency from the equation

Here is an idea, let's give corporations a tax cut, billionaires a tax cut, charge consumers a tariff that will be refunded to corporations. I am sure that is going to decrease debt. A total 🤡 show

(WSJ) - The U.S. national debt now exceeds 100% of gross domestic product, crossing a once-unthinkable threshold, on the way toward breaking the record set in the wake of World War II. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-...

How are they still publishing this shit

1,001 days left until 1/20/2029

Wanting a Wal-Mart, specifically, is a red flag. Want a Costco like an adult and decent member of society.

I saw a tiktok wanting to know why NYC doesn't have a Wal-Mart and wishing NYC had a Wal-Mart and it's like babe, NYC FOUGHT to keep Wal-Mart out because it would have absolutely destroyed the labor market. Do kids these days not know Wal-Mart has predatory labor practices?

GOP - *gerrymanders* DEMS - hey stop that no fair GOP - *gerrymanders even more* DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely* DEMS - *start gerrymandering* GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

CONTRAST: In 1975, I bought my first house -- 2 Bdrm, 1½ Bath, 1-step sunken Living Room -- and owned it for 34 years & with 60ft of yard space. Just NE of downtown L.A. on the TOP of a "hill." $39,000

I stumbled across this the other day. Don’t know who did it but props to them, it really helps you keep track of a fluid situation in the Strait! isthestraitofhormuzopen.com

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

I love him and his media delivery. Hope the democrats are taking notes. Love how the Mayor Zohran handles these interviews and how forthright he continues to be… #pinks

It really has to be “if it don’t apply, let it fly”. If you know YOU doing all you can and you’re trying to make the men around you better and hold them accountable, it is what it is.

At Pentagon worship service today, Pete Hegseth again read a violent prayer to bless the Iran war. But this time his prayer was apparently borrowed from 'Pulp Fiction.' I promise I'm not writing for @theonion.com now: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

I'm old enough to remember that the Archbishop of San Francisco denied communion to Nancy Pelosi, and she wasn't beefing with THE ENTIRE APPARATUS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Every 'inspiring! this dad sold feet pics to pay for his daughter's wheelchair' story comes back to this. (Also, sidebar, Doordash and their ilk are horrifically exploitative models for workers that offer shit pay and force people to hustle for tips, WHICH THEY OFTEN STEAL FROM THEIR WORKERS.)

A new report from the University of California shows that the state's decision to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20/hr didn’t hurt jobs, or raise prices much. Data from over 2,000 restaurants shows that the $20/hr minimum wage didn’t reduce employment. /1

A note for the US midterms: I will point out today that many Hungarians who will have voted for Magyar's party were not in love with him, know his many flaws, and are not all 100% satisfied. But in the face of Orban's party, the voters were enthusiastic for the better, if not perfect, choice.

By the late 1800s, 'pontificate' was also being used derisively for lay individuals who spoke as if they had the authority of a member of the clergy. One might consider this sense of 'pontificate' to be the spiritual forerunner of 'mansplain.'

Average GOP Congressman: We err...uhhh...don't uh need uh...oversight of the DoD because uh...we trust the President to decide what's best Donald Trump: I AM JESUS CHRIST RETURNED TO EARTH THE POPE ISN'T MAGA AND HE'S WEAK ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS I AM GOING TO BUILD A HOTEL ON THE MOON

BREAKING: DOJ investigates the Hungarian electorate for Mortgage Fraud

This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.

GHALIBAF: "So I'm not really sure what our objectives are here because our leader is in a coma and maybe has brain damage so it's all just scheming viziers, y'know?" VANCE: "You're not gonna believe this."

Look what so many Americans so stupidly threw away. At some point, people need to realize that it is ALWAYS Democrats that save this country and Republicans who ruin it.

JD Vance after the first full day of work in his adult life: Well, that's enough for me!

I am here for messaging that the THREAT alone - regardless of if it's carried out or walked back - should end his presidency. The die is already cast. You cannot wield the power that man has and say that kind of shit.

A reminder that the Heritage Foundation architected Project 2025 with Viktor Orbán in mind. Kevin Roberts called modern Hungary “the model” for conservative statecraft. Far-right authoritarianism is a globally collaborative movement.

If he asks me to jump, I would say, "How high?" If he asks me to fuck a sheep, I would say, "How hard?" If he asks me to eat the head of a rabid, writhing woodpecker, it would be like my birthday all over again.
