“AIPAC” is just “Soros”, but leftishly.

I can think of a compromise that would make everyone happy.

Many people are saying Trump is the best president at losing wars.

Lisa demuth had already destroyed any respectable legacy for herself in order to lose to Amy klobuchar, now it turns out she’s done that in order to lose to Mike Lindell

What did Dr. Oz know about the diarrhea lettuce and when did he know it?

Of the three teams remaining, there are very good reasons to cheer against all of them and few reasons to cheer for them; I guess it would be funniest to make Trump give the trophy to the Spaniards, so that's something.

Sen. Ossoff: Did Trump pardon a convicted narcotrafficker? Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton: Yes.

Move MN-GOV from Safe Dem to Mortal Lock Dem

1. The DNC does not prosecute anyone, that's the job of the Justice Department and state government. 2. Trump was facing three different felony cases and had been convicted on 34 counts in a fourth case. The American people re-elected him anyhow. That is not the fault of the DNC or anyone but us.

It's not often you can credibly accuse the president, the White House, and the Treasury of conspiracy to counterfeit.

"Who won the 2020 election?" is the sort of question you ask people to ascertain if their brain is functioning. Failure to answer is akin to being unable to address questions like "can you remember your name?" and "what year is it?"

OSSOFF: Who won the 2020 election? CLAYTON: Uhm, you know, I'm not going to do this with you O: This is a job interview. You have an obligation to be honest with the committee. Who won the 2020 election? C: I'm not gonna get into that with you O: You're not being honest or forthright C: ...

Counterpoint: Any rule that doesn't have exceptions is not going to survive contact with reality.

AKlo is going to win no matter what, but I'd like Lindell on the ticket because I want to see her take 75% of the vote.

A thing I don't think young people realize is that a) the Simpsons was quite controversial when it was first on the air and b) there was a legit national scandal around Bart using the word "sucks" in an early episode as being too vulgar for broadcast TV.

Oh, one other thing - "it takes 1000 years for the habits of mind supporting democracy to develop" is pretty funny when you rewind back to 1026 and check out what was going on with all the various peoples who now populate our modern democracies

This is correct. Character isn't the only factor that matters, but it is a factor that matters, and we should expect better character from our public officials than "Probably would be acquitted if this went to trial."

Adam Carolla admitting to rape is the least surprising thing I've ever seen.

If you're gloating about being right all along about Graham Platner, you will like this article. If "leftists" like Matt Stoller hadn't framed him as a way to purge the Democrats of women in power, MAGA wouldn't be seeing an opportunity in this. www.salon.com/2026/07/15/m...

Looks like Jeanine Pirro is headed for bar disciplinary proceedings over her repeated false statements smearing an Olympic athlete and accusing him of doing things he obviously didn't do. The evidence she is offering acquits him. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

low info voters are constantly being convinced that Republicans have more moderate policies (and Democrats more left wing policies) than they actually do and the mainstream media is a huge accomplice in this effort.

you know i gotta say it really does steam my clams when someone cites a report "showing" that 44% of americans work at low wage jobs, only for it to turn out that the report simply defines low wage to mean "earns 2/3 of median income"

The movie side of twitter is having a total mental breakdown because a film critic used the word "lugubrious" to describe the Odyssey, and I think that's beautiful.

"Father says" Dating myself here but I remember when the paper of record had investigative journalists who could verify basic facts as well as most high school journalism interns, instead of hedging the shit out of anything they say that might contradict the ruling regime.

SpaceX investors have swung from celebration to apparent concern in its first month as a publicly traded company. 🧪 🔭 🚀

Feels like a lot of words to say SpaceX screwed the market?

Sometimes I feel like a man in some lost Twilight Zone episode, running around shouting “DON’T YOU SEE? DON’T YOU FOOLS SEE? YOU WERE HERE BEFORE! YOU LIVED THIS ALL BEFORE! ONLY MONTHS AGO! CAN’T YOU REMEMBER??” in a mid-century accent, while they look at me with uncomprehending faces

🚨SpaceX bond yields rocket towards junk www.ft.com/content/3a02...

An incredible euphemism here for “the government is doing illegal discrimination”

It's actually quite wild how many things leftists claim to care about that Harris was on the correct side of. And how willing they were to lie about that fact.

The danger here is that if AES loses you just demonstrated that even in Michigan, people support AIPAC. (That's not actually why he'd lose, and indeed basically everyone hates AIPAC, but that becomes the message).

What do you think he means?

I'm sorry, if you can't look at Biden's economic policy in a vacuum and say "this was good and it pissed off the rich and that's why Elon spent 44 billion dollars on Twitter and specifically drove Gaza as a wedge issue and FUCKING BRIBED PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR TRUMP" you're completely owned by Capital.

Honestly I'm more horrified by the lack of political consciousness. The revisionism of Biden-era policy by donning Gaza blinders to what amounted to a massive shift in material conditions in favor of the American working class and the marginalized poor means a failure to see the elite revolt.

The fact that the left broadly isn't telling the story, or outright denies it by just wrapping up the Biden era as homogeneously right-wing policy, of the capitalist elite stabbing our nation in the gut rather than offer dignity to the worker is a damning account of how we became ruled by fascists.

This is the kind of insight that could turn you into a more humble public servant or a nihilist, and I think we know which option Graham chose.

people are mad about the 8am sunrises because they're losing their daylight shaving time

This is on twitter, in response to Sirota insulting Stevens as "stilted and robotic"

Incredible.

This is an unalloyed great thing, and all the naysayers are wrong

"We'll just inflate it away like how MMT argued we should do it." How long did MMT survive on contact with the fact that voters will sacrifice their children to Baal to limit inflation?

Once again, with feeling: any leftism which doesn't account for the fact that America collects fully 30% less taxes than the average OECD country is doomed to fail. And no, you can't just get it all from billionaires. Adopt @jdcmedlock.bsky.social thought or die.

instant classic, down to him concluding "It is literally a civil war" after a woman tells him she doesn't date MAGA Republicans. I'm assuming he wasn't a professor of English.

If you cringed at this, you should have shut up and Pokémon gone to the polls.

My natural sleep cycle is 3:30 AM to Noon, I will.

“McConnell did more effective obstruction when he was majority leader than Schumer is doing as minority leader” is a very common response to this and like yes, he did
