Idk. Growing up on early aughts mmo culture you just assumed everything was a lie. Idk if ive ever trusted anything on the internet

It's fun to watch you idiots try to ratfuck democrats when you don't realize that everyone who cares about your shitty second rate journalism already knows you're a mouthpiece for the GOP.

DRUMS. DRUMS IN THE DEEP. THEY HAVE TAKEN THE GATE.

Date night ends quickly when the little planes have been up all night all the last two weeks because papa has been doing politics.

Fraid so. Being into dudes is obviously far more masculine and straight coded.

Fellas is loving a woman with everything you have gay?

That's pretty standard for cook.

I know we've all got a lot on our minds and the gusher of news doesn't stop for anybody, but.... Did you see where the President of Iran announced that the drought there is so bad that if they don't get any rain in the next two months they'll run out of water and *evacuate Tehran*?

IT IS DATE NIGHT TONIGHT AND POSTING CEASES SOON THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

the fact that he continues to post this I think means that his attempts to pressure senators is simply not working

Yeah, I'm generally on record that I think the time between November '26 and January '27 are probably the most fraught time of this entire thing, because there will be a hostile congress incoming and Trump is going to lose it.

3. To say that this is one of the most stunning turnarounds in U.S. diplomatic and counterterrorism history, I believe, is an understatement.

2. Just 11 months ago, the United States had a $10 million bounty on his head, which President Biden cancelled. Twenty years ago, he was held for years at the U.S. military facility at Camp Bucca after being captured by American forces in Iraq during the insurgency.

1. Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa just landed in the United States — the first time a Syrian president has visited the U.S., not part of the UNGA. He’ll be meeting with President Trump this week. And here he is playing basketball with the Commander of CENTCOM, Brad Cooper.

If you had, on your 2025 bingo card, that Bill Kristol would be writing "Eat the Rick" in a right adjacent magazine called The Bulwark, then man, take a bow I guess.

I apologize Comrade Kristol, I should have never doubted you.

*spittake*

The entire american economy is based on data centers cranking out non-consensual porn movies. Seems about right, honestly, we're on the stupid timeline after all.

One of the things that is really getting darkly funny is the fact that it really appears the only actually universally used parts of AI are making very creepy porn and disinformation. This should not be surprising, because.. well *waves hands at everything*, but I admit slight surprise.

We could even call it Trumpcare Mr. President, and they could ~all~ be gold plans.

I'm happy from a political standpoint watching Donald Trump and his party forced into debating health care. It's like watching a walrus do quantum physics

If DJT accidently falls into the public option as a policy proposal I'm going to die laughing.

We're.. getting rid of health insurance??

Remember, there is no greater posting victory than someone storming into your mentions, making an ass of themself, and then needling them until they block you instead.

Debate me, coward!

idk man you're the one having a loud disassociation with reality in the mentions of a cartoon airplane.

What are the names of the unicorns in the fantasy land you live in?

I'm working on a new system where a bank owns the land and houses, and the proud workers (we'll call them serfs) plow the manorlord's land to earn their homestead

Trying to think of a worse idea but I'm coming up short

For all the fact that these people are apparently paid to watch politics full time, they sure don't pay much attention. The whole SNAP thing is easy, and has nothing to do with some nefarious plot to never have elections again.

“This thing seems so stupid, they must have a very subtle evil reason for doing it” ma’am I get where you’re coming from but let me fill you in on the GOP of 2025

I mean I think the people who are still doomering about "there will never be elections, woe upon us all!" really need to sit their asses down and think for a second. 1.) Subverting elections becomes more administratively difficult and resource intensive the more there are happening at once.

Oh this is so dumb. Do you have the vaguest sense of how many troops this would take? They literally just tried targeting districts with election monitors and the district had massive turnout and an overwhelming flip to the Democrats.

I think there's a decent chance that Trump lived in a bubble created by the viziers where he was super popular and everyone loved him and Tuesday popped that bubble in a pretty serious way.

This doesn't sound like a party convinced there won't be elections. I know he's running for Governor, but still, these guys are shaken.

Yeah honestly the election caused me to swing from "they're really planning to never give up power" to "oh they're just really fucking dumb, huh"

Gotta say, this string of posting from Trump is pretty surprising. Dude is pretty clearly panicked. Tuesday really got to the R's, it looks like.

I don't think Trump quite understands how hard it is for the current GOP caucus to actually pass legislation in their own conference. A lot of stupid messaging bills becoming real if you nuke the fillibuster so dramatically changes the math.

I have a hard time with this train of thought because we, you know, literally just had elections.

For those confused by state of play on SNAP right now: You're not alone Yesterday, *before* SCOTUS paused order telling Trump admin to send out SNAP $$, a handful of states rushed to issue full SNAP benefits to at least part of their caseload. This includes CA, OR, WA, MI, and WI—all blue states (🧵)

When I think of how a dictator gets the military apparatus on their side, I think of someone who's making sure they can't eat.

My wife thought I washed her sourdough starter and she has obviously never been so close to being absolutey livid with the betrayal. Thankfully I didn't. I am not that dumb.

Has the Tesla diner closed yet

Interesting thought Mr. Graham, could I interest you in.. single payer??

Increased inflation from $350B in direct stimulus and higher premiums. Masterful gambit.

idk, getting the feeling that things are going to get profoundly cool zone if we head into Thanksgiving and there are 40 million people who don't have food.

Unhinged boomers shouting “no kings!” behind a thin veneer of LL Bean. They think it’s armor. It’s a trap. Their Subarus will not save them from the violent hordes, hands outstretched grasping for bread, your children’s virility, all collapsing into itself to a playlist of Springsteen hits.

One wonders if Trump has suddenly realized that the all stick presidency has kind of worked the GOP into a corner.

The fact that this man is in charge of the nukes is becoming more and more worrisome ngl

So Trump is losing his mind, cool cool cool.
