50 year mortgage is so crazy. to put it in perspective, 2016 was 50 years ago

Mamdani is going to implement Shania law. Man! he feels like a mayor

She smiles and says "I will always love you."

The ability to convince capital markets to hand you a trillion dollars on the strength of obvious bullshit paired with the inability to get a single human to sincerely and spontaneously say they love you is some real punishment of the gods shit.

“We don’t need any Black people on staff, we’re good.”

to paraphrase the Hero of Canton, the only thing “liquid” I see here is this puddle of piss trying to hold up SNAP

this isn't ten dimensional chess, fed workers are genuinely hurting, bad, social security is on the brink of collapse, SNAP funding *will* run out, schumer's whole entire job here is to keep the coalition onsides, and you can't do that by making unreasonable demands that are easy to reject

i don't think we are sufficiently imagining how fucked up the contents of those files could possibly be.

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

::movie trailer voice:: They said he was retired, but Bill Kristol has one more regime to change...

did women ruin the workplace

squawking "it's the structural conditions" is ego-saving copout. napoleon and most other great and terrible historical figures leveraged structural conditions. we simply just don't want to acknowledge someone like this was capable of making our lives hell through sheer force of will

It’s such a relief to know that while everyone else is abandoning their principles, Ben Shapiro will remain as anti-Tucker as he deems safe and no more pro-Fuentes than he finds necessary

2.) They don't have a message on costs other than "We already fixed those." I don't think you need me to tell you why this won't work, at all, when a bunch of people just voted your asses out because you aren't doing anything about costs.

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

[to the tune of tenth avenue freezeout]

I strenuously object to the term “bluekkake” and I urge you all never to even read the word

I’ll just note that CJ Roberts says plainly that a tariff is an imposition of a tax *on Americans*. It gives Trump the sads when he hears this but that’s what it is.

baseball head dude is under the impression you have to show ID to buy gasoline, because baseball head dude is a moron

SPANBERGER: “tonight the people chose pragmatism over partisanship” MAMDANI: “you will call on the mountains to fall upon you and hide you from our righteous wrath, and the mountains will scorn your pleas”

Feel like I should put together a glossary. The following phrases invariably mean that my post contains irony: * "Mr. Trump" * "X the Everything Site" ...

sent Cuomo on his way with a hearty “sei gesund and don’t let the door hit you where Allah the All-Merciful split you”

“Remain in the room: Thune, Britt, Cotton.”

Oh, hey, it's me, and yes, this is how we feel.

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

That was a hell of speech—as local as it comes yet a national gauntlet from someone who can’t run for president. Mamdani is saying New York will show others the way.

CNN not loving Mamdani rn and I am sure he is gonna be really broken up about that

He might, but note that his immediate reaction was “Republicans lost because I wasn’t running and because of the shutdown.” He doesn’t fight, he comes up with excuses for why he shouldn’t care.

[Exit Clown.]

Is this a prediction? Is this wishcasting? Why not both?

so has that guy seen enough yet

WHICH MESSAGE WILL RESONATE WITH VIRGINIA VOTERS MIYARES: "whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, we all want safe communities" JONES: [THIS POST WAS DELETED BY THE MODERATORS]

We are all going to have to get used to Democrats telling these voters “Nobody could have expected this, Trump lied to you” It’s BS but it will be necessary BS

Normies gave Trump credit for being good on the economy because (a) Things were pretty all right in 2019, (b) Republicans are the business party, and (c) Trump has been famous as Rich Businessguy since the 80s. BOY has he been trying to change their minds.

BOB has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

😢❤️

I'm going to have a different Cheney perspective than most of my followers, but where we likely can agree is this: In a party chock full of cowards, Dick Cheney was not one of them.

This is more or less where I am. Would I vote Mamdani in normal times? No. Would I support him over fascists and their throne-sniffing toadies? Fucking absolutely. Nobody stopped Freddie Oversteegen to ask if she was a socialist when she was luring Nazis into the woods and killing them.

fanfic writers when a character dies in canon

God willing we’re less than a week away from the Daily News headline “WINSOME LOSES SOME”

I doubt Sliwa passes Cuomo. I think there will be last-minute panic among certain people that will drive that down. But make no mistake, the wind is at Mamdani's back.

In central Staten Island you will get solid Sliwa. Those people are Italian but many of them, most, would rather swim to Connecticut than vote for Cuomo.

There’s no political future for Cuomo except in going full MAGA, and because he is a venal scumbag who is impervious to shame, I expect that is what he will do.

Elon points to a bright future, up at an angle, with his whole hand, palm downwards

when zohran is mayor, everyone will be allowed to add one syllable to any word of their choice that's socialism baby

“Married life is full of challenges” *taps sign*

I know Mike Johnson had ambitions once. Ambitions beyond "Have 'Speaker of the House' be in the first sentence of my obit." I hope it's killing him that his entire job now is keeping Congress closed and pretending he has never watched the news.
