But somehow Trump not just breaking a promise but intentionally misrepresenting his entire extremist, revolutionary agenda to absolutely devastate and reconfigure US government is treated as, more or less, Trump Just Being Trump.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

Well, I guess this framing proves you are as worthless as Republicans say you are.

look we’re obviously going to bail out the farmers and I think there’s a reasonable case for doing it given that we’re doing the tariffs, since they are getting absolutely rocked by the tariffs. but this is an argument for not doing the stupid tariffs.

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

Saying that military should be deployed to US cities and also saying that the only purpose of the US military is to fight wars is quite a clear message when they are said together

I will say if that whole military meeting had been an email it would have been a pretty weird email

sorry pedo guy, you really did ask for it

This is amazing.

So Trump is just going to put farmers out of business and give them corporate welfare? While sending $20 billion to Argentina? This is the Golden Age?

I finally got around to reading the Comey indictment. They're leading with 1001. That's their BIG CHARGE. That's the thing people plead DOWN to. And that's the point of their spear. jfc this is a fucking clown show

Propping up Argentina while trying to destroy Brazil and killing Venezuelan fisherman for fun. This is something like everyone in the world is talking about while Americans struggle to figure out who pays tariffs. Not exactly rising to the moment here

Conservatives: "We need to trash USAID because it's irresponsible to pay NGO's to feed poor people or cure diseases!" Also Conservatives: "We need to give a blank check to this chainsaw swinging guy because he wrecked his economy!"

CHOTINER: It’s cool that you got to go to the Chocolate Factory. GRANDPA JOE: It was the thrill of a lifetime. CHOTINER: But before that, you hadn’t left your bed in years, even to help support your family? GRANDPA JOE: I don’t think that’s a fair way to frame it....can we go off the record here?

CHOTINER: So then you tried talking to Trump directly to negotiate, what happened? SCHUMER: Well, he refused to talk to us. But we need a bipartisan deal for the American people. CHOTINER: So more federal workers don't get fired? SCHUMER: That's right. CHOTINER: And how'd that work last time?

CHOTINER: Just once I wanted someone to interview *me* DOCTOR: Oh I know just the person, the interviewer Issac Chotiner is in town, I have his phone number right here CHOTINER: (sobbing) but doctor, I *am* Chotiner

2/2. Kirk and fellow extremist guests called for public beheadings to become sporting events, which children should watch: "At a certain age, it's an initiation.” Full context: www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

Editor’s Note | When we fire reporters for quoting Charlie Kirk, it’s not for political reasons. It’s because the text violates our policies on racism and inciting violence.

Maybe the NYT reporters that wrote several versions of the same "Harvards about to cave any minute now" story can write up a few "the NYT is about to cave any minute now" stories for a bit of balance

I have a theory - much like how if you live in New York City for long enough you become culturally Jewish in a way, if you hang out online for too long you end up culturally Philadelphian

Canada has initiated an electromagnetic attack on America. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

US President back-pedalling furiously after his administration treated some innocent hard-working Koreans like they were innocent hard-working Latinos.

I think you'll find that this isn't true.

WSJ when an American conservative gets killed versus when Arab children get killed:

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

the Democrats cannot make 20 year old women want to immediately get married and have three kids with you. It is not in their power

"Joe Biden is a bumbling, dementia-filled, Alzheimer's, corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and/or given the death penalty for his crimes against America." -Charlie Kirk (07/24/23)

Kirk never missed a chance to be stupid and evil about any subject.

Typical, isn’t it? You wait 14 years for a Labour Government and then none come along all at once.

Had Tyler Robinson shot up an elementary school instead and killed dozens of kids, Charlie Kirk, JD Vance and all their kind would have just shrugged and said that's just a way of life, price worthy paying for guns. How do we know? Because that's exactly what they did and said many times before.

Right winger gets murdered: he was the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived Right winger ends up being the murderer: he was also the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived

They really thought it was a trans woman. They wanted it to be a trans woman so bad. They made up details to leak to the press because they wanted it to be a trans woman. Turns out, it’s not.

Let me get this straight: Pulte‘s family committed mortgage fraud but Cook didn’t? And his family only got caught because Pulte falsely accused Cook? The writers have outdone themselves this season.

I'd say "there's still time to delete this" but there's not. Y'all started this bull shit with no evidence.

/5 But if I am willing to go anywhere and tell anyone that black people don't deserve to be where they are, that Jews are funding the destruction of America, and that gay people should be stoned, does that make me a hero? Seems like a low bar.

/4 The other thing is this: I don't particularly buy the notion that being willing to go anywhere and say shitty things to anyone makes you a hero. Does it make you better than someone willing to go anywhere to beat anyone up? Yeah I guess.

The aging, latent police reporter in me can't help put pause to remark on the unforced error of the SAC in Salt Lake's FBI field office making the unforced error of announcing they have recovered a “footwear impression.” A shout-out to toss or destroy those shoes, ASAP. That's a detail you keep.

The FBI must focus on finding who faked Donald Trump’s signature on the Epstein drawing. That’s why ICE must lead the manhunt in Utah.

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Everyone knows what they are trying to hide, so maybe more Dems should just plainly say what that is.

Donald Trump may have sent a sexually explicit message to an infamous pedophile. But at least he didn’t write the message with an autopen.

Inspired by President Trump, I gathered the Prof G Media team for a constructive, objective cabinet meeting to discuss the year so far.

The tech oligarchs at this event are the weak men in the “weak men create hard times…” meme

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

“blueskyism” is where someone gets fed up with taking relentless abuse and harassment during their free time so chooses to spend it somewhere else

The country is so poorly run we can’t receive packages from overseas anymore, and I’m not sure it makes the top 10 of the administration’s dumbest, unforced errors

I like how the defense here is that trump is a snitch for the deep state who didn’t provide any helpful evidence to bring down a notorious pedophile
