maybe 2% of this place is even aware any of this happened, in part because they've outsourced their senate knowledge to a former social media intern for Tina Smith who now lives in Australia

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

I say this dead seriously: people like internet hippo here genuinely get scared when Trump and his people fuck up too bad, because they know people might realize "holy fuck this is awful, the Democrats were right!!", so they double down on Dem bashing to keep people from having those epiphanies.

"I have declared myself the base, yet Democrats insist on catering to African American women instead of me. This justifies my continued refusal to vote for Democrats."

Very real chance that the Rep coalition is in the middle of being shattered to bits over a heroically strong Minneapolis. Elected Dems are doing a good job of pressing their advantage. And a not insubstantial corner of this website is pretending it’s not happening because posting mad feels good.

Christ, this (from Lizza's latest) is pretty fucking damning of...literally the entire media(?) What the fuck?

fell for it again award

This says it all.

It's really funny that Darth Vader just has a bunch of buttons on his chest. I bet it feels great to press them and watch him lose oxygen or whatever

I’d never really experienced it much before but holy shit now I know what people mean when they say the Young Republicans has a domestic violence problem

Always surprised someone in Blink182 knew the word "commiserating".

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

I'm going to say it plainly: Vote scolding is good, vote shaming is good. You should be reminded that the choices you make have consequences especially if those consequences are dire. If you don't like people pointing out what your decisions lead to, try making good decisions.

I'm begging for feminists to add an ounce of goblin mode to their politics.

i genuinely think the media is the problem. if we had a functional. rational media landscape. fewer people would’ve invented a trump in their heads that they liked

we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying

The actual "worse than watergate" scandal is how much news media collectively worked to ratfuck a Democratic presidency by largely inventing health/mental acuity concerns for hyperventilate about while largely ignoring the very real & worsening issues in front of their faces from Trump

Future iteration of a screen time warning that I need

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg

Wikipedia editors found out the hard way years ago already that the former reputation of @rollingstone.com for decent non-cultural reporting is a thing of the past. Articles such as this are now officially unwelcome as a source, by unanimous community consensus: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped...

they really never change, do they.

its moments like this, where you can tell who hates Trump with everything in their heart and soul, and who really wishes they could trick Orange Daddy around to being on their side tee-hee-hee wouldn't that be great. I don't want Trump to do anything, I want him in prison.

So much of internet-leftism is "what if WE had a fascist personality cult?"

From Olivia Nuzzi's piece in 2024 about Joe Biden. Hm. Interesting.

A COUPLE OF EMAILS IS NOT A WHOLE NEWS STORY SAYS A FORMER NYT REPORTER I CANNOT RIGHT NOW MAN, I AM CRASHING THE FUCK OUT. LOOK AT HOW STUPID THESE ASSHOLES THINK YOU ARE! THEY THINK WE ARE ALL TROGLODYTES!

I'm so fucking sick of everyone tangentially related to the NYT always responding to every obvious fuckup with main-character huffiness about how everything they ever did was 100% principled despite constant overwhelming evidence to the contrary! I shouldn't have to know any of your names!

All the "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" people are trying to argue a guy they didn't have to scratch is super not a fascist

People on the left just desperately want to believe Trump support isn't sincere/only motivated because Feckless Dems aren't saying the right thing at any given moment. If Dems are talking about it, it *must* be the wrong approach to take, no matter what it is.

The shitlibs were right about all of the 2016 Left's heroes, and no one from the 2016 Left has ever had a single moment of introspection about it

When Trump said "Russia, are you listening," he may have known for a fact that they were, not because Russia told him, but because Israel was spying on Russia and feeding the info to Trump.

Assisting the Republican Party in destroying aggressive fiscal policy for the rest of our lives because your empty mind contains nothing but hazy memes about the McDonald’s value menu and dim echoes of the five-dollar foot long jingle

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

Let me be clear: not just because of the nauseating hagiography, but also because of the underreporting of what happened at that Hyundai plant. The back-to-back of that is enraging. The media really showed how corrupt and rotten it's become.

Posting my twelfth "good times create weak men" meme right before I post several times about how terrified I am of public transit.

People who hate Democrats: “Democrats suck, they need to do something!” ::Gavin Newsom does something:: “Not him! He sucks! I meant only the 2-3 in the party people I like!”

reminder that for the political press the great scandal of the 2024 election was that harris didn’t give enough interviews

For the last 24 hours Twitter has been full of people mocking the everloving shit out of this “fantasy author” for trying to dunk on one of Hideo Kojima’s best creations: FAT MAN. If you’re wondering why everyone is making Orc City jokes, this is why:

At some point we have to accept that posts like these aren’t about what people believe is true, but what they wish to be true.

I don't want to overegg it, but I am already seeing some "Mamdani is a sellout" allegations from leftists allergic to success. Just like with AOC, these people want a performance of pure and noble martyrdom.

the NYC mayoral election might be an opportunity to reset some terms. the Cuomo faction are not “liberals” but “centrists”. the Lander faction are “liberals” the Mamdani faction are “leftists” if you’re mad at centrists but complaining about liberals you are mostly pissing on the wrong people

No one is madder Zohran won than the podcast tankies

like I keep saying, whatever it is that happened proves whatever it is I believed about whatever it is we're talking about was always right.

Dems on the horrible trans athlete bill House Yes 2 No 202 Senate Yes 0 No 47 Dem filibuster killed to bill The Nat’l Dem party wasn’t involved in the NYC mayoral election I don’t even know what the racism bit is supposed to mean This is a bunch of anti-Dem Party bullshit

Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.

I think I just cracked it. People are mad about Dems voting to table a pre-doomed impeachment resolution because they think, ultimately, that the real purpose of government is to Post So Good The Other Guy Deactivates.

Grateful to Joe Biden for ending one of the forever wars in Afghanistan. Still frustrated with those in society and the political system who don't reward politicians for ending wars that have outlived their usefulness, creating a strong political incentive never to end them.

Never forget that the irrevocable decline in Biden's popularity really started when Biden taking away the media's beloved war in Afghanistan produced an enormous amount of negative coverage bsky.app/profile/matt...

The hardest rule of Beltway journalism is that Republican public officials have no agency and bear no responsibility for choices fully within their discretion

here, trump and mainstream political media is largely in alignment: the job of president is to answer questions from political reporters
