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

NEW -- Yes, there absolutely was media malfeasance in our coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign. No, it wasn't about Joe Biden being old. It was about how we normalized the hell out of a man who had already tried to end American democracy once. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

Aaaand there it is.

to be fair it started with jd giving tulsi makeup tips and shit just got away from them

Becoming a “thank you for your service” guy for a car dealership is the logical endpoint of American conservatism

After a decade of sabotage, he's still at it. Trump's tag team partner.

starting to suspect Elon didn't find any missing gold at Fort Knox. Is anyone going to follow up on that or no

Good

you should tell that to this guy because it seems like he disagrees with you

I think once reliable “feckless Democrats!” posting nets you either consistent likes/attention or newsletter subscriptions you’re probably intellectually compromised

Yes

Lol the new Star Wars book about the early days of the empire would feel too overt a political commentary if it hadn’t been written well before the election.

I really don't understand why pundits don't understand this. MANY of you have better platforms than any Democrat this side of AOC. If you spend all your time whining (some more) about Democrats, then you are being just as feckless, you are giving the GOP just as much of a pass, as the Dems are.

I see people saying this sort of thing often, and quite frankly it makes me sad. The truth is, more people are making good adventure games now than were ever made during the “golden age” of the 90s. For example: 🧵

Murc’s Law

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

Circling back on Rep. Ro Khanna and Sen. Bernie Sanders publicly praising Elon Musk and expressing eagerness to work with DOGE, treating it as a good faith effort. How's that going? Did boosting Musk get military spending cuts like they wanted?

The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying. pepfarimpact.vercel.app

At a certain point the “leftists” who hate liberals more than they hate the fascists are going to have to admit that they’ve been playing for the fascist team.

It bears repeating and repeating ad nauseum: If you withheld support from Biden/Harris as a means of advocating for Palestinian nationhood and the aspirations of the Palestinian people and you did not see this moment coming: You are a performative, sloganeering and politically incompetent rube.

If you didn’t do it in a swing state i honestly don’t care that much, whatever dude. But I do detest the “you can’t judge me” whining from protest voters. Fuck you. You intentionally made a public statement both doing it and telling people about it, shut the fuck up if you can’t take the heat.

Literally all House Dems can do right now is write letters, do media appearances, and not vote for things. If you want something different give them a House majority back and they can get to work.

That working class white people in blood red states are reactionary lumpenproles and are not waiting to be activated by socialist rhetoric is something that a certain subset of leftists online just cannot confront.

The cycle: 1) Dem says thing 2) press takes a bit out of context and mischaracterizes thing 3) everybody freaks out 4) somebody points out context 5) somebody else says actually it’s Dems’ fault for saying things that can be taken out of context Repeat forever.

A lot of lefty folks think a bunch of politically active negatively polarized women who voted against Trump three times are fascists eager to join the Trumpenreich SS but manly men who voted Republican every election since 1996 are one Rogan interview away from socialism. I don’t think that’s true.
