The Atlantic, worried that they've been on an unfortunate string of articles in the vicinity of the right side of history about the ICE crisis, have poached David "Fancy Hams are Scary" Brooks from NYT to write shit like "What the Neocons Got Right"

Someone got mad when I said no one was buying Melania tickets and they were all freebies lol

The GOP has lost even the people who knew how to hide the evil behind euphemisms and platitudes and grim, serious frowns. And it's hard to resist the conclusion that the reason why is that the people at the top are now so stupid they can't even recognize that they were lying to provide cover.

This is the large domino, with the small domino being some random quack in the UK in 1998 trying to undermine the existing MMR vaccine so his business partner can swoop in with his own. Instead he lost his work credentials and now kids are dying needlessly all over the world, so great job everyone.

The GOP is in fact the party of divorced middle aged men whose blue haired daughters hate them

Wanna see some stupid horseshit from a stupid magazine for horseshit enthusiasts?

you don't have to listen to these people

there are people going out in the freezing cold and literally putting their lives on the line in defense of their communities and the multicultural secular society they believe in. not interested in what some online wannabe dnc consultant type wants to tell me what is and isn't possible now

Imagine committing to the trump program so hard that you *get a bunch of surgery to achieve the mar-a-lago look* and then still getting shivved and discarded by the big guy as soon as it scores him points. Lmao.

if it was 1983 and your mother taught you anything useful about video games, you had a pretty cool mom

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom: "If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."

Here's the Heritage Foundation all-in on repealing Section 230 so that litigious Christian nationalists can dictate the speech rules for the entire Internet It's so embarrassing so many Dems are falling for this www.teenvogue.com/story/some-d...

you could do a whole thesis on the specific kind of Good Boy Bigot who's teetering on the edge of sanity at all times because all his friends and acquaintances have real morals and his moral universe is "Must agree with mommy and daddy and gammaw and pep pep, even though pep pep was in the klan"

"this soda has 7 grams of protein" and this earth has fallen into irreversible corruption

As an extremist Luddite I believe that it's important to be able to read and write for yourself

Reminder that this person has millions of subscribers to her show lol

Welp It was what we thought it was.

I am so bored of yelling at wil wheaton. He's boring to yell at.

fucking hell just remembered, "CBP stays at border" and the way 'border' is defined in this country is this bullshit. awesome work, guys

They do currently have the right to kill us and laugh about it. They will until we take it away from them. The Democratic party as it currently exists would balk at taking it away from them.

Not only are these demands useless and unenforceable, the Dems are starting here, and, at best, will buckle on most of them in an attempt to "meet them halfway". They'll then claim it as a victory before emailing you for another $7.

ICE is just a murder club and the murderers in it enjoy being in murder club.

none and Democrats know it. the demands also suck.

I hope there aren't any centrist pundits in the anti-anti-ICE lane but if there are I know exactly what they're going to write: "If you support MN and ME resisting ICE, you would have supported MS and AL resisting Reconstruction" Cmon, Atlantic: one of your guys wants this smoke, right?

Fox News thinks it's the New York Times. The New York Times thinks it's Fox News. The Washington Post thinks it's the hamburglar

Democratic Leadership has to thread a particularly tricky needle, here: 1) Let Trump off the hook by blaming all the horrors on bad behavior by mid-level ICE/DHS leadership 2) avoid actual consequences that impact mid-level ICE/DHS leadership Be pretty cool if they didn't want that, but they do

Buttigieg Provides a Bold New Vision: Do the Same Things That Lost, But Win

"Our pivot to the right is failing miserably. We're eating shit by every conceivable metric. If we're going to turn this around, there's really only one option: continue to eat all the shit until there just isn't any more shit left to eat"

Turns out that Bari Weiss's all hands at CBS today is to announce she's bringing on some anti-vax guys and Niall Ferguson. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/b...

The blessed day is upon us once again

If this was the first term, the bovino firing would be met with a whole round of warm approval-boosting op-eds about how good and statesmanlike Trump was for making the move and appeasing the people. At least one douchebag pundit would have wheeled out "this is the day Donald Trump became president"

Show idea: CSI set in a fascist dystopia where in half of the cases the crime lab determines that an untouchable member of the regime did the murder and they have to pivot from assisting the prosecution to assisting the cover-up (Ok fine, a MORE OVERT fascist dystopia than the one we live in)

Honestly though, whether he attempts a truly demented "Why I Left MAGA" pivot or a preposterous "I am the true heir to MAGA! I am the new god-emperor!!", or just fizzles out into a sadboy, vance-watching is going to stay right on that knife edge of hilarious and infuriating for a long time

Coulda just shut up

So are they going to try to memory hole all the times Vance embraced Bovino Thought? Or are they gonna let him twist a little because this is the beginning of his long slow slide out of the in-group?

Jeremy Clarkson sits alone in a theatre as the lights dim

Seeing some people saying that bovino "fucked up" and I think it's important to say something about that: Bovino did EXACTLY WHAT WAS EXPECTED OF HIM and was scapegoated because THEY DID NOT EXPECT IT TO BE THIS UNPOPULAR. Lessons: 1) lol you're all disposable, why do you serve this backstabber

The Trump admin is scrambling because the secret police it sends out for kidnappings and rioting has been killing people on video then brazenly lying about it, but Schumer's instinct is to whip his caucus into taking a position *more conservative* than that held by the median voter. He's got to go.

He’s not choking. He’s doing what he believes is his job.

Maybe this is just me fixating on something inconsequential but a Fox News host saying "I never liked her" about the entire DHS on air feels like the weirdest thing in a weird evening of trumpworld backpedaling

My boss's boss just now, after hours, put a "(his name)/(my name) catch up" meeting on my calendar for 14 hours from now so uhhhh if I still have a job 14.5 hours from now everybody give me a thumbs up I guess

I'm all in on this but ONLY if we don't let Ratner pretend he's in on the joke and allowed to laugh with us, like Wiseau

If miller also gets put on a bus and towed out of the environment I am going to be downright cheerful for several days. It won't be enough, it won't even begin to pay down the balance or redress the horrors. But it will cheer me up.

It's always so sad when the guys who signed up to be Knife In Back Receptacle realize that that's what they were and get mad about it Wait, sad's the wrong word. I meant hilarious

we are witnessing historic backpedaling here

Ooh little man's ANGY angy he's getting put on the bus
