He makes it so hard to be a blind sycophant.

We are not doing this. This is the dying electrical activity in the brain of a madman.

Look, you can preach about the founders and America's supposed contempt for hereditary rule all you want, but at the end of the day Americans want hereditary rule and have made that clear in pretty much every context in which it's been tested.

So yeah, the federal judge in the case is just as sure as the rest of us are that the Trump admin's $1.8 billion slush fund 'settlement' was crooked.

The sitting POTUS announced an objectively insane new supposed policy and nobody's taking it too seriously because we, the media, and Congress all know that POTUS is unfit, erratic, and lies more often than he doesn't. Oh well, everyone shrugs. Must be Monday.

My lasting image of Lindsey Graham will always be when he theatrically declared “Count me out. Enough is enough!” after January 6th — and then got back in with Trump more than ever before for Trump 2.0

Sen. Lindsey Graham had astonished biologists by surviving—and even thriving—after the death of host organism John McCain.

Bold to put the "America has a fertility crisis" and the "America's young adults can't afford to move out of their parents' house" pieces in the same edition of the same paper.

They could have made this map any color.

Living in a fascist country means everything is stupid as hell literally all the time.

jfc what an asshole

Kids today have lost the fine art of bullshitting a 10 page paper from a single Funk & Wagnalls entry or from reading only the CliffsNotes. 🤣

My take on most mergers/layoffs is that it's proof US megacorps have lost all ability to Do Stuff. Every time they buy companies that Do Stuff it collapses under their universal incompetence at Doing Stuff. Every current megacorp is just a market manipulation scheme w/ its own trademarks.

Petulant foot-stomping has worked for Trump his entire life & when it doesn't work he just has no plan b, no backup, no other tools.

Oh, so you don't want a giant space mirror randomly blinding you and every other driver on the road at any given moment during the night as its beam travels to its designated position lighting up some rich asshole's wedding, sounds like you just hate progress buddy.

I have no idea how anyone convinced themselves that this was a good idea worth pursuing, just from an economic standpoint. This would be some of the most expensive 'distributed compute' out there! The overhead would be enormous! We're truly in the last days of the AI cash bubble.

This may just be a programmer thing but have you ever looked up how to do some once-simple tech thing only to find that the industry 'solution' is now under the purvue of three separate randomletter committees controlled by megacorporations that hate each other, the tech in question, and you.

We should do a thing where everyone gets to be a news pundit until the first time they get something wrong, and then they're out. Sorry, screwed up, gotta let the next person in the chair. Like a game show. America has enough people that this wouldn't be even a little hard.

Seems like Trump is a big wet baby for not using it anyway.

Weird that she thinks that crumbling fortune cookies in a Chinese restaurant makes her look like a scary red baiter rather than an emotionally disturbed child.

Donald Trump said a decision on US troop levels in Europe would hinge on whether allies were able to capture and rendition his hated enemies, the Smurfs.

Great, fantastic, we were really suffering from a dearth of imminent national catastrophes of late so it's good to see the feral hogs stepping up.

Um, does anybody else see that or is it just me.

Can everyone involved here please stop sucking for FIVE DAMN MINUTES.

Is it good when you start sundowning at noon

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

Healthy as an ox. Healthy as a mostly dead ox, anyway. Healthy as a leather handbag made from an ox. A used one, maybe. One you find at a thrift store. Replace the broken strap clip with a twist tie and you're good to go.

"His wife has said that he relied on an inhaler for asthma, but ICE agents rejected her attempt to give them the device when he was taken into custody."

when i was young they had these people called “investigative journalists” who could find out stuff like if a senator was dead or not

Yes but he can't use that doomsday bunker, it doesn't have enough gold leaf.

I doubt he's dead but I absolutely think he's terminal and on life support and will be kept in this agonizing mechanical fugue until some arbitrary deadline passes. Because it's what he himself would have done to someone, if he had the chance.

Trump wanted lots of fireworks so of course they just bought entire warehouses of the cheapest uncolored filler-grade stuff they could get, piled em up, threw a match and ran.

Sometimes it just hits you all over again, the realization that our nation is under the control of a propagandistic death cult because a good chunk of our citizens wanted it that way. The palpable national demand to make everything meaner and stupider and worse.

Tourists "dangled their tired feet in the Reflecting Pool in front of the Washington Monument, or they waded — fully clothed and often knee-deep in water — across the pond in front of the Lincoln Memorial" - Washington Post 7-5-1976 reports July 4th Bicentennial fireworks

Attending Trump's semisesquicentewhatever fireworks show? Make sure you're prepared with this handy guide.

If you live in DC you're going to want to stock up on Advil before the weekend hits.

Mitch McConnell could have led the Senate into impeaching Trump for Jan. 6. It was the obvious, decent, and patriotic thing to do. It would have blocked Trump's return to power, ended his corruption, and saved lives. But he wouldn't. Again he prioritized his party over his country. And here we are.

Some donors who intended to give to the bipartisan, congressionally chartered America250 initiative were instead steered to the partisan, Trump-backed Freedom 250, according to a report from House Dems. The report says that could amount to "potential wire fraud and charitable solicitation fraud."

this Pirro press conference is completely beyond parody, like a deleted scene from Idiocracy. listen to this shit

"Welcome, child. Do you seek to be born again?" "Look, I'll be whatever religion you want me to be, just let me in the pool already."

Today's NYT jobs report coverage (left) compared to exactly 2 years ago under Biden (right). Notice the numbers.

This guy should be the poster boy for every Democratic candidate, even if you’re running for city council in Iowa. He’s the perfect example of a Ballroom Republican.

Damn. Looks like Hegseth killed a guy. There is a direct, straight line from his policy decision to the service member's death.

Bill White switched from being a Democrat to a rabid Republican because Chelsea Clinton didn't say hi to him one time. www.nytimes.com/2018/11/26/n...

It. Is. Fraud. It is all fraud. They are defrauding you to make you think the product is more groundbreaking than it is, that we have to rework the whole world to give them special powers. This is like asking whether cartoon characters are real.

And it all ends with everyone running for their lives because Trump insisted on setting off Way Too Many Fireworks.
