New romance novel just dropped

That it's so much easier to get Nico Harrison canned for trading Luka Doncic for 20 cents on the dollar than to get Chuck Schumer canned for trading the world away for a handful of pocket lint probably says something about our collective misallocation of accountability in our society.

Schumer really watched this dude melting down like this and went "man, we better throw him a lifeline"

Eugene Debs: it's better to vote for what you want, and not get it, than to vote for what you don't want, and get it. Chuck Schumer: I just like voting on shit, who cares? Somebody put this pinko back in prison.

"Have the Supreme God of Egypt killed." "But Sir-" "Do as I say!"

I'm just never gonna get over the combination of: 1. Dem rhetoric during 2024 was depicting Trump with a Hitler stache and calling MAGA fascist; 2. They were demonstrably correct; and 3. Their strategy for Hitler turned out to be just rolling over for him and hoping it'll all go away on its own.

now this is fucking journalism

Remember when people got really mad at me for pointing out Barack Obama did this for 8 years and nobody even pretended to think of him being prosecuted for it, thus all the Supreme Court actually did was confirm a norm everyone was already operating under?

Sure sounds like a foreign government (I wonder which one!) meddling in American elections. Democrats and Republicans alike have assured me that is to be considered the most vile affront to American sovereignty so I'm sure there'll be hell to pay when we figure out who did this.

ol Know Nothing Bernie re-emerges to back Trump's immigration policies and declare that the US wasn't a real country until we banned Chinese women in 1875. Can we be done with this ol bitter racist wing of the labor left now?

There's literally a whole meme about not doing this

Remember that scene in the Office where Dwight imagines having absolute power and the most ambitious thing he can imagine is co-owning a B&B with Satan and making $80,000 a year? Anyway here's the Dems promising you'll be able to see the faces of the goons kidnapping you off the street if they win.

This quote from Johnson makes perfect sense if you consider all possible connotations of the word "threatening."

A shrewd move to rile up Trump's biggest supporters by reminding them the founder of antifa gets laid while they can't

Happy 9th anniversary to this tweet

lol "based on the definition." wtf else would you base it on? Also what a surprise: if these people think they need to adopt the correct position to get your vote.... they will. Who'da thunk?

Dems this week: the USG soldiers who committed a massacre at Wounded Knee 235 years ago got rewarded for it? That's outrageous! Also Dems this week: the USG official who committed a genocide last year is being protested? That's outrageous! I am begging you to pick a lane and stay there.

Well @jaketapper.bsky.social only views one of these 3 situations as affecting a human being. Simple.

oh, so I guess she wasn't just waiting for after the election to "pivot" on Israel like so many of her thralls insisted. Even now she seems completely incapable of understanding the gravity of her evil or why anyone was opposed to it.

When Barack Obama murdered Anwar al-Awlaki without charge or trial, the seal on all this was broken. And when a bunch of "journalists" at the WHCA dinner cackled like hyenas as Obama joked about drone-murdering the Jonas Brothers, it was clear that it was never getting put back together again.

Antigunners forever: don't care about grandpa's deer rifle, it's assault weapons we hate Antigunners today: the problem is old bolt actions, they're too easy to use Someday there'll be a discourse where people say what they believe (e.g. "I don't think people should have guns"). But not this day.

If Charlie Kirk wasn't a racist then why is the GOP demanding statues of him? Checkmate.

A bit on the nose, honestly. www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

Challenging Dems before office: don't do that, it helps their opponents in the next election! Challenging Dems in office: don't do that, it helps their opponents in the next election! Challenging Dems after office: don't do that, they're not even in charge of anything!

lol, "aide to Harry Reid" is an interesting way to describe someone who was much more recently the rancid John Fetterman's chief of staff, NYT.

finally get this scene

Re-reading Lord of the Rings lately (and for a while, it's long as shit). This passage particularly hit home this time around.

"I was hoping he looked like... well, Kash come up here a moment."

They're absolutely gonna try to ban Helldivers 2 now huh

We abhor political violence. As proof, we will be lowering the flags at the McDonalds outside our political prisoner torture camp.

I figure the right picked the wrong week to spend jerking each other off over murdering 11 people on a boat in Venezuela and stabbing a bunch of Korean fishermen to death. People start smirking before you even get the first bit of "he was a human being" or "he had a family" out of your mouths huh?

Politicians support political violence every day. Deporting people is political violence. Drone strikes are political violence. Locking people in prison is political violence. All they're *actually* opposed to is violence AGAINST politicians (and pundits). They LOVE political violence otherwise.

So if Gavin Newsom loses his running mate who is next in line?

My favorite thing about the "big tent, win elections, pass laws, anti-purity test Left" is that they don't win elections, they don't pass laws, and if you disagree with them about cleansing transgender people, immigrants, and Palestine they will throw you out of the tent for failing the purity test

wrt Trump murdering random people on random boats and calling them terrorists, just gonna leave this here. What Trump is doing is evil, unconstitutional, immoral. What it is NOT is novel.

While we're discussing sacrilege and hypocrisy, Dem politicians using the murders of American children to demand action *immediately* after the DNC voted to continue supporting Israel... Curtis was right. If there's a Hell below...

Conservatives pretending they're being mocked for praying per se, and not for cynical, vacuous virtue signaling is a perfect example of why it's pointless to engage with these people. They are incapable of engaging in good faith, so what's the point of arguing with them?

I know it's fun to point and laugh at the rampant GOP hypocrisy, e.g. on Trump nationalizing private businesses, but I think the real takeaway for Dems should be that a sufficiently motivated, militant base can make politicians do virtually anything, no matter how personally demeaning or humiliating
