bailing farmers out is sort of a complicated question but it won’t do anything for the average american

every democrat should loudly demand that rollins explain why a farmer bailout won’t lower grocery prices

Vance is a political leatherface, willing to wear whatever skin is convenient, absolutely uncaring about who he has to hurt along the way. Underneath whatever skin he’s wearing at the time, there’s nothing concrete, just an inchoate desire for power, whatever it takes to wield it.

Started out his political career writing a book throwing his entire family under the bus, now a blood and soil type; started out calling Trump Hitler, now backing everything he does to the hilt. There is no real JD Vance. Just a void in the rough shape of a man.

“Disequilibrium” = the consequences of failed free market policies

Brendan Carr did not “make a joke on social media,” he went on a podcast and said ABC had to take action against Kimmel or the FCC would revoke licenses! We all saw it! Ted Cruz quoted it on HIS podcast in a silly mafia accent!

oh my god lol -- Trump calls for UN workers to be arrested because his escalator didn't work yesterday

Take a moment to ponder what the press, not only Fox News, but the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, TIME magazine, ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, CNN, your local news channel would be like today, if Vice President Kamala Harris @kamalaharris.com had said this.

In Kansas, it’s shaping up to be one of the best sorghum crops in years. The reason farmers are facing a tough time is due to a combination of tariff wars and USAID no longer functioning as a primary export option, BROOKE.

The answer to why people think sex scenes in pop culture are unnecessary is that we as a society scorn people who practice the craft of making them good, and also scorn the very concept that it is a craft to begin with. It is, very frankly, a skill issue.

New copypasta just dropped

Wow — Italy and Spain have now both officially announced they're sending military ships to support the Gaza aid flotilla

As a private citizen, whose options are wide open right now, she could go scorched earth on this moron for two months if she wanted to with absolutely zero repercussions other than book sales through the roof. She probably won’t do it, but man, this is so dumb by this dude.

Put another way - the entity that most benefits off of concerts these days is Ticketmaster which is insane if you think about it because they do the least work. Awhile ago I dug out my scrapbook from concerts in the late 90s and early aughts.

Coming soon to an administrative stay near you!

Gonna snort some lines of Tylenol to max out my gay and autism stats.

The FCC commissioner, the president, JD Vance himself... everyone has just having a little jest about how they would misuse the power of government! Just a little fun game!

Even with the proviso that we don't know how this is going to end up, there's something so grimly funny about Trump's fixation on punishing Comey for "disloyalty" given that he's the guy who (at least partially) got Trump elected in the first place

This administration very literally favors Secret Police.

This is a tough one to swallow after his boss tweeted ABC RENEGED ON THE DEAL TO FIRE KIMMEL AND I'M GOING TO SUE

"I have spent infinitely more time with my dogs [than famed war criminal Henry Kissinger] and would have preferred questions about them" is <chef's kiss> perfect, 10/10 no notes.

Damn sounds like he should have thought about that nine years ago when he got the guy elected in the first place

Yeah yeah it’s bad that the president uses DOJ to prosecute his enemies but I simply do not care about Jimothy! He made his choice!

First of all, uncalled for.

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

The prosecutors involved should face serious professional sanctions.

The president corrupting DOJ to the point of frivolous prosecutions to harass his critics—sometimes defined as law enforcement officials honoring the law— is very serious and bad. And yet, much as the regime got bogged down not silencing Kimmel, it’ll spend limited resources not convicting Comey.

that they’re rushing to meet the statute of limitations and have already pushed out a prosecutor who didn’t think they had a case tells me there’s an enormous chance they eat shit in hugely embarrassing fashion if they actually bring this to trial

Gotta imagine there’s at least some risk of a no true bill in that jurisdiction, especially with the US Attorney being loudly fired for objecting to political prosecutions last week.

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

like, i do not think they actually have anything to prosecute him on, and i do not think the DOJ has a single attorney left on staff with the chops to actually prosecute this

ladies if he’s a matador that is a huge red flag

Unless they’re in a boat? Unless they are driving their kids to school? Unless you’ve deported or extrajudicially rendered them to a place they’ve told you/the State Department has told you they will be assassinated?

The pettiness is so off the charts. Little boys giggling at their lame jokes.

You'd be hard-pressed to find an elected Dem who calls MAGA Nazis but saying that Democrats are in favor of killing babies has been entirely mainstream in the GOP for at least a couple of decades.

Most generously considered, what is happening with your Ezra Kleins and even your David Frenches of the world is to attempt to broker a compromise between racists and anti-racists, bigots and anti-bigots that might leave things stable for those who prioritize stability over racism or anti-racism.

these guys don’t even notice when school shootings happen, unless they think they can troll the libs with it

like, try to picture vance giving a heartfelt compassionate speech in the wake of a deadly hurricane. it’s impossible. he is utterly without compassion for anyone, which makes him profoundly unfit for office

it is just totally impossible to imagine any of these people being able to handle even a medium sized, but serious, crisis of any kind

your next door neighbor's shitty kid learned some stuff at sleepaway camp and we're in a period of disequilibrium between him getting home and the first time he gets sent to the principal's office

it will never not be wild to me that there are actual human people walking around our neighborhood streets dressed just like this I think we need to continue to remind our brains that this is extremely not normal

he is legitimately a bad person and has no business in public office

vance really does stand out for his absolute contempt for anything that looks like forbearance and generosity. his immediate instinct is always to demagogue and issue calumnies against his fellow americans.

incredible what a performative drama queen the vice president is

*dusts off this @theonion.com classic* theonion.com/amy-mcgrath-...

Bullet casings found scrawled with "because of Democrat rhetoric".

The fact she admits it “got to her” seems to imply that putting energy into protesting Harris, a candidate who might theoretically have a soul and could be moved on an issue, was a more productive use of time and energy than protesting Trump, a well established sociopath. Answered her own question.

If I have missed any public statements by Trump officials (RFK Jr made one, and I believe came to the officers memorial) please correct me. What seems fair to say, even if such statements exist, is the administration did not see the CDC attack as an event they wanted to invest political capital in.

Vance once called Trump "America's Hitler."

“The only thing that we're not doing is we're not shooting people who come across the border, because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder.”
