Remembering when Chris Rufo insisted that Disney was a thoroughly corrupt institution because it had a small number of employees arrested on CSAM and sex trafficking charges and I replied, well, let's use that standard for Republicans, and he blocked me before I could finish the thread.

Again, if you think the creation of the Department of Defense in 1947 had anything to do with “woke” politics you should not be allowed to operate a car much less the entire American military.

Charlie kirk gets killed by a white man, HBCUs get bomb threats. White man shoots up a white church, people talk negatively about the Black Panthers. People get mad about alleged latin american drug cartels, a predominately Black apartment complex gets raided at 2 am I'm seeing a trend

“The source told CBS News that [Kash Patel and Dan Bongino] asked for "large, beefy" agents to conduct an arrest of Comey "in full kit," including Kevlar vests and exterior wear emblazoned with the FBI logo.” The leadership of the FBI is now in the hands of infantile psychopaths.

Doing massive damage across the economy and then individually "saving" those who kiss up to the leader, doesn't seem like the best way to build a strong economy.

Chappelle: Y’all are more free than we are Riyadh crowd: Wooooooo Chappelle: Like if I tell jokes about trans people at home people say shit about me Riyadh crowd: booo Chappelle: but you guys clap Riyadh: [applause] Chappelle: you see THAT’s free speech

The MAGA complaint with Biden is that he used an autopen to sign things, which makes sense because the *only* part of the job that Trump apparently can still handle is scrawling his stupid Sharpie signature across government documents

Bari Weiss, a mediocrity, built a lucrative career by riding the online right’s grievances, many of which are fictitious. On the right, incessant whining and whataboutism pays.

Find Toad, or What's Left of Him

I remain baffled by Jimmy Fallon's success. He's not remotely funny, and his inexplicable stint on SNL is memorable only for his repeated habit of breaking during sketches and laughing at his actually talented scene partners and ruining it all.

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.

"cancel culture" was an overblown thing where some people got fired for sexually harassing their employees and others got yelled at on Twitter. The conservative version, which some claim as an inevitable counterbalance, is doxxing & death threats for making fun of self-proclaimed white supremacists.

YouTube sent an email that was like, You should collaborate with other YouTubers, check it out Mr Beast drinking piss with his friend

Really interesting tidbits in this latest NYT focus group

this was the worst thing about Trump 1.0, every week felt like a year I cannot fucking believe people wanted to go back to this

What a country.

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

"lol the supreme court is always going to rule for donald trump" is the "orange man bad" of legal analysis simple, boring, has a better track record than literally every attempt at more complex analysis

The greatest innovation billionaires have come up with is they found a way to have billions of dollars and still be miserable and angry all the time

If you mash the audio example buttons on the wikipedia page for the IPA vowel sounds you can create a choir of mildly disgusted men

jesus h. tapdancing christ, he really is saying quite literally "being mean to me is illegal" and not a soul in any type of professional media cares, what the fuck are we even DOING anymore

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

capitalism really doing a poor job at selling itself right now

It can’t be true if we hide it from you.

Sinclair is demanding that Kimmel apologize to the family (?) and also "make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA" Are you fucking kidding me? It's not enough they got him fired, they want him to grovel and send money to these anti-free speech grifters?

From 2020:

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

I tell you it is deeply infuriating to raise small children and try to instill in them that throwing tantrums to get what you want is unacceptable behavior and then you look at the news and all you see everywhere is tantrums being rewarded government by petulant five year olds

I wish I could repost this 500 times

I love how Chris Rufo pretends "civil discourse and persuasive debate" is anything close to how he does politics. His strategy, which he will openly admit, is to manufacture controversy, misrepresent facts, and then use mindgames and brute force tactics to silence his opposition. Not "persuasion."

One of the best GOP impersonations ever?

Trump: everyone in the US died from drugs last week Reporter: [nods] Trump: so we must murder on the high seas Reporter: [nods] Trump: I caught Trix rabbit once Reporter: [nods] Trump: the cock on that bunny Reporter: [nods] Trump: bigger than you think Headline: Trump Policy Seeks To Save Lives

Saying the Democratic Party tried to kill Trump and “actually killed Charlie” (both claims wildly false and inflammatory)—and saying that it’s the *Democratic Party* that needs to tone down its rhetoric is…really something.

apparently its just one person working on the game but quite an important one so fuck that and if you own it leave a review
