"you think there's gonna be electio--" yeah i do, because he ain't gonna stop'em, and he ain't even got the stones to try because he's a wet old shit

Eastern Iowa is giving me some hope. If suburban Omaha would act like other suburbia, Iowa would have some good opportunities for congressional pickups.

31% of Republicans think we should cancel elections. Good to know where the floor is.

Listen, if 30% of Republicans do not want to vote, we should not stop them!

anyway with very few exceptions most key actors in the interwar world were doing so much the literal opposite of what one might do if they genuinely thought that hitler was a real problem that an honest account of the whole thing makes almost no nation look particularly good

And there it is.

Shouldn't it be a bigger story that the immigration cops are seizing and imprisoning people who CANNOT POSSIBLY BE IMMIGRANTS

Normal Nazi tattoo candidate you should definitely all be giving lots of money to. 👍🏼

god, there’s apparently ICE agents in Bemidji, in northern MN. Bemidji is between my reservation and two others. there is very little diversity besides the Indigenous population. truly terrifying with how vulnerable Native women especially already are.

Just a reminder that you do not Peacock to watch any Olympic events. If you have a pay tv provider you just log in to the NBC or NBC sports app with your provider and you can watch all of them. Or on NBCOlympics dot com. It will say you need Peacock, but you just need to sign in with your provider

Best podcast I've ever done. But that's because I interviewed @wellerstein.bsky.social!

Here's the CIA map of Venezuela. I always need a map to make sense of things. This one is dated 2007.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

“Over the long Christmas break, the president of the United States may have leaked classified information about a secret military operation targeting Venezuela, and did so while calling in to a New York radio show – hosted by a ‘Marty Supreme’ cast member – to brag…

“…about his accomplishments and complain about “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” In a second Donald Trump presidency bursting with constant scandal, corrupt ineptitude, and cartoonish…

“…authoritarianism, this was possibly one of its most grotesquely Coen brothers-style moments in an administration overflowing with them.”

“Shut the fuck up Donny”

“Covid broke a lot of brains,” you people say, not realizing you are self diagnosing

I don’t like posting about or reporting on Bari Weiss. Check my post history. I find her incredibly boring and stupid and would rather not, but the baffling omnishambles of what they and she are doing at cbs and how it intersects with the cartoonish fascism of the second trump era forced my hand

Well no let's be fair here. These are not Russian talking points, because Russia has never said anything remotely as conciliatory as she alleges, in its entire existence.

You can defeat your opponents without converting them. Demobilization matters. When there's a leadership vacuum and people in a movement are fighting each other, it saps energy. They lose organizational power. Fewer of them take action. Fewer vote. www.salon.com/2025/12/15/t...

there's some material to be mined by an expert in how we went from hack standup "i like my coffee BLACK. just give me a PLAIN BLACK COFFEEEE!!!" expectations to very accessible and incredibly good plain black filter coffee

This is true for everyone: the press, who ascribe him long-term plans & intentions. His supporters, who ascribe him some fealty to conservative ideology. His opponents, who ascribe him political knowledge & skill. They are all telling you about themselves, not Trump. He contains nothing.

reorganizing the military and promoting Pete Hegseth to NINCOMPAC

Buffoonery and malignancy are not a good combination. youtu.be/HsHjW8rBRk0

Trump ended the war. He then granted the Thai and Cambodian peoples their Second Amendment rights, and that’s what we’re currently seeing.

also the us president is a crazy old man who looks really weird and says incredibly weird shit

It’s great news because we eat Thanksgiving turkey *all the time*. (Shit prices are down due to oversupply, so there’s plenty of *that* to eat.)

Because some are asking... "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is a carve out for ambassadors, tribal nations outside of US jurisdiction and invading armies. It decidedly does not apply to children of foreign-born parents (4/3)

“But I say to you, slap evil people on the right cheek; and if that doesn’t take, slap them on the other cheek also.”

The entire debate over birthright citizenship is anti-constitutional because the purpose, intent, and text of the 14th Amendment were designed to foreclose any argument about who counts as an American citizen.

When a 100 year old legacy media company that’s generated countless dollars in entertainment and human employment all over the world is valued only marginally more than a failed software product almost nobody even knows exists… I don’t know the solution. But the money is in the wrong places.

Republicans studiously avoiding thinking about what might happen because Donald pardoned a bunch of violent recidivists and set them loose.

Mr President DEI stands for Donald’s Excellent Intelligence

You know that feeling you get when you see someone who has had a botched plastic surgery?

Credit where credit is due, it’s very funny that Lane gave us a specific day that all of this mess would be resolved and then when that day got here he just ghosted all of sports media and the entire internet

Me Too Two: This Time We Mean It

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen multiple times The Jayhawks Southern Culture on the Skids Los Lobos Reverend Horton Heat The New Pornographers

Update: it's good!

Oh fuck no

One deeply underappreciated aspect of MAHA is how much it's often a fig leaf for domestic abuse. I'm not surprised doctors on the ground belive men are withholding kids' vaccines as a way to control and terrorize their wives. They obviously are! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/o...

WalMart is acutely aware of what its customers can afford to pay. Slashing the cost of the Thanksgiving package is a canary in the coal mine for the economy. They could have downscaled to keep the price the same but they chose to cut $10, because that was a bigger draw.

Slavery in the Americas did not emerge wholly formed in all its horrors, but rather developed - in the worst possible ways - out of traditions and markets long pre-dating colonialism. But this isn't exculpatory for American slavery.

So yeah, sometimes when people bring up pre-modern traditions of slavery, including in Africa, and the role of Africans in the Atlantic slave trade, its clear where they are going politically and its more useful to shut that shit down.

I searched “america business forum jerkoff dance” on YouTube and it was what you would expect. Just saying.

I don’t see the video of a crowned Donald dumping shit on a crowd from a plane as a distraction from what Donald is doing, I see it as a double red underline to emphasize what Donald is doing, and I wonder about those folks who don’t think they live in the same country that we do.

I’ve come to the conclusion that I cannot possibly care about Charlie Kirk any more than his widow does.

Yeah, this is kind of funny. This must be the reason for the firing. youtu.be/uVHQ8WLba68?...
