“Do you know how much Obama gets paid for Obamacare? I hear it’s *a lot*. I plan to replace it with Trumpcare. For a lot less money than what you’re paying Obama for Obamacare, you can have healthcare provided by the people responsible for Trump Casino, Trump Steaks, Trump University, Trump Shuttle”

And now she’s talking about the difference between “beach and urban” environments, and how Huntington Beach should be careful of the urban people from Long Beach. I got a warning from Pat Burns for calling out “that’s racist.”

This is ALL I could think of (to self soothe) while taking in the horrifyingly incompetent cruelty of this week’s ‘mission’ in Chicago. They did this for the footage - so remind them they look like THIS when they try to use it as promotions performative bullying. #huthut #huthuthut #stupidkills

If I got worked over this badly I'd be furious, not impressed, unless they is I didn't get worked over at all.

No joke: one of the most racist, idiotic, dangerous things I’ve ever read. A stunning inversion of reality, turning segregationists into terrified refugees, while actual victims of segregation are transformed into a kind of invading horde who seized inner cities by force - and should be now removed.

Donald told farmers on April 1st to grow crops for the domestic market this year, but did they listen? Noooooooooo….

That's part of why I wrote this. It's important to understand that MAGA is not "real" America. On the contrary, the reason they're all so fucking bitter is they know most people aren't like them. And they resent that. www.salon.com/2025/10/01/m...

Salem has become an increasingly blue shade of purple during the 25 years I've lived here as that subculture of white evangelicalism has shrunk in terms of how many people live inside of it...but many in that subculture have also taken on a more embittered and angry attitude toward their neighbors.

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better." Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better. Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand. We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

I’m becoming more and more concerned that people at high levels of public discussion cannot identify the difference between a genuinely viral conversation vs a bunch of bots making noise.

It's not just bribery. He's now using personal litigation, backed by state extortion, to extract "settlements" which he then puts into an account he created to spend on government work, all entirely outside of Congress taxing or appropriating. It's full Charles I illegal taxation and spending.

One of the arguments in the Trump birthright citizenship SCOTUS petition is that citizenship is granted to citizens: The Fourteenth Amendment Grants Citizenship To The Children Of Those With Primary Allegiance To The United States, Such As Citizens And Lawful Permanent Residents

But fundamentally, if a shutdown happens, it happens because Trump has decided to stonewall people whose votes he needs and get his attack dog Vought to threaten people instead, using Democratic desire that people not be hurt against them.

Sinclair would have had to cancel itself for quoting Charlie Kirk

The reason they mourn Charlie Kirk but forgot about the dead kids is because they thought they could live in a high trust society and everyone else in a low trust society despite it being the same society.

libs don't go post up outside of Saddleback Church and do change my view debate videos because nobody fucking pays them six figures, plus a camera crew, plus security, to do so

trump doesn't really know the difference because trump's relationship with "truth" is not one that any reasonably sane person can interpret, he will believe whatever he is told in the moment he is told it and will believe the person who tells him something contradictory five minutes later

I just saw this disembodied quote (we do really need to stop doing that) and thinking yeah I bet that same person is really upset by 80% white much less 80% white male representation.

Nothing could honor the memory of Alfred Nobel more than letting folks know what everyone else will say about them when they pass away. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_P...

Yo dawg I hear you like hate in your hate

i don't doubt their ability to immiserate and destroy. they can do and are doing immense harm here and around the world. but i guess also shouldn't feel the need to poop my pants because jd vance is doing his best downfall rant hosting a podcast from the white house

weird that the people who loved Charlie Kirk the most want to engage in a violent crackdown on disfavored groups and the vile purveyors of violence just wanted to make little jokes online and move on

They murdered about 10% of the population of Gaza.

I’m not so interested in Kilmeade per se (though he’s an important data point) so much as the general tendency to escalate to more and more violent solutions to whatever ails society.

People don't understand that civil conflict looks like your neighbors dragging you out of bed in the middle of the night and executing you in your living room simply because they're suspicious you might be a political enemy, and it really shows sometimes.

met two pretty big celebs today and you know what, despite their reputation they were really chill and down to earth?

For the last 50 years, what Americans heard about government economic policy was similar regardless of education. This started to break down during Trump's first term. Now it has completely separated.

The right sets the terms of our political discourse in so many ways, one of which is the idea that there isn't enough "debate" and "free speech" on campus. We need to push back on this. The truth is (speaking for myself as a history prof), I don't really emphasize debate much in my classes/

What's interesting about MAGA is that they don't really care about each other, despite belonging to the same in-group. The canonization of Kirk came to a rather abrupt end the second they realized it wasn't a leftist who killed him. Trump's sociopathy has set a tone they all follow.

25. That seems to have changed. Suddenly (as in, yesterday and today), high-profile rightwing chaos-agents are expressing an awareness of the possibility that if Charlie Kirk can get popped, so could they.

Another thing: the people lining up to say “but he was nice to *me*” are to a person white guys in powerful positions. I got news for you: he did not respect your ideas, he respected your power and enjoyed proximity to it. Of course he was nice to you.

Charlie Kirk was such a deranged racist that he tried to blame the personnel policies at the Austin fire department for flash flood deaths in Kerr County a 130 miles away.

Charlie Kirk did push hate speech.

the complaint is basically that unidentified people are reacting to Charlie Kirk dying like Charlie Kirk would

This has a very specific context: That Pam Bondi's DOJ refused to enforce an arrest warrant for Cory Mills after his girlfriend called the cops on him. We should keep repeating that fact: Pam Bondi is letting a powerful white man engage in violence in part bc GOP Majority depends on her doing so

“In our background check, we found you don’t have a criminal background, sorry we can’t accept you.”

Never has it been more obvious that Trump's social media feed is run by a 19-year old they picked straight off of /pol/.

to be an informant, you have to know pertinent information about the crimes

Republicans forgot something about Jeffrey Epstein: Trump's old pedophile friend left a lot of victims. Who can talk. The harder Trump yells "hoax," the more obvious it is that whatever is in the Epstein files about him must be hair-curling. www.salon.com/2025/09/05/t...

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

As I've said elsewhere, the issue with guns is lethality: 85% of suicide attempts with guns are fatal. Other means have far lower fatality rates. If you try to kill yourself with a gun, you are likely to succeed.

I dunno, “This alcoholic-in-denial will send a helicopter gunship after your car if he thinks you’re hauling weed in it” sounds like an election winner in 2026.

have they tried unplugging Trump and plugging him back in? no, wait. have they tried unplugging Trump and leaving him that way

Elon has never read the warnings on the box of anything he’s taken

Let’s go Peay!

Everyone talks about Al, I just like his songs. youtu.be/y0ZoX4dBvwk

Didn’t we have in the news the other day that a state appellate panel affirmed that Our Special Boy committed mortgage fraud, they just weren’t clear whether it was to the tune of a half billion dollars worth.

A lot of people shared that 3.5% study, but didn't look more closely. One of the strategies that other protest movements have used effectively is to separate the military from the dictator. If they don't want to be doing his bidding, feed and encourage that. Get them on your side, not his.
