Come on, Grassley. You were on deck and you went and let Graham take your spot?

Alright Grassley, YOU'RE UP.

I like working but I hate having a job.

The more AI can help you with your job the more anyone can do your job.

The last nugget of credit I gave Trump supporters was he didn't seem as eager to start middle east wars as typical Republicans. Now their humiliation is complete.

I'm the Michael Jordan of being affably drunk at work happy hour.

It's interesting to reflect on how far you have come in life. 20 years ago I had to take out a loan because I didn't have $5000 for a used car. Today I asked my wife to loan me $5000 because I didn't have money for a used car.

Things are gonna get worse before they get worse.

America right now is Wile E. Coyote, having run off the cliff edge, but not yet having fallen to leave a cartoon dust cloud hovering in space.

The fact that a mass shooter just walking away free from the scene and remaining at large isn't screaming front page news shows that societal collapse is already here.

Everyone, I'm begging you, before you have a performance review or salary negotiation, plug your current salary in to an inflation calculator and see what it is in 2016 dollars to see what you REALLY make. Corporate America is banking on your ignorance.

America is a rabid dog.

My music taste is basically the bad guys in Sinners. Should I be worried?

Democrats need to have an AI disinformation campaign locked and loaded to answer the inevitable Republican efforts before the 2026 midterms. We need a mutually assured destruction superweapon ready to go the instant Republicans try it.

Everyone needs to go to an inflation calculator and put in your 2016 salary and compare the adjusted amount with your current salary.

America is Wile-E-Coyote, having run off the cliff edge but not yet fallen.

Senate Dems basically just confessed to a crime they didn't commit.

The Abundance pundits who are enthralled with Trump's ability to "just do things" don't understand that the supreme Court treats Democratic presidents as aberrations or frauds but Republican presidents as representing the true will of the people. Democrats will never be allowed to "just do things."

The instinct to be snarky, dismissive, or even to express outright approval for the destruction of the white house by some on the left exhibits perfectly why so many normies are repulsed by us. If we ever want to win I'm begging us to make an effort to suppress the urge to be obnoxious. For once.

Normies HATE seeing beloved architectural icons destroyed, but the instinct of some on the left to immediately say "the white house was built by slaves / represents America's colonial evil I didn't care it is destroyed" shows why we KEEP LOSING. Use opportunities to grow yoru movement, not alienate!

How much you want to bet they are using AI to tell them which "drug boats" to blow up?

Conservatives want to destroy the federal government but they are too stupid to realize it is the very mechanism that gives them power disproportionate to their actual numbers. A shattered union would just re assemble itself with blue states capturing power in proportion to their economic influence.

I keep finding people in real life who don't use Firefox with uBlock Origin. I haven't seen an ad on YouTube for 10 years, yet other people seem to subject themselves to them out of a misplaced sense of guilt. Guys, Google just "settled" (bribed) Trump with millions. Block those ads save your sanity

Conservatives get to indulge in and even enact their darkest genocidal fantasies, but liberals must OF COURSE condemn any violence or threats against ice personnel. Conservatives are the spoiled brats of politics and liberals are the adults.

Hear me out: Jimmy Kimmel was Trump's Afghanistan withdrawal.

More like Walt Quisling Company.

The right might have bungled backlash politics so badly they have made the left madder about Kimmel getting suspended then the right is mad about Kirk getting fucking shot to death. Also I am antifa.

I. Am. ANTIFA.

I'm antifa.

Charlie Kirk hated black people and he didn't care who knew it.

I was not prepared for the Kirk shooting motive to be true love.

Hey, media, there aren't two political factions driving the country to civil war. There is one faction doing that and another who are their victims. The fact that Kirk's insurrectionist platform has been inadvertently silenced actually makes civil war less likely, not more.

So they caught the killer and aren't screaming from the rooftops that he's a liberal? This means Democrats grovelled for preemptive forgiveness for NOTHING. Once again conservatives killed their own and Democrats went ahead and punished themselves for no reason. Fuck that bigot, Charlie Kirk.

All these liberal pundits rushing to prostrate themselves in apology before the right wing hate machine are going to look pretty stupid when we find out the shooter was yet again another right wing freak.

I take it they haven't found the killer? The Utah FBI office used to be run by a legendary and effective woman who was purged in a fit of anti DEI hysteria due to her race. This means that Charlie Kirk praised and celebrated the thing that is likely preventing justice for his own murder.

You can't have a martyr without a preparator, and it's harder to find a preparator with a purged and hollowed out FBI. Successful authoritarian regimes expand the machinery of the state, not gut it.

The irony of getting shot defending gun rights with your last breath under a banner that reads "prove me wrong."

Every clip i ever saw of Charlie Kirk was him spewing the most hateful, vile, nasty racist dreck imaginable. Now the question is will he be more use to maga as a Horst Wessel than he was as a Joseph Goebbels?

People who hate Newsom shouldn't be scared at the attention he's getting, they should be grateful he's showing the level of fight that is expected of others if they want 2028 buzz.

The GOP is staking their entire redistricting effort on the belief that Latino voters hate trans people more than they hate getting racially profiled, yanked out of their cars, and having a boot on their neck grinding their face in to the pavement. It's not a bet I'd make, but what do I know?

Gavin Newsom is transphobic in exactly the same way Obama opposed gay marriage in 2008. While I think it's a terrible position and should be disqualifying, if he does end up being the nominee, it's entirely likely he'd end up advancing trans rights ultimately. Don't panic.

Does Hakeem Jeffries realize he's hurting his own election chances 1000x more than Mamdani's?

When I say I want Democratic politicians who will fight, I mean I want Democratic politicians who will sneak laxatives in to their Republican colleague's drinks in the Capitol cafeteria causing then to miss critical votes. That's the kind of fight I want.

Instead of making buses and trains free, we should put the amount of resources that would have gone in to subsidizing the system in to making it faster, safer, and cleaner for the current price. That is what people who actually use transit really want.

JD Vance has been groomed to be America's Putin.

The 2026 election will determine if we fly this plane in to the world trade center or if we can somehow, against all odds, manage to crash it in to a field in Pennsylvania.

The press is desperate for a trend to push, but the Mamdani win and Deja Fox loss just show that good candidates win and bad ones lose.

We were on a glide path to peace, stability, and prosperity, then Republican voters crashed in to the cockpit with box cutters and suicide vests.

The old guy that runs my neighborhood Mexican bakery was glued to the TV watching the ongoing Camarillo raids with disgust. I never got the impression he had any political opinions one way or another, but I guarantee he does now.

Republicans aren't worried about their constituents anymore because they just funded their own partisan army. what rural hospital closure protests? Get too noisy at a town hall and get hauled off to alligator aushiwitz.
