So Joni Ernst is gonna kill everyone that Elon didn’t. I hope Jake Tapper spends another week bitching about Biden.

If members of the press are worried they didn’t give enough coverage to the cognitive decline of a sitting president, they have an amazing opportunity to make up for it right now.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

It's weird to have elected leaders who say they want to crash the economy, reinstate segregation, strip human rights and create a perpetual underclass and then have people ask why are they doing this are they bad at economics ?

Monstrously destructive, incoherent, ill-informed tariffs based on fabrications, imagined wrongs, discredited theories and ignorance of decades of evidence. And the real tragedy is that they will hurt working Americans more than anyone else.

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

This will be an especially difficult year to tell the difference between fake bullshit and actual bullshit this April Fool's Day

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

I want a jet ready to rush Cory Booker to South Carolina once he has broken the record so he can drop a microphone on Strom Thurmond's grave.

do you think Cory Booker can make it for 3 years and about 10 months longer?

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

He's a very bad man, and he's doing tremendous, possibly irreversible, harm to our nation. But his ignorance is also such a constant embarrassment.

What were you wearing Ukraine? Maybe you were asking for it.

In the coming weeks, a lot of slow-on-the uptake folks are going to begin belatedly realizing Trump is both an inept moron and a dangerous autocrat. Our great civic challenge in these trying times will be calmly welcoming them aboard instead of primal-screaming in their faces.

Has the White House figured out yet that the Heritage Foundation doesn't know WTF they're talking about?

John Tower is spinning in his grave

save some smoke today for the reporters, pundits, and influencers who failed to convey the threat of Trumpism to their audiences and the voters who couldn't be bothered to make an informed choice last November

Susan Faludi talks about this in "Backlash" too: In the '80s tons of men were told 'we can't hire you because we have to hire a woman' even though companies weren't hiring very many women. Managers were just too chickenshit to tell men they weren't qualified.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

In addition to the Special Elections on Tuesday, #Virginia Dems are gonna need help this fall as well! The've eked out control of the state legislature, but that's at risk...and they need help to regain control of the Governor's office. Donate today: #Blue25 secure.actblue.com/donate/vablu...

Turns out the apathetic segment of our population really fucked us all. Be sure to remind friends and family that didn't vote that what happens next is as much their fault as the folks that wished to burn the country to the ground. www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2024/12/vote...

CHARLAMAGNE: “Is it an alien invasion?” PETE BUTTIGIEG: “No disrespect to New Jersey, I think it’s very unlikely an alien invasion would begin in New Jersey.” 👽 😮

Perhaps I've misunderstood all along and WaPo ownership views "Democracy dies in darkness" as aspirational.🤔

The press betrayed the American people by pushing a narrative of failure, deliberately ignoring the undeniable progress and successes achieved under Joe Biden’s leadership—all because they prioritize profit over truth and what’s best for the country.

I wrote about the coverage of the online reaction to the UnitedHealth CEO's death and how the media will always center those in power. If you've watched a loved one suffer and die from insurance denial, it's normal to wish the people responsible would suffer the same fate.

Yes. And you can substitute *so many things* where you put the word healthcare and the sentence would still be 100% correct.

The Biden administration was actually terrific on trying to de-enshittify life for consumers, and it's too bad they never wove that into a single story people could understand. Now of course Trump will try to undo it, and people will somehow find a way to blame that on Democrats.

The pain of what could/should have been still cuts like a swords edge! We got robbed! Twice!
