I would like to take a sec and acknowledge Cory Booker has been getting it right a lot more lately.

If there’s one thing I could change about things it’s all the evil stuff but also, and connected to it, is how often I have to hear about a rich guys sperm

The Magicians is a far superior series in every way but I will concede it is far less whimsical and delightful than HP. There’s also a decent amount of fucking, and a nonzero amount of rape.

Hey Democrats who are currently wringing your hands that “we can’t do anything because we don’t have power, what do you want us to do?” This. We want you to do this.

yes! this dude will back down to anyone who tells him to fuck himself! this is the only response worth having!

Pretty much everything this guy does that isn’t currently a crime needs to become a crime

Contrast how this is being discussed in contrast with the allegations of rape against Pete Hegseth.

weird how being proactive and generating friction leads to media coverage. hm. bsky.app/profile/fact...

Scientology, which obtained its tax exemption by harassing the IRS with private investigators and targeting individual IRS agents with lawsuits, still retains its exemption despite a raft of easily provable criminal conduct.

Apart from all the truly scary shit one thing I was not prepared for with the fascist takeover is how fucking stupid it is making everything and everyone.

The White House is claiming it can take away anyone’s rights without due process and throw them in a foreign prison forever. What could be higher stakes than that? *This* is the trap, you fool: Talking yourself into accepting the end of rights in America because standing up for them might be hard.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

this administration had no problems fishing andrew tate out of a romanian prison

“We’re too weak to demand one person be returned from El Salvador” is the Trump message and they should be pounded for being weak little shits. Ditto all his tariff backtracking. They’re weak, weird shits.

What Maher seems to not realize is that he is a mark, through and through. He himself is dumb and cruel and has made a career of pretending that means he is rational, logical, and better than everyone else, but it just means he is a mark.

The Rolling stone Elon piece was great and fun to read. My takeaway is that he is a loser among losers. The Trump administration is a bunch of dregs, and even they look at him and immediately clock that he is an obnoxious, pathetic man who is desperate for people to think he’s funny.

If Trump comes after you, and you have some resources—think law firms and universities, not foreign students disappeared for speech—then you have a moral and patriotic obligation to fight back. If nothing else, it ties up the regime’s resources. They don’t have that much. They need capitulators.

Why does the girl boss space trip seem almost anti feminist?

Number one takeaway from the insane turnout at fight the oligarchy rallies, while chuck schumer cancels his little book tour and gretchen whitmer hides her face, is that there is zero constituency for bipartisanship

lol and to think of all the weirdos on this app trying to run with this looter’s take and pretend the attempted legalization of the theft of labor is somehow progressive.

weird, what could explain this

hey remember when the media and the gop had a total meltdown because bill clinton had a 2 min conversation with an attorney general?

A second kid just died of measles.

The grease on the path that got the U.S. here was elite indifference to corruption. To see an orgy of insider trading or discussion of war plans on a chat app and say "hurr-durr, regular Americans aren't thinking of that" reveals a terminal case of inability to get the point.

democrats refusing to "beat people over the head" with information IS WHY WE ARE IN THIS FUCKING MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE

One of my wilder takes is that I have huge grudge against SNL post 2012 because I blame them for the current political situation. They let not just Trump but also Elon host and the results were culturally disastrous. By far the most damaging was Elon hosting.

This paragraph reads as such pure truth, I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the exact dynamic every time.

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

“Oh noooo what can we do” I mean there are a bunch of options actually, the first of which is that Congress asserts its authority to make laws and set tariff rates, but followed by more drastic steps like impeachment, 25th Amendment, or Section 3 disqualification We are not helpless here

Every season of White Lotus, there’s one line that stands out to me above all others. Season 2 was “These gays are trying to murder me”, Season 3 was “Hillary Clinton wrote 5 books”.

It was less important to them that there was a first Black president than ensuring that there would be a last one

Going to keep saying: a society that wants to keep its basic functioning has to discourage lying. rewarding it instead is suicidal

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school
