This guy & his Renfields perpetually act shocked at the most basic, civics 101 features of the American constiutional order, like they’re crazy novelties dreamed up just to stymie him. “What do you mean people have due process rights? Since when can judges tell the predident he can’t do stuff??”

NEW: Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves has declared April 2025 as Confederate Heritage Month. He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. 🧵

A few weeks ago, chemical lobbyists asked the Trump administration to shut down an EPA website showing the locations of thousands of dangerous chemical facilities. The EPA just took it down.

I thought this was an exaggeration. Nope. The man literally created a team of AI reporters and then tells one she’s attractive and then makes her tell him it was okay. It’s like a tragic short story written as an upbeat post about productivity.

Anyone who “instinctively likes” Hegseth needs a fucking lobotomy.

No one ever says a word against CEOs being “ideologically homogenous,” or landlords, or stock market brokers, or cops. That argument only ever goes one way. It was never about fairness, or we’d have a million New York Times editorials asking who’s keeping the socialists out of the police force.

This is deranged. Jan. 6 defendants were repped by one of the best public defender offices in the U.S. They were more likely to be released pretrial & got comparatively light sentences. SCOTUS threw out a bunch of convictions, which almost never happens. They got gold-plated due process!

bro they are turning your story into a parable about folly

Ah, the "Tic Tacs contain 0g of sugar" defence

There's some remarkable "I'm not mad" vocal work being done here, but I think it's high time Secretary Hegseth sits in front of Congress and explains why he has one really long sideburn and one normal-sized one. America demands answers.

There's no comic book magic quite like witnessing the fruits of your imagination become assets in a corporate bankruptcy.

Let me get this straight: Fringe extremist infiltrates a major political party, rises to the rank of Vice President, throws around diplomatic weight to force a meeting with the Pope, and then MURDERS said Pope? Folks. This is a Dan Brown novel.

lol

The Pope died doing what he loved: pretending God exists.

Great example for a health behavior where people will be like “everybody does X, it’s never going to change” until it actually does change within a rather short time span, from a historic perspective.

New orb dropped.

Starting one of those Facebook chain messages that says you have to post that they can’t make you the new Pope.

I don’t tell drug companies when to make drugs. What gives them the right to tell me when I can operate heavy machinery?

This reply format is the refusal of the premise gag that I’ve tried to explain, it’s a lazy humour heuristic that makes me unjustifiably angry, because there’s no way to play along and improv as it’s denied your premise, it’s lazy and pointless. It’s always an insta-block.

pulling out a big folder from my file cabinet that just says "pope jokes"

Starting to think AI is most efficient at making you feel like you were born in Hell.

Oh ok

the professional failure in question: the fact that the extremely common and accepted extrajudicial assassinations were caught on tape

Love when a chef refers to themself as “fearless.” Like, are those figs on that sandwich? Calm down, Napoleon

If you want to know why certain folks in the industry have been hating on Sinners, here ya go www.vulture.com/article/to-h...

hard to think of a book I wouldn't read if my life depended on it, but also can't think of a more ill-timed book release, my god, those whiny disingenuous babies/grifters Also, why does Cyan Bannister talk like AI

You thought it was so “adorable” to buy a bunny for your kid for Easter, but now look at you. Carefully shaving a rabbit to leave at a fire station’s Safe Haven Abandoned Infant box.

oh!

If I knowingly showed up to my clinic with a measles rash and, saw patients, infected some of them, I would lose my license to practice medicine or possibly face lawsuits. These days, that type of behavior gets the secretary of DHHS calling you a healer and a hero.🥴 We are is uncharted waters.

Nancy Mace wants the world to know that if they see her in public, they have every reason to fuck with her. And I think that's beautiful.

The story is worse than it looks: Border patrol turned this young man over to federal prosecutors, and in the criminal complaint attested that he “admitted to illegally entering the country” at or near Nogales, which is a whole hour from Tucson. Something … doesn’t add up. Here’s the complaint:

Let’s just grant the possibility these people were going to illegally work in the U.S. for a few weeks. I don’t think you could find any normal human to defend this treatment as proportional. Strip searched, handcuffed, given expired food and dirty mattresses. We’re such a garbage country.

Is the consensus among mainstream journalists that the White House slandering a man they delivered into slavery using a crudely manipulated photo in the president’s grasp in the Oval Office is just not a very newsworthy event?

it genuinely is funny how much people thought george w bush was dumb when he was really just terrible at public speaking. the last decade has understandably shown us that we didn't really know what it meant for a president to be dumb as shit

There are very uncomfortable echoes in the discussion about Abrego Garcia of questions people ask me about how I can "feel comfortable" defending "criminals" and "professional tenants" and "welfare queens" and "scammers" and "deadbeats." It's "yes people are entitled to a defense BUT..."
