That is more or less the inevitable result of half a century worth of the left having no guiding light beyond "America bad and everyone against America good" The two worlds possible for the left were the ones where Parenti and Chomsky got kicked to the curb in the '90s or this, and they chose this

Seriously. What is the outcome you expect? Does 12 million people in the streets trigger some sort of double-secret clause in the Constitution that overturns the election? Or does, what, the United Federation of Planets step in?

Finally. Jesus. Not one human being on the planet should have been defending him since Jan 6, 2021 at the latest. But I’d go back as far as “Grab ‘em by the pussy.”

There was a certain irony to Gym’s post on the House Judiciary Twitter account linking “Epstein Files” to a Rickroll.

Will Maga ever figure out that they are being played w/ the Epstein files? All the delays, misdirects and “Phase 1” w/ social media influencers gimmick are designed to protect Trump, who was Epstein‘s wingman, was sued for rape w/ him and was photographed w/ him more than anyone.

Zelensky defended his nation while giving it right back to Trump, a liar and traitor. Trump will never get over having his ass handed to him on live TV.

The hard thing is that, like most anti-anti-Trumps, Douthat gets it. All of it. That said there’s usually at least one thing that keeps them from disavowing him completely and it’s usually a paycheck, which imho makes it all that much worse. Not sure if that’s Douthat’s thing or something else.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

You voted for a corrupt sexual predator who assaulted multiple women and even admitted it on tape. What did you think would happen?

It’s a huge shift from his first term, where always wanted to look strong and admired. He was the neediest person. He sucked so much wind trying to seem alive when he came home from the hospital. I really am unsure what’s different.

Akiva is right. If you were on a message board in the early 2000s you’re not surprised how much the internet broke some ppl

The fact that social media weirdos on the right set the agenda not unlike the left in 2015-21 is indicative that the right is hellbent on making the same mistakes progressives did in the late 2010s

So many have so much to learn. There’s a reason I place the start of his meltdown in late 2017. That’s when the Model 3 ramp and Grimes/Amber love triangle was going on. That said drugs and social media have made it worse. Most of #TSLAQ had the realization around that time.

Any foreigner who has the money to be able to buy a green card for $5 million likely would not do so, because he would then become a tax resident of the only country that taxes his income worldwide, wherever it is earned and wherever he lives.

An X account, operated by ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, and first created in 2012, has posted hateful, xenophobic, and pro-fascist content. The Observer linked Rodden to the account through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Yup. This is the kind of bullshit I’ve been trying to fight for years. Democracy just isn’t that important to Americans. They want a king, just one that does what they want.

There have been two periods in the past century when we did not know who the head of government in the United States was. The first was Jan. 7-20, 2021, when we believe it was a triumvirate of Pence, Milley, and Pelosi, de facto dictators for guaranteeing the transition. The second is now.
