Something that is driving me nuts is the Republicans use a powerful tool in a ridiculous way and the democrats response is “well now we must never use the powerful tool because we might stoop to their level!!”

One President wildly exceeded his authority by forgiving some student loans; a different President barely scratched the surface of his authority by disappearing anyone he pleases without trial to a foreign gulag. Constitutional law is a serious intellectual enterprise.

There was a brief period in the 2010s where it seemed like actually genuinely useful conversations about men's mental health were happening, you know, about things like whether men know how to open up to their friends and loved ones about their issues, and now we're talking about insane incel shit.

When the world loses confidence in the dollar, it will move on as quickly as the felon in chief did to destroy it. They do not have to put up with this nonsense and will move right on without us. Fat chance the U.S. will ever be in a position of leadership again. Impeach these people already.

Hey remember all those “centrists” going ballistic on atheists for daring to declare religion harmful and the prevalence of belief without evidence a hindrance in solving the problems that faced us? I hope you’re fucking happy, losers.

the thing that gets me about this point in particular is that the genie of our existence leaving the proverbial bottle was enough of a threat to the patriarchal order that a significant portion of the population voted to actively tear down the country down in response. our mere existence.

This Oregon MAGA activist posted a video with one of the "paid protesters" blowing the cover on the whole Hands Off thing. People in the comments were predictably outraged about the liberal brainwashing that's been exposed. The only problem is...the video they're posting was a SATIRE.

I can't get over this. Other countries do not pay tariffs. They are a duty, or tax, imposed on the importer. You are not collecting "export taxes" from other countries for shipping goods to you

This fencing event was the cherry blossom open that takes place every year in Maryland. It’s an OPEN, meaning folks fence off against everyone of all ages and it’s not divided by gender. My brother made a grown woman cry at this event one year when he fenced her.

Throughout the federal election campaign, I am going to be looking at elections from Canada's past. Today, it is the 1904 election! This election saw a then-record number of seats won by a party, and a new leader of the Conservatives whose time would come later. 🧵1/8

it's impossible to tell how legit these types of reports are because ultimately they're based on what one senile dipshit thinks and that could be basically anything. could be total kayfabe, could be completely real. this type of opaque court-politics kremlinology is inherent to autocratic regimes.

when you think about it, it seems pretty bad that the entire American government is run by a South African billionaire and the only reason he's able to do that is the giant media machine run by an Australian billionaire. I personally think we should not have these people in our country owning things
