Here come the “town hall no-show’s”. #Wisconsin wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/02/21/r...

I literally have no idea how to explain to people That so many of the self-loathing women that they find on the Babylon bee or other right-wing media sites are just AI generated images whose speech is populated by online trolls paid by foreign actors

There's a top arrow for a reason...

NY Democrats would so easy to take down in NY Republicans weren’t so stupid and evil.

That’s the thing. They will ‘criticize’ Trump but will never admit that they for many years enabled the death of their of their own movement. American Conservatism is dead and Rothman, Goldberg et al are among those who held the knife.

"I never thought leopards would eat MY face," sobs people who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party The problem with a lot of these people is that, despite every warning, every statement from Donald Trump, despite everything his supporters said, they voted for this

Oh man, Republicans. If you thought that the Bush years made you a national embarrassment, then prepare to be socially exiled for several generations after Trump.
