Vocal, blanket doomerism is not a dignified or honorable way to move through life

saying it again: if there are "conditions" on aid to california, no democrat should vote for any disaster aid of any kind to any state. all states get aid or no states get aid. that's it

Oh my fucking God

“Musk: ‘Yeah. Um. so. Yeah. So. Yeah. I mean. Really.’” “He appears to be trying to start a sentence. Eventually he breaks down laughing. Someone in the crowd cheers, he turns to them.” www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

i think there should be a government official whose job is to cinch a black bag over a president's head and drag him in front of congress to beg for his life if he says this

Trump take car

Trump slump

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

By the way you don't have to repost grifters like Yashar, when the @wsj.com is right here on this site

Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

"it is a party's job to earn your vote" rather than "participating in the government of a republic is a citizen's duty" is just decadence.

This is in fact a real picture and it will work nicely in the ads next year about the military families devastated by Elon's illegal firings.

Smart move by Judge Ho to bring some adversariness to this affair. And wow, Clement is the perfect choice www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/n...

It's fascist takeover 101: first you piss off the bureaucracy, judiciary, and intelligence services, then you slash the military busget by 40%, then you destroy welfare, then you tank the economy, then you reign supreme for a thousand years

Gov. Hochul: "Think about this next time you're stuck in traffic." www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhFl...

Up with the stars and down with the traitors. Long live the Republic. No north, no south. The Union forever. 🇺🇸

"New York hasn't labored under a king in 250 years" Hochul is not sounding tentative about defending congestion pricing.

"I would like to thank the king for answering my petition. As I have no rights as an independent citizen of a republic and our laws are not subject to a constitutional system, it is only the grace of the monarch that I depend on to yield the results I desire."

it's absolutely wild to shitpost about yourself being a king of a country whose entire foundational story of itself is centered on overthrowing the last person who deigned to call himself king on these shores

Going to be quite frank, I do not find anything about this “king” stuff to be funny in any form, don’t think there’s a place for us to just crack wise about it and pretend it’s normal, yes we are all irony-poisoned but if we don’t draw a line here then we have no line

How poetic would it be if next year, when America turns 250, we have to depose another king?

A US president calling himself a king demands an immediate Ninth Amendment response from every citizen.

Political liberalism has a lot of flaws but one of the cool things about it is how it's constructed around the insight that monarchy is a fundamental affront to human dignity 👍

Statement from Gov. Kathy Hochul via Twitter/X:

sic semper tyrannis

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"
