Yeah, well…there are a lot more of us than there are them.
If people would get their heads out of their asses and start fighting for meaningful up vs down issues instead of silly left vs right culture war BS, we could still make it happen.

So…I’ll get healthcare that won’t bankrupt me and won’t be dependent on my job, the ability to retire before my mind or my body break down, and a functional social safety net so that I won’t be homeless and hungry if life throws me a curveball?
Fuck yeah, I’m willing to pay more taxes for that.

The US has needed serious immigration reform for generations. But Republicans like having a backup topic they can use to keep their primary base riled up and Dems never want to invest the political capital to adequately address the issue. 🤷♂️

When the “thin blue line” is assaulting peaceful protestors, shooting foreign journalists with rubber bullets and trampling compliant suspects with horses…I don’t give a fuck about those on the “thin blue line” anymore.

The “diversity of thought” found on other social media platforms is highly overrated. Sometimes, we need a break from bots, trolls and just vile assholes in general.

BlueSky is still my go-to platform to actually interact with people. There’s a lot more happening on FB, Threads & X. But the legions of bots and trolls make it a chore. Things aren’t always rainbows and unicorns on BS, but they are always more authentic. And that counts for something.

Trump 1.0 was a dumpster fire, and that was *with* some grownups in the room to redirect him when he got too crazy.
Trump 2.0 has no such guardrails.

I mean, I don’t really have any friends, either. That doesn’t mean I don’t want more time off.

Nobody said Trump & Co gave a damn about collateral damage in the spectacle, just that he was never seriously the target.

Drop the real bomb of how you rigged the election, Musky. Trump being a creepy pedo is common knowledge.

You do understand that he’s pissed because he wants the budget to be MORE draconian toward us serfs, not less, right? It’s important to me that people understand that. Musk didn’t get visited by three ghosts this weekend. He’s mad that they didn’t cut more services and benefits.

He thinks it’s bad because it isn’t cruel ENOUGH, not because he wants a better outcome for anyone. Important distinction.

It’s like a Freddy vs Jason scenario. No matter which villain wins, we all still lose.

SCOTUS is desperately hoping that public outrage or cholesterol or fairies solve the problem before they push into a potentially violent Constitutional crisis.

Well, when you’re going to ambush a hotel maid from Guatemala and her elementary school aged kids, you need the appropriate amount of shock and awe, you know?
Or something. I dunno. Makes no damn sense to me, either.

So, you’re saying an out-of-shape 78 year old man who lives on a steady diet of junk food has the healing factor of Wolverine? The same guy who was too chickenshit to even join the NY Air National Guard during Vietnam has the courage to ham it up for the camera in the face of mortal danger?

I could have named half a dozen other Dems I might have preferred if Biden didn’t steamroll the primary and then flake out.
But in the general between Harris v Trump? I voted for her without a moment’s hesitation. Because I’m not a racist idiot. And I remember what a dumpster fire Trump 1.0 was.

Nah, kid saw No Country for Old Men and didn’t want to risk having a hit out on his life. Can’t say that I blame him.

How's DEI for mediocre white men working out?

Man…trying to make sense of all that gave me a headache.
I had been a huge Doctor Who fan for years, but drifted away after Jodie Whittaker’s first season. I liked her spin on The Doctor, but the writing had become an incoherent mess.
Doesn’t seem like it’s gotten any better since then.

I mean, we’ve already proven that we can’t be trusted. Why *would* they tell us?

Maybe not giving people a good reason to launch drone attacks on your airfields is a better starting point? Invading sovereign countries generally doesn’t end well. 🤷♂️

They’re “considering it” in the same smiling-politely-but-backing-away-slowly sense that you “consider” your neighbor’s crappy MLM scheme of the month.

It’s just a bad rehash of Reagan’s SDI/Star Wars program. And it’ll eventually end up with the same fate.

Ironically enough, DEI also includes those over-50 MAGA veterans who whine and bitch…about DEI, not realizing they’re shooting themselves in the foot.

In more ways than one. Sure, there’s the obvious “down the rabbit hole” folks who have fully invested in extremism and conspiracy theories. But I would argue that social media has cooked most (if not all) of our brains in terms of our ability to focus deeply and have functional attention spans.

Thing is - the tariff isn’t steep enough to make moving iPhone production to the US financially viable. It’s annoying, to be sure, but it doesn’t change the calculus of where to make them.
It’s just an indirect tax hike on the working and middle class to help fund his tax cuts for the wealthy.

It is, however, the most versatile of mustards. Sure, there are applications where plain yellow mustard feels a little weak. But there are more times where the wrong specialty mustard would be gross. And really, how many bottles of different mustards do you want have open at any one time?

Not getting sick from otherwise preventable illnesses is, in fact, in my best interests.
Someone please revoke this quack’s medical license. 🤦♂️

Maybe. But anyone still supporting this dumpster fire of an administration has proven that they’re willing to be fleeced over and over, indefinitely. So, it’s hardly shocking.

It’s not about bringing manufacturing back to the US. That might be the stated goal. But if he meant it, the number would be prohibitively high and he wouldn’t consider bargaining.
This is about making the working and middle class pay for tax cuts for the wealthy. Full stop.

Hold my beer.
Clown Prince Trump.
Come and get me.

Ok, beer or wine out of a straw is a little weird. But that has more to do with the drinks themselves than any gender norms. Any other drinks? Fair game for straws.

Beat you to it. I’ve been ashamed since January.

While it’s possible that he is just a moron with dementia, I would argue that it’s equally as likely that he’s intentionally gaslighting everyone about his true intention of rolling out a de facto sales tax increase on the working and middle class to help pay for his tax cuts for the rich.

Because a solid quarter of the US population would gladly eat broken glass & goose shit pudding and wear a Trump-branded dog collar if it “owned the libs”.

Most American cities are explicitly designed for cars first and people a distant second.

I would ride the bus if we had a functional mass transit system where I live here in NE FL. But the buses are just punitively inconvenient and inconsistent. It’s not unusual for a trip that’s a 20 minute drive by car to take 2 hours by bus. You can get around faster by bicycle most of the time.

It was a decent first step, but we need to keep going until Tesla is a hollow shell that gets scrapped for parts by a PE firm and Musk has gone into seclusion because he can’t show his face without someone chucking a tomato at it.

Ike was the last Republican president who wasn’t a complete and total shitweasel.
comment in response to

SCOTUS ruled that the president can’t be held criminally liable for official actions, but he still has a Constitutional duty to abide by court rulings. This provision prevents contempt orders from the judiciary , which basically nullifies their check on executive powers at the time of exercise.

What does a 78 year-old smell like? Depends.

Nah, release an album with them doing covers of one another’s songs, maybe a couple of duets.
Beyoncé and Bruce Springsteen singing Ghost of Tom Joad and Black Parade together would be worth the price of admission.

Probably set the nutjob up as a patsy, leaving as minimal a paper trail as they could in the process and knowing full well that he’d die in the attempt.

Well, Mike, maybe you should have invoked the 25th Amendment while you had the opportunity and enough sane (albeit unlikable) grownups in the cabinet to support you? That window has passed and we’re all now paying the price.

I’m not sure if he legitimately doesn’t understand that her doctorate is in education and not medicine, or if he was just really coked out and somehow thought that was funny.
