How can the government barge into your home with guns is an interesting question to ask of the people who intend to deport millions of Americans.

A thing that gets lost in the Jan 6 horribleness was that it was the deadliest day of the pandemic to that point. Over 90,000 Americans died of Covid that January because Trump buried his head in the sand and lied to us.

Cohn did this CYA thread. He expresses complete uncertainty, “no idea.” And yet the NYT reporters use his polls throughout the cycle to report story after story about the electorate and the candidates’ strengths or weaknesses as fact. Do he not see the problem here?

It is especially enraging that Elon Musk can claim he’s simply too busy and important to appear in court to answer for trying to illegally rig US elections, and that he’s allowed to get away with it instead of being hunted through the streets like the shit-stained feral hog he is.

Have any of the articles about Biden's "garbage" comment mentioned that this speaker at Trump's racist NYC rally called the entire Democratic Party a bunch of degenerates, lowlifes, and Jew haters? Has Trump been asked about it?

“Hello, yes, Madame Vice President I am an undecided voter, and while I fully recognize that your opponent has vowed to ‘incinerate’ my immediate family in ‘murdercubes,’ I’m worried that if one day I become a billionaire, I might not be able to afford a seventh superyacht, can you address this?”

What a terrible statistic. When a state legalizes online sports gambling, household bankruptcies go up 25-30%. And the effects are worse for men living in low-income counties.

The far right have completely stopped worrying about dropping the mask and removed it completely. They are now openly admitting that it was never about legality or about legal immigration. It was always about white power and using reactionary terror against minorities.

Hey, @washingtonpost.com, what the fuck is this? Do we really need to be hyping abortion misinformation and targeting abortion providers for harassment right now? Classing something as 'opinion' doesn't mean you get to abandon editorial responsibility and this is irresponsible.

Trump tells a Jewish group the Jews will be to blame if he loses: "I will put it to you very simply and gently: I really haven't been treated right, but you haven't been treated right because you're putting yourself in great danger."

Having autoplay as the default for videos is a REALLY bad move. You can disable autoplay for videos — it’s in the “Accessibility Settings.” (While you’re there you can also enable “require alt text before posting” if you haven’t yet)

According to Senator Vance, the people of Springfield were suffering an epidemic of pet abductions and -- rather than call the Springfield PD, which says it never got any reports of this -- they reached out to the office of one and only one of their U.S. Senators. Sure, that definitely happened.

Immigrants stealing and eating pets is a racist trope that’s been around for literally more than a century. That at least two US senators, the GOP VP nominee and the world’s richest twit fell for it tells you that they aren’t just bigots, they’re the simplest, dullest variety of bigot.

The vast amounts of caution and deference shown to Trump have done nothing to bolster the legitimacy of these investigations. The only thing deference has accomplished is making it easier for him to permanently end all of the investigations if he wins in November.

An important thing to note is that every time Trump denies raping a woman, he never says it’s because he’s not a rapist, he says it’s because she’s not his type.

Elon Musk clearly believes that he personally directs the actions of the United States government and I think it should disabuse him of this notion - and the influence he does have - posthaste he is a threat to the security of more than just our nation at this point

a good reason not to do interviews with news outlets (who mostly want trump to win the election) is that instead of you controlling that day's message theyre gonna ask you like "would you appoint a republican to your cabinet" where either answer hurts you and then promote that answer as a big story

When he pulled out one box of Tic Tacs, I thought he might be about to make the actual cogent point that food manufacturers are absolutely providing less food in the same sized box in the hopes that we don’t notice or something, but instead he pulled out a regular and travel sized box of Tic Tacs.
