When the articles of impeachment are written I want verbatim passages included from the Declaration of Independence with each line followed by "like the tyrant King George III"

Pretty much everything here is true, but I still think Congress would shut this down anyway if not for fear of Trump-sanctioned MAGAt violence and Elon's money

You might think the penguin research station in Antarctica was built to study nearby penguins, but Occam's Razor suggests the research stations are creating the penguins

Not to be glib but this plan has a major flaw which is thinking Vance could win a presidential election. There is clearly a soft spot amongst some for the fun jock Italian style fascist, but Vance is firmly in the creepy sterile German fascist camp that routinely underperforms for the GOP.

If this happens the Iranians will violently disrupt the Strait of Hormuz and take 20% of the world's supply of oil off the market, so this does appear to be in line with Trump's apparent strategy of destroying the world economy

I realize there are so many problems around these tariffs that this isn't always stated, but if any of this actually happens it'll be a consumption tax replacing an income tax which would be horrifically regressive and that might be a useful thing for Dems to mention

Look, I don't want to get into a whole thing abt engagement farming and how that leads to distorted senses of reality and undermines our ability to choose the correct battles but this tweet was about ISIS, it quoted a post about a strike on ISIS, and this person made a choice when she cropped it out

I feel like there's a pretty straightforward way to do this even if you're a Norm Enjoyer, which is to say something like "you know I can speak and act diplomatically, and I would love nothing more than to get back to that. But that's not where we are right now, so you're getting this version"

The funniest part of this is that there is no better indicator of someone trying to artificially become an "influencer" account than them having roughly equal numbers of Followers and Following. Like, every Facebook boomer meme post on here is posted by someone following >eight thousand accounts

It sucks so hard that we're going to need to full-palm the stove to get there but it's probably necessary in order for us to have the political will to Kindly Do The Needful when this is all over

Chatbots also have a very real, measurable phenomenon where they get lazy during holiday periods. Having said that, this is all still like looking into a mirror and thinking the image is another person

The last time the renewal of the Civil Rights Act was being debated, we should have instead been debating whether or not it was yet time to end the federal occupation of the south

One problem with this finding is that people in precarious employment situations are often in those situations because they're antisocial assholes who can't work well with others. So are they RW because of the employment situation, or is it because they're antisocial assholes?

The thing about Realism is that it's generally pretty good at predicting how states will act. But it doesn't have to be fatalistic. Like, oh, Russia will be upset by NATO expansion? Well, fuck them, we're doing it anyway

False. This chart uses the spelling of the King's English, betraying that these are all British positions, which makes these all mental disorders.

I suspect US libs will come around when the red president has made the economy bad, yes. He's already working on that. The economy seems bad to you because you can't afford housing but you oppose the fix for that because someone might make money doing it.

This issue is almost always framed as keeping religion out of government but it ought to also be incredibly important, at the very least if you are religious, to keep government out of religion. The Integralists are just too stupid to imagine a world where it wouldn't be them in charge.

The funniest thing about Trump suspending enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act is that fancy business people with fancy lawyers will know the statute of limitations is 5 years so it'll be a bunch of fuckin magat dipshits who get prosecuted for it in year one of the Pritzker presidency

Dude. He is obviously laying the ground for it to be absolutely clear that the GOP controls the government and owns any shutdown if one happens. He obviously has leverage because the GOP itself does not have the votes. I promise you he knows this. But you don't SAY that.

This is a lot of words from the White House for "increase unemployment" and typically the only mechanism policy makers have to do that is "raise interest rates". Bold move, let's see if it works out for them
