What the fuck is wrong with Democrats

It's Girl Scout Cookie season, but don't forget that depending on where you live, you might be getting the superior cookies from Little Brownie Bakers (REAL Samoas) or the inferior ones (Caramel Delites). Also, the LBB thin mints are in every way superior.

Farmers had paintings of their animals commissioned centuries ago and always wanted them painted real chunky. I like the idea of some farmer having people round, pointing at a painting and saying "yeah I had that done, that's my actual pig, he's the fattest guy".

X: it’s where the conversations happen (if they allow them to)

What a shame. Teamsters deserve better than this.

I honest to god don't care that she tried to kill congestion pricing like 50 times if she's gonna behave like this.

I’m so sick of people saying this shit, especially elected officials. He’s the president. Declaring himself a king after issuing an order just the day before that says he’s the final authority on all laws isn’t a goddamn distraction.

This is why Democrats have the lowest approval rating among their own base since polling started. Absolutely pathetic.

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

It is 2029. Luka Doncic, 375 pounds now, is eating an open faced turkey sandwich during the first TV timeout of the 4th quarter of Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Experts wonder if he’s fat enough to win a 4th straight title. President Ocasio-Cortes has invaded El Salvador.

Rachel Maddow is interviewing Kathy Hochul––who has the power to unilaterally remove Eric Adams!––right now and her first five questions had nothing to do with him. The liberal media is *complicit* in this absurd situation.

“MaYbe shE’s goiNg to be in TroUble nOw” Maybe he can learn to read. The Constitution would be a good place to start

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

this motherfucker makes like a quarter million dollars a year to go on camera in the middle of an all-out fascist coup and shrug

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Do the people who doTurboTax commercials know that TurboTax is the reason Americans can’t file their taxes for free

Snoop Dogg and Brady in an anti hate commercial even as they both support Trump, a racist. LOL.

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch

Remember as you watch all of this that Democrats decided they couldn't raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour because the Senate parliamentarian said no

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

Me, smirking at the bear devouring my flesh: So you actually can’t do that it’s illegal. Focus on economics

Hard to think of anything more worthless than the Democratic Party right now. Like a vestigial organ that does nothing and may, in fact, help kill you.

An embarrassment of riches

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Sorta pitch-perfect Bidenism: take a high-profile Trump stunt, turn it into bipartisan law in the name of national security, defend it to the hilt until queasily attempting to walk it back last minute, then let Trump reverse his original position in a way that is both popular and corrupt

This is going to drive a LOT of people into the arms of the movement Biden calls "fascist." And it was entirely avoidable, like so many of his blunders.

Biden endorses the TikTok ban, Biden pressures Dem lawmakers to back the TikTok ban, Biden signs the TikTok ban into law, Biden has his administration defend the TikTok ban in court. Liberals: Trump did this! 😭

Another example of how the Democrats would rather empower Republicans than the Left.

Biden in his final foreign policy speech declares "America...is no longer at war." A week ago he notified Congress of an $8 billion arms package for Israel

Jack Smith has resigned. AG Garland now needs to grow a pair of balls and release the entire Smith report. Yes, there are remaining defendants in the docs case, but Trump will pardon them.
