Similar to my post earlier, it’s important to remember that when conservatives talk up free speech, they’re just lying. The proper response isn’t a nuanced counter-argument, it’s: “You’re lying right now.”

If I teach you people only ONE political lesson from pro wrestling, let it be this: Dishonesty and earnest stupidity are in no way mutually exclusive Someone can simultaneously tell a conscious lie AND believe in it Failure to recognize this basic human fact impairs all other political analysis

We wrote about how Musk is using X as a propaganda tool to demonize each of the agencies and programs that DOGE targets for cuts, providing air cover for his engineers' incursions — with the truth as collateral damage. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2... w/ @drewharwell.com

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner

This is why so many Jews are skeptical of the national GOP claim of support — it rings hollow & opportunistic. Vance visits a Nazi concentration camp, lays a wreath at a statue stating “Never Again,” calls it an “unspeakable evil,” & then promptly meets with & promotes a German Nazi-aligned party.

I am so ashamed of my country right now. These traitorous thugs shouldn’t be anywhere near power yet Americans gave them absolute control of our government. Makes me nauseous.

The fact that the FBI didn’t hold a press conference announcing the largest seizure of self-made explosives in history tells you everything you need to know about race and ideology of the suspect. Wanna guess? www.nytimes.com/2024/12/31/u...

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

Dem point of attack hit a nerve. When Trump makes statements to media he needs to be asked what Elon thinks about the topic.

Trump owes his 2nd term to Musk, and he knows it. The billionaire’s purchase of Twitter may have been the death knell of our republic.

There’s a chance that GOP senators who resist Trump will experience the full authoritarian force of MAGA death threats & other aggressive harassment. Romney already spends $5k PER DAY to protect his family. While this is unfortunate, this is what these GOP senators signed up for by supporting Trump.

If Democrats aren’t out there screaming about “the Gaetz report” like it’s Hunter Biden’s laptop times 100, then they should just fucking say they give up.

Interestingly, Elon has been speaking regularly with Putin since just before he bought Twitter. At least, that’s what we know of.
