Jesse Eisenberg was the perfect Lex Luthor for our current times and people were just mad that he didn’t fit their billionaire power fantasies.

I can’t decide if the idea that Stephen Miller might’ve gotten cucked by Elon Musk is gross or hilarious.

Elon Musk in particular shouldn't be able to shrug and walk away from what he's done to our government, if you want to run for office and a big part of your message isn't accountability for these weasels you can forget it

If you voted for Trump, yes you DID vote to deport moms. Own it and fix yourself.

This really shouldn’t have to be said, but driving up to a Jewish museum to kill some people doesn’t help Gaza in the slightest, and no one remotely sane person should be defending it.

In case anyone wasn’t aware, the only reason Elon Musk is criticizing the recent GOP spending bill is because he’s desperately trying to salvage his reputation. Please don’t fall for it. He was very much complicit in this. He just doesn’t want the public to know.

It sure is nice to know that the people running our country are a bunch of insecure middle schoolers!

NPR is suing Trump. Why? Because he slashed their funding just for doing their job—which is political retaliation. He’s trying to silence public media because they don’t bow down to his ego. News flash: the First Amendment doesn’t disappear just because you don’t like the coverage, Donnie.

The most painful thing about the new Mission Impossible is knowing it takes place in a world where someone like Angela Bassett could become President of the United States. Meanwhile, we live in a world where a senile felon and rapist beat an educated woman of color in the Presidential election.

Is the stock market seriously going to bounce back every time Trump pulls back from one of his stupid tariffs? How is this not considered market manipulation?

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Gee, what a surprise— immigrants who self-deported and were promised $1000 never received a single cent.

You will never please the people who think minorities in the workplace are some sort of insidious behavior. Even if DEI vanished tomorrow, these people would say it existed yesterday so the black person didn't earn the job. Because the majority of these criticisms aren't good faith.

I gotta be honest, as messy as The Rise of Skywalker is, I don’t think “somehow Palpatine returned” is as bad as it’s made out to be. That line is immediately followed by a character theorizing that Palpatine returned via dark science and cloning, which the start of the movie seems to support.

That’s the bird guarding Ivana’s grave.

Final Reckoning was good. The amount of flashbacks during the first hour or so were kinda distracting though.

I’m just gonna say it, I think Kamala Harris ran a far better campaign than Joe Biden did in 2020, so the fact that he won while she lost makes an even better case that misogyny and racism were working against her.

The reality of America’s admittedly flawed two-party electoral system means each person who: - voted for Trump - did not vote - or cast their ballot for ANYONE other than Kamala Harris ..is squarely responsible for Trump’s reelection, Project 2025’s enactment, and this nation’s impending downfall. 🇺🇸

What the hell is “spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun” supposed to mean, other than what it sounds like on the surface? Wasn’t this senile orangutan supposed to be the “anti-war” President?

If Harris had won, we’d be arguing over policy not bracing for constitutional collapse. No golden jets from Qatar. No meme coin galas masquerading as governance. Stoping corporations from charging $9 for ground beef. Imagine that. Sanity. Structure. A functioning republic. What a concept.

To be clear, I’m not even disputing that we probably shouldn’t have a bunch of 80+ year olds occupying Congress. However, we also need to acknowledge that the voters are the ones who are keeping them there. If people want that to change, then they need to do it at the ballot.

I’m hardly the first reply here to say this, but if you believe politicians are too old, then the obvious solution is to primary them and vote for their younger opponents. Being an elected official isn’t a lifetime appointment. You remain in office so long as the people continue to vote for you.
