'Sociopath!' Stephen Miller melts down as progressive podcaster mocks SOTU theatrics White House senior adviser Stephen Miller and former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau got into a heated Twitter exchange on Wednesday after Favreau dismissed Miller's dramatic reaction to Democrats sitt...

This was also a bit entertaining. I honestly think enough people poking directly at him could get him to literally tear himself in two in rage, like Rumpelstilskin

Always clarifying to hear politicians say this out loud. The truth is that the U.S. has always treated voting as a privilege, not a right, and still does today by blocking millions with past criminal convictions from votingβ€”to say nothing of the functional blocks it places on millions of others.

This is seriously going to be an issue for a lot of taxpayers before that.

Special elections have shown a strong swing, and it doesn’t seem to be fading. +30 in Texas would wipe out the GOP. They redistricted, expecting the same support as in the Presidential election, and weakened their position.

I really do think this is going to backfire *really* bad for the Kansas GOP - costing them the governor's office and their precious supermajority

Eventually we will win at the national level and wipe these laws away

Precisely. So of course target the immigrants, the gays, the trans, the most historically vulnerable among us. Go screech and lash out in your aggrieved selfishness and bloodlust because your souls long ago fled your husks of a body.

it's also the only fucking thing they have left. it's not going after pedophiles, it's not "no more wars", it's not lower prices, and it's not better jobs. they have absolutely fucking nothing but neurotic screaming about anything that isn't a white male.

just about the only nice thing I will say about the New Jersey machine is they do fucking ride for immigrants and as a result The Worst Democrat You've Ever Heard Of (D-Italian-Only Country Club) wants to send at least a few ICE guys to prison

one of the stories of the day in NJ is the machine Democrat who wrote the bill gutting our state's public records law coming out swinging to the governor and the press alike about the state still being invested in an ICE contractor

I had a group of college students approach me after last night's action, all of them women, and they told me that they heard my chapter was the mover in the metro for getting shit done. They want to meet & see how they can help with policy side of things in Kansas. People are getting activated.

Red majorities in the legislature has them slamming the gas pedal. By no means do I mean to downplay how disgustingly cruel these actions are but the speed of their lawmaking speaks a lot to their present desperation. I don't think they fully understand what the fuck is coming for them after this.

I don't think people have really grappled with what the mass decline of violent crime in the US has meant for the economic ecosystem of superheroes, which is rapidly approaching a demographic cliff, as street-level crimefighting becomes a thing of the past, and avenues for promotion dry up.

Curtis Yarvin comes across like a 40 year old wannabe school shooter who was too scared of guns and the police to actually do it so he's dedicated his life to trying to kill as many people as he can purely through perfectly legal typing.

does Joyce Carol Oates know of Yarvin

or has this woman ever snagged the attention of Musk

because I feel that a tag team effort here could cause actual Scanners-like heads exploding and how can we abet this

Like on the left we fundamentally don’t care about β€˜crime,’ it’s morally uninteresting to usβ€”it’s just a thing that happens in the world, like the weather, so we are willing to excuse mentally people for theft, violence, etc.

Curtis you can’t tell that I’m critiquing this tendency even though I’m framing it in plainly ungenerous terms, because you lack theory of mind because you are a mental toddler

They’re not, which is why the only acceptable solution is to burn the Republican Party to the ground and salt the earth where it stood. Not one stone left atop another.

This is the reason the rest of the world is cutting us off as well. What’s the point of negotiating with us when nothing means anything beyond the presidency during which it’s introduced? Why bother establishing relationships or maintaining them if we go around the twist every four years?

You don't come back from that without everyone involved facing consequences at the floor level being removal from office and then probably prison.

DOGE broke this for me. Just wide scale looting and clearly illegal restriction of funds. If congress/the media/broader public couldn't get upset about the president unilaterally withholding congressionally appropriated funds then nothing matters anymore...
