The murder rate is on track to be the lowest in U.S. history due to President Biden’s executive actions & Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (signed into law on 2022 after Uvalde & Buffalo) that included community violence intervention programs. The Trump administration had nothing to do with it!

i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of β€œaffirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

fundamental part of 2024 is that people didn't believe that trump was going to do the things he was explicitly saying he was going to do

The last thing on earth that Trump ever wanted was to β€˜cut waste, fraud, & abuse.’

DOGE’s entire reason for being was to cut legitimate expenses and re-route the money so that Trump could abuse & waste it.

The truth: Trump does NOTHING that’s good for Americaβ€” only for himself.

Let's be extremely clear that trans folks and immigrants are their banner scapegoats and that the rest of us have a daily-deepening moral obligation to fight back against what is absolutely a genocidal project targeting these populations

Ollie would somehow find a way to accidentally lose the election for Mamdani while trying to help, then call Hal a cuck when Hal suggests that maybe going on a drunken rant in a viral video about how Zohran was going to abolish the police and put those piggies against the wall was a bad idea.

I just am completely baffled at how few journalists for mainstream media organizations have anything but a super fuzzy understanding of what I consider to be basic history.

Gotta keep chasing those "moderate" Fox News views, right?

Because, "Trust us. That's how we win elections! Something that we are clearly very good at, as evidenced by the state of the country. Blue no matter who!"

β€œfox news refuses to book democrats over trumps epstein ties” would give this story 5 more days of hype, but then i guess fox news viewers might get mad at you so i can see how its a tough choice

i doubt they’re able to do this before the midterms and not sure they’re able to do it at all but it’s worth saying: this would be one very big step towards ending democracy while still holding β€œelections”

This isn't hyperbole. He thinks he's culling the weak from the human race.

I'll save you some time right now: You will not debate RFK into caring about the people he's killing. No narrative or fact will make his heart grow 3 sizes. He knows what he's doing. Spend your energy on something else

LOL. Ghislaine Maxwell also said Jeffrey Epstein never did anything disturbing around her! That's how she caught two perjury charges.

The idea of a "liberal bias" in media, in academia, and in reporting is a creation wholly of movement conservatives in the decades after WWII, particularly of rich men who threw money at promoting the idea. It worked. Now, reality has a "liberal bias."

He's too ignorant to know the term lese majeste, but that is functionally what he believes in and has instituted. The policy of the US government is that it is a crime to criticize, insult, or otherwise say anything negative about him, including before he was ever president.

NiemΓΆller was asked by his concentration camp cellmate why he had ever supported Hitler and the Nazis. Reportedly, this is what he had to say for himself:

This is the thing, isn't it? It just feels like we're watching them try and balance all these spinning plates. Except the only thing actually keeping these plates from crashing down is vibes. And they keep adding more plates, so no one notices that they're also robbing the safe.

Trump getting elected has made me feel like one of those dudes who walked down to the recruiting center the day after Pearl Harbor, except when I got there I was told that the war was a distraction and I should focus on cost-of-living concerns

The DOJ says it will investigate a US citizen for saying β€œfuck Isr**l” to a guy in an IDF shirt.

Absolutely the most anti-free speech admin of my lifetime. Probably since the Red Scare, if not earlier.

People want jobs that support decent housing, a vacation or two a year, time to spend with friends and family and have creative hobbies, and good health care.

What we've been given as all of those things have been ripped away is a shopping addiction.

With the firing of Erika McEntarfer, her probable replacement John Baron said we expect subsequent jobs reports to show amazing growth. "Growth like nobody's ever seen before." Independent analyst Ron Vara concurred, adding, "this is just one of a string of Nobel worthy moves by Trump"
