Mamdani talking to and petting the bodega cat is also a winning element to the ad.

And how does anyone in national politics or who follows national politics not know who Jonathan Capehart is by name and sight?

Confusing him with Eugene Daniels is doublyโ€ฆ wow.

Yes. However, 50% of the countryโ€™s political & intellectual leaders base their entire arguments in lies & proven falsehoods.

There is no real โ€œconservativeโ€ position now that isnโ€™t lies.

One solution would be not to platform folks whose ethos is based in liesโ€”but that would be โ€œpartisanโ€!

I think so, too, with further detail. That theyโ€™re making the WH look more like MAL because he needs more familiar-looking surroundings due to dementia.

Tr*mp puts a lot of thought and care into shitter decor, whether it be MAL or the White House.

How much time is he spending in there?!? He may want to consult a doctor.

This is total incel framing. Sex as a commodity where some users are hoarding and keeping other users from getting a fair share. ๐Ÿคฎ

Is it weird to beโ€ฆ I donโ€™t knowโ€ฆ pleasantly surprised they included โ€œlegacies and donorsโ€ as part of their โ€œunmeritocraticโ€ policies?

Yes, this whole email is, of course, hateful and bigoted and wrong.

I understood your joke, and now Iโ€™m feeling super clever and superior!

I donโ€™t understand why anyone would admit to this.

Why not just say you outsourced your paid expertise to a Magic 8 Ball?

Republicans are talking nuclear option now because they do not envision a future where they are out of power.

Wait, is this why weโ€™re resuming nuclear testing? Because someone talked to him recently about the nuclear option?

Goddammit, choose your words carefully around him!

Well actually, white supremacy was really more of an alabaster supremacy. You seeโ€ฆ.

This is surprising only in that the chimps seem capable of advanced thinking beyond the skills of many humans.

If families *could* stockpile an extra month of food away on SNAP, Higgins would say that proves theyโ€™re receiving too much benefit.

Wow, this is pretty insidious. The administrationโ€™s message is clear: The reason you canโ€™t get Medicaid/Medicare, the reason your private insurance is affected, the reason your rural hospital is closing, the reason you canโ€™t get health careโ€ฆ blame a trans kid.

VPs have to be eligible for the presidency to run.

It makes no sense to be eligible for VP (a position that exists only as a backup president) if youโ€™re not eligible to be president.

This entire BS argument is designed to prevent corporations and other entities from waiting him out as a lame duck.

LLMs that have to be pushed to learn new information arenโ€™t really learning.

Maybe itโ€™s not *your* place to convince voters the candidate they find abhorrent is better than the alternative.

Maybe thatโ€™s the candidateโ€™s job.

Or maybe itโ€™s your job to push your preferred (or lesser evil) candidate to be the kind of person people will vote for.

Have you considered that?

AI/LLM surveils you and uses your body and creative output without your consent.

I can think of no historical reason why Black women would be wary. ๐Ÿค”

Aunts and uncles are any relatives not my parents/grandparents who are older than me.

Cousins are any people Iโ€™d see at a family reunion where I may or may not know how theyโ€™re connected to me.

I kinda love that this is the most damning scandal they could unearth during early voting.

Theyโ€™re proving the point of one key way Mamdani distinguishes himself from Cuomo, Sliwa and Adams.

Sean Duffy is afraid of subways. Pete Hegseth is afraid of facial hair.

Neither would be able to handle the Wesley Snipes/Woody Harrelson movie Money Train.

I read it (unless thereโ€™s a secret unlinked โ€œthreadโ€). Some folks disparaging Mills are racist & thoughtless.

But others have real problems w/ Dem leadership and how they fund, cultivate & boost talent.

I donโ€™t know much about Mills but what I do know is positive. But sheโ€™s too old for the seat.
