This is the era to take detailed notes on who the Business Idiots are. Every single person who bought into this at this scale has outed themselves as an untrustworthy individual with questionable taste

Gosh, it would have been nice to have a left of center Supreme Court that wouldn’t do any of this shit to trans kids, but I’m sure your concern about Hillary’s private email server was sincere and much more consequential.

77% of Democratic voters support abolishing ICE.

Any Democrat running for office who doesn’t call for abolishing ICE is wildly outside the mainstream.

We are at untold levels of delusional cope right now. These words are indistinguishable from the lofty dreams of being welcomed as liberators within Iraq back in 2002. You should never listen to a single thing these pundits say lmfao this is incredible. Ahistorical commentary is worthless!

The State of Illinois has eliminated over $1.1 billion in medical debt for our people as of this month.

Combined with our partners in Cook County, we’ve delivered nearly $2 billion in relief to over a million Illinoisans in all 102 counties – with an average of $1,200 per patient.

A lot of people epically failed to accept the basic reality that the 2024 election was an election with huge moral stakes and a clear right and wrong answer (for a wide range of reasons). They now are twisting themselves into knots to protect themselves from accepting that moral failing.

Remember what I was saying? $80 billion in debt with $30 billion in revenue (not profit) and a $15 billion market cap?

They're dead. Even if they panic and try to spin off all of the properties they just bought, they'll never come close to profitable.

This is why Netflix walked away.

Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.

Every single person insisting that 78 year old Janet Mills is too old to serve six years as a Senator so they have not choice but to support a Nazi wanted to give 79 year old Bernie Sanders eight years as President in 2020.

Ryan Grim currently accusing every private citizen who criticizes Oyster Boy of being a Democratic consultant.

I'm pretty sure Grim's tirades are intended to discourage other reporters from thoroughly vetting the left's new Nazi plaything.

Plainly, imo a lot of people are extremists in their own right. My way or nothing. It’s an individualistic American core value at this point. Alllll based on white supremacy. And nobody wants to address it lol

Trump is stuck in the 80s theory undefeated. He probably played Phantom over the loudspeakers while watching the attack wearing a thin tie

There were people who would arm a school bus with a bomb. His orders were not extraordinary. The risk was real.

We should not ask people to do these things.

Secretary of Defense Hegseth intentionally targets civilians. He would have us do this *by design*

The rules exist because of Hegseth.

I watched an interview with a reserve soldier who was deployed in Iraq (I think). He was manning a machine gun turret at a checkpoint. A school bus filled with children did not stop and he, by his orders, had to blow up a bus filled with children.

He was a kindergarten teacher.

"We didn't start this war, but we will finish it"

What the f*CK are you talking about?

You literally started this war by every available definition and metric in observable reality.

Truly starting to think Planter is an actual Nazi. Not just stupid.

My read on it is that Platner thinks he can't be an actual Nazi since he doesn't want a literal holocaust part 2. He just is suspicious of Jewish people, thinks there's a vast Jewish conspiracy, thinks his totenkopf tattoo is funny, etc. But he doesn't want to KILL them, so not a Nazi, in his mind.
