Newsom, Pritzker, et al are doing everything they can to get Americans to comprehend that the U.S. is a failed democracy, but they won't succeed because Americans are steeped in American Exceptionalism, i.e., the U.S. is a beacon, the greatest nation in the world, etc. They won't believe it.

Absolutely perfect. If ever there was a kid who one could be absolutely assured would be a psycho when he grew to adulthood, it would be this kid.

Completely agree.

Honestly, I've invoked the Macbook Wheel analogy multiple times over the years. An absolutely sublime piece of satire that holds up beautifully to this day. **chef's kiss**

Love you, but that's not actually accurate.

With rare exceptions, MAGATs can't hide behind their wealth. He's not an exception.

Of course. It has always been thus, and justifiably so.

"Pound sand." You're channelling my mother, b. 1914--one of her favourite expressions. The polite precursor to "go fuck yourself."

Certainly would feel a little bit less of a disaster if it were really Tom Hiddleston leading the charge.... /s

ICE's phones'll be ringing off the hook. "Brown people who don't speak English...."

Hey, @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com!! Where are your stories on the Qatari Air Force base to be built in Idaho? You don't think you should bump a little of your coverage from this morning and dedicate some space to this? #uspoli #cdnpoli

Thank you. You saved me the effort.

Meanwhile, renting generates exactly $0 for renters. Period.

No, that's not how generational wealth works. You're assuming that people stay in the same house and don't sell it at points in their lives. That's not how people live anymore. They buy, sell (generating wealth), buy again, etc. So, it's not an inheritance of a home that generates the wealth.

10.10.2025 19:02 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

No, it's not. Ideally, people own the homes where they live because ownership creates generational wealth. Renting does not.

It's all about the $$$. We can't provide health insurance to Americans, but we can provide $20 billion to Argentina for shits & giggles, and we can build an air force training base for Qatar on American soil. So fucked it's not funny.

Yup, and ICE, which is now a militarized police force with jurisdiction, apparently, everywhere. It's a disaster.

This. At least Murphy gets it and is trying to wake up the somnolent American population. #uspoli #cdnpoli

No, he didn't. The whole thing is ridiculous.

They don't like nonconformity. Anyway, we'll see. Let's check back in November, 2026 and see how many congressional elections are challenged in the courts/declared invalid by the Trump admin.
