It’s amazing how much better this soundtrack is than the movie it’s from.

ACAB and Defund The Police -- the two most destructive messaging efforts from sloganeers who don't actually want to fix a fucking thing and will, at every opportunity, alienate the entire electorate from actual police reform for the sheer pleasure of their own self-regarding purities.

Eat a dick.

My biggest problem with the left in the age of Trump is that they have been less concerned with stopping Trump than with maintaining their own power base in the coalition.

All these Epstein emails with horny intellectuals makes think of Goethe, 80 and revered and hopelessly chasing an uninterested 19 year old.

This is the core argument for a centrist take. Voters don’t want someone who hates trans people, but they don’t want trans women in womens sports or gender reassignment for minors either. To protect against the former requires compromise on the latter.

It feels like a lot of the boomer hatred is really based on their being the last group you can get points for publicly hating. Suggests even the righteous want someone to hate.

These are most people’s parents and grandparents. Why do you hate mom and dad and grandpa so much?

There are still morons yelling at her as a racist cop tyrant who are arguing over the tattoo … people must be able to see through this by now.

I’ve started wondering if it’s a personal failing that none of my posts have been labeled rude. Some of them have been very intentionally rude!

If none of my posts are labeled as rude, is that a good thing or a failing?

I understand this sentiment but would still rate Kevin McCarthy as the weakest due to his difficulty in 1) getting elected and 2) passing anything.

Adolescent slang is perfectly penetrable. It’s frequently stupid but it’s easy to understand.

There are some politicians I will consider giving money to but it’s not anyone running for governor in Virginia or California because I don’t live in either of those places.

It did gives me insight into where they bought their lists from.
