After latest release country should move on to Epstein trials.

This is what leadership looks like.

One of the stupid things about the Epstein files is people keep pretending we're going to find in them the facts the victims, who are also the witnesses, have been testifying to for years and years. We already know. Of course he doesn't want to. Of course X is its own child-abuse nexus.....

Mass layoffs outlined by the likes of Amazon and UPS meant last month was the worst January for job cut announcements since the Great Recession, new data showed. https://cnn.it/4rvq5XI

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

After much consideration....

I realize now I have no way of coming back at this.

Right-wingers are always whining about George Soros this and that, but as of today, Elon Musk had 104 times Soros's wealth, and spent more money to sway the 2024 election than anyone has ever spent on any election in the history of the world. So all those Gomers can fuck right off.

C’mon, Professors, Assign the Hard Reading College kids aren’t reading novels—but that’s because not enough teachers are asking them to.

“At some point over the past 15 years, kids stopped reading”—but that’s because not enough teachers are asking them to, Walt Hunter writes:

In between all the fascism, it's also a MASSIVE crime wave.

Senator Thom Tillis @SenThomTillis A sycophant is more than just a "yes-man." It refers to someone who acts excessively servile toward someone important in order to gain an advantage. They aren't just being nice, they are using excessive flattery, often insincerely, to get what they want, whether that's a promotion, social status or favor. Some characteristics: The motive is self-interest. They aren't praising you because they like you; they're doing it because you have something they want. The behavior is over the top fawning, or constant agreement (including when you're wrong). Common Synonyms: toady, flunky, bootlicker. Some parallels for movie buffs: Grima Wormtongue (the Stephen Miller of Lord of the Rings) is an advisor to King Theoden. He uses whispers and false flattery to control the King’s decisions, all while secretly serving Saruman. He is a classic example of a sycophant who uses his position to poison a leader's standing for his own benefit. Dolores Umbridge (the Kristi Noem of Harry Potter) is an example of a bureaucratic sycophant. She is terrifyingly sweet while she is around those she considers her superiors and she sucks up to authority to gain the power she needs to bully those "beneath" her. 9:42 PM · Jan 30, 2026 · 1.5M Views

Oh, this Wormtongue thing is catching on!

"I look at how Pretendians and Descendians create an illusion of paucity or scarcity in order to gain the limelight. Many of them claim to be the first Indigenous person to receive accolades or prestige or power in whatever field they establish themselves in."

I told my wife about the first pics from the Highlander reboot, with Henry Cavill, & explained in a long monologue about the plot doundtrack, etc. After about 15 minutes, as I ended, she said, "Okay. Kilt or no kilt?" I said, "Oh there'll be kilts." She said, "Great. You could have led with that."

Ilhan Omar: “In the 4 years when Biden was president, my death threats went to almost zero — now they are back up — so there is a clear correlation between his presidency & the political violence that we see & the political danger that a lot of members of Congress & electeds feel across the country”
