verily, I beseech you to like, follow and share forthwith

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

Data Center Dems need to wake the fuck up and realize that siding with Mark Andreessen and Elon Musk and Peter Thiel is political suicide, in addition to being just plain wrong.

Can't wait for The Pitt to get canceled and replaced with a stirring drama about the struggles health insurance executives face while bravely denying coverage to sick people who made them rich

Listen to Laura, and if people need selfish motivation to give a shit, in addition to being anti-trans bigoted bullshit you should oppose on the merits, this stuff is also a stalking horse for other TBD restrictions of Americans' freedom of movement. (See also attempts to ban travel for abortion.)

Reminder for people who might forget: Ryan is one of the journalists who used a white supremacist as a source for that Mamdani college application story, without revealing that the source was a white supremacist, which is fucking relevant to the privacy breach in the story!!

I made Lego Minifigures based on Carl, Katia and Princess Donut from Dungeon Crawler Carl. Yes Donut is a tortie and the lego long hair cat figure is white, I'll get around to painting it eventually)

Fuck ICE and please enjoy this work in progress Royal Court of Princess Donut (ala "Dungeon Crawler Carl," "The Dungeon Anarchist Cookbook") as Lego Minifigures.

(Sorry Mongo is in his carrying case while I figure out how to build him)

(yes I know Donut is a tortie I'll paint it at some point)

no i didnt expect merrick garland to lock up biden's political opposition but its clear he just let criminals get away with doing crimes

The person or institution who helps fascism is worthy of almost as much scorn as the fascists themselves. And that institution for the last decade has been the Democrats.

When Joe Biden told Trump welcome home it was a fucking betrayal. A betrayal of his campaign and of core American values. But we’re supposed to shut up about it cause it makes you feel bad? GTFO

there are too many lawyers and lawyer brained people at the height of democratic party leadership. prevents them from speaking like normal people.

Me, a U.S. citizen watching another country’s judiciary weigh capital punishment for a president who tried to overthrow the state:

It’s not that feminists think all men are terrible. We fall in love. We make commitments.

But we also know people have layers. He may have secrets. But also: people change. Maybe a once-great relationship falls apart.

But I do know one big sign he’s a bad person: he wants you dependent.

Just kidding THEY DON'T OWE US ANYTHING GROW UP

in part the answer is "because they see it work on majority rules except mysteriously when Dems are in charge."

Related: Maybe the reason stupid selfish voters think there's a magic off switch Dems could push to stop the bad shit is that there sure seemed to be a lot of those just a few years ago.

Following through on the horrible policies their voters voted for even if it means killing Americans. They did what they promised to do and they’re the only American political party that acts that way.

it's backwards. obama and biden conceded the republican framework of border obsession, sliding right and setting off a near-inevitable push to where we are today. once again the democrats triangulated themselves into becoming republicans, allowing republicans to publicly embrace explicit fascism.

Amanda is always good at locating the silver lining even in the bleakest darkest clouds, and I think this mini thread (and the article she links out to) is worth reading as a vaccine against doomerism.

I know, almost as surprising as when Chuck funds the government.

It's uh been pretty bleak seeing so many of these people run away from the fight even after it becomes obvious the fight is actually good for them as well as right.

Trump says he's still excluding two Democratic governors from WH meeting President Trump rejected claims from the National Governors Association that he agreed to open up a White House meeting to all governors.

I'm being a bit uh cynical here of course, entirely possible they may end up listening to their spines for once.

Trump backed down but then today un-backed down. HIlarious

Left unsaid, "And I'll be keeping these questions on the backburner during a civil, polite and hopefully fun meal with Trump at the governor's luncheon"

The fact that some democratic governors are going to visit Trump at the White House despite all that has happened tells you a lot about the rot at the root of the party. It isn’t even about Trump being petty and inviting only Republicans. The man is a monster who literally murders Americans.

really interesting to me how many professional political commentators have basically retconned the draconian immigration enforcement policies of Obama and Biden out of existence and have completely swallowed the right wing narrative of immigration enforcement

Title 42 migration restrictions have ended, but Biden’s new policy is tougher President pledged as a candidate to dismantle Trump’s hardline immigration agenda but new rules are more restrictive

Biden *went to court* to maintain Title 42 — an insane and, in my view, facially unlawful policy — for a full year after taking office. Then when he wound it down he moved to replace it with an even more stringent policy that was literally designed by Stephen Miller

The idea that this is all a backlash to some kind of Biden open-borders regime is premised whole-cloth on a falsehood, a deliberate lie that supposedly Reasonable Thinkers have adopted as truth. It's. just. not. true.

Just going to note again, because somehow we've all completely retconned this and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, that pound-for-pound Biden had one of the most draconian border security regimes of any U.S. president ever, second only to Trump, *many of whose policies he inherited and kept*

He got out after 3 months in an ICE gulag.

honestly worth it for the pretend back together at the start of Season 5 though

For real, the whole joke is it was a terrible idea and Ann knew it was a terrible idea the whole time.
