I think we have to admit that one reason there's no "liberal Joe Rogan" is that anyone on the left who actually starts acting a little wild, drawing a little attention, making a little fuss ... immediately draws shitloads of criticism & scolding from other people on the left.

tune in tomorrow for another exciting episode of The United States

Me trying to stay uninformed but also wondering if we are going to invade Canada and Greenland once Trump is president.

FENTRESS COUNTY: Pharmacist Philip Hall (fired by Walgreens in 2014 for refusing to sell Plan B) charged in multi-million fraud scheme— “false claims to Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare for medically unnecessary prescriptions, not dispensed, not ordered…” www.wvlt.tv/2024/12/23/f...

Wired for the GOP This column, by Alexander Burns, the head of news at Politico, is a rich example of the DC logic that only Democrats have agency and it’s only to Democrats that standards, norms…

"Democrats need to organize their future politics around the simple reality that the establishment media is structural hostile to the Democratic party."

Intraday quote for UnitedHealth Group in a WSJ story shows the stock is up more than one percent after the CEO of one of its business units was assassinated.

possibly the most coldblooded live bug I’ve ever seen

TRUMP: I’m going to use the FBI illegally to go after my political enemies!

BIDEN: Um, I guess I’ll pardon my son then because fuck that.

MEDIA: Biden is breaking norms!

Imagine a scenario in which a news program featured a weather report where the anchor turned to one reputable meteorologist who warned that the forecast called for dangerous twisters and cautioned viewers to immediately take shelter from the life-threatening storm. Then, immediately afterward, the same anchor turned to another meteorologist — this one from the fringes of the industry — who said it will be nothing but sunshine and blue skies. The responsible course of action would be for the anchor to inform viewers that the second meteorologist has a long history lying about weather reports and is not trusted by most experts. It would be irresponsible to leave it to viewers to figure out on their own. But that's become the sad state of what makes up a lot of political journalism these days. It’s not to say that there aren’t some bright spots. There certainly are. But, by and large, the press is somehow still failing on the basics, nearly a decade into covering Trump.

What if the news media presented weather reports like it does politics? www.status.news/p/kash-probl...

Congrats man.

The history of humanity is filled with stories of too rich men drunk on power and the harm they wreck. But their stories are not the stories that matter.

The person who cares for their neighbor in need, teaches their children to be kind, they are the heart of humanity. We are the ones who matter.

Make sure the turkey is good and frozen

This is actually pretty accurate

Red Wine–Braised Turkey Legs Recipe Cooking turkey legs via a long, slow braise is an easy way to imbue them with plenty of flavor and leave them extra moist and tender.

My annual post to remind you that you should ignore the marketing and never try and roast a turkey again. It’s a pain, it leads to dry turkey, hurt feelings, and mother in laws’ passive aggressive eye rolls. This is easy and
You will be a hero.

How is it taking this long to count votes?????

Your moment of zen. Happy Thanksgiving #nofilter

The more I read about the tariffs, the angrier I get about the reality that the burdens of paying more for fridges and dishwashers are going to fall heaviest on people who can least afford it, and who don’t have the privilege of being able to plan these big-ticket purchases in advance

Wow. Got to go see this in person

a good thing to do, upon realizing everything you believed about the world was wrong, is to talk to some of the people who weren't wrong. obviously what dems will do instead is re-hire the people who were wrong and say "okay but THIS time don't screw up"

Top Trump Aide Accused of Asking for Money to ‘Promote’ Potential Appointees President-elect Donald J. Trump ordered the investigation by his legal team into Boris Epshteyn, a powerful figure in the transition. Mr. Epshteyn denies the allegations.

Gosh, I’m shocked

meme from "No Country for Old Men" of Anton Chigurh saying "if the rule you followed brought you to this... of what use was the rule?"

me to the legal minds who reassured us that the best way to defend the rule of law was to allow trump to slow-walk the prosecutions in order to adhere to DOJ proceduralism instead of arresting him on January 21, 2021

That chromes extension works ok… you have to give it a few tries. And welcome Jack 👋🏼

Anybody else find it strange we’re having a ‘peaceful transfer’ to absolute chaos?

It’s a masterpiece of a movie.

Turns out that some people are truly above the law. Everything that the movies and Sunday school taught us is wrong.

Really draining that swamp

Project 2025 is an effort by the Heritage Foundation, not Donald Trump | Fact check Though the project includes people in Trump's orbit, he said he is not involved with the effort. Project 2025 said it doesn't speak for any candidate.

A reader reminds me of the @usatoday.com "fact check" that claimed it was false that Project 2025 was a Trump project.

Seems like something they'd be a touch embarrassed about now?
