The modern Republican Party thinks Ronald Reagan was a radical socialist who hated America. I mean, that’s what they call people who say exactly what he said. I don’t make the rules. *shrug*

Amen to that. I wish Jrue had been in Boston for his entire career. All-time Celtics Defense and all-time Celtics class. The man just always did whatever we needed, including sometimes taking a step back and sacrificing his offensive numbers.

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them Three Iowa City West high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023. Two years later, many of the books have been reshelved and parts of the law can't be enforced.

MTG wants to run for Senate or Governor. She knows her particular brand of crazy won’t play statewide. So she’s pretending to be reasonable and bipartisan. Key word: pretending

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

Thinking Nazis were leftists because their party name includes the word socialist is like thinking AI is actually smart because its name includes the word intelligence.

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for.

But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

Kavanaugh, probably: “They were moving expeditiously to verify possible US citizens who could then be released in just 2 weeks rather than the 6 weeks it would take if the brave, stalwart, heroic ICE officers hadn’t slammed them to the ground to quickly.” Excuse me while I go vomit…

These charts show that politicians from both parties are unpopular. And that independents who lean D want the Dems to be more moderate. They don’t support your statements at all. Get better data or a new premise.

But math is woke. I’m sure of it. All the maths are woke, all the sciences are woke, only Dear Leader Donnie DeadMan can be trusted.

I better not regret leaving the snark tag off this one…

This is insane. If you aren’t going to report what actually happened, get a new career. This is just another type of disinformation and it’s appalling from so-called professional journalists. Tell. The. Truth. Always.
