Politico, fawning over Trump, casually drops that we might be going to war with our NATO ally Denmark to seize Greenland, like winning with 49.9% of the vote somehow gave Trump β€œa mandate” to pursue truly deranged military explanation he announced post-election

Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.

People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

One of the stupidest end of game inbounds plays I have ever seen. Finch is looking worse and worse.

This is almost such an obvious point, it feels slightly crazy to point it out, but a politician winning a national election does not mean that the criticisms of that politician were wrong. Nixon and Bush both go reelected and everything their most unsparing critics said about them was right.

This comment from a right winger coming to some realizations nails it. Too bad they didn't care until they realized no one was safe, including "their side."

i don’t understand how, psychologically, a person gets to a place where they interpret sign language as some kind of attack or imposition on their life. like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

β€œVirtue signaling” remains one of the most pernicious concepts to gain popular purchase. The whole premise of the concept leans on the idea no one actually cares about anyone aside from themselves.

The Wolves come back from 16 down with less than 5 minutes to go, Ant with the game winning bucket

Is there ANY non-nefarious explanation for how Ant has taken 36 FG attempts in the last two games without a single free throw??

CNN is hopelessly broken.

1. This "expansion" would require military invasions of several allies in violation of international law.
2. It would violate several treaties.
3. The Louisiana Purchase was the sale of land by a colonial power (France). These are sovereign nations.

Randle needs to come off the bench, and Naz start in his place. And for God's sake Dillingham can be let out of the doghouse. These non-PG lineups where NAW, DDV or Ant initiate the offense are a dead-end.

That was an incredible, incredible bit of playmaking by Darnold given how clearly injured he is. This game!

My most controversial take about the 2024 election is that Trump voters are adults with agency who made a voluntary choice, and most backed him because they saw what he offers and like it.

How else do you explain those same citizens saying their financial situation has completely flipped in 30 days??

part of the reason conservatives support restrictions on immigration is that keeping immigrants illegal and underground makes them easier to exploit, and puts more downward pressure on wages of American workers who compete with them for work.

This is your semi-regular reminder that Shirley Manson is an absolute ROCK GOD, and Garbage is a criminally underrated band.

He would be a 20 ppg guy if he wasn't immune to getting called for his push-offs and being rewarded for launching himself into defenders like Luka. I can't stand him.

SGA has become a 30 ppg MVP-caliber player in no small part because he is completely immune to offensive foul calls, despite engaging in the most blatant push-offs you will ever see on a nightly basis.

Much like the backlash to COVID-19 school closings was based on the same type of parents losing free daycare for a few months and having to actually deal with their children more than 3 hours a day.

i know everyone wants to play nice through the proper channels of reasoned debate and everything but this is what actual community moderation is. the community getting together and screaming at a guy until he leaves and goes back to a place that will tolerate him

What the Post Office does is nearly miraculous, yet the American population can probably be easily convinced it's terrible. Our collective narcissism, selfishness and ignorance will be harnessed by bad faith actors to make a single lost package seem like an indictment of the system as a whole.

this is exactly how the german right claimed every crime in the nation was the fault of jewish people. this is literally how they built the argument for the holocaust. this is not hyperbole.

I don't have a Dem rep, but putting someone who jumps off the TV screen in the position should not require constituent pressure. It's the only obvious choice if you are actually interested in fighting back. They aren't.

Instead of choosing the telegenic young fighter to battle the reality TV President in House hearings, Democrats have opted for a guy who might drop dead at any second. Their response to this election has me more disillusioned with them than at any point in 25 years. Complete impotence.
