Pittsburgh Toilet

I always thought the Pod Save America guys were mediocrities who - like a lot of mediocrities - clung to Obama's coattails, but now I think they're fucking idiots.

“Every single democrat condemned it, but they didn’t all use the same phrasing, which is terrible, and also if they had done that I’d be making fun of them for that right now.”

Not great that one of the most popular podcasters on "the Left" broadly is openly antisemitic.

just circling back...

most of this website is misreading Chuck Schumer's call to pass the war powers resolution as a process complaint when it is literally the congressional mechanism to Do Something.

the absolute flood of "waaaaaaaah but i want to be mad at Dems about this" posts are doing very little to convince me i'm incorrect but are sure making me think some things about their authors

but like i said, whatever makes you happy

Trump sitting in his Big Boy Pseudo-SCIF:

I have to say, I am very tired of people mocking concerns about process as if it's a secondary concern.

It's the primary concern.

you personally could have stopped this if you simply caused democrats to win the 2024 election instead of lose. Why did you personally do this

It's very wrong to lie like that

i think it's wrong for a reporter to say that kamala harris supported genocide

"There are a dozen ways a strong opposition party would have stopped this from happening"

Sorry, do you not realize that if they won, that would make them *not the opposition party*?

LMAO

I am a veteran with a son who currently serves. I don't blame her one fucking bit. But I damn sure have a shit ton of smoke for those who pushed out Joe Biden, sat at home, voted third party, STILL protesting Harris and the folks who flat out told those canvassing they can't vote for a woman. So

“Which in many ways is even more destructive than the destruction itself.”

Not even five minutes into this bullshit war and we’ve already landed on actually Chuck Schumer is worse than Trump dropping bombs.

This site really does have the brain-smoothing juice of old Twitter.

I love that we all know 90 percent of them will flip on a dime now, from “trump won’t send your sons to war” (like it’s only sons) to “trump is sending your sons to war and that’s good.”

lolol already saw at least one bigger account On Here saying that Biden & Obama would have loved to start this war, and I'm just like ... my man, do you realize that time is linear, they had the chance to start it, and they already chose NOT to do so?? in what way does this prove they're warmongers?

Big congratulations to the “no new wars” crowd.

There were many bad reasons to support (or anti-anti-) Donald Trump. But none with as much willful denial and reality inversion as yours.

Our foolproof plan of electing a big dumb criminal has hit a bit of a snag.

Greek Pak is up at 7 AM on a Saturday to make Trump bombing Iran Democrats' fault.

In a new WaPo-ABC poll, 79% of Democrats say they are certain to vote in November, compared to 65% of Republicans.

The largest gap in that question since 2006.

(You're basically seeing exactly this in special election after special election.) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

But this isn’t just a regular account. Johnny MAGA appears to actually be a White House staffer named Garrett Wade who works for the Trump administration as a rapid response manager, helping to run the very same White House account his anonymous MAGA account amplifies. A phone number associated with Wade is linked to Johnny MAGA, according to a WIRED review of publicly available records, and the connection was confirmed by a source close to the White House. Wade and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

The Johnny MAGA account was created in September 2021, according to its X profile. (It originally used a different handle, which referenced Wade’s birth year, according to records reviewed by WIRED.) While the account’s earliest available posts focused on NFTs, it has been a consistent pro-Trump presence since at least 2022. The operator of the Johnny MAGA account has not disclosed an official relationship with the White House while operating the Johnny MAGA X account. Multiple media outlets, including Mother Jones, TownHall, and the New York Post, have all linked out to posts on the Johnny MAGA account seemingly as organic reflections of public sentiment on political issues.

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

Buttigieg won one primary lmao.

So you don't know *what* would have been different, but you know for sure it would have been different. How wild.

1) like who? See, this is revealing the fact that you believe there was some secret candidate who would have been better than Harris *and* won the primary against Harris.

2) What message specifically do you think she needed to tailor?

"proper primary"

read: I wanted anyone besides Harris

Then media treated Republicans political/emotional need for hate as a legitimate issue, because the gods of Both Sides demands that Republican freakouts be treated as such.

A GoFundMe to have that image plastered on billboards all over Oklahoma City. The text, "Ba-da-ba-ba-ba. Golden Arches to Golden Showers. Don't let this man piss on our city." Someone with copywriting talent can certainly do better.

The Scion of Oklahoma City’s largest McDonald’s franchisee family pissed himself at a peaceful anti-ICE protest in Mustang, OK this week when he tried to start shit and attacked protestors

Yeah, the difficulty about the whole "He's going to sign an EO that cancels elections!" is that the Federal government doesn't actually.. run elections. All he can do is sign an order to the executive agencies to seek compliance from states and maybe do something if they don't. Maybe.

This is INCREDIBLE. What a win for public education.

(And yet another reminder of the value of *standing up* and *not obeying in advance*!!!)

Congratulations - and thank you - to the faculty in the UC system.

Imagine being so brain-poisoned on consumer capitalism that you think about voting as a reward for the candidate being the bestest boy or girl instead of understanding it as an exercise in collective action to choose one of a limited number of possible futures that we must all experience together.
