Sentient Ball of RNA

I swear to god, Democrats are allergic to winning. All I want is for every last loser in that party to be replaced by someone that believes in something besides their donors.

"We have obtained a promise from Lucy that she will consider holding the football appropriately at a given date in the future."

yeah this is with leadership’s blessing and you’ll never convince me otherwise. the whip is a yes, the rest of the yes’s are retiring or 4-6 years out from a primary, this is trash.

yes senator they're roasting you on Bluesky, sir

yes full roast sir, the communists, the wine moms, Bill Kristol, they're all roasting you, sir

no, sir, I haven't seen him in Waiting for Godot, but he's roasting you, too, sir

one serious problem i see that i am not clear how we solve is, probably 50% of the GOP voting base if not more is really not interested in being part of a democracy anymore. and the only alternative is guys who think democracy means finding common ground with those people

i don’t think the axios reporting is entirely off base if you have house members out here soft launching an abolish-the-senate position lmfao

theres a whole category of newstertainment thats gotta go. and its "ask a really rich freak who is also evil and directly stealing from you what hes seen on the computer lately that has made him feel bad." the only -- ONLY -- story about this guy worth exploring is: he is getting rich spying on you

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

#GVerse Um. WTF???

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings."

This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

Wow, Go Deacs.

Brain juice.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Tail on upside down.

👇🎯 Yet the problem remains: we have a non-functional legislative branch & dumb, purely extra-constitutional rules that the government can be shutdown, rather than continuing at current levels until a new budget, like all normal democracies. Feeding the hungry shouldn’t require judicial Calvinball.

As usual, ego explains most of the story.

It's very likely much worse than this. He's had that, but he's incapable of feeling a reciprocal emotion. Imagine wanting something with your whole heart, but being incapable of being happy when you get it. What a horrible life.

I hear different details every time this stuff comes up. What's your "definitive history" resource?

They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

One thing that strikes me is just how fake all of our problems related to government are

The filibuster isn't in the Constitution, and every single Framer would be apoplectic that it exists.

The government shutdown was invented in 1980

The 9-justices limit was invented to stop the New Deal

This photo sums Trump up perfectly. Zero empathy. Zero concern. Zero action. While it all goes to shit around him.

Lol

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.

on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

I don't think I'll vote for anyone that doesn't promise justice.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points
