I hate to be overly judgmental, but I am skeptical a "time out" is gonna fix what's wrong with someone who posts things like this.

"the exact moment when not knowing became impossible." This line, used twice in the article, is also relevant to a certain Maine Senate candidate.

The sad thig is I would pay like $5 a month, every six months for this. But if they are going to make like X, I don't think so

Nancy Mace is one of those people who is deeply miserable yet not as miserable as she deserves.

Sooner or later maybe the No Kings protesters will realize that if you only proclaim No Kings when and where the government says you can, you may in fact have a King.

Seems like there is now a push to make this site, more like the site people came here to get away from.

I don't actually think JD Vance believes his wife is going to hell because I don't think he actually believes anything

It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA β€œthought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

This is why you don't do interviews with these hacks. They ask questions they know you can't answer then frame it to their followers as asking "basic questions." She isn't angry, its all performance. It is all definitely fucked up.

it's the unitary executive, the tribune of the people, the all-powerful sovereign, the sun and the moon. it can bomb fishermen and deport citizens. but it cannot, it turns out, free up money to pay for SNAPβ€”there are laws, after all.

These ACA subsidized people are already paying hundreds of dollars a month for health care, but will be go to paying thousands of dollars a month for healthcare.

Bas news here is, if they feel comfortable attempting to bully @propublica.org like this, how much of the media is already in a perpetual state of capitulation.

I don't know how many Americans agree with Vance here, but I feel anyone how does is absolutely irredeemable.

Platner taking his campaign in a β€œthey’re trying to get me” direction after the tattoo is a flashing, Fetterman-shaped warning light for what he could be like if elected, and I think it’s enlightening to see who can see that and who can’t because he’s β€œupsetting the right people”.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

This is because those are the only people they can rely on to terrorize Grandmas and eight year old girls.

The culture war is over, and they lost. Long ago. Using the White House to force their narrow, frightened vision on a country that’s moved on doesn’t show strength, it exposes weakness.

They’re fighting yesterday’s battle because they can’t win tomorrow’s.

We have the power & they know it

Kind of ironic- or maybe just karma, that a alleged journalist continually bashes a comedian for doing journalism in one of the worst attempts at a parody video I have ever seen. My guess is she took it down hoping John won't see it and do a response. May guess is - to late - .

- when they’re β€œright” it’s because correct things are often written down, -
I another way of thinking of it might be - their accuracy is dependent on correct things being written down and often much of their input consists of scraped social media posts.

They called it antisemitic instead of specifying it was a Nazi symbol, because they knew they would not get the result they wanted. Which is ... something.
