This is very satisfying to watch now.

Mockler: Who started this new era of divisive politics? Was it Obama? Was it Biden? It was definitely trump. Trump's claim to fame in the political arena was saying that Obama's birth certificate was fake.

Trumpโ€™s whole leap into politics was based on a racist lie and the media couldnโ€™t have been more cooperative in helping him spread it. Not that theyโ€™ve ever shown any regret.

Strong get-out-the-vote message for Dems.

Dear Bluesky

Zohran Mamdani showed the Democratic party exactly how to win, but I fear they will totally deny the lesson. Meanwhile, ballroom boy has already pivoted to affordability. Please donโ€™t let the old guard lose yet another election due to corruption and incompetence.

Thanks,

God

Look, I know I poke the kids about fascism, but in a fascist state, you don't get charged with a felony about a sandwich and then walk out when a jury - and the nation - laughs at the prosecutors.

Looks like No Kings wasn't just a bunch of paid protesters.

Looks like they like healthcare.

Looks like they eat food.

Looks like they like democracy.

Looks like they realize who's taking away all three.

Looks like they vote.

Looks to me like people are pissed the fuck off!

Enjoy. ๐Ÿ˜Žโœจ

If sandwich shops donโ€™t start offering a sandwich named โ€œthe acquittalโ€ then what are we even doing

I realize this prediction wasnโ€™t especially difficult. But yes, it got worse.

And it will continue to get worse. Vote every god damn enabler out of office.

I was an FBI agent for 25 years. I never felt the horror of a fully wrapped Subway sandwich caroming off my tactical vest in the darkness of night on the mean city streets; the smell of cheap yellow mustard and raw onions lingering in my olfactory banks only to retraumatize at every family picnic.

DC โ€˜Sandwich Guyโ€™ Found Not Guilty After Defense Successfully Highlights Absurdity Of It All Jeanine Pirro tried to make an example of Sean Dunn. She ended up delivering a hero to Washington, D.C.

If the defendant was able to throw the sandwich hard enough that the victim was able to feel the impact through his ballistic vest, then I want the Seattle Mariners to sign him.

This is a real post from a longtime journalist, presented here without comment other than to say that I know for a fact that there is indeed much worse for people to learn about Trump and Epstein than the already horrifying fact that there are photos of Trump with topless young girls

I'm sure she has an angle, but two thoughts:

How many Ghosts of Christmas Past was she visited by, and David Hogg probably wants a word...

Anyone have a count for how many cartoonists were intimidated, fired or just flat-out resigned so far?

Ann Telnaes is the only name I know off hand, but I can't believe there aren't others...

Trumpโ€™s solution to the affordability crisis is to just tell us that things are affordable
