Harris lost because while she bested the Trial of Strength and was able to answer the basilisk's riddles, she did not possess John Adam's Scepter, which remains locked in the Smithsonian attic.

Lowkey problematic of you to doubt the mutual fund request

2028 primary discourse is among the stupidest, most useless discourse imaginable as the GOP has shutdown the government and is sleepwalking into a buzzsaw.

I cannot believe there are people out there saying, "I should be allowed to do some arsons, for revolutionary reasons" motherfucker you are not a firefighter and this is not a controlled burn you could end up killing people!

Stancil's mentions are absolutely insane.

Do not commit arson! Do not expect me to be cool about it!

If you were designing an op to discredit protest you could not do better than this

I'm sorry but you're not allowed to name a child "Brantly." Congrats to Bradley Gilbert, you can be normal now.

Yeah, the "Sanders would have won" thing should have been slapped won immediately. We let them self-sooth for too long and here we are.

They have also not done things like "have the president call the FBI agents during the raid" and "have the DNI there, for reasons" that I think is going to make discovery fun and interesting.

Makes sense. No penalty for being wrong online, and even less so in the academy.

The perfidious libs, by continuing to not execute Newsom publicly, have forced my hand into turning my tacit support of Republicans into explicit support.

Man, we should figure out what it is about being a history or poli sci tenured prof and social media that just hits the nitro on the brainworms

To indulge in crass 2016ism for a moment: we really should not have let the people telling themselves self-soothing lies about the West Virginia primary get away with that. Set up bad precedents.

So, I do wonder what the courts are going to make of all this if and when anything comes of this FBI raid.

I wonder if anyone is making an effort to correlate the typography of the redacted email signatures.

The media cared so much about Bill Clinton talking to Loretta Lynch in 2016. It was a major scandal!

"Has Donald Trump ever touched a computer" is a thing I now cannot stop thinking

02.02.2026 17:38 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 21    ๐Ÿ” 3    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

I would pay any asked price to watch Donald Trump try and enter any formula into a single Excel cell.

Roberts made staff sign NDAs in November 2024 after the election.

I tend to think that forcing the staff of our unaccountable supreme court swear to omerta is a bad look
