Terrific

And now, a moment with Ricochet. #AEWDynamite

😬

The perfect album from the year I turned 16 (1994)

Now we see what the gig is: Will DOJ release the files or will they claim their lopsided investigation into only Democrats (despite Bondi’s July statement that the evidence didn’t support any additional prosecutions) means they won’t release anything.

I am sorry, but the first party to take up the banner of anti-corruption and accountability is going to have a hell of an easy time making its case and I honestly don't know why an opposition party isn't doing that already from every streetcorner they can.

Powerful.

The enemy of my enemy is my *friend.

* Unless that person drove conspiracy theorists to violence, threatened democracy, and made repeated antisemitic remarks, all of which they're pretending never happened as they hope to whitewash their reputation today.

Counterpoint: Having facts at hand to confront your interview subject with if they say things that aren’t true is actually called “journalism.”

When we stopped doing this, I’m not sure, but I’d kill to see Mike Wallace interview these guys.

Bingo. Corporate welfare is the real welfare you should be talking about.

Anyone remember the video of MTG kicking a woman in the legs who was walking too slow ahead of her? boingboing.net/2022/09/16/w...

THAT'S LITERALLY HOW THE SUBSIDIES & ACA EXCHANGES WORK ALREADY.

CONSUMERS ARE INFORMED BY COMPARING POLICIES ON THE ACA EXCHANGES, THEN THEY PURCHASE ONE AND THE GOVERNMENT PAYS SOME OR ALL OF THE COST OF THAT POLICY.

I'M TEARING THE LITTLE HAIR I HAVE ON MY HEAD OUT.

Ok, but in this same interview, she blamed the Epstein cover up on Israel, and called on CNN to platform Nick Fuentes.

MTG is not even CLOSE to earning forgiveness or redemption or trust. She's a huge horrible bigots who happens to be feuding with other huge horrible bigots.

The age of consent in the US is defined in law. It is NOT dictated by opinion or social norms.

But there IS the social norm of "half plus 7." Divide your age by 2 and add 7. If they're not that old, what are you doing? In the vast majority of those cases, it's just gross.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

“Parents who, after consulting with a doctor and a psychologist, allow their 15-year-old child to transition commit child abuse. The child is too young to consent!”

--Megyn R. Kelly

“Grown men who have sex with your 15-year-old? Big whoop! It’s not like she’s 8. LOL!”

--Also Megyn R. Kelly

If you seriously think the reason it's so expensive to BUY a home is because of illegal immigrants, you are either (a) insanely stupid or (b) knowingly gaslighting people for political points.

You have to sign 5 million pieces of paper to buy a home. Do they think illegals are openly doing that?

just a reminder this guy slashed the tires on his much younger female coworkers tires to trick her into getting in his car

he was married at the time

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

*Government will reopen
*ACA subsidies NOT extended, causing premiums to rocket for 24M+
*A bunch of Republican senators could net millions in taxpayer dollars for themselves, with at least one hoping to net more than $1M.
*Intoxicating hemp banned
*Govt could shut again 1/31

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

It’s important to achieve bipartisanship with Republicans so they can arrest Barack Obama for something they read on the Epoch Times’ Facebook page written by a Chinese cult member in 2019.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

The vast majority of homeowners with fire insurance never file a claim but we don't say fire insurance is a bad idea. Having the insurance *is* using the system. And I think that people actually understand this *because everyone needs health insurance*

okay, so, with Dems successfully keeping anyone up in 2026 for voting for this turd let's take a look at who's up in 2026 anyway:

1. Cory Booker - apparently involved behind the scenes, constantly looking for bipartisanship. I don't dislike him personally but he doesn't have what we need. Primary.
