OH MY GOD

They also tried selling us that George W. was some kind of geopolitical genius, and was ALSO ordained by God to save the whole of Western Civilization...

I feel I've just seen this film before.

"What if the Cardassians were crossed with the Ferengi" is no basis for a system of government

as soon as you become a political correspondent in America they take you into a little room in the White House and hit you on the head with a mallet until you lose the ability to retain long-term memories.

I dunno... The Cult deifies what/who it wants and ignores the rest at their convenience. The weirdo "Trump as muscular he-man" art they make is my data point on that.

little Nazis everywhere

Unfortunately thanks to protestant work ethic people have learned to fear above all anyone getting something they personally feel wasn’t earned. They’ll spend $50 to prevent $1 reaching “undeserving” hands. They’ll pay luxury prices for needless cruelty and call it thrift.

Again, I know everyone wants to yell at The Democrats & Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jefferies, but there are 10-25 people in Washington who could literally end all of this tomorrow, & none of them are Democrats, & they continue to get 24/7 free passes for being absolute oath-violating cowards. Focus.

"Really hard criminals"

Miller clumsily deployed an army of masked goons to commit crimes across the nation and, in the process, destroyed Trump's best-polling issue and sent his approval plummeting to an all-time low.

But sure, this was a "rare misstep" and not part of a larger pattern of incompetence

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

And... That's definitely Mr. Bowman.

I'm coming around on Vance being able to wrestle the reigns of MAGA with the backing of the Tech Bros in a post Trump world. We expect the exact same kind of juice as Trump for whomever rises to the top next but I think the real qualifications are just being an arrogant, smarmy POS at all times.

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

Why couldn't they ride the Turkeys to Mount Doom?

1. This AI shit is going to be a social nuclear bomb.

2. What a strange asshole Rappaport has morphed into. Yes... I know it wasn't recent he's always been a strange and dumb guy. Still, there's no consistency he's all over the map.

This post brought to you buy Michael Rapaport posting AI to show Mamdani as somehow groomed by Epstein and Clinton

When they say that “the American people want this” remember that they think that Trump’s bare plurality win in 2024 constitutes said mandate.

They will conveniently continue to pretend like public opinion is forever set in stone based on the last presidential election.

"This is what peak performance looks like..."

Immigrants are overwhelmingly likely to obey the law.

Law enforcement are uh ... not ... and the more removed those law enforcement are from the communities they enforce, the likelier they become to embrace criminality.

"Hey girls, me and the guys here were (Gobble-Gobble) just wondering where did you get those shoes? (Gobble -Gobble) Are they All-Birds? I love mine. I wore them the last time I saw Weezer in concert. So comfy.

(Hiss) So... Uh... I saw your Joy Division shirt. (Hiss. Flaps wings.) I got a bunch of bootlegs on my hard drive at home. (Hiss) You from around here?

No conservative anywhere should ever be interviewed by anyone ever again by anyone unless they are offering testimony under oath. They should never be allowed to pretend they care about anything good or true or decent. If you identify as a conservative you should be presumed malicious.

Accountability for ICE and CBP However bad you think the corruption and misconduct at ICE and CBP is — the reality is far far worse.

"For much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States."

This should be front page news. There should be hearings about it.

Yes, depiction does not equal endorsement. An oft-repeated phrase. And that's true. But it's not neutral either!

HOW are you wielding your voice?

WHAT you saying? (Do you *have* anything to say at all?)

Trump on what he learned from Minneapolis: "I learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch. But you still have to be tough. We're really dealing with really hard criminals."

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
