The Cognitive Dissonance Podcast

Everyone called out by Hunter Biden the last 48 hours:

Hence they have no qualms about saying it doesn’t exist. It’s why Bondi was stalling - there never was a list, just a treat they kept in their back pocket to feed the rabble whenever they start to lose support. Elon ruined it for them but no worries MAGA will forget they ever cared in a week.

HOT TAKE 🚨 There was never an actual Epstein list or anything else exposing things we don’t already know. The potential existence of a blackmail list was always just MAGA fodder for their deep state pizza gate conspiracies. When Elon started using it against Trump it wasn’t fun or useful anymore.

They take turns on who will “fall on the sword” but they haven’t once allowed their combined votes stop Trump’s agenda. Not a single time. One of them always “caves” & only if the GOP can afford to lose a vote, 1 of them (whoever’s up for relection) will play the brave woman who stands up to him.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Murkowski was always a yes. This whole hemming & hawing beforehand followed by her hopes & concerns the House will kick it back is her schtick along with Collins.

“fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.”

The craziest part about No Kings Day being the largest single day protest is that every prior mass protest in recent history happened during Trump except two, and those ones happened during Nixon and Reagan 😃😃

It is, it is. Sadly it is.

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

The entire military “perade” was an embarrassment but the fact that they stacked 3 Sam’s Club sheet cakes and stuck what looks to be TJ Maxx throw pillow on top is… actually such a perfect encapsulation of this regime.

I talked to Cecil from @dissonancepod.bsky.social about one of the biggest wellness influencers getting his info from a medium; what we can learn about believers and grifters from this; and the MAHA branch of the U.S. government.

“Let people have fun!”

Cool so we get a meme & a hearty lmao while they get increased corporate profits they can use to lobby for wage stagnation & tax breaks.

How fun! So worth the lolz.

Or better yet- community organized taco dinner fundraisers to raise $$ for immigration lawyers & food pantries.

Stop focusing on the temporary gratification of a corporation “dunking” on Trump to increase their profits that end up being funneled to the GOP for billionaire tax breaks & do the work

“Taco Bell has the chance to do something so funny lolll”

2025 & we still like corporate pandering?

I’d rather support local taquerias selling chicken tacos for 47¢ on June 14th across the nation.

I hate it here

Jake Tapper thought he was channeling Bob Woodward but instead he’s giving Matt Taibbi

Trump’s Administration makes Orwell’s 1984 sound like a light hearted romp.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

Trump caught in major corruption scheme Even for Trump, the overt corruption is staggering.

"The President is selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Trump."

this guy is out here proudly being a eugenicist freak while people at mainstream and "respectable publications" make excuses for him or even muse about whether he has a "few good points"

I wonder how many boxes of classified documents & top secret information that $400 million “sky palace” from Qatar cost us. That’s the real question.
#AirForceOne

Remember when the GOP was apoplectic that Biden’s brother paid him back for a car loan?

Good times. Glad they are consistently hypocritical & that it is always performative outrage. It would be a bummer to be proven wrong even once that they are all craven power hungry ghouls.

Your kids get maximum 2 dolls & 5 pencils this Christmas while Trump gets a $400 million “sky palace” that will take $350 million in taxpayer funds to make it secure enough to be Air Force One temporarily for 3 years bc oh ya he’s taking it with him when he leaves.

Thank you 🙂‍↕️

I made dis.

They are really out here like “we can excuse CSA but we draw the line at feeding the poor 😤”

What’s crazy about the new pope is that everything we like about him (being a basic level pro human rights progressive) MAGA hates & everything we loathe about him (hiding p3do priests & covering up abuse) MAGA loves.🫢

Again: he is not going to back down from tariffs because the imports collapse is an explicitly good thing to him. It’s the whole goal of the policy.

He sees the number of containers going to zero and thinks *that is a success* because it means we’re not buying things from those foreigners anymore.
