The Ranting Recluse

Dick Cheney’s death on Election Day is a cosmic reminder of the consequences of your vote

Wait, did the ballroom donors kill Dick Cheney?

Dick Cheney dying on the day Bill Kristol finds himself rooting for a socialist to be elected to run America's largest city is something alright

Cheney dying on Election Day feels like a good omen

I don't know what will happen in NYC tonight, but I do know that regardless of outcome, any number of public figures, celebrities, politicians and institutions that oppose Mamdani have done so with a level of rhetorical ugliness, racism, and dishonesty that should neither be forgotten nor forgiven.

The trouble really started when we began touching the screens. The monolith was a screen.

Someday soon, they're going to ask Mike Johnson who the Speaker of the House is, and he's going to say "I don't know."

Mike Johnson hasn't heard about Dick Cheney, he's been a little busy.

Actually, the McRib never goes away. It is we who are here for a limited time.

Dick Cheney has died.

It is a bad sign of the times that I would give anything to go back to his iteration of horrid.

#RemoveTrump

hey uhh just to be clear they’re just trying to cull the population cutting SNAP, shutting down the govt, killing healthcare - the end goal is a silent genocide of the poorest least enfranchised Americans so there’s more left for them - that’s it, that’s the whole plan

BOYCOTT UNITED AIRLINES!!!!!!

Starting today, the U.S. is legally obligated under the 1973 War Powers Resolution to halt its military operations in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, as the 60-day period without congressional approval has ended.- Washington Post

Refusing to love your neighbor is a fruit of Christian Nationalism. Christian Nationalism, above all else, is an ideology of self. Every Christian Nationalist worships not God but an idol that wears the face they see in the mirror.

DEAR REPUBLICAN PARTY:

You sold your soul.

You used to stand for patriotism, but you sold your soul to a traitor who conspired with an enemy to destroy our democracy.

You used to stand for our armed forces, but you sold your soul to a draft-dodger who mocked their courage and sacrifice.

old fashioned illustration with kid asking his mom 'mom, why are cabinet members hiding on military bases?' and mom replies 'because americans hate traitors, dear.'

I think it's something more sinister. I think they are planning to attack the American people.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

I will NOT be giving a dime to Fetterman.

But I will give to a strong primary opponent who shares my values.

He does not. Let’s GOOO PA!!

Who is the inspiration and dynamic super star of PA.

They went and removed the "C" from "CBS."

Fascism tends to move faster than organized resistance. It thrives on fear, loyalty, and a veneer of legality. By the time most people understand what’s happening, the regime already controls the army, police, media, and courts. Resistance then becomes fragmented, reactive and isolated.

When normal people are in charge of the government again, among many things, presidential pardon power needs to be severely limited, or even abolished.

After Zohran wins by double-digits, Abigail Spanberger wins by 4, and Mikie Sherrill wins by 1, I’m mentally preparing myself for a dozen headlines saying “Why Sherrill & Spanberger are the REAL future of the Democratic Party”

If Speaker Mike Johnson is going to continue to pretend he never knows anything about anything, the only question the media should be asking him is "Why are you even here?"

Someone needs to lock Fetterman in a room so he can play with his mashed potatoes..

For some reason all the far right white women on Twitter decided to make blackface and a snap card their Halloween costume this year.

That’s what Twitter looks like these days incase you’re curious.
