I do not understand why someone would cling to a NON-VOTING office until they draw their last breath

We need a businessman to run the country!!!

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

“The ballroom is really the president’s main priority” is also what Bill Moyers said when audio of LBJ speaking with his tailor about his special pants request leaked.

Juiceless. Of the people who were potential 2028 contenders, it is almost impressive how she just faceplanted immediately after Trump was sworn in.

My local slumlord regularly uses this rhetoric to frame himself as a good neighborhood guy and the (largely-nonexistent) Wall Street firms as the real source of evil

They Amish are not actually the best, most-honest contractors and are notorious for shoddy work

This notice is currently posted by the very-not-secretly MAGA diner near me that became a statewide nutjob cause celebre during Covid mask mandates

I know that's usually a rah-rah patriotic boon for the incumbent party, but it's hard to envision this shaking out that way for 2025 Donald Trump.

Twitter user RobSchneider: FYI… There were NO Children’s Hospitals when I was a kid. Because kids weren’t sick.

Just learned that Arkansas governor Orval Faubus, the militant sgregationist, was the son of socialists and briefly attended a communist college

What if w did Iraq without even trying to manufacture consent first

I, too, have seen that meme, and wonder if it's willful stupidity. Why would Obama's basketball court be in black and white and why would a small concrete pad require the demolition of an entire wing of the White House?

Very fun that our current situation is, what if we had both Andrew Jackson and William McKinley at the same time, except embodied in one moron

To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro Maine mori."

Currently trying to clean up my disastrous church membership rolls, and our longest-standing member was confirmed the Sunday the Battle of Okinawa began

In the old days such figures would have ended up as tragic gay poets rather than senatorial candidates

Truly fascinating to see which Democratic governors are responding in a half-decent way (Pritzker, Hochul, sometimes Newsom) and which aren't (Shapiro, Whitmer).
