The qualifications for this desiccated piece of yak scrotum is that he was a rich crackhead.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Yesterday I watched an old man in Dunkin say the following into his phone: Hey Google, give me the price of the FASTEST Cybertruck, including tax. In Connecticut.

One thing about the Lakers is they are WAY faster than last year. I think they should call Luka/Reaves/Kessler fast breaks "blizzards."

Who is less masculine than this dipshit? No one. He is the Anti-Masculine.

“Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp states ‘AI will undermine the influence of highly educated, often female voters and give it to working class men. We have feminine energy running our cities and our courts,’ he complained.”

All Republicans should be assumed to be pedophiles until proven otherwise. There's just too much evidence at this point.

As Ramaswamy doubles down on his new ad featuring a woman who chose her pedophile rapist husband over her own daughter, his victim, let me remind you that this story happened literally one week ago. They really, really, really want to lock up the pedophile vote.

"Sure. Do you disavow Donald Trump?"

it is the same exact thing as demanding that black candidates for office “disavow farrakhan,” which happened quite a bit in the 90s and 2000s

Remember this the next time you're thinking of bitching about the Dems' "messaging."

Look, I'm not trying to be unsympathetic to the politicians in the article. But non-pols get these threats daily. Woman got doxxed and their kids threatened for disclosing they were harassed by a serial predator. I got an artisanal hand-written death threat mailed to my apartment. Deal with it.

Hey, here's something no Democrat would ever do!

JD Vance on H-1B recipients: "It's one thing if you were to bring in a person like Elon Musk. I think 99% of American citizens look at somebody like Elon Musk and say, 'if that person wants to come in and build something great in the US, we support that.' But if you're bringing in an accountant... "

One of the worst thing to happen in the last few decades politically (besides the obvious) is Bernie Sanders convincing a large subset of young white Americans that Clinton and Obama were worse than the Bushes and Reagan. And I'm not sure we'll ever really recover from it.
