I believe the precise wording was "Shove that ballroom up your FAT ass!"

Trump is interrupted by a protester in Mississippi: "Shove that ballroom up your ass!"

It's so irritating that Hitler's plan to put "socialist" in the name of his party so people would think Nazis were socialists not only worked but IS STILL WORKING.

If you ever feel bad about shaming and laughing at the dumb-fuck Trump voters you do and don't know, remember they wanted this, this is their champion.

What’s really wild is that human journalists regularly come up with dynamic eulogies of the elementary school students who are killed by gun violence, and they never had the privilege to meet, multiple times a year in this country. That seems a lot more overwhelming and complex, but who am I to say?

I called up Mapquest. I called up Mapquest. I said, "We've gotta change the name of the ocean!" They said—I couldn't believe it—they said, "Go fuck yourself, you fascist fuck"

Always remember that Donald Trump watched on TV for 3 hours as a mob beat up police officers. It made him feel good because they were doing it for him.

The Republicans’ betrayal of Ukraine will leave a permanent stain on American history. It’s not just Trump — it’s the entire Republican Party bowing down to Putin. They could stop this if they wanted to.

The only way you could have watched that video without being absolutely impressed with the matter-of-fact way AES dismantled and exposed that pitiful gotcha is for bad reasons

‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

If a Dem had done what Trump did to the reflecting pool, the worst photo of it would be the social media profile pic for every Republican this election.

You Can See Everything was very funny, yet somehow not as funny as the very horny trailer for Wicker that played in my theater being immediately followed by a commercial for Chuck E. Cheese

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

Still trying to understand how Napster got shut down, but Anthropic is going public and still hasn’t paid us authors yet after stealing our work.

I could have refused both on principle and gone hungry. But the pineapple pizza was perfectly edible, filled me up, and I could pick off some of the pineapple. This is not a story about pizza.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

The Seven Stages of Democrat Rage When Republicans Are Fascistic: 1. This is simply wrong 2. We are better than this 3. It’s downright un-American 4. Reagan would be rolling in his grave 5. This is simply wrong (reprise) 6. I am writing a letter 7. Can you chip in $5 to help me put a stop to this

The timing of this raid and reports that a White House official was involved raise serious questions that should concern all Americans, regardless of political party.

As someone who has probably watched 95% of SNL monologues over the past 20 years, can we at least focus on the sexist joke without claiming that Shane Giilis bombed? Why do we need to lie to each other? Plenty of real things to be pissed about.

They are losing and emptying their tank of childish right wing ideas to see what sticks. Let's make sure none of it sticks.

The news just since I left work: -A planned livestream of an execution by firing squad -Trump basically trying to incite a pogrom against Somalis Nothing mysterious or complicated about what's happening.

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit treating Deshaun Watson like any other QB, and nary a mention of two dozen sexual assault allegations as part of an already disgusting “redemption” arc they’ve spent all night trying to weave is really gross.

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

Straight, white, married, from NY and dis-like country outside Dolly, Johhny, Sturgill, and Kacey. Have heard that famous country song on streaming. It's fine, but why is the singer okay with her man cheating simply because the other woman is from Texas? Have some Tennessee pride is all.

succinctly summarizing messy stories in a measured tone that sounds matter-of-fact instead of accusatory is this man’s superpower

Ossoff: Did you see this business about Don Jr.‘s wedding in the Bahamas? Where he received, apparently, a cash gift from a Russian oligarch connected to the Kremlin? This man, Kremlev, was apparently in China with Putin two days before he flew to the Bahamas for Don Jr.’s wedding…

I really hope the next president is like “I could’ve pissed on Trump’s head as he was leaving office and burned all of his properties to the ground. I didn’t do it, but I could’ve if I wanted to. Maybe I still will.”

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "I could've banned fishing. The power of this office is crazy. I could've banned fishing. I think I'm gonna do that."

The corruption has never been more blatant in our lifetimes. What did you assume would happened, say 20 years ago, about this much open corruption of our sytems? If it is not being done, then you need to start making it happen. We're behind.

Bari Weiss has plunged CBS News into ratings calamity. —"Evening News" has posted worst ratings of 21st century —"CBS Mornings" has posted worst ratings of 21st century —And now "60 Minutes" has posted worst ratings of 21st century More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/60-minutes...

If I was the metaphoric 1%, once I learned the staying power of that label, I would probably try to scapegoat another minority that exact % of the population too.
