“they’re all the same” “Kamala’s a cop” “Genocide Joe” “I can’t in good conscience vote to kill children in Palestine” “we need to teach Democrats a lesson” “the DNC fixed the primary” “if we even have elections” are all forms of psychological voter suppression from the left youtu.be/hkQvoJiD1bk

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."

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?

cool, cool

He’s not even wrong about the H1B visa system being abusive, but did he say that the workers can’t get too UPPITY?! And also the demonization of immigrants in his own state, he knows what he’s doing.

This is a man who knowingly took up Nazi rhetoric to gin up the hatred behind an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Haitian refugees from his own state.

hell Mills tried to turn her moment fighting Trump "see you in court" into a thing and outside of Maine it was like "ew cringe grandma!" rather than being the rallying cry it clearly was.

also worth saying Democrats who did go out on limbs for trans rights, people who passed major moves for trans rights (Hillary) who advanced trans people (Biden) or fought transphobia in court and in public (Janet Mills) got no credit, no support.

As in Hungary, voting also played a key role

look, nothing is simple and i have no parsimonious explanation for anything here, but a student protest movement, focused on corruption & authoritarianism, just won a major european election. a big deal.

Historian of the French presidency: did you see that comment that Emmanuel Macron made, “I was never a teenager.” Isaac Chotiner: I’m not going to touch that ftr the full comment was even worse Live your life so that if Isaac Chotiner knows who you are, he’ll ask about what you said

From the guy who called Coyote vs. Acme "a cynical attack on American exceptionalism," The Odyssey "continuing the corruption of modern movie culture" and The Devils' opening scenes "the horrible daily carnival of the Biden administration," but loved Citizen Vigilante and Run Hide Fight: Infidels?

I don't know if it'd be more embarrassing to be as dense as molybdenum or just pretending to be, but either way.

The Day of the Jackal spends two hours trying to prevent the assassination of Charles DeGaulle but does NOTHING to rescue JFK, whom do I see about my refund?

I've seen some comments saying "it's just a sticker, it barely counts". If a sticker is so unimportant, he didn't even need to make it in the first place then.

When women point out that men go after very young women because women with life experience are less easily manipulated and controlled, we get called bitter old hags who don't understand the "science" of evopsych. And here this guy is just admitting it.

To understand what is really happening, you need to know something about 'bizness' in Russia. One of the most common forms of corruption is NOT handing over bags of cash. Instead, politicians are given access to super-cheap shares of a new company before capital flows in.

The arc of history is long but it bends, confusingly, towards President Gunter Fehlinger of the United Earth Federation

*Gunther Fehlinger* being a feature of Indian political discourse is just mental
