They are SO OFFENDED BY OBAMA THE BLACK ELITIST PRESIDENT!!!!!!!! as they laughed at an immigrant child being beaten and ripped from their familiy in the parking lot.
“Bill: Don’t call anymore,” Trump wrote toward the end of an emotional 1,323-word diatribe on Truth Social that started by calling Maher a “complete and total loser” in all caps.
Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.
This report is genuinely overwhelming, in terms of the evidence both against Trump and of a ham-fisted cover-up.
Including one instance in which Ghislaine Maxwell was actually about to mention one of Trump's young accusers and Todd Blanche told her to stop talking.
The media response is "yawn."

EVERYTHING DIES YEAH THAT'S A FACT

The Boss sings at what once was my America, let's get this shit back on the rails
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."
If GOP seems a bit...down this week because they aren't just 'feeling' the wind isn't breaking their way, but also that their favorite microbetting Kalshi-Polynmarket sites have the Democrats at over 90% to flip the House, so that has sunk in with a lot of them as "credible"
Hard not to notice that Democrats who are doing the best are the ones who are leaving this whole civility-and-norms, we-go-high, we-need-a-strong-Republican-Party bullshit behind and are simply giving Republicans exactly what they all ought to get at all times, which is undisguised contempt.
It’s kind of crazy that the leader of the Democratic Party in the House of Representatives, who’s about to be third in line of presidency in January, is entirely absent from maybe the best, most pro progressive microblogging platform in the world.
Right? Shouldn’t a social media manager be on this?
The people who don't think it's funny are the ones who don't recognize the existential futility of dealing with the DNC, and the fact that the only way to cope is to point and laugh, or else we must all cry.
Senate Dem: I would hope my Republican colleagues respect the rules and protocls of the US Senate.
MAGA: fuck you
D: We will work together with the Republicans to fix the Senate.
MAGA: fuck you
D: We removed all enforcement from this bill, now you can vote for it
MAGA: fuck you (votes against)
the democrats, especially senate democrats, are really just the dumbest
republicans are trying to preside over the end of america and you're like "we can still work with them"
shut the fuck up
Let's create a Republican-to-English translation thread. I'll start:
"self-regulation" = legalized corruption
"small govt" = most invasive govt in history
"safety" = not offending Republican feelings
"corruption" = govt not taking bribes
"fraud" = brown person exists in Minn
"criminal" = Democrats
Hakeem Jeffries last post on bluesky is a month ago. Schumer last post was about October 7th. Those are the two leaders doing nothing. Both are representatives from New York. Like fuking do some messaging

Competent Democratic messaging and propaganda operations would be making sure this is in every space and every outlet where humans have eyes to see, with the words "Fire the facsist party, Vote Democratic" or some such easy-to-grok thing.
But Democrats.

The entire "conservative" project since 1964 has been an explicit quest to undo the Civil Rights act.
Why would one want to undo the Civil Rights Act?
Questions, questions! I'm sure it's all just principled opposition to some tax schedules buried in subsection D.
Modern conservatism began with Goldwater and his opposition to civil rights legislation (it’s why MLK endorsed Johnson). That led to Reagan which led to both Bushes which led to Trump. This aren’t occasional interruptions. Bigotry beats in the heart of the right.
This article (and Slade's book) are fan fiction. Trumpism isn't a break from Reaganism, it's the intended result, a gov't by, for, and of corruption, lawlessness, racism, and misogyny. That's why Reaganites with power—Thomas, Alito, Kennedy, McConnell—worked hard to empower and entrench Trumpism.
(Politico) - ABC programs are already tempering their election coverage ahead of the midterms to avoid angering President Donald Trump, a lawyer for the broadcast company told a federal judge on Tuesday ..

Democrats caved and/or facilitated this monopolization of practically every major media property in the US into the hands of a MAGA fascist psychopath.
If the US had an opposition party, each of its presidential contenders would would vow to dissolve this monopoly by any means necessary.
Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon are officially sister networks for the first time in HISTORY.
The two networks now share a parent company following today’s completed merger to form Skydance.
Huge bummer when you’re just innocently trying to join and promote a movement that hates Black people, immigrants, and Jews — but then you discover that they have a dark side.

Oh, you mean rightwing propaganda and "lifestyle/culture" is really just well-funded contrived white supremacist bullshit thinly disguised as "political commentary?"
Well that's a surprise to all of us, I'm sure

Happy Monday!
The GOP under Trump has tried to create a concentration camp archipelago consisting of private prisons and red-state-funded goverment concentration camps.
