Vivek Ramaswamy ran an ad attacking his opponent for being raped as a child. But he's also one of the few Republican politicians who is still allowed within 200 feet of a school or a Chuck E. Cheese.
Reposting in response bc this crybaby disabled replies.
MSNow has more Republicans on staff now than any other network. All of corporate media is owned by fascists billionaires and staffed by fame-hungry bootlickers.
The owner of X posted a bunch of Kremlin propaganda and then turned off Starshield in Ukraine to help Putin murder thousands of Ukrainian civilians. Here's why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem.
The days of 'going along to get along' are fucking over. We're done watching Dem's pretend we can just move forward after the Rapepublicans ignored the Constitution, committed crimes against humanity, and completely lost their collective minds. We want consequences. We want justice.
Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.
Has anyone asked Mitch McConnell to denounce Hasan Piker?
Probably not. I realize the media is pretty obsessed with this Twitch streamer, but it's not like they'd ever want to disturb the privacy of the powerful senator no one has seen in 100 days.
remember when there was that train accident in east palestine ohio and the right wing talked endlessly about how biden & co didn't care about the middle of the country? www.nytimes.com/2026/08/21/u...
“having a bizarre obsession with a daddy figure is not uncommon in right-wing households” good point Amy, people on the right are freaks. they’re freaks and they’re worse than us.
The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.
What 'moderation' really means is adopting the views of a very small group of loud, centrist writers and their big business backers, and is increasingly out of step with (a) the big problems in the US and (b) the polling on what Americans say are the biggest problems they want government to fix.
Good morning to the New York Post reporter who's here for the inevitable "Bluesky Liberals Cheer Graham's Death" article that is surely dropping by lunchtime
If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.
Unlike many NY Dems, Hochul deftly managed the rise of Mamdani and allied with him to avoid a primary challenge. The Times recasts her savvy maneuvering as a naive fuck up because they hate Mamdani and are looking for any angle they can to halt his momentum.
Liberals are quick to criticize Trump for paying Iran’s fundamentalist regime hundreds of billions of dollars. But what if that’s just a smart down payment on the terrorist attacks that will win Republicans the next elections?

To be very precise, on top of being a useless conman, he is one of the biggest mass-murders in history, a genocideer on par with any of history's other monsters.
Not a scientist with a breakthrough in medicine or the environment to help humankind. Not an engineer with a breakthrough technology that helps humankind. No... the first ever trillionaire is this useless conman. SMFH.
I want to support public broadcasting but NPR plays the "Nice Polite Republicans" bit way too much, they structure everything around it so that readers are led to believe problems caused or made worse by Republicans are acts of god and forces of nature.
Listened to an NPR story this morning about mass child starvation in Senegal without a single mention of Elon Musk, the guy who gleefully created the conditions for the mass starvation
“Democrats have a clear path to neutralize this GOP power grab if they want to take it,” Max Flugrath, senior communications director of Fair Fight Action, told me. “This is the ‘break glass in case of emergency’ moment for American democracy.”
Democrats need to accept that they're entering a new era of procedural Total War. This includes a big escalation in redistricting, but it's not limited to that. If Republicans don't like it, tough shit: They made this world, and they are the ones inflicting it on us.

Trump repeatedly bragging about being asked to take the dementia screener is like a work colleague bragging about having to take daily court-ordered drug tests.
Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

this is the guy that the mainstream media is working to paint as the serious guy in the trump administration who secretly opposes all the crazy stuff trump is doing. a fun contrast to how the media portrayed Harris when she was VP
It's so funny.
"The USPS losses money"
So does the federal highway commission. But we all understand that if we didn't invest money in this you couldn't drive anywhere.
But for some reason we've let shithead delivery companies convince you otherwise.
the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do
instead of starting by acknowledging the deaths of more US service members, Hegseth begins his presser by casting the press and says, "the United States is decimating the radical Iranian regime's military in a way the world has never seen before"
A man who was shot by Connecticut police last year and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for another ambulance to arrive at the scene, after another officer having an anxiety attack took the first one.
RFK Jr. suggests Americans can more easily afford groceries if they start eating liver instead of beef:
"Most of the cheap cuts of meat are very inexpensive. ... You can buy liver or the cheap cuts."
the reason conservatives treat "cancelled for their conservative views" and "cancelled for being a sex pest and rapist" the same is that "powerful men should be allowed to rape their subordinates" *is* a conservative view
We watched This is Spinal Tap and Spinal Tap II on Saturday.
Misery is on our October Playlist every year.
Stand By Me is one of my favorite movies
We went to a live showing of Princess Bride with Cary Elwes in Wilmington last year.
These are all Reiner films.
Pick one and watch.
This NYT story failed the reader by not digging deeper. One subject dropped out of college after one year (five years ago) and lists "Windows" as his skillset. Story should be: young conservatives who blame immigrants for their personal failures and whose lives won't be improved w/ fewer immigrants
