Of course, Dick Durbin voted with Chuck Schumer on the funding bill. He’s over 80 and has been in office since 1997. They're both old, weak, and useless. They have surrendered their Article 1 powers to the demented orange mobster. It’s time for them both to retire.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

If I ever get to have Down2n D's Law of Greed, it will be this: "Even if a billionaire sees that you only have $5 in your whole life, that billionaire covets your $5 as much as another billionaires billions of dollars." It's the exact same impulse.

Very worthwhile thread here. And this is a problem that will be getting worse at a very fast rate from here on in.

Good to see El Drumpfo starting off 100% on brand. Create a crisis re: TikTok, then back down and announce that he saved the world; that he "solved everything." Billionaire plays along.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

An American city is on fire and the world’s richest man has done nothing but lie and make it worse. Thank you to the people who are actually putting their lives on the line to save this country and fuck that spoiled rotten limp dick South African and any of the tough guys who live to kiss his ass.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

Weird that all those screaming 'moms' demanding library books be pulled from the shelves are all quite fine with making a child predator the attorney general. No protests, no threats, not a peep. If Gaetz was a book they'd burn him, but as a real live child rapist he has their full support.

If you think democracy is gone, you're not reading this: You've already abandoned social media and thrown in the towel. Thus...since you just read this, congratulate yourself. You've decided to stay in the fight and dig in! You're my kind of person.
