My favorite thing about Twitter this week is that all the MAGA lunatics saying "Average Americans don't care about stock market" genuinely don't understand or realize their 401k and retirement is the stock market.

The cumulative (over 3 yr) xtra amount paid for eggs/ groceries, you know the receipts all over fox every holiday --is miniscule to amount those people lost in their retirement accounts in past 2 days. I used to say wait till they feel it in their wallet but after this weekI realize it's a cult.

Agree. Same here. Ive tried. Even with family and people i was certain i could "get through to". Debating in a swamp is noble, but don’t expect a clean exit. Sometimes, the best strategy is building higher ground.

The Democrats mad about Hunter Biden are exactly why we lost the election. They keep trying to play by rules that don’t exist.

Those thinking that this was some sort of "catalyst" that Trump was waiting for to do the same (or worse) are clearly not paying attention. Trump would have (and will) abuse the pardon system regardless if Joe did or didnt use it for Hunter.

Trump was going to pardon anyone he wants no matter what Joe did for Hunter. Anyone pretending otherwise isn’t credible or hasn't been paying attention in the least.

Such a powerful statement from President Biden in pardoning Hunter: “In trying to break Hunter, they’ve tried to break me – and there’s no reason to believe it will stop here. Enough is enough.”

Good. All for it. Hunter was just a means for them hurting and coming after Joe. If I were Biden I wouldn't stop there. Protect against as much political retribution as possible in the next month.

It literally doesn't matter at this point. It will mean nothing. He will get confirmed regardless and they will do so smiling. We need to continuously remember it's a cult--and it's scary. To their followers and base they literally can't do any wrong. It will always be somehow defended.

Funny because its true, but also a stark reminder of how far we’ve strayed from normal governance. When the lines between entertainment, crime, and leadership blur, the stakes for democracy couldn’t be higher

Today's chaos feels overwhelming, but change is possible if we stay engaged and work together. Better days are ahead—let’s build them. #Hope #Unity

Lefty grifter. Scott Dworkin (or something like that) ran it. Be careful a lot of lefty grifters out there that have seemingly ALL migrated here. They are not "resistors" or allies. They just want your follow and likes so they can monetize and feel good about their big accounts.

How about just 1 thing. He is unqualified and was only chosen to inflict political retribution. Do better NY Times.

What the hell has gotten into all these media companies and outlets?? One of the biggest missed stories of the year is how bad the media has been and how responsible they are for getting us into this mess.

Sadly, people have given up and just don't care anymore. He will get confirmed and they will do it smiling.. Looking back at authoritarian takeovers through history, this is what happens.. Population gets apathetic and nihilistic. We are currently here and need to wake up very soon.

I wonder if NY Times realizes "they" are partly responsible for how we got here. Their odd coverage and refusal to call out the insanity is why we are here in the first place.

Really would love this if true. @aoc.bsky.social has uncanny ability to communicate and that's what's sorely needed now..She'll never get the far right lunatics but she CAN move ppl that we lost this year. Plus she'd crush it on podcasts and surprise people that have been "told" to dislike her.

Exactly! Like...let's find out if any presidential candidates told Republicans to kill a bill to fix this so he could run on it as a campaign issue.

Watching celebrity ‘resisters’ post screen shots of Elon Musk’s tweets from Mar a Lago on Bluesky reminds me of how f*cked we are and how many folks on the left got played by progressive grifters & socialites cosplaying as journalists. It’s an industry, not a movement. Don’t get fooled again.

Imagine showing up to a Thanksgiving dinner and you see this in the kitchen. What do you do?

Elon Musk has announced plans to eliminate the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This agency is responsible for protecting Americans from predatory banking, payday lenders, and for-profit colleges. Share to let the American people know what they voted for!

True. I was suspended over there for simply pointing out Tesla self driving caused more deaths this year than any vaccine. Elmo didn't like that.

The irony is that most these guys cosplaying as Alpha males are the softest most sensitive men alive. Remember these are the same "alphas" who see need in punching down, worshipping leaders like trump, and signing up to things like Andrew Tate University.

Obeying in advance: the kind of legacy where your principles get erased, but your unquestioning submission is immortalized.

Nothing says 'we're doomed' like the working class lining up to defend the people cashing in on their struggles.

The normalization of all of this is what's most sickening and freightening. Had media just given up entirely? Has any resemblance of checks and balances disappeared from our society?

Agreed, but this must be more than a safe space—it should be a "lessons learned" and a launchpad. Left needs bold voices to compete with the Elons, Rogans, and Tuckers of the world. They have the ears of millions of disillusioned people. Left has no response right now to that.

The comment section over there is a deranged cesspool. Part of me really hopes its all bots because i cant live with reality that those are real people. So vile, disillusioned and misinformed yet walking amongst us in daily life.

He also ran a reelection campaign promising to put the working class first but has so far invited five likely billionaires to join his administration. When do you think the MAGA base will realize they were conned? Or will they ever?
