It’s only a matter of time until he starts appointing horses to Cabinet posts.

Can’t park there.

this is the reason these questions are asked. it doesn't matter how well el-sayed answers, the media get to write a headline with his name and the muslim brotherhood in it. heated, islamist, implications, criticize, disavow, dual loyalty, scary man bad

Get corncobbed, Tommy.

Confiscating the passport of the elected representative of the opposition territory in a raid with a flimsy pretext to attempt to strip them of citizenship is something we have words for when it happens in other countries

I suppose the only way to get to the bottom of this is with a whole heck of a lot of Congressional subpoenas starting in January 2027.

I'm against the death penalty in most cases for consequentialist reasons (you almost never are preventing future harm by killing someone already in jail for life), but even if I thought it was justified here, to livestream it is the policy choice of a toddler who masturbates while torturing pets.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

I’m sick of hearing “watch your step” and “there’s a huge dog turd right there” and “stop marching in place on top of it”. I want to start hearing about how my shoes are getting clean.

Honestly don’t know how we continue functioning as a society with such a small number of people vacuuming up this much wealth. Basically the equivalent of the US defense budget was rerouted to 500 people in just the last nine months.

Well, I’d like to see ol’ Donny Trump wriggle his way out of THIS jam!

What’s the opposite of “mind-boggling”? If I had citizenship anywhere else, I would also stay way the hell away from the United States.

Same-sex bathrooms, OMG!!!!!!!!!!

this is FAR more demotivating than some left wing shitposting or podcasting critic of the democratic party can ever be

Hmm, I think I have Serious Concerns.

Well well well, someone said the quiet part out loud

I've spent a lot of years studying a lot of collapses, and the truth of the matter is that they're always mundane: mild climatic shifts that reduce crop yields, a dumbass in power who makes some terrible decisions, neglecting things that obviously matter but the will to fix them can't be summoned.

LITTLE PIG MAN: Okay, yes, we did slam dunk the US economy into the toilet for the first half of the term but that just means the odds are looking great for the second half!

Lone Progressive Dissenters have the highest batting average of being correct in history, yet that does nothing to change the widespread conviction that today’s Lone Progressive Dissenters must be crazy wackos.

Go Sox.

Yet another issue where every single person who touched it needs to end up in jail for us to have any semblance of the rule of law. You cannot have a functional democracy where the government creates a plan to literally throw away votes from places that don't support the incumbent party.

Thinking about how dissonant Hakeem Jeffries saying "we have 5 working groups on affordability" is with the completely reasonable demand for righteous judgment on those who have wronged us

Look at this pathetic list. WORKING GROUPS. Where is “nonstop subpoenas and public hearings on the worst political corruption and malfeasance in American history”? Jeffries is not fit to hold the gavel.

“We have a warrant for your arrest.” “That’s not a warrant, that’s a Chinese take-out menu.” “HE’S RESISTING ARREST!” [batons, tasers, etc.]

the year is 2027. gas costs $83 and lettuce is at war with us. however every location on every map now says AMERICA

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

Over the last year, my household lost, on average, a hundred dollars or more a week with the grocery store. No more!

If you can find common ground with Jared kusher, but not zohran mamdani, you shouldn't be in democratic leadership

The president has a lady Renfield that sleeps in the White House crawlspace and travels in the wheel well of Airforce 1 and prints out his posts for him on a portable printer and wipes the poo poo off of his giant ass and that's supposed to be funny?

This is one of those arguments that sounds like slopulism but is actually, if anything, understated. 56% of Colorado river water goes to GROWING FEED FOR LIVESTOCK IN THE DESERT.

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

we're at the "they're arming unaccountable masked men with electric torture gloves" stage of fascism

the media when the centrist loses by 1% vs the media when the leftist loses by (less than) 1%

Take it to the bank, boys. This one’s just like Bart!

Prosecution for the ones we can prove broke the law, firings for the ones you can prove went against policy, rural Canadian border in winter, rural Texas desert in summer until they quit for the rest.

1. "They tried to run us over" has been institutionalized as DHS's license to shoot people. They reflexively go to this lie when they draw their guns. 2. Even with a masked man is waving a gun in her face, this woman repeatedly tells them they are full of shit. Hero.

every day, every hour, brings us images that are totally beyond the powers of parody

They're just coming right out and saying it. When body camera footage makes them look bad, no one sees it. When it serves a proagandistic purpose, everyone sees it.

media when maga wins an election: we must travel the country and speak to these voters and extend empathy to them and give credence to their bigotry and false beliefs media when the left wins an election: is this the end of the american experiment

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

F-F-F-F-Free market pricing??? But that would be un-American!

The reason Zohran scares the shit out of them so much is that they think this sort of technocrat FDR liberalism/market socialism will *work* and be popular, not that it will fail and be unpopular. They're afraid that he will be a good mayor not a bad mayor.
