Odrok the Deceiver

Huge headlines around the world. In major US corporate media, complete silence. Something fishy here.

Genuinely amazing that Rodgers, when grading on a scale for the GOP, is like a B tier candidate and he is still absolute ass

1. Lose election 2. Assume Trump will steal election for him 3. Trump is flailing around and failing to steal his own election 4. Oh shit oh fuck

HECKLER (in Missouri): "SHOVE THAT BALLROOM UP YOUR FAT ASS!" TRUMP: "Go home." Mercado Media

JD Vance: "We're self-confident men in the Trump/Vance administration. The president has been noticing a lot about the physiques of everybody lately"

Tim Scott is a piece of amphibian shit, in case you didn't know.

😐

Pat Benetar got Hollywood-ghosted after this song, and every Evangelical shitbag you've ever read about piled on. You can spot the kid-fuckers, btw; they are really obvious 😐 youtu.be/JUqptx_2OsI?...

I mean, bribing the enemy not to attack is called ransom.

This is right outside Bozeman so you actually should be able to get a better crowd than this

Is this good

"'What on earth were they thinking?' The answer to that question lies in the Trumpian brain rot that has infected the entire GOP. It’s a disease that convinces its victims that not only is cruelty the key to political success, but that the heart of the American voter is just as dark and ugly."

“I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them.” — KURT VONNEGUT

"libertarian candidate for state senate in north carolina is currently in a shootout with the cops and live-tweeting his planned suicide", while not exactly surprising, is still a weird thing to read

BIBLICAL, MOFO

Meta rolling $95 billion stock offering, anthropic ipo with $80 billion loss announced. They are thinking it's time the public eats this shit sandwich they've whipped up

The punchline is there's no fucking way Iran will settle for a billion dollars. They have Trump and MBS's nutsacks in a vise. They can ask for anything. Football helmets full of cottage cheese. Naked pictures of Bea Arthur.

I can no longer tell Comedy from Tragedy....

Yes, they're the party of hypcrisy, gaslighting, and pedophilia. Led by the biggest thundercunt on the planet who's worshipped by the stupidest people in America. 🙄

Broadening recognition of a shared global struggle for human rights and dignity is indeed fatal for Yglesias's worldview

The outcome of various federal elections in Germany in 1932 and 1933 actually turned out to be fairly relevant to those outside the country!

We've created the ideal Republican voter base in a tiny country in the Middle East.

Along the lines of, when your neighbor beats his wife, just turn up the volume on your TV.

I'm gonna be honest: my allegiance to the concept of Due Process For Everyone is fraying. Their guilt is obvious. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

Yacht owners will be living in a Far Side cartoon where the whales are all “Hold on, these things just crumple? Have they been like this the whole time?”

The laziness and boundless self-regard isn't an act. He's not nearly as clever as the people who pay him tell him he is.

did you have enough weird shit in your life already? no? well,

RIP to an incredible actor, Alfred Bester is one of my all time favorite Lawful Evil villains

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

To everybody’s dad who’s been watching those TV ads about me 👇🏾 I don’t have big money for ads, so let me talk to you directly. I’m going to protect your Social Security. I’m going to protect your Medicare. I’m going to make billionaires pay what they owe.

The US is not about to have a free and fair election. The state has put its thumb on the scale to favor the ruling party in multiple ways. It's a mostly free, somewhat unfair election. But still one where the ruling party can be overwhelmed by numbers. Hence the term "competitive authoritarianism."

Hungary's recent election was less free and more unfair than the upcoming US midterms, and pro-democracy forces still won. Similar point about Serbia's election this weekend. In normal democracy terms, America is in bad shape. But in consolidated authoritarianism terms, we're looking pretty good.

correct states further down the path of autocracy than us have had those autocracies overthrown by sufficiently large voting numbers recently we can do it here too

Yet another entrenched authoritarian defeated yesterday in Serbia. As the United States approaches a critical midterm election, Serbia shows that we can win despite uphill authoritarian conditions. It can be done. It takes all of us, especially young people. Timothy Snyder

sorry not sorry

That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

ICE is moving deeper into the Bay Area. Community defense starts now—stay sharp, protect each other, and fight back.

Thomas Phillips, longtime Republican chief justice of the Supreme Court of Texas, announces he's backing Democrat James Talarico for Senate. "Paxton’s longstanding reputation will embarrass Texas in ways our state simply cannot afford." www.beaumontenterprise.com/opinions/art...
