I go on social media platforms sometimes to see what conservatives have been told to believe. Neoliberals are no better.

Trump’s takeaway from winning the presidency is that it allows him to charge more for licensing his name to people who sell cheap crap

Remember 8 years ago when it was a huge deal that Trump wouldn’t divest from his businesses? Seems quaint now

"FeMiNiSm Is WhY WoMen DoN't WaNt KiDs" No bruv, 78% of people 18-24 either WANT or are Open to it... The problem is our economy makes having a child illogical. We are robbing people of the opportunity - it's cruel. We HAVE to financially incentivise having children.

Today, #KashPatel sent a letter to my counsel @markzaidesq.bsky.social threatening to sue & demanding I retract my MSNBC comments on his unfitness to serve as FBI Director. This follows his threats against media & political opponents, showing how he might act if confirmed. I stand by my statements.

What an absolute legend

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

This has got to be the worst list of appointments ever right? Billionaires, sycophants, grifters and neocons. Can we get some fresh dirt drop on DeSantis now? (I heard he may be next in line).

The Trumpists who are true believers are despicable, but the Trumpists who know better but go along with MAGAism to opportunistically get their shot at power are perhaps more loathsome.

NEW on CNN: We uncovered that Trump's incoming-White House press secretary purged tweets from her timeline praising Pence for certifying the election on January 6 and praising Capitol police . Just a year later she ran for Congress denying the 2020 election results. www.cnn.com/2024/12/02/p...

NBC News is now reporting that Pete Hegseth's nomination is in peril. As many as 6 Senate Republicans, possibly more, are currently not supporting his bid as new revelations about his past continue to surface.

"“Pete said he no longer believed in God and family values. He claimed he no longer wanted to seek the limelight. He said, and this quote is as clear as day, ‘I’m a fucked up individual.’”

vanityfair.comThe Storybook Start—and Bitter End—of Pete Hegseth’s First MarriageThe defense secretary nominee’s first marriage, which sources say met a contentious end after he admitted to multiple infidelities, holds a key place in his ambition-fueled rise.

Fuck yeah, we'll take it.

IT'S OFFICIAL Democrat Adam Gray has FLIPPED CA-13 from red to blue, winning by just 187 votes. The House of Representatives will be 217 R - 215 D due to Trump plucking congresspeople for his cabinet. That composition will ultimately land at 220 R - 215 D (could be even lower).

And yet conservatives will be shaking their fists about Hunter. It's either performative or they have been repeatedly told not to think. 40/60 in this current political landscape. Ain't Matt Gatez a pedophile? 🤔

Reminder: all of these people requested pardons.

Would be more shocked if they didn't try

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Reminder that the woman accusing Pete Hegseth of assaulting her is a Republican, and the incident occurred at a Republican conference. She was there with her husband. Pretty difficult set of circumstances to dismiss as a witch hunt but seems like Republicans are going to try.

A key asymmetry of this era of American politics and how it’s covered is that Trump is expected to do bad and corrupt things, so when he does it barely qualifies as news. But Dems are expected to be beyond reproach, so anything that seems even slightly suspect is a huge scandal.

I agree. This use of this power given to the president has been upheld by norms that have weekend dramatically over the past decade. No one should be above the law, including that POS we just elected. In no way am I equivocating the pardons of Trump & Biden. Trump's are factually more reprehensible.

The presidential pardon, meant to correct judicial errors, is turning into a tool of impunity to erase the crimes of those close to power. This practice must be regulated or subjected to expert review to prevent partisan abuse.
