Never Again meant never again to anyone. When you are bombing children, you are the bad guys. No excuses no exceptions.

Why would you think Shrub objects to fascism, he's a fucking fascist. Every Republican is some just put more effort into hiding it

Meanwhile, I am asking for the four thousandth day in a row whether George Walker Bush thinks fascism is bad, because he sure doesn't have much to say about it.

Calling the tens of thousands of kids murdered in Gaza "collateral damage" is really gross and you should feel bad about it you smug genocide denying piece of shit

You know, even if gender dysphoria was just a perversion or mental illness, what gives the government the right to stop people even children from doing what they want to their own bodies? That one owns one's own body is the core value of Liberalism. Because if you don't you are a slave.

Someone tricked them. It just wasn't Fauci or the CDC. It was all the right-wing echosphere who insisted on politicizing the matter.

If we publicly funded college people wouldn't need athletic scholarships. The most powerful bigotry in US politics is against poor people.

The pattern that has played out for last 50 years has been Republicans do massive damage to the republic, people elect Democrats to undo some of that damage but those Democrats instead normalize the awful shit the Republicans did.

No you are a dumbass bootlicking monster who supports the vilest actions because you identify with the villain.

This is the most ignorantly peddled and deeply antisemitic talking point of the Jew hate movement yet, and it is TIRED. It also makes zero sense to anyone who understands Judaism through regular and methodical practice and study. I don’t know whether you’re ignorant or hateful, but you’re wrong.

It's depressing that US politics so often boils down to vote Democratic to support genocides over seas or vote Republican to support genocide domestically.

The parties are not the same. The Democrats view us as cherished pets to be taken care of while the Republicans view us as livestock to be exploited. Neither of them think of us as sentient beings of equal value.

Tell me that you have never listened to Hasan Piker without telling me that you have never listened to Hasan Piker.

Anyone surprised by Massie's loss doesn't understand what we're up against. Republicans are authoritarian thinkers, authoritarian thinkers are conformists by nature. They were always going with what their masters tell them even if that means supporting pedophiles. See all of recorded history.

If you are more concerned with Hassan Piker than you are about your complicity in a genocide you need to do some serious introspection. Israel is an ongoing crime against humanity and it needs to be stopped. Rachel Corrie was murdered trying to stop collective punishment against Palestinians.

Hassan hates Democrats more than he hates Republicans and many of his fans will tell you this themselves as though it were positive

I will never forgive the Republican party for their treason and crimes against humanity. Nor the Democrats who have failed to call this evil exactly what it is.

Cohen demonstrates the perverse incentives in the world. He spent years doing evil for Trump and was generously rewarded, he did the right thing under duress and was punished then watched those who continued to do evil get rewarded. I don't condone his reversion, but it is understandable.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

This is why I'm voting for her over Talarico. I like both of them but I want someone who will go for the kill.

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

I find it hilarious that the CHUDs tried to punish Disney's purported wokeness by torpedoeing Solo, a movie about (checks notes) a straight cis white male protagonist. Nothing these dipshits do makes any sense.

Why do "leftists" have this insistence that Liberals accept your strawman definition of what liberal and liberalism means and ignore the common understanding of the term? Seriously it's fucking weird.

I hope that with the rise of righteous anti ICE sentiment people don't forget that CPB exists and is actually responsible for most of the violence and unconstitutional bullshit going on. Greg Bovino is CPB. Johnathan Ross is CPB. ICE are mostly paper pushers.

The Epstein evidence implicates a lot more than just the Trump. Also it's obvious a sore point for him so why not continue to remind people of it.

I take it seriously enough to call my shit bird Texas senators and ask the fuck they were going to do their jobs and remove that orange traitor from office.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Tried to tell mother fuckers that they call Afghanistan the graveyard of empires for a reason and now we're living through the fall of the empire.
