republicans’ closing message could not be clearer: they are the party of pedophile rapists

i genuinely think that the way this admin is treating Canada will be looked back on as of the most shameful chapters of modern US history far too many people are laughing it off as unserious but the reality is that they’re spitting in the face of our closest ally for no reason

Mamdani: "I continue to support Congressman Jeffries and his bid to become the leader"

People On Here realized a long time ago that constantly banging on about how the Democrats COULD be doing SOMETHING incredibly emotionally satisfying that would DEFINITELY work and make them popular FOREVER but they WON’T is an Infinite Attention Glitch and we’re all stuck with the results

When you think of it, ironic detachment is counter-revolutionary and harmful bullshit which never should have been invented and any proper anarcho-Bidenist movement should seek to abolish it.

A values system that views Pete Buttigieg’s time at McKinsey as disqualifying, but Graham Platner’s time at Blackwater as not, has beclowned itself regardless of the subsequent scandals.

Ate some shitty food and now I feel bad. What gives? How could this happen to me?

"Dirtbagism essentially authorizes any kind of dishonesty or cruelty if it’s deployed by people on the left. Proper progressive positions are presumed to be a pre-justification for bad behavior." This is essentially the philosophy of Carl Schmitt, "crown jurist of the Third Reich."

we put a SpacePak system into a century-old interior rowhouse, I do have some sympathy for the difficulty of retrofitting but no sympathy for the pretense that it’s impossible

i do think this is actually the perfect response insofar as it illustrates how these dorks actually just fantasize about getting to be the bullies in high school

A lot of people could back away from the very dark places they’ve been plunging into if they just stepped back and said “look, I made the reasonable inference that rural/blue collar America wanted better living conditions but it turns out they want hate. It was an understandable mistake”

They are clearly referring to the US you idiot

The last thing I really want to say on air conditioning is that insisting that you shouldn’t use it is a fundamentally conservative stance. It’s arguing that you don’t have to change because the world is changing. This is simply the hottest summer so far, and either you adapt or people die.

it has come to my attention that busytown is anti pig

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.” Revisit this story from our series “The End of Aid,” a 2026 Pulitzer finalist.

man, parker molloy is a humongous piece of shit

They're complicit. Rotating villain theory

So the Hungarian opposition's big idea was Vote Harder? And they thought, what, that they could vote the fascists out?

I think you are a profoundly sad and insecure person who also sells some of the shittiest t-shirts I have ever seen

No, the normies are protesting Trump 2.0 in far greater numbers than in his first term. It’s seemingly just the campus radicals who are arguing that they can’t do it anymore because protest is illegal now

one of the more remarkable trends evident in Trump's second term is that so many of the people who screamed bloody murder over the idea of courting moderate Republican votes in elections are actually 100% onboard with courting people on the right as long as they're cranks and anti-Semites

Person with political views reviled by 99% of the population: Yeah so we basically have a one party system.

Me explaining to Leftists that voting is a recurring responsibility: so it's like how you get charged every month for DashPass

bigger number is more than smaller number continues to be a concept most of this place does not understand

But the Democrats should Do Something*! * - something doomed to fail and make them look further impotent so we can wrong rock them, antiestablishment content rules everything around me

I don't think she would have

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

An extremely simple filter is whether or not someone uses “liberal” or some deviation thereof as an insult. Hasn’t failed me yet.

Another timeless gem:

This the skeleton key that explains the entire left-of-center political and informational environment. There is no social reward for ever saying anything nice about a mainline Democrat, so no one does. As a result, baseless antipathy towards the party completely pervades the environment.

the thing that gets me about the antivoting leftists is that they don't just want to not vote. they want to not vote and have all the rest of us admit how cool and good it is. a participation trophy for laziness

So, let's get this straight. Christopher "Moot" Poole created 4chan as a gathering place for hentai and CSAM enthusiasts, started /pol/ the day he met with Jeffrey Epstein, then /pol/ memed Trump to the presidency and birthed Qanon, a conspiracy theory in which Trump is a good person who hates CSAM.

maybe 2% of this place is even aware any of this happened, in part because they've outsourced their senate knowledge to a former social media intern for Tina Smith who now lives in Australia

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

I say this dead seriously: people like internet hippo here genuinely get scared when Trump and his people fuck up too bad, because they know people might realize "holy fuck this is awful, the Democrats were right!!", so they double down on Dem bashing to keep people from having those epiphanies.

"I have declared myself the base, yet Democrats insist on catering to African American women instead of me. This justifies my continued refusal to vote for Democrats."

Very real chance that the Rep coalition is in the middle of being shattered to bits over a heroically strong Minneapolis. Elected Dems are doing a good job of pressing their advantage. And a not insubstantial corner of this website is pretending it’s not happening because posting mad feels good.

Christ, this (from Lizza's latest) is pretty fucking damning of...literally the entire media(?) What the fuck?

fell for it again award

This says it all.

It's really funny that Darth Vader just has a bunch of buttons on his chest. I bet it feels great to press them and watch him lose oxygen or whatever

I’d never really experienced it much before but holy shit now I know what people mean when they say the Young Republicans has a domestic violence problem

Always surprised someone in Blink182 knew the word "commiserating".

I'm going to say it plainly: Vote scolding is good, vote shaming is good. You should be reminded that the choices you make have consequences especially if those consequences are dire. If you don't like people pointing out what your decisions lead to, try making good decisions.
