I’m saying after a decade of Republicans doing fascist power grabs, Republicans should not get any power for free. Republicans must be taught to value and defend apolitical institutions instead of pillaging them. They must learn the era of benefitting from double standards is over.

One thing we can’t do during the next Democratic admin is keep a bunch of Republicans in jobs they would never allow a Democrat to hold if they could avoid it. Creates terrible incentives. For example: did you know every Director in the FBI’s hundred-year history was a Republican? All of them. 🧵
"Kennedy’s HHS now has more political appointees than any other department, including much larger ones such as Defense and Justice. It has hired 264 non-Senate confirmed political appointees as of June...." That's bad. That's not good. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
So there’s a token and a counter-token and an exemption torch that can be doused by the water of betrayal but it backfires on a full moon and Kendra is sleeping with Mike but Mike is being pressured to counter-token Jessica but Kendra is her friend and also secretly has the exemption torch. Intense.

[Leaving aside how crushingly sad this is] the whole marketing push for AI sounds like a massive attempt at convincing people that they need help to do things which a) they are perfectly able to do themselves; b) don't actually take much effort or time; c) lose all meaning once automated

The trash opinion class subsist like leeches. We all knew this on some level, but this clarifies how literal the analogy is.
We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.
“Who has been polled?” he asks again and again. 3 hands raise in an auditorium of 300 people. 4 hands in 400 people. 2 hands in 200 people. Doing the math, Mike quietly realizes the polls have a sample size of at least 26 million; they’re the most accurate polls ever produced.
Mike Johnson: "When I'm in these big arenas, I ask for hands -- 'Show me your hand if you've answered a poll in the last six months.' There will be like three hands among 300 people. I'm telling you, these polls are off. All of them."
I actually want to see disconnected coastal country boy LARPers go all in on this “the cheesecake factory is for the salt of the earth working class” gambit. Then I’m gonna round up the hicks I went to high school with to go roll coal at the Cheesecake Factory. Get some cheesecake with the fellas.
GOP does nothing but gin up culture wars. Meanwhile: — GOP slashed SNAP benefits to 5+ million Americans, forcing them to turn to food banks. — Trump's tariffs and war spurred inflation, making it more expensive to eat at The Cheesecake Factory. Prices are now ~13% higher than when he took office.

The plan: get footage of the weirdest felon we can find, and cut a trendy documentary. The dangerous, criminal vibes, alongside the man-woman juxtaposition, will subconsciously prime audiences to see me as a sex symbol. With his newfound respect, Trump will call off his plans to invade Canada.
Since its release, "You Can See Everything" has taken pop culture by storm — and Nathan Fielder is emerging as the documentary's unlikely sex symbol. https://cnn.it/4yB7lsY
