Wearing a HR Monitor while taking a poo

Booty had me like

If we ever get through this as a country, and I think that is a big if, pieces like this one are going to be very important reflections on just where we were. And perspective on just explicitly why we can never go back here as a country

Trump has abused his authority to pursue ruinous economic policies for two years, and now he’s raiding the public coffers to bribe the voters he’s harmed in October of an election year.

it's funny because it's not that long ago that one could make the case that refugees coming here and buying a house and a car and some luxuries spoke to the essence of the american experiment. but it's bad i guess. obviously they must be doing crimes not getting good jobs and paying taxes

The fact that trollface dot jaypeg as a governing ethos is so paper thin and fragile makes the fact that the Dems keep harrumphing and sputtering and well I'ing their nevers feel like kayfabe

this is how you have to treat these guys. with genuine contempt. your genuine contempt makes their smarmy fake contempt look weak and inauthentic. it immediately exposes their game. these guys are just losers who have sworn revenge for every humiliation. humiliate them again

if youre a republican politician you have to say things like “i think immigrants should be thrown out of helicopters” because if you dont your opponent will and the only guiding principle of your political movement is that its the place for irredeemable assholes including your primary voters

i got so many people calling this tweet fakeposting back when i made it but since this is bluesky and things have less reach on here im just going to post the photo

Look you can say a lot of things about Donald Trump (80), and I have. But between ballroom and the pronunciation of the word vegan, the man is nothing if not laser focused on the main issues facing everyday Americans. Just straight down the middle of the fairway. Eyes on the prize at all times

however the election shakes out, a minor lesson of 2026 is that maine is basically an alien planet where everyone is a grumpy old salt retiree at birth and we should consider giving them to canada as an apology and goodwill gesture for what we did to the Expos

The fact is Trump not only lost his war but it's the biggest L the US has taken at least since Vietnam. Our bases are destroyed & abandoned, Iran is emboldened, China is toying w/ us. Hegseth & co want to move on to culture war slop, but they got routed & we'll be dealing w/repercussions for decades

"Why doesnt the Deals President do one of his famous Deals?"

I love how every stupid Trump thing is like "well, asshole. Would a moron do THIS?" And then he does something a moron would do

Ah well nevertheless

bad news babe a rogue openai agent must have hacked our refrigerator last night and drank 15 beers

Uh excuse me everyday Dems will wake up, force you to bow to Mecca for prayer call, and then transition your children. After a lunch of tofu they will force you to ride an e-bike to a DSA meeting.

I’ve come to realize a lot of people don’t care about anything until it affects them personally and he has deeply fucked up the economy and people’s ability to get jobs and go on vacation. American life has changed in the last two years, materially, and universally for the worse.

legitimately do not understand how anyone could look around & not see how severely the vibe has shifted. the zeitgeist is so foul rn

Until Dems can create a coherent alternative to “brown people took it from you” and implement a plan to make life better we’ll keep swinging back and forth until the wheels come off.

Child: This is my first time meeting a mayor. Mamdani: Wow, have you ever met a prime minister? Child: No Norway PM Jonas Gahr Støre: *walks over*

Christening a baby is nothing like christening a ship. I know that now. Once again I can only apologise.

Symbols matter. White House isn't a palace. Kennedy Center is for the general public to enjoy. We don't have a triumphal arch in DC because that's imperial. We don't put the president's face on money because it's monarchical. It's about tearing down everything that says we're a democratic republic.

trump & co have hit the accelerator towards the end of the US as a superpower i think mainly because they believe in their own propaganda. you're meant to bluster about iran, but actually know your military couldn't take them if they stood up to you. trump is too one-dimensional for that sorta thing

the whole world we live in is about to really change. hard to imagine that it will be for the better, but everything comes to an end. the world i grew up and grew old in, with all its various claimed values and espoused pieties - i think all that is gone for good

As I said the first time Trump proposed tariffs: this is precisely why he likes them! It makes everyone come to him on bended knee, begging for exemptions. It makes economic survival dependent on his whim. That, not any economic theory, is the whole attraction. Mafia boss thinking.

*Ray Parker Jr Ghostbusters voice* Bustin makes me feel good!

Trump, Vance, and especially Musk have largely succeeded in eroding the norms against overt gutter racism. We don't get back on track as a society until people that act like this are driven out of public life.

Well, sure, it is racist to say that. But it is also deeply stupid and dishonest to say that the US got “dirtier and poorer” when our GDP and air quality did nothing but improve over whatever arbitrary time period he wants to pick.

People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

Be honest did you even know Kamala Harris proposed that? What about her proposal to increase the child tax credit back to $3600 (the thing Biden actually did before it was reversed because only 49 Dem senators supported it?) It's interesting how little coverage these proposals received!
