Well done, John Roberts. Well done.

"I call him Moses. He goes by Josh. Josh Hannukah. ... We can't have these people in the United States."

regardless of whether you think the polls are right, the polls are wrong in favor of republicans, the polls are wrong in favor of democrats, or you just want all of us to shut up about polls, I hope we can all agree on one thing show up and vote to put these dipshits in an electoral dumpster

Looking forward to the apologies from all those damn libs who were complaining about how the Trump administration was only allowing white South Africans to migrate here

Surprising exactly zero people, "forgive my youthful indescretions committed at age 53" guy recently sponsored a law to get 15-year-olds tried as adults. nashvillebanner.com/2024/07/15/n...

“I think you’re all absolute imbeciles. If I pretend to be one too, will you like me? I could try having sex with a cousin, I hear you guys are into that.”

CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.

One of the most competitive House races in US is Wisconsin’s 3rd. Democrat, Rebecca Cooke, is ready to kick out incumbent and 1/6 insurrectionist, Derrick Van Orden. She joins me for the latest in her race, including Van Orden’s repeated use of AI-generated deepfake ads. youtu.be/vaWfahm9NLQ?...

Robert F. Kennedy Sr. spent his time in government fighting *against* racist bigots who said these exact same things, except their rants were against “Africans”

I still feel like all the street parties when Biden was declared the winner were just memory wiped. But we could have that again.

Well played

Not a big story, it's just the Attorney General working with an imprisoned pedophile to help cover up the pedophile President's crimes conducted with his best friend for 15 years, a pedophile who the President sent, as a birthday card, a drawing of a naked adolescent girl.

Don’t let the tank tops and bro talk fool you, Pat McAfee is softer than melted butter

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

The right can't seem to see the distance between "I just see trans people as people" and "I will force everyone to become trans whether they want to or not, so help me God"

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

You have to really, really, really fucking suck for your 8th grade teacher to come out and shame you like this. Damn.

Oh, man, he's so close to getting it.

this might rank as one of the most important outcomes of the night if it happens. would give dems the ability to begin to make north carolina a democracy
