Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

if you believe that Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, I've got a $5,000 Trump dividend and some Melania memecoin to sell you

Gonna be awkward when the cops corner her and discover she’s a maenad as she starts literally tearing the lot of them limb from limb

What’s uncanny about this moment in mainline Christianity… the sheer number of people who are assholes “For the faith”

It’s so funny that PEG is having the same experience as every New Yorker did for basically all of 2020

It is funny when one of the fascists realizes ”wait this is all simulacra guys chill out”

oh my god this interview was a disaster for Zacharia. I've never seen Hannity do someone who works for Trump like this

Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

“Zelenskyy could’ve stopped this war many times, and he chose not to … he better damn well stop” — Trump is no longer trying to conceal that he’s fully on Putin’s side

I'm looking at this speech now, and that is absolutely not the fucking hero of Greek myth. The hero of Greek myth is almost always a dramatically tragic figure who is undone by their own character flaws. In fact, that's basically every single Greek hero. What the fuck are you talking about man.

"But Achilles wanted glory!" No, he didn't. He very explicitly says, "fuck this, I hate Agamemnon, and I'm going home," until Patroclus dies. The entire point of the poem is his rage and grief. Can anyone read a fucking book, holy shit.

AHHHHHHH THE ONLY REASON HE EVEN STAYS TO DIE AT TROY IN THE ILIAD IS TO AVENGE PATROCLUS. IT'S A POEM ABOUT HIS RAGE. THE OPENING LINES ARE PRETTY CLEAR WHY CAN'T A SINGLE DEFENDER OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION READ A SINGLE THING FROM THE WESTERN CANON AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I read Rubio’s speech where he does a Prager U recap of Ancient Greek history, and the funniest part is where he praises Achilles for seeking glory in Troy even though it means his death. Yeah, Marco, the Iliad is great. What’s Achilles up to in the sequel?

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.
