Sighhhhh. They're lying
They've been lying from the moment it happened. They knew they were lying then and they know they're lying now. They know that the words they're saying are not true. They are lying. Say it FFS.

Humanity's final irony will be the nuclear annihilation that follows an LLM being asked for strategic advice by Admiral Shitass and regurgitating the script to Terminator.

I don't know anything about photography but these Vanity Fair photos do speak to me.
Plainly the person on the right has sold his soul and isn't happy with the return, and plainly the person on the left has just been arrested for stealing jewelry from a department store

The GOP used to at least pretend not to be so blatantly racist, and would get angry if you accused them of being racist. Now people like Rich Lowry just don't give a shit any more and will proudly tell you how racist they are.
In case you were wondering, this oped is even worse than the headline

That it's so much easier to get Nico Harrison canned for trading Luka Doncic for 20 cents on the dollar than to get Chuck Schumer canned for trading the world away for a handful of pocket lint probably says something about our collective misallocation of accountability in our society.

Eugene Debs: it's better to vote for what you want, and not get it, than to vote for what you don't want, and get it.
Chuck Schumer: I just like voting on shit, who cares? Somebody put this pinko back in prison.

I'm just never gonna get over the combination of:
1. Dem rhetoric during 2024 was depicting Trump with a Hitler stache and calling MAGA fascist;
2. They were demonstrably correct; and
3. Their strategy for Hitler turned out to be just rolling over for him and hoping it'll all go away on its own.

Remember when people got really mad at me for pointing out Barack Obama did this for 8 years and nobody even pretended to think of him being prosecuted for it, thus all the Supreme Court actually did was confirm a norm everyone was already operating under?

Sure sounds like a foreign government (I wonder which one!) meddling in American elections. Democrats and Republicans alike have assured me that is to be considered the most vile affront to American sovereignty so I'm sure there'll be hell to pay when we figure out who did this.

ol Know Nothing Bernie re-emerges to back Trump's immigration policies and declare that the US wasn't a real country until we banned Chinese women in 1875.
Can we be done with this ol bitter racist wing of the labor left now?

Remember that scene in the Office where Dwight imagines having absolute power and the most ambitious thing he can imagine is co-owning a B&B with Satan and making $80,000 a year?
Anyway here's the Dems promising you'll be able to see the faces of the goons kidnapping you off the street if they win.
