Can they stop winning, you fascist collaborators? I hope not.

I don't think legacy media is reading the room correctly on the Epstein Files. Many of us are asking why they have ignored this story for the last decade? Why did they dismiss all of us who were concerned that Trump might be compromised? And where is their fucking contrition and apology now?

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Yes! Because famously, people with no power and no knowledge get all the best deals. That's why the saying is "divide and lose horribly" and not "divide and conquer".
Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

The Democratic Party is the Washington Generals of politics. They’re not trying to win. They’re not supposed to win. They’re only there to give the people something to laugh at when a dude from the Harlem Globetrotters pantses them and then dunks on them.

8 Dem senators voted to cave. The result was 60-40. If they’d needed 7 votes to cave, they’d have had 7. If they needed 10, they’d have had 10. All kabuki. All a big game.

This is why I won't even bother voting anymore if they cave. They'll let a few safe ones take the heat so the rest can wring their hands and put on a show of being sad. Fuck that. You can't trust any of them.
John Fetterman, Angus King, Maggie Hassan, Dick Durbin, Jon Ossoff, Jeanne Shaheen, Kirsten Gillibrand, Catherine Cortez Masto, Mark Warner, Cory Booker, and of course Chuck Schumer. Maybe others not top of mind. Not all responsible will publicly vote for the cave - that's not how this works.

Primary every Democrat who caves on the shutdown. If they're going to do that, then what was even the goddamn point of not caving instantly? Resistance theater.

Although I am fairly certain I would never say anything this embarrassing about sex, this is exactly why I would never say anything in public about sex: Because if I *did* say anything this embarrassing about sex, I would have to just walk into the sea and keep on walking. Better to STFU forever.

Fairly certain that these men urging Stone to launch his own menswear line are the same men, the big, strong men, with tears in their eyes, who call Trump "sir" before groveling to him.
if someone is willing to pay for the products, i'd be willing to purchase these items, deconstruct them, and give them to expert tailors, shoemakers, and craftspeople for review. i will also see if i can track down the factories. i would be interested to know if these items are made in the US

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Trump was gifted a crown belonging to a king who claimed power from heaven. Silla’s kings rose by centralizing absolute power… and eventually collapsed under the corruption and rebellion. This was expert-level trolling by S. Korea, but Trump is too absorbed in himself to notice he’s the punchline.
