I’m legitimately pissed off I publicly defended this loser shit party because people love to talk shit about how I’m too negative and they immediately made me look like an idiot
im legit cracking up at the “we gave functional criminal immunity to the part of the US government that basically ensures the legislature will never function again under a blue government while simultaneously giving free range to the fascist right wing party” revelation of the vichy dem cave bill

the media says it's Joe Biden's fault for pardoning Hunter
On pardons, Trump is no longer concerned about appearances or the pretense of propriety.
He’s corrupting the process; he knows he’s corrupting the process; he knows that we know he’s corrupting the process; and he’s doing it anyway. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

JFC is this bad. Straight up cash transfer to the shadiest Republican senators and an assault on the rule of law.
Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

this horrific video posted to social media shows at least four feds open a person’s car door, then handcuff and abduct them from laramie avenue.

putting his name on the covid stimmy was the smartest political move he ever made and he knows it
Trump: "We're gonna issue a dividend to our middle income people and lower income people of about $2,000, and we're gonna use the remaining tariffs to lower our debt."

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

bad metaphor because journalists want the water to win
That old metaphor about the frog and the boiling water isn’t true: If you put a frog in a pot of water and slowly raise the heat, the frog will jump out before it gets boiled to death.
The question now is whether American journalists are smarter than frogs.

Joe Biden will never get credit for his role in breaking the dam on this
It's hard to describe how quick and seismic the win on gay rights was. Like, I was an adult when WJC signed Defense of Marriage and I watched from there to Obergefell to teenagers being out in a small-town high school in the South. It was a sea change and it happened *fast.*

This is actually a valid argument imo and the fact that the cavers won’t make it makes the decision indefensible. People are right to assume disqualifyingly bad judgement or intentions in its absence.
i think the argument the cavers should’ve made/should make is “i couldn’t let people starve - we made a run thinking they would fold on aca, but trump really is that psychotic”
that’s an argument i think people could respect, but the won’t even make it

I like Josh but this is an incredibly obvious retcon of the shit he was saying all weekend
okay so Republicans who have literally all the power in DC took health care coverage from millions of Americans. Democrats tried for five weeks to win it back but came up short and so you’re enraged at Democrats. Okay, that makes sense.

the Twitter acquisition was a generational win for reactionary forces and all the “good luck with THAT lmao” smugging out is really embarrassing in retrospect
Elon buying X and firing everyone pretty much turned tech into a shitty place to work almost overnight.
OpenAI "proved" that LLMs are a viable product and X "proved" that you can fire large numbers of employees
(and, for that matter, Trump 2024 "proved" that wokeness was over and you didn't need to put up with any lip from your workers)
