a lot has been written about how elected republicans are no longer the people who use right wing media to rile up the base, they are the most rabid consumers of that media themselves

Remember all the hype about how Uber and Lyft would allow people to live car-free?
Well, it turns out ridehail has no discernible impact on car ownership at all.

"The Dodgers bought a championship!" is maybe the most Not Knowing Ball thing you could possibly say about the World Series this year. Just an admission you watched none of it, didn't look at box scores, nothing.

I genuinely believe this is a huge part of the LLM worship; half of these people are functionally illiterate
Putting aside all the horrible shit in them: I cannot believe the global elite composes emails like fucking horses who somehow learned to crudely type. My emails read like Shakespeare compared to the lowercased, unpunctuated screeds written to the worlds biggest pedophile. Fucking write like adults!

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

NEWS: Senate Republicans are threatening to block the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies—unless Democrats agree to tougher abortion restrictions.
Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds
Democrats say that’s a nonstarter, arguing there are already limits on abortion access. The dispute could torpedo a deal, leading to higher health insurance premiums for millions.

All I know about this guy is from his Wiki page but it is pretty funny to see the notes about how al-Zawahiri and the rest of the al-Qaeda higher-ups were like "I don't think this guy is doing this for the true love of the game!"
Not that it needs saying but this is a good reminder that you never have to take anything Republicans say about Mamdani seriously.

"The relationship between Israel and the Jewish Diaspora." You mean the one where you constantly hit me up for cash while telling me I'm not a real Jew and that I better not make any other friends if I know what's good for me? Yeah, man, great relationship there. Really worth maintaining

Republicans constantly attack their Congressional leadership, and they remove leaders who fail to achieve the objectives desired by the base.
This 'infighting' hasn't been a 'distraction' or 'weakness' for them, it has produced victory after victory, including control of all three branches.

Oh yeah - never a convenient time to have some real talk about the dynamic that the Democrats in the Senate are led by bunch of chumps. Certainly not after they created the conditions for yet another base demoralizing surrender.
This kind of activity is just what you should want to see, if your are a Republican, eager to see the opposition distracted by self-destructive infighting.

When did the poppy cross the Atlantic to become an American thing? It feels incredibly recent.
In honor of #VeteransDay, we recognize players, managers and coaches who served in the military with a poppy on their page in tribute to their service.
