Nothing but half-baked logic and wild assumptions
It’s not even that. Being a decent man is actually pretty easy, it’s just that being a bastard is a lot easier
I think it was Ta-Nehisi Coates who said just being a decent man is a lotta hard work. These men never did a day of work in their lives.

This is 100% my nonbinary afab husband’s experience. Once the pressure to *be* femme was lifted, they could genuinely enjoy *choosing* to dress and appear femme (or not!)

In 6 months Trump’s going to give this dude a medal
An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Bill, we’ve been trying to tell you, we need to organize the spiritual attacks in shifts! Let the neo-marxists in more convenient time zones take over while you get some rest
Pretty tired today, I was up late spiritually attacking Jordan Peterson. More coffee! ☕️

Even better when it literally *just* disappears a guy and you have a full set of clothes floating in mid air for half a second before falling to the ground

Liberals say that the United States has gone from being a democracy to being a dictatorship. They're wrong—it's gone from being a republic to being a dictatorship.

“It’s not stalking, it’s called journalism” is such a perfect comic line I really couldn’t believe this wasn’t satire
thank you, muckraking journalists of the bari weiss tribune, for exposing the awesome stuff zohran mamdani has tweeted about like abolishing medical bills and seizing the property of millionaires

I’m ashamed to say I’m tempted to check this Torment Nexus out
Early reviews include:
• “why would you do this”
• “This is horrendous. You are evil incarnate.”
• “This is awful. Incredibly impressive but awful.”
• “It gives me a physical full body cringe”
• “congratulations on your torment nexus”

In fairness to this asshole, Dinesh D’Souza wishes so hard to be “white” that he probably exclusively eats Kraft singles on Wonder bread
I've also learned in the last hour, contrary to my personal wishes, that Brandon Gill's father-in-law is Dinesh D'Souza.
That means his own family eats like Zohran does here. He's calling his entire in-laws side of the family "uncivilized."

i know he's just finding excuses to be racist but it's still funny to be like this when we live in the country of the chili cheese fry, the walking taco, the fried oreo, the loaded potato skin, etc. there's nothing more american than lighting up a big messy pile of starchy goop with your hands
