The GOP hasn’t been a serious party for 2 decades, what a fucking joke
Jake Sherman • @JakeSherman X.com NEW -- LINDSEY GRAHAM says no way they'll extend premium subsidies for even a year. "And to my Democratic friends, we're not going to extend this program for a year, because that would be unfair to the taxpayer. That would continue a health care system that's out of control. It would enrich health insurance companies even more.

Jennifer Wolff, who left New York in 2021 for Connecticut but still maintains a deep interest in the city's politics, is Jewish and a registered Democrat but said in an interview that she doesn't "even know what party I'm affiliated with anymore." She helped organize regular marches in her town for the Israeli hostages. She said that what Mamdani represents to her is "a microcosm of what's going on in the rest of the world, and once New York turns in this direction, it is indicative of how frightening it is to be a Jew right now." She said the amount of vitriol directed at Jews after Hamas's attack on Israel was astonishing to her, and she has been urging friends in New York — on social media and in conversations - to vote for Cuomo, even though she blames him for her father's covid-19 death in a nursing home.

But according to a person who socialized with Platner when he was living in Washington, D.C., more than a decade ago, Platner had specifically acknowledged that the tattoo was a Totenkopf, the "death's head" symbol adopted by an infamous Nazi SS unit that guarded concentration camps in World War II. "He said, 'Oh, this is my Totenkopf;" the former acquaintance told Jewish Insider recently, speaking on the condition of anonymity to address a sensitive issue. "He said it in a cutesy little way." The exchange occurred in 2012 at Tune Inn, a popular dive on Capitol Hill where Platner later worked as a bartender and was a frequent patron while he attended The George Washington University on the G.I. bill, according to the former acquaintance. H would often take his shirt off drinking with friends late at night at the bar, and on at least one occasion had stated he knew what the tattoo represented, the former acquaintance recalled. Platner gave varying accounts of the image during this time, saying at one point he was aware it was a Totenkopf when he had first gotten the tattoo several years prior and at another time claiming he had not known, according to the former acquaintance. The mixed accounts indicate that Platner has at least long been aware of the symbols's connection to Nazism, even as he said in the podcast interview he was not familiar with any such association when he chose to get the tattoo.

The stupidest, most gullible fucking people

If you think Elmo is brilliant and intelligent, you’re barely a functioning human being
How big a factor was Elon Musk in your decision to buy the car? Shawn: Well, I've been a huge fan of Elon Musk for years. I mean, with what he's done with SpaceX ... Nanette: I just think he's a brilliant mind. Shawn: He is. He's an incredibly intelligent man, and he seems to push the right buttons most of the time. I didn't have a problem with his politics, anyway. I don't care about that, because that's just a sideline. That's not what he does. I mean, he's running these corporations, and he's building some really neat stuff. Even Tesla's basically just going to be a technology company that builds cars.

It’s always misogyny and racism with these asshole losers
JD Vance @JDVance *** Joy Reid has had such a good life in this country. It's been overwhelmingly kind and gracious to her. She is far wealthier than most. Yet she oozes with contempt. My honest, non-trolling advice to Joy Reid is that you'd be a much happier person if you showed a little gratitude

Spencer isn’t a good dude. This is racist, xenophobic horseshit, incredibly hateful, wrapped up in a gentle Mormon package
Shannon Watts Follow @shannonrwatts The Governor of Utah, Spencer Cox, just said, "For the last 33 hours, I had been praying that this person (who murdered Charlie Kirk) was from another country. That he was not one of us because we are not like that. But it was one of us." 0:45 • Last edited 8:36 AM • 12 Sep 25 874 Reposts 1,515 Quotes 8,149 Likes
