Wilhoit's law
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
let the Republicans become MAGA and the Democrats become the Republicans and someone starts a new party for all the people who are left

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

This guy was once banned from Twitter by Musk for posting child exploitation photos.

He spread the crazy conspiracy that Hillary Clinton & Huma Abedin raped/abused little girls & used their skin as masks.

Now he’s invited to the Trump White House. No words. You can’t even do an ‘Imagine if Biden…’

People who think removing DEI in universities leads to meritocracies, are too stupid to get into universities on the merits.

The media ran with the whole "Democrats must be flawless while Republicans are allowed to be lawless" narrative.

They cleaned up the word salad he spewed into tidy headlines and soundbites.

America's biggest problem isn't having a president who routinely lies to its citizens, including saying he didn't know what Project 2025 was, it's that over half of those citizens either don't care about or applaud the deceptions.

if there is one funny thing about yesterday’s blitzkrieg of executive orders is that it makes the “democratic opposition went too far last time” crowd look like total dipshits

I love the people who claimed they couldn't afford eggs whining about the thousands of dollars they wasted on airfare and hotels to attend the cancelled outdoor inauguration.

We're trapped in a game of Monopoly where oligarchs own all the property and the rest of us are simply making our way around the board trying to avoid financial ruin.

They've also bought the bank and the government, so they can change the rules to their liking.

It's game over or time for a reset.

L.A. is burning and what is Trump doing? Exactly what you should expect, spreading misinformation and inciting hatred and division. Because that's all he does.

Just because 80 million people voted for him and will now repeat his lies doesn't make anything he says any more true.
Don't forget that.
