This post by the world’s richest and most divorced man on the site he bought to promote his far right extremism is ripped straight from the Klan messaging of the 1870s or the 1915 film Birth of a Nation that inspired the Klan’s rebirth as a PR stunt/Ponzi scheme/terrorist organization in the 1920s.

My perhaps naive theory is that the Trump administration and their replicants abroad have misread polling that says people are concerned about immigration to mean the majority shares their slavering hunger for unlimited, gleeful performative cruelty.

Ok I thought this phenomenon was a joke about people (tbh I've only ever heard it about men) to make fun of how much they're into anime, like a schoolyard insult type "if you love anime so much why don't you marry it"

This is a real phenomenon???? That includes the PM???

It takes a special kind of delusion to tell parents to buy their kids fewer toys and pencils while bragging about building a new White House ballroom and gold in the Oval Office.
Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

Rand Paul on his healthcare plan: "What if you could join Costco? Costco has 44m members and if one person negotiated for all 44 and they bought a group plan like Toyota or General Motors does, they would be the largest collective entity in the country. They would drive prices down by sheer might."

At present, nearly 100% of our funding goes straight to our writers.

But in 2025, that isn’t enough.

We need full-time staff dedicated to pursuing our core mission as effectively as possible. And we need to make some major one-time investments to get us there: www.gofundme.com/f/the-libera...

Medicare *shouldn’t have* premiums…or copays or deductibles.

Medicare should cover vision, dental, and hearing.

And Medicare should cover everyone.

For many years, AOC had tons of fame and star power, but it never translated to actual raw political power. Now, moderates like Abigail Spanberger who feared being tarred as socialists, court her and she served as a kingmaker for Zohran Mamdani’s campaign.

AOC built her own political machine. Now she’s deciding her next move.
Seven years after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez leapt onto the national stage as an outsider, she’s learned an inside game and is considering a run for Senate or president.

Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert not as similar as people think. Greene grew up in Forsyth County, Georgia, which is incredibly upper-class. She went to UGA and inherited her dad's business. Boebert was a dropout, was on Welfare and came from a single family.

DTE’s got its hands so deep in our politics, they thought they could push this project through without full public accountability.

Turns out the people still have power in our democracy—and if you don’t respect their rights, they’re going to use it.
