Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

Yes, this is bad for porn.

But porn famously has no clear legal definition. As such:

This is a direct path to censoring anything the GOP wants to censor and can argue is “adult” - info on birth control, queer identity, anything about trans people or gender diversity or safe sex or HIV or drag or

They’ve ALWAYS been hypocrites, especially when it comes to sex (and a lot of other things, but especially sex).
Remember when the right got mad at a fictional character for having a kid out of wedlock?

Musk spreads his seed like a lawn sprinkler. They love him. Family values masculinity is out. Manliness now is about being a boorish asshole in public and fucking a lot.

Deflating -- but clarifying -- to see even mainstream libertarians like Cowen embrace bigoted buffoons like Rufo and Hanania. Cowen has long positioned himself as a champion of immigrants. Publicly praising Rufo after the Springfield debacle is a choice.

the only reason Khanna go so many views on his tweet is because it was quote-tweeted approvingly by Elon Musk. it doesn't reflect some sort of grassroots uprising for draconian budget cuts and he almost certainly knows this.
DOGE is a fake government agency designed to provide flimsy "innovative efficiency" cover to corrupt robber barons as they dismantle federal corporate oversight and sell the country for scrap off the back loading dock

any politicians or journalists helping the performance should be laughed at

Anyway good luck to jurors, the judge, court staff, and prosecutors, and all their families, with not getting murdered, and thanks to FedSoc types for bringing us to the brink of fascism so you could weaken Chevron deference
Anyway the most recent former President of the United States has been found guilty of felonies and now there’s a substantial chance people are going to die because his followers are freaks and the so-called “mainstream” GOP will just shrug and blame woke or something.

And as @davidaustinwalsh.bsky.social’s new book makes clear, that narrative was always a lie.
For the longest time the right peddled a self-congratulatory narrative that had as one of its most defining moments of the Civil Rights era the supposedly decisive excommunication of the John Birch Society by National Review’s William F. Buckley.

Welp.
