MAGA, at its core, is a cult of abuse. The right to abuse, the justification for abuse, the dopamine rush they get from abusing others, is built into every policy, every program, every line of rhetoric. They identify with abusers because they want to abuse people.

Not to toot my own horn, but my 2 and 4 year-old’s new favorite songs are the entirety of my #NIN collection. Beat out the Barbie soundtrack and Shakira’s zootopia song.

Remember when Republicans accused Joe Biden of forcing a Ukrainian prosecutor to drop charges against someone and it was the worst scandal, ever?

I’m honestly baffled this doesn’t happen more often. The current media environment is disgraceful.
the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics
WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.”

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

While the GOP whines about "unqualified DEI hires" how do they explain this guy?

Though it’s been a shitshow of a year, it’s been quite good for music. Amazing new albums by Los Campesinos, Japandroids, Jack White, Dan Boeckner, and Kendrick Lamar.
Not the best year in music, but I’m more than happy with what’s come out.

Liberal outlets need to start doing “drumbeat” coverage of the real villains in America like the way right wing media pushes stories about immigrants and lgbtq. We need stories about evil insurance companies and church/cop pedos to highlight the rot of conservatism.

It’s now come out that the woman he assaulted was his daughter.
