Iād rebrand it as the āOne Big Billionaireās Billā
I guess our military service members are cool with serving a pedophile dictator.
Definitely. Another approach is to go ALL IN on their lie and start to ask deeper questions to expose it. This takes more time and frankly skill. Sort of the Socratic way of showing the absurdity of the lie. Just stop trusting your audience to figure it out. That sucks.
Itās weird to think posting anything about the primary 3 years out on social media has anything to do with that primary. Thatās why the primary existsā¦vote for the candidate you want. Stay in the moment folks. Fight the battles we need to right now with a broad coalition of people willing to fight.
Afternoon day dreamā¦. Biden sitting next to Jake Tapper, attending his funeral.
Andā¦ itās an illegal tariff. Everyone knows it, courts just ruled on it correctly, no one is enforcing it. WTF is wrong with our elected leaders? Impeachment is useless. Congress has been willingly rendered impotent by one of the most vile, corrupt, and morally bankrupt person alive.
So good
The follow up question is: ok, what action are you going to take? When will you do it? We all know itās bullshit, but call the bluff.
He needs to die. The sooner the better.
Their bigotry is not necessarily directed at their family members though. Some perceive their family as āthe exceptionā that are ok/acceptable. They just want to be able to hate other people.
Weāve been conducting this āitās not the gunsā experiment for decades and I think we have enough data to say that hypothesis is bullshit.
The only way we can get any gun control passed in this country is if every minority buys a gun. Make the GOP decide: racism or guns. As the Black Panthers demonstrated, I suspect racism will win.
Two children were killed and seventeen people were injured in a shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. A Cracker Barrel logo change received far more scrutiny and attention than any fight against the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Our priorities remain idiotic.
Realism is not doomerism. Doomerism is: āWeāre all gonna die, Earth will die, nothing mattersā etc. Realism is: āEven given maximum mitigation measures, weāre in for very rapid social, political, and ecological change, and we need to mentally prepare for it.ā They are not the same.
Really wish more prominent Dems would say this.
It sucks. Heās using them to terrorize the people that voted against him. This isnāt about crime, the president is ordering them to be a domestic terrorist.
Prices still high right? Just checking in on all those āTrump will fix inflationā voters. Itās so confusing how the guy who shits on a golden toilet and has never gone grocery shopping in his entire life doesnāt really care about you. Why??
Upset that they removed the cracker and the barrel from their logo? Way too woke! The US should take a 10% stake in ownership and Make Logos Great Again! On second thought, why stop at 10%? And convert them all to Tesla diners!
Itās because they donāt want to admit to themselves that their uncle is a narcissist, their neighbor is racist, or their coworker is a selfish asshole. Nuance provides an explanation to why some people are miserable and generally DGAF about anyone else.

Hey MAGA, Bolton had a copy of the #EpsteinFiles Thatās the only way this makes sense.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
This is the way. No one is perfect, this is just common sense.
California has walked the walk on independent redistricting at the state level for 15 years. But we cannot unilaterally disarm while other states throw out the rules to gain power. With one vote, Californians can punch back and also demand nationwide independent redistricting.
What do you think about this license plate holder? #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Cut immigration, cut labor supply, add tariffs on importsā¦ and voilĆ : higher food prices.
Controversial opinion: When it comes to US presidents, "blatantly breaking laws and violently violating people's rights" is a bigger deal than "is old," meriting greater public concern and a higher percentage of attention.
Blue states have been getting ripped off for decades. Say it with me: āInterstate tax deficitsā
To those mad at Biden, maybe he wasnāt that bad? Release the #EpsteinFiles
Release the Epstein Files!
itās become clear that state level gerrymandering bans were just unilateral disarmament and the only real solution is a federal gerrymandering banā¦ And the only way to get that is Dems pushing for maximal gerrymandering until we get a trifecta to pass the law and pack the courts to enforce it
Heās the biggest asshole and I look forward to the day he dies.
Are your groceries less expensive yet?
Things that are true: * The majority of POTUS ordered tariffs are illegal. * The GOP is actively trying to destroy Democracy by limiting the power of your vote. * They are corrupt AF and transferring wealth from the poor to billionaires. * Trump is a rapist, pedophile, and in the Epstein files.
Inevitably, itās starting to hit the fanā¦
We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.
Also rich itās the āfuck your feelingsā crowd that feels so uncomfortable. It is also more likely that based on their own policies they wonāt have to make a distinction between uncomfortable and unsafe.
āHe doesnāt give a fuck about youā is one of the hardest things for MAGA to accept. Itās so obviously true. MAGAās the mark, he got their vote, and he no longer needs them.
If by āweā you mean Republicans who cover for the rapist pedophile in chief, yes they are fine with it. We, the sane people, who support law and order, are not fine with any of it.
If you have a problem with people on the left saying āwe told you soā or calling you an idiot for falling for the con man pedo. Thatās your problem. Grow the fuck up.
If you voted for Trump, you voted for a pedophile rapist. Those are just the facts. The least you can do is pay attention and not make excuses for the asshole.
Republicans are empowering a child rapist. Disgusting.
The pedophile is going to pardon a child sex trafficker. This is what you voted for MAGA.
Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?
America elected a pedophile. If you voted for this vile person, how do you feel about your vote now? I am disgusted with everyone that empowered him. May you feel the crushing shame every day on your way to hell. #EpsteinList
look just bc epsteins party buddy is in the epstein files, letās not jump to conclusions that the notorious pervert who repeatedly bragged publicly about his sexual preference for young women (including his own daughter) did anything wrong despite how weird he acts when epstein is brought up
In 1999, Trump said on Howard Stern: āI have a deal with Ivanka. Sheās 17 and doing great. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her. So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.ā
Trump lied to the American public. He knew he was in the Epstein files SINCE MAY. Everything since then has been a cover-up. Bondi, Bongino, Patel, and Mike Johnson are all a part of it.
The dam has burst
The ādirt bag leftā
AOC discovering that the online left is a collection of the worst, most toxic people on the planet, whose sole function in life is to set up arbitrary, shifting purity tests so they can preen about their superior moral virtue while doing fuck-all to improve anything. Fuck them, AOC for president.
I think this is the fundamental problem with Wall Streetās TACO approach, it dares Trump to follow through. And at some point, if you provoke him often enough and donāt temper him with the negative market reaction, heāll pull the trigger.
But I'm not allowed to say that rural areas are shitholes, cultural & economic dead zones filled with highways & chain stores, kept alive entirely through ongoing subsidization from the very city dwellers they demonize.
For years, Trumpās allies claimed the Epstein Files would expose Democrats. Instead, Trumpās refusal to release them is exposing himself, and forcing MAGA to confront a worldview-shattering truth: Trump is the corrupt elite heās been warning them about.
Autopen hoax!!!
āSpace (I believe in)ā by the Pixies definitely on the playlist for the next few days. IYKYK
Ok we donāt need to talk about how Trump is on the #EpsteinListā¦ how about 90 deals in 90 days? War between Russia and Ukraine ended yet? Is it infrastructure week? Two weeks until the best Obamacare replacement? Howās that wall coming along? Is it built? Is it working?
If you can't put the pieces together by now, we can't help you.
Someone should ask Trump if he thinks Bill Clinton is relieved that the Epstein list didnāt exist.
What weāve learned in this cruel and shameful period is the presidency needs to be less powerful not more powerful.
How is it possible to believe the Trump Administration is competent at running the Federal Government? It's starting to get real and they are screwing up everything. The only competence they have is ruining the Federal Government. Just deplorable assholes breaking things....
Social pressure on Bongino needs to be turned up. We need to remind him as frequently, loudly, and directly as possible that HE IS AIDING AND ABETTING PEDOPHILES.
I remain unsurprised but still disgusted.
Resign. Stop selling your soul. Do something positive for yourself and your community.
This is exactly how journalists who understand context should be covering this kind of news.
it's so cool that everyone has just completely forgotten that the President doesn't have any legal authority to set US tariff rates we're like six months into an illegal tax regime being set by imperial decree and everyone's treating it like a totally legitimate thing
Itās a cover up for the Rapist In Chief. #EpsteinFiles
My rule: NEVER donate because of a text message. Block them all. Donate directly if youād like, but rewarding this madness is counterproductive.
Itās not possible to conclude the DOJās handing of the Epstein files is anything but a cover up for the rapist the American people so foolishly elected again. The cult of MAGA is stupid and full of hate.
Please, I am begging you, for the love of knowing things, understand Duvergerās Law.
There is a reason why two parties exist. Learn about Duvergerās Law before supporting another party. You either need to change the way elections are done OR displace/reshape/take over an existing party.
New rule: no criticizing the way others choose to resist unless you have a better, actionable idea and kind, constructive feedback. New ideas are good! Performative contrarianism is useless.
We could win 35 House seats & we need 4. Get to work.
Before you consider voting for a third party or donating to it, please read and understand Duvergerās law. Itās not impossible, but for a national third party to emerge we will need to change how our elections are done or replace the GOP or Dems. I suggest you frame this task in these terms.
He never built the wall. With insane funding for ICE, start asking the right questions.
I wish people cared about other people enough to make a personal sacrifice. Were humble enough to admit they donāt know everything. Understand that being emotionally uncomfortable is part of being a healthy adult. Accept that complex and persistent problems do not have simple solutions.
Mainstream media is making a good case that they should probably die.
ISTM, most peopleās political perspective is forged reactively. It is based on their daily lives, trying to connect consequences with causes. Itās too obscured from who, how, when the policy changed. Biased tribalism becomes entrenched to blame. I donāt have any answers. But it sucks.
ā¢ Mamdani is not in the country illegally ā¢ He does not have any connection to 9/11 or jihadist terrorism ā¢ Mamdani hasnāt actually said or done anything antisemitic ā¢ He did not call to āglobalize the intifadaā ā¢ Heās not a communist
Cowardice: Iām scared of Trump and his voters and need to go-along to get along with my GOP colleagues; Moral rot: I know the difference between right and wrong, and actively chose wrong.
Iāve been thinking a lot about Murkowskiās vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: Iām taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;
I call this āinterstate tax deficitsā We need to impose a +/- 5% threshold on taxes collected by each state vs money spent. If we can establish international tariff rates based on trade deficits, we can do this too. No more free loading states. Donor states have been abused for decades.
They are using FEMA funds to build Alligator Auschwitz
I donāt think itās messaging. I think itās the messenger and how the message is delivered. But I also think weāre beyond that point. Some people simply donāt care about other people. Consequences must be felt.
You need to start calling them out in public. You should have been calling them out in private. Stop being nice and get angry at them for their cowardice. Get them on record. Do a press conference with them. Set them up so they are secretly recorded, whatever it takes. Play hardball.
Schumer and Shapiro need to have a talk with Fetterman. I think all of this is due to his stroke, but the people of PA should have the right to determine that and replace him.
Yes. Safety net hospitals in urban areas will be affected, too. The entire fields of pediatrics and Ob-Gyn will be decimated. Nursing homes that take care of long term care patientsā¦
This šš½is a really good breakdown of what Zohran has actually said, and why the smears calling him antisemitic are so (intentionally) disingenuous ā including from his fellow Democrats. Full @qasimrashid.com video: www.instagram.com/reel/DLfhcQW...
Sen. Tillis is no hero for speaking out now. Heās a coward. We need to elect representatives that have the courage to ācall balls and strikesā ALL the time, every time. We need our leaders to serve the people, not preserve their power.
Sen. Tillis says he can now ācall balls and strikesā because heās not up for reelection. Leadership means calling it straight all the timeānot just when itās politically safe. This āBig Ugly Billā guts Medicaid, shortchanges our vets, and sells out working families. ā Congressman Troy A. Carter
I was willing to give Jeffries even more time to show heās worthy of being minority leader, but this is just bullshit. Time to primary and challenge them all. We need new leadership.
I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it. Source: podscripts.co/podcasts/the...
It occurs to me that many people cannot distinguish whataboutism as a justification from illustrating hypocrisy as a criticism.
Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.
"At any decision point, the GOP will behave in a way that is dumber & meaner than expected" is the only heuristic that has never led me wrong in US politics. People think I'm joking or exaggerating for rhetorical effect when I say that, but I'm dead serious. I can't think of an exception.
watching mamdani win and realizing there are competent people younger than me stepping up so I donāt have to is the most Iāve ever related to generation X
The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics
- Religious exception rulings apply only to the plaintiffs. - Environmental regulations continue to be enforced despite rulings against them (just not against plaintiffs). - and on and on. The left has to use this decision, not just criticize it. It'll be chaos, but that's what the Justices get.
The left better start figuring out how to weaponize today's decision rather than just (rightfully) criticizing it. - Go back into Judge Kaczmaryk's court to dissolve all of his nationwide orders. - Pass gun bans and insist any order applies only to plaintiffs.
