Well, to be fair we don't know what David did to incite this response.

Something, something...monkey cum.
And I thought my sneaker collection was "extra".
If they gave a flying fuck about crime maybe they would try to address the root causes. Crime to Republicans is just a pretext for social control.
Mass incarceration since the time of Nixon was basically Jim Crow 2.0. We are about to see that on steroids with this administration. We already lock up a higher rate of our citizens than any other civilized country. But somehow locking up more ppl is always the solution we land on.
Same. My mouth just curls into a weird shape and I struggle to spit out the words. I loathe her.
"Totally denies it" = innocent in Trump's lizard brain.
This is the more immediate concern. He will try to rig the maps. If that doesn't work he will work to purge the voter rolls. If that doesn't work he will use intimidation. If that doesn't work he will cry fraud and try to overturn the results.
But doesn't even mention the people in D.C. who are actually impacted by crime in their daily lives.
Gotta believe that an Appellate Court or SCOTUS will reverse this and hand the W back to Trump.
More likely some right wing appellate court before it even gets there.
Good and bad. The MSM used to be an institution that everyone trusted to keep them informed. We all had our different views and opinions on certain things but we were informed by the same reality. Now "reality" is a choose your own adventure based on media consumption.
Any Otis Redding song.
And thinks he has some special "mandate" because he won the popular vote.
Was thinking the same thing. "Why are they being so divisive?" "What would they say if we had whites only bookstores?".
*slave owners
Right. Like we can totally pretend that it never happened if the % of space owners was below a certain threshold. She is a moron.
I'll be that statue is in the crosshairs of the Trump administration. Looks very "DEI" and "un-American".
So, the discussion was laser focused on ending the war, yeah?
So true. What could be more horrifying than all the stuff that's out there in the public domain?
Meh, let's see him do it with a 27" CRT TV from the 80's.
Not everyone on the left loves Newsom. I hate what he did on his podcast with platforming fascist scumbags like Charlie Kirk. But you can't deny he is meeting the moment and one of the few mainstream Dems who is doing so.
Same for my 2 twenty something's who graduated within last couple of years. Job market is brutal for many career fields.
Totally agree that's what put him on very the top in 24. MAGA's only path to holding onto power is through election fuckery or force. Tools which, I'm sure they intend to use.
Doesn't have much further to go. Anything below 35 and you're chipping away at the core of his base which has been unbreakable up until now.
We get one last chance to hold them accountable, if we're lucky. If they hold Congress for another 2 years our democracy will be too far gone to save.
The best thing about these is not that they're hilarious. It's that they go viral and they are stealing attention from Trump.
The whole purpose of this exercise is to provoke a reaction and "draw the foul". I'm glad there are protests but I really hope they stay peaceful. One burning car or one thrown bottle will give trump permission to escalate.
I love that she has to explain it like Scott is a 5 year old. Any reasonable person should be able to see the double standard on his reaction to crime.

Concentrated poverty. Areas like this lack basic resources - jobs, healthcare, clean drinking water, education and most importantly hope!
Sure does. When all you wield is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
For some reason, the "not sure" people are the ones who send me into a rage. Do they have a brain?
You are honestly the best follow on Bluesky 👍!
Ugh. Can we please not again with Harris. Don't get me wrong, I wanted her to win desperately. But she is too establishment and too inauthentic to win a national election. The other 2 may be as well. I guess I prefer Pritzker over Newsom.
Talarico has the juice. He is a real rising star.
White people crime "doesn't count".
Republicans never have any constructive answers to the problems of black, urban areas. They never do anything to uplift. If anything they use crime stats to justify why they don't deserve resources and do deserve overpolicing.
Counterpoint: Assholes live forever.
Always. Whenever this "law and order" bullshit takes hold, you know that there are some terrible policies to come.
I feel like the Amadou Diallo case came right around the same time. Guy was shot at over 40 times and killed while holding his wallet.
So, martial law it is!
I feel like we won't get out of this hell for decades. I really hope I'm wrong.
Right? Call me cynical but if they've voted for this malignant A-hole 3x why are they just now seeing the light?
Makes no difference. They are "undesirables " in Trump's America and therefore must be persecuted.
Old school Corporate Dems must be replaced if this party is to have a future.
All you heard for first 2 years of Biden was "Dems in disarray". Meanwhile the Republicans are unified in their cult like devotion to Trump.
It didn't feel like we were in charge at all, tbh.
Watching his YT video right now and just followed you.
One of the few billionaires who aren't malignant assholes. Cuban is another one. Both could be amazing presidential candidates.
The "common sense" argument is a standard tool from the authoritarian playbook. Common sense means that you should ignore facts, data and the rule of law and instead defer to the judgment of dear leader.
Welcome to the Golden Age!!
This is true. Eventually you run out of witches to burn.
This is what every 2AM breakfast experience should look like.
"The worst of the worst". I feel so much safer.
Just picking at every scab possible to reopen old wounds. Such a pitiful, divisive POS.
Any institution that codes "left" is in the crosshairs of this administration.
Honestly, same. But I started to realize that progressives are almost always right. Israel/Gaza is one example where I had a much more centrist view of things right up until the election. The far left was right. I was so wrong.
This is what MAGA is all about. It's a rejection of pluralism. It's a rejection of a multi-racial democracy. It's a last gasp defense of white supremacy and what they consider the "natural social hierarchy".
When historians are asked what caused the downfall of our society, the answers will be racism and greed.
Feature not a bug of our education system.
This is exactly it. The law of thirds.
Texas and Florida have been fascist test kitchens over the last 5 years. Now they are executing their plan at a national level.
Unless you have a brutal layover/ flight delay. Then, the airport lounge is key.
Saturday mornings with Looney Tunes and a big bowl of cereal is how I like to remember my childhood!
"At First base - Bugs Bunny, second base- Bugs Bunny, Shortstop...."
Can't even bring myself to read the actual story. Show the receipts or shut up. End of story.
These fuckers. Always some group with Liberty or Freedom in the title. Every time.
Came here to say just that !
They're just playin' on he hits aren't they?
And it looks like Cleveland Browns colors, not Georgia!!
Who didn't belong and how was that determined ?
I was an Obama guy but I can't be mad at anyone voting for McCain. Always thought he was an honorable, decent man. Not a fan of his stance on the MLK holiday in AZ but I suppose that's a nitpick.
It's fine because we will be protected from drag shows, CRT and DEI.
It's basically Convict Leasing brought back to life in 2025. This was a very effective method of forcing black Americans back into slavery post-Reconstruction.
The thing that's incredible is that this country is already so segregated. There are places in America where it is literally possible to pretend that other races don't exist. This "whites only" community seems more like a performative expression of "you don't belong here".
Proud graduates of the Derek Zoolander school for kids who can't read good.
10 years ago I'd wager that disagree number would be less than half.
You can pack so much into this. Moral panics about gay marriage, desegregation, trans rights. "Won't someone think about the children?" is moral justification for the worst types of bigotry.
This! This! www.nytimes.com/2025/07/25/m...
Piper's Pit!!!! The Jimmy Snuka episode. If you know, you know!
This gets me choked up every single time I see it.
"Ain't no Viet Cong never called me n*****".
California should 100% stop. Especially if he continues to pull federal funding.
Strongly worded letter incoming.
If there's one superpower Americans have it's in their ability to look away from tragic news that doesn't directly affect them.
It's funny, I thought the complete opposite. The fact that he was being roughed up is what's making this go viral.
And the unit of measure is kilos not pounds !
Right? What's next, Hobby Lobby?
Nostalgic for the days when Neo-Nazis were deemed unworthy of platforming or debating.
I rarely drink it either. Unless I'm in a bougie hotel that serves fresh squeezed!
Truly dispiriting to think how many people exist in this country with these views. Ugh, how did we get here? If I had to pick one root cause - social media.
100%. I'm sure they feel like they dominated Mehdi. Facts don't matter to them.
He means we've societally regressed about 60 years. He's correct, unfortunately.
I'm so lazy now I could never imagine going through the trouble of opening the can!
Saving them for Discovery if he really does follow through with the lawsuit.
And they could have this same actress play the character now.
They cite the connection of race to class inequality not as something to be solved but something to be preserved.
I think it's pointless to debate people like this who spew pure nonsense. "That which does not appeal to reason cannot be rebutted. " Great quote from a book called The Undertow.
