"Dems are pedos" is the tie that binds multiple disparate blocs to Trump. And it is within the power of elected Dems to make him look awful on this. You want to break off any remaining soft support he has left. Hammer him on Epstein instead of selling out trans people.
The MAGA coalition does not live in reality. They will accept every tangible evil this administration does for as long as they can because their false reality is designed to turn those evils into heroic actions. But Epstein? This is the kind of that will absolutely fracture the MAGA coalition.
Conservatives are Charmin levels of soft. The bluster conceals the cowardice. They are everything they mock.
"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood."
Not only that, but he does, in fact, have a real shot of getting 50% of the vote in a 4-way race.
You live on the farside of the threshold of The Golden Door that your not to far off ancestors strove to cross, and now you wish you were back in the stables of some inbred aristocrat polishing horsecock by the yard all because Muh Volk
Jesus fucking Christ these shitlibs are beyond exhausting.
I'm going to vote for whoever runs on a platform of disenfranchising this specific type of shitty centerist.
Weird how they don't have the same affinity for other "great" slave societies like the Aztecs or the ancient Egyptians. Wonder what the difference could be 🤔
The students who attend this school are going to be some of the dumbest adults to ever walk the earth.
Any Democratic organization still talking about "bipartisan" actions in 2025 is just admitting to being ok collaborating with facists.
Potty training toddlers require less encouragement and praise than the sitting President of the United States.
TCW is mad because Bluesky is where the people who are literate and principaled enough to recognize and call out his bad faith hackery all engage his "work"
Huge Grunt Style/Salt Life overlap in the Long Island suburbs. Usually guys who have their cars plastered in Salt Life stickers, and their bodies plastered in Grunt Style clothing
Tom Nichols is by far the softest piece of shit I have ever encountered on the internet. A shining mediocrity who cannot bear to face any pushbsck for his rampant stupidity.
Reconstruction 2.0: And You Racist Bitches Thought we were Harsh the First Time Around
"If it was actually genocide it would be more successful" is an argument you see constantly from people who have clearly never studied genocide.
Tom Nichols is a massive piece of shit who should probably shut up forever.
How can anyone back a transphobic crypto-conservative like Gavin Newsom when Pritzker is out here fighting Trump while maintaining his support for marginalized groups?
ok so the times witnessed reporters receiving cash from Adams people three times at mayoral events and sat on it for over a month but couldn’t pass up a hot tip from a neonazi about Mamdani’s unsuccessful college application for long enough to check if the neonazi had already been identified
This isn't "your" city, Ainsley. We don't want you. We will defeat you.
Do you think it is a failure to cultivate it or a failure to embrace it? I feel like their are a plethora of young, talented people truly dedicated to liberal and progressive ideas; but that the political machine actively denies them a seat at the table.
Expecting @worstpossible.world to be all over this

Cops and Major League hitters: the only professions where failing 70% of the time makes you one of the greats.
Any really New Yorker would've concealed their bribe in an Utz bag.
True. And I guess we do have to differentiate between opposition from pro-Israel groups and real electoral blowback, as the presence of the former no longer assures that you will be faced with the latter.
I want to believe this, but then I see the response to Jamie Raskin joining in the opposition to further transfers of offensive weapons to Israel and wonder if there is any sort of condition that pro-Israel groups will accept on military aid.
Every conservative idea about education runs directly counter to everything we know about how the brains of children and adolescents work.
Real "I got curbstomped outside of The Ginger Man for grabbing a girl's ass" vibes off of this loser.
I guarantee that every bartender in Gramercy knows this little shitbird and explicitly warns every female patron to watch their drinks around him.
Same. Dude is absolutely delusional.
Every successful political movement on the "left" (from liberal to communist) features wealthy class traitors. FDR is the best American example. Of all the billionaires currently positioning themselves for political power, Pritzker seems the most sincerely willing to play that part with real action.
While masked agents were violently attacking a delivery worker this morning, bystanders repeatedly asked to see their badge numbers but they refused. Bystander: You guys are ruining this country, you know that, right? Agent: Liberals already ruined it.
"Americans dying terrible, preventable deaths" is the common theme throughout the MAGA regime .
Now, tell us again that we are overreacting when we call ICE the American Gestapo.
So this happened in New York City. Just sharing information, like sports and weather.
This man is my senior senator and I hate it.
Bonus points if the trough is also where bar staff dumps ice.
In the span of a 20 minute walk I can go from wandering through a densely wooded park to strolling down a bustling street packed with people, shops, and restaurants.
Almost half of New York apartments are rent-stabilized. This would be a massive giveaway to landlords at the expense of renters, just so Cuomo can settle a personal beef. Perfect example of why he should be nowhere near any kind of political power. www.nyc.gov/site/mayorsp...
Remember that one of the defining characteristics of facism is that colonial/imperial policies of control become increasingly present in the metropole.
When your foundational belief is that property crime is worst evil to ever befall society, you can't help but be terrified of literally everything.
I would love it if we as a movement mocked the right for being fucking scared bedwetting babies about everything. I tried to advocate for this back in Bush days but it didn’t take. THEYRE FUCKING WEAK ASS SCARED BABIES TERRIFIED OF SANDWICHES AND TRANS PEOPLE AND BEING TOLD THEIR JOKES SUCK
events that completely isolates the US, Russia, Israel, and maybe a few hangers on from the rest of the world.
Not to mention that 3/4 of the US-Canada border is through states that might actively resist any such action. The logistics of an attack on Canda for Trump - considering his current domestic standing - are a nightmare. The rest of NATO would side with Canada. It could very well cause a series of...
ear should he start actually putting it in motion.
impose consequences on instransigent nations are currently staffed with people whose only qualifications are absolutely fealty to Trump. If Trump actually goes after Canada militarily, it would absolutely be his ruin. And I don't think those on the right that know that are the ones who will have...
Oh we know we're fucked. We know that the rest of the world sees the USA under Trump as belligerent and increasingly autocratic. We know they also see the US government incompetent. The time is right to start separating the US, since the institutions that the US government would normally use to...
Exactly. He was the monster whose actions other monsters viewed as beyond the pale. Same goes for Robert E. Lee.
I'll go low stakes here: despite whatever the Mills Commission, the state of New York, MLB, or the Hall of Fame say, Abner Doubleday did not invent baseball in Cooperstown, New York in 1839.
Watched the first half of the new season of Wednesday this past week, and Heather Matarazzo's surprise appearance had me thinking about the time in middle school that she kicked my friend Marc in balls so hard that he puked and had to skip football practice.
May they be cursed by the legacy of Zwarte Piet for all time.
far worse*
This really isn't true. He was for worse than most of his time.

This. As scary as American public opinion polls are, showing 30-40% of Americans to be irretrievably captured by the lunatic right, Israeli public opinion polls seem to indicate they are looking at almost double that.
Like it is a dumb beef to start on its face. And then you realize it is also pure nonsense. The dude is Trump-lite, making up bullshit to take shots at anyone who might make him look bad.
Jesse Hawley was either a psychic or a time traveler, granting DeWitt Clinton the foresight to compete with a not-yet-extant city in an area with a population under 200 when the canal broke ground. Definitely not a guy fresh out of debtors prison who was speculating on land in western New York.
"Democrats holding the high ground and deciding that the best action is to roll themselves downhill" pretty much sums up the last 10-15 years of American politics. Seemingly allergic to capitalizing on any advantage.

Mario and Luigi are Calabrese. Princess Peach is Milanese. No, I will not be taking questions.
The existence and behavior of the Cuomo family (yes,the whole family, who are all shitheels) proves that canonically Wario is Nablidon.
Cuomo is forever losing the fight against an ever-present impulse to step on his own dick.
Calvanism: Christianity's greatest crime
Agreed. I misinterpreted your original skeet. At this point, we should encourage and acknowledge anyone willing to leave the MAGA coalition. Judging the defectors' level of complicity and determining what consequences (if any) they should faces comes after their movement is dead.
Big difference between turning von Stauffenberg into an anti-Nazi hero and simply refraining from taking pot shots at a rube when they recognize and admit they were duped.
If Carl Everett was still playing baseball, he'd be shoehorning giants into every postgame interview. Truly the Christian right's strongest soldier.
the thing to take from Cuomo—a politician who was supposedly invulnerable and had control of every aspect of Albany—having a flailing campaign is that all of these assholes are really paper tigers who only thrive when their opponents are also cowards.
Israel declared war against Palestinian citizens long before 10/7, you ignorant fuck.
Yes, he's being ridiculous. But you wouldn't say the UK doesn't have a king. In both instances, they are still technically the head of state, even if they exist in a system where there is a distinct head of government who exercises actual political power.
Hirohito was still the emperor when Married With Children premiered. They definitely still have an emperor.
Nope, just invited him to the same casino twice
Check out the Dollop episode The Whale in Atlantic City if you want to understand in part how he accomplished this. Basically, he paid the world's best baccarat player to come to AC and the guy took the house for all it had, and they couldn't get him off the table.
I was in business school 20 years ago, so things may have changed; but back then his "business acumen" was a punchline and I had multiple professors muse that he may be the only real estate developer in history who underperformed 30 year t-bills.
Isn't this the women who Anders Breivik cited as an influence and quoted multiple times in his manifesto?
Pretty sure yoy alluded to this, but NYC's suburbs (especially Nassau and Suffolk) are even more over-policed relative to their populations than the city is. I think the big takeaway is that concentrated wealth brings overpolicing because police are the "public service" the rich care most about.
Is committing crimes against humanity an essential part of Jewish identity? Or are you just a fucking monster slurping down Israeli propaganda? Pretty sure it's the later
You really think you have something here, don't you?
Another dim response from a typically dim Zionist
Yes. Hasbara. You're a propagandized dimwit parroting the rhetoric of a far-right regime. You're a doorknob, only dumber and with less humanity.
I think the global community of genocide scholars does know what that word means, and they are also calling this genocide. Sorry it does fit your hasbara fueled narrative.
42 years in Nassau County and NYC, and I am still learning new insults for the glorified speed trap that is Suffolk. This is what the internet is for.
This statement is too generous to Suffolk
I think the office that AOC is going to run for in 2028 will be Schumer's, not the presidency. But either way, she is definitely positioning herself in a way that implies she will pursue a bigger prize than her house seat in 2028.
"Vote Blue no matter who" really paying dividends for the donor class. For the rest of us? No so much.
Hopefully he has 35k NYPD piggies crying come November so we can all have a good laugh.
100+ years later, we would absolutely consider the remaining nation-state the same entity. That is what happened with Rome.
Don't like this analogy because the seat of Roman power had moved away from Rome long before Romulus Augustulus was deposed. If the US voluntarily moved most of the vital functions of government away from DC to Denver, and then DC and the eastern seaboard were conquered by a foreign invader...
No, I will not support neoliberal bigotry because it might be slightly less conspicuous than fascist bigotry. I'm not selling out the vulnerable so that Democrats can maintain their consultant-approved status quo
How is "trying to winch back authoritarianism gains" not attempting to solve real problems for real people? This seems like a pretty shallow and privileged take, basically claiming that only the elites feel the sting of authoritarianism.
I guarantee that far more people have been anticipating a second stroke finishing the job. Does anyone actually want to read whatever horseshit this shaved ape's ghostwriter dumped onto paper? I highly doubt it
What perfect album came out when you were 16?
My interdisciplinary seminar titled "The Drug Wars", a blend of public policy and psychopharmacology.
Two favorites I have... Rocket City Trash Pandas and Columbia Fireflies.
