a bunch of complete cranks that are, still, a tiny minority in this country have been allowed to impose their views on the rest of us because not a single person in their party is capable of standing up for the public good in any capacity

I was not expecting this level of nerd in this thread. I salute you!
I would support Justice Animal, as in the Muppet.
i have to be honest i have no fucking clue what abundance is all about im just here for the memes
I'm more plugged in than the average Joe but not as plugged in as those who know what this is. I'd probably hate whatever it is.
I don't think it can be divorced from the increasing importance of the religious right in their coalition. They increasingly embraced the openly anti-science wing of their party until... well until we got here.
Can an audio engineer explain what's happening here?
I wonder if they had her audition for every clone
There's debate as to whether it was trying to warn her or trying to distract her so they could do what they did. I like that it's ambiguous for now. After that fight though, I'm rooting for our brave stalky boy over any of the humans.
The original mic drop
As a parent, I say this with my whole chest: these guys are batshit crazy.
I still refuse to refer to USDS as Doge, in part on principal, but in part because naming government agencies after memes is something Idiocracy would have considered too stupid and unbelievable to include.
Democrats in Congress should simply do the reverse of this and claim powers the constitution doesn’t grant them, either. Put out a press release saying you’re vetoing a law, make Axios report it.
Catching up on the week's news after getting back from a burn was not fun, but here ya go! buttondown.com/TrumpReport/...
That part is fine, but it's not what they said in the text of their post.
Some people just don't want to do anything. You can ignore them and keep it moving.
Enough with the backroom scheming. If Trump is serious about intervening in the mayoral race, he should come to New York City and debate me directly.
This is amazing. Just loads of people insisting he's doing a great job without being able to cite a single example of that.
Today is the first time I became aware there are people on this site who think Jeffries is doing a great job in standing up to Trump.
I believe they broke $200 million in police misconduct settlements last year. Budget hawks could start by demanding the police stop breaking the law.
RFK lied to my face. He said he hadn’t fired any scientists. RFK has fired over 3,000 scientists from HHS. It’s shameful. He must resign.
We are complaining about them because the country is one step away from a dictatorship and they are still doing things like calling on people to work with Republicans while attacking members like Al Green and Jasmine Crockett who ARE appropriately sounding alarms and actually taking action.
This is such a bizarre argument. Yes, Trump voters deserve the blame for where we are. That does not mean that Schumer and Jeffries are taking the appropriate actions. Should we not criticize Democrats who voted for his nominees just because more Republicans did?
I am. Should I be including that in every post on this site? It's going to take up a good chunk of the character limit.
I didn't say he could fix it. He could be sounding the alarm instead of talking about the need to work with Republicans for starters. He could be supporting impeachments for starters. He could actually endorse Mamdani for starters. He could act like this is the existential emergency that it is.
Bill Kristol should not be to the left of the majority of elected Democrats at any point. Ever.
They always just move on to the next topic. The appropriate followup to that clip is "why did you just lie to me about what you said?"
The president is using the military to terrorize cities and just conducted an extrajudicial killing of 11 people in a boat they admitted they could have simply stopped. Why aren't you angry? Why aren't you talking about it? Why aren't you doing ANYTHING other than talking about bipartisanship?
That they won't have any accountability at all and that Democratic leadership will go right on talking about the importance of bipartisanship.
“Women of childbearing age should just leave Texas.” Okay, aside from the economics of that... I’m an eighth generation Texan whose ancestors were among the first-ever to plant oats in places towns later formed. I deserve the right to stay here and fight for my home by telling the truth about it.
I've just started directly asking people telling Texans to move to hire me in their state. Oddly no takers yet.
Block don't argue Block don't argue He repeats a thousand times until it's seared into his mind...
Thankfully, they'll never be in power again after this and if so certainly won't abuse new powers given to the government to stifle the media!
Replace Trump with whatever totalitarian Republican is in office after he is gone. You have yet to actually tell us WHAT it is you want. What SPECIFIC action do you think Democrats should be able to take against Fox news that Republicans will not then be able to take themselves?
The exceptions you want to be added are not being abused because they do not exist. Do you think giving Donald Trump MORE power to attack his critics is a good thing? Because that's what you are proposing.
My point was that you don't even understand the basic facts of what you are asking for here much less the incredibly complicated ones that would entail what you want. And again, tell us how you would structure this so it would not be immediately weaponized by Republicans to punish their critics.
You are opining about creating first amendment exceptions when you don't understand EXTREMELY basic pertinent facts like cable outlets not having licenses. Such exceptions would be horrifically and immediately abused by the right.
Not actually advocating this but how hilarious would it be if it was Mamdani? 😄
There's a ToM (my #1 table) that's a bit of a drive. Will check it out now and then probably. :)
We just moved and thanks to this I learned there is an arcade with multiple new to me machines nearby. Hadn't seen it because they're not next to the road. Another a bit further has Addams Family. Now I just need to find Arabian Nights and Theatre of Magic.
Holding every liberal's hand gently as I say this but the Venezuelan strike or the National Guard invading cities or even the dumbass story about space command are not "distractions" from Epstein or the economy or whatever. There's no 4D chess here they're just very flagrantly evil and very stupid.
What if the people who said he died over the weekend were right after all?
This is absolutely not true. I'm friends with several of them.
Again, the key divide within the Democratic party does not map onto a left/right axis: It is between those who want to fight back forcefully, like Pritzker, and those who can’t/won’t shake the impulse to accommodate, appease, and uphold “normalcy.”
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
like if the baseline condition for your panelists is "does not lie to your audience" and "likes Trump" its basically impossible to book someone. They're either lying about the facts of the world, or lying rhetorically (pretending to be Trump reluctant or skeptical but are actually pro-Trump)
*sigh*
Yeah, I don't use it for posting at all. The rare times I look at the feed it's sooooo bizarre. Just 100% artificial.
How on Earth are we still doing "CEOs got where they are by working really hard" crap?
Gotta be honest, if I'm a Democratic leader in the House or Senate, and I see a headline like this, this late in the game, I'm resigning immediately. Like have some self-respect. Show you actually care about your country and just admit this job wasn't for you. This is pathetic.
Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?
What if he announces he got 4 out 5? :D
My needs are pretty simple as I have a small subscriber base but buttondown was very easy to learn. buttondown.com/TrumpReport/...
Burnt Soup is a small regional burn (as in Burning Man) outside of Austin. Lucked into getting this picture of the effigy, a bowl of soup, this weekend.
Congressman Jerry Nadler would more than likely have been reelected to an 18th full term in Congress. He's long had the support and confidence of NYC voters. Instead, he's passing the torch and doing his part to center and strengthen the next generation of Democratic leadership. (thread)
Sorry, wasn't trying to be argumentative. Wasn't catching the distinction between missing the order entirely and seeing it but missing that it was addressed to them.
I'm confused by what this means then: "They say they didn't file b/c they missed there was a part addressed to them"
I don't understand how they got from saying things like his election would be an existential crisis for the country to saying things like "we will respond to the unjust arrest of a congresswoman when the time is right" after said crisis arrived.
IANAL, is there not a process for notifying people about things like this? Both sides now say they missed a filing because they didn't see the order.
The live show is what sent me from fan to devotee. Just an insane level of energy.
I think the idea was for the plaintiffs to confirm custody completely independently of the government filing since the government has had some... accuracy issues.
Conjecture here but this may be because she doesn't trust the information provided by the government.
The future is so so dumb. 😞
You asked a computer to make up information and then it did.
There was speculation a few years back that he was actually illiterate when in fact his eyesight is horrible and he thinks glasses are for nerds because, like Musk, he has the emotional development of a six year old.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
Some artists will be fine with that. Some won't. Feel free to just ask. My only non-text one is straight off a reference photograph I brought with me.
Recommendations from friends and plain ole online reviews.
No, because it's just about race, not immigration status.
This dude could have easily written with Art of Noise
He was at least nice enough to put it in scare quotes.
I just got home from a local burn and this nearly killed me. :D
Because then they'll stop getting invited to the places where that happens.
Doctor Mike did a video on it if you're looking for similar information in a much shorter run time youtu.be/ptC8hgPpJy8?...
As awful as this all is, I still find them pitiable.
It's wild how often people from the NE seaboard know exactly how to solve issues in the rest of the country when they're absolutely unworkable in those areas. Use a train? Cool I can drive for 30 minutes to a station and take a 45 minute train ride instead of just driving 50 minutes to start with.
RFK Jr., driving away with Rudy Guliani tied to the roof of his car
It's ok because he said he never said that and why would he lie?
considering republicans are trying to traffic children literally as we speak, “we will protect your children from republicans” is a broadly applicable goal that seems easy to sell but i guess we don’t talk about child safety at the kitchen table?
Stole this but it’s mine now
A lot of weirdness here, but his business partner was dispatched to oversee medical care? WTF?
It explains every part of it
I want Democratic leadership to stop fucking talking about distractions and start saying these are fucking fascist bastards who must be defeated.
Pure fucking evil. Everyone involved in this shit needs to be held accountable.
These people are vicious psychopaths who delight in destroying families and harming children.
I long for the day I can go camping and not immediately discover something horrible the government has done upon returning to cell service.
RFK Jr. taps his top deputy, Jim O’Neill, to be the new CDC director. Both men appear to wear skinny ties from Otaa. Otaa's ties are made in China from microfiber, a kind of plastic that, under the right conditions, can migrate to your balls.
Like even if you hadn't read the Constitution which explicitly contradicts this, the last time this happened was all the way back in the ancient times of... last year.
I'm kinda in awe we can just go get them in Texas
I dare you to go to Annunciation School and tell our grieving community, in effect, guns don’t kill kids, antidepressants do. Just shut up. Stop peddling bullshit. You should be fired.
While I agree that should happen I don't see any path to it actually happening. The Democrats won't even support impeachment right now.
this is one of the president's' closest advisors. the mainstream media refuses to reckon with this so substitutes in a fictional sanewashed trump and fictional west wing in which loomer doesn't participate in their stories. telling the truth would not help trump so they don't do it
What amazes me about people with your level of wealth is when you generalize what your life is like to the rest of us. I see intelligent discussions here every single time I look at my feed.
JFC dont tell me it's another bounty law. 🤦♂️
The writer of Code of Honor ALSO wrote the most racist/sexist episode of SG-1, Emancipation.
Every time this repeats I find something new that was a horrible choice.
Newsletter time before I head out to go camping in 90 degree weather! buttondown.com/TrumpReport/...
I just discovered there is a British-Ukrainian opera singer who performs dressed as Batman and this has wrecked my day as I'm not getting anything else done at all. www.instagram.com/reel/DLcOQ7Y...
Joe Biden never looked as bad as Donald Trump does right now, nor did anyone in the administration or the political press actually treat Biden the way they are treating Trump right now (dying). That they whined endlessly about the one and have been silent on the other despite this proves the point.
