It would be quite shocking if these 7 dudes who behave like a cult members were all acting irrationally in the same way!
There's a big urban planning piece of this. Can I walk to daycare/school? Can my kids be on the street or at the park by themselves? Do I need a minivan or a second car, or both? Is my home a reasonable size for 5 or 6 people?
They could just release a 30 minute video of him swaying to music like he's at a Grateful Dead concert and we'd all know everything was perfectly normal.
delightfully, Boots Theory has its own wiki page and has been cited in actual economic analysis

Not surprising that the logistics of the amoral monster factory are beyond these guys. This isn't easy!
Sunday reminder that even the most venal, evil person of the century can be redeemed. And, indeed, he's been begging to be introduced to Jesus!
Rookie mistake, JD -- you gotta find the lich's phylactery.
He should say thank you for the wool blanket
"Look on the bright side: if you survive, you'll have a good cautionary tale about the end of democracy to share with your grandchildren."
Honest question: does anyone's public persona exude less thankfulness than JD Vance?
Well, I wouldn't say he turned, Bob
General? Sure. US General? No. We can call Osama Bin Laden a general, too, but I'm not interested in a statue of him.
I missed it, is the rumor that JD Vance went to visit Trump like he did with the pope?
Lego is no longer sending individual pieces to the U.S. due to Trump ending the de minimis exemption. This man ruins everything. www.404media.co/lego-stops-s...
trump take egg
On the other hand, in terms of on the job training, this man has vacationed almost as much as Trump has golfed, so, yeah, he's ready.
I can't imagine that MAGA would actually accept Vance as president. Surely the Kingdom passes to one of the male heirs, no?
... and future contestant on The Bachelor
Dearest Martha, The National Guard stand solemn watch at the Krispy Kreme tonight. I cannot tell if they defend the people from the donuts, or the donuts from the people. Powdered sugar hangs in the air like cannon smoke. Jensen took a hot coffee to the face, he may never recover. Yours in glaze,
Yeah, but this death cult is a kissing cousin of the one that controls the US government, so easier said than done.
Trump take house
Cranking these out is harder than it looks!
All is not well at the soulless monster factory
Is someone ready to stand up and say that they first gave their life to Christ in a Catholic school? Then maybe we can do some things to protect real kids and not just pictures of old guys?
Thia cabinet meeting was recorded in front of a live studio audience.
Really happy that Cracker Barrel kept their old progressive logo with the working class guy and the barrel, rather than moving toward the bland, ugly, MAGA aesthetic they were thinking about.
It is nice of them to make it extremely clear that the whole institution is beyond saving needs to be abolished
Yo, I don't have the cache of being the lead singer from Poison, or whatever, but I could write better columns than that guy for the amount they want to pay the assistant.
In general, you should not show up for work meetings drunk. But hard to blame him for this one.
Someone is going to reply to this with a Billy Graham tract or Roman road or something, right?
"A rising tide lifts all ships!" "Ok, but what if I don't want to lift all ships? Can we lower the tide and sink some ships so that shipwreck survivors are grateful for the opportunity to swab the deck on my yacht?"
"A rising tide lifts all ships!" "Ok, but what if I don't want to lift all ships? Can we lower the tide and sink some ships so that shipwreck survivors are grateful for the opportunity to swab the deck on my yacht?"
It turns out that at some point, rich powerful people don't want more money, they want more power, and the only way to do that is make sure there are people you can oppress.
Communist China, but make it tacky?
My brother in Christ, I'm fairly sure that you know the word the ancient Greeks used for intersex people.
Man should not be allowed at an all ages show
Famously, DC is a place where people are always late because no one wears watches.
Never beating the weird allegations
They not like us
I know Trump's policies are bad, but he has that everyman vibe. He's just the kind of authentic guy you could see yourself doing a debilitating amount of ketamine and killing an unfathomable number of people with.
Here in Baltimore this morning, where clergy and activists have gathered in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is set to check in with ICE this morning. Heavy faith presence in addition to, just, a lot of people for 6:45am. Kilmar himself is about to speak.
Tell the stories to go with the stats
the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.
Imagine watching Mr. Rogers and thinking, "Imma become the evil twin of that guy." Literal cartoon stuff.
No difference in your day to day if you're worth $30B vs $60B. But there's a big noticeable difference if there's 3% unemployment and anyone you treat like shit can tell you to fuck off and 10% unemployment and people desperately cling to their jobs even if it means being abused.
Trump fulfills a dream role: sex trafficker / judge in Mega-City One
Honestly you couldn't come up with a better SV stereotype
Is that even illegal in DC?
The Plot to Enslave America
Hey, is it still "seizing the means of production" if the government controls the economy but the economy doesn't produce anything real and is just a series of grifts?
The GOP is divided between the faction that wants poor people to die and the faction that wants minorities to die.
If the President's best friend does it, it isn't illegal?
It's be interesting to see whether the media would try to run the same stuff for the Yale Couch Effer as they do for Trump (probably?) but I doubt it'd work if they did.
it's very funny how anti-Trump sentiment is even on the non-political subreddits now
They might need to do additional raids to ensure that no one ever sees the trump-epstein files, though.
And our best way to solve the make loneliness epidemic.
Might be our most effective sanctions against Russia.
Here "woke" appears to mean "literate". How am I gonna know it's a cracker barrel if there ain't a picture of a barrel on the logo?
Nice that we've got a record of who should be dishonorably discharged
Trump take Christmas
The ghost of McLuhan in the machine.
Do pundits say that because they believe it or because they're trying to make it true?
We've reached the stage where rich people want oppression more than they like want more money. It's bad!
Here's a suggestion: na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-NAH-NAH-NAH JD's in a couch in a couch, JD's in a couch www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz-Y...
Please don't put in the newspaper I bribed you.
Need to organize this into songs like at a soccer game. If it's catchy, it'll stick forever.
Can I get 10 grand and a chopped cheese?
Seems to me that this will result in children associating evil with Prager and Christopher Columbus (which is good) and public schools (which is bad).
Slavery was and still is bad, actually.
"Mr. President, the scriptures are clear that God desires everyone to be saved. Unfortunately, our theology requires that you play the role of anti-Christ and bring about the end times, so, sorry!"
Of course, part of the reason for DEI is that incompetent white dudes like Bongino have been holding positions of power for all of American history.
Approximately 100%
Well known pedophile attempts to abuse older teenagers and 20-somethings, for a change.
And seriously NOT ONE of the Fox & Friends took this opportunity to lead him to Jesus?
I'm not totally sure you'd even need to give them anonymity to get these numbers.
The GOP is divided between the faction that are grifters and the faction that are marks. bsky.app/profile/qjur...
This is my favorite part. My weirdest baseball take is that it was more fun when the leagues had different rules and felt like they were playing slightly different games. But I actually don't want to see 162 games against the same 7 teams.
I'm a little torn between a) not wanting to see what Russia has on Trump or see the trump-epstein files and b) wondering "one is the one thing this shameless mofo is embarrassed of?"
Honestly, if the NATO could go forward without continuing to pretend that the US is a member, that might be for the best.
Even afterward, we don't know if they're really law enforcement officers, for whatever difference that would make.
Thread. The bright side is that this makes it much easier to say the whole organization should be abolished.
Seriously, where are these low prices?
Not even going to evict every Russian soldier from the White House...
One way to reach them will be stories. Personal accounts from polio survivors, people who've been poisoned by raw milk, etc. Folks have been led down this path by narratives and parasocial relationships. We're going to have to show them, repeatedly, stories that reflect the truth.
If I was the GOP, I would make those prisons much nicer and more humane. That's your future home you're building!
On the one hand, prison is horrible and we shouldn't have them. On the other hand, it may turn out to be very convenient that that the large group of people in power doing so many crimes is simultaneously building so many prisons.
Like, if you told me five years ago that a CEO got a $29 billion compensation package, I would assume he was very good at his job. I would not assume that he was a drug-addled Nazi in charge of a dying corporation.
Unpopular opinion (in the US media, at least) but I think we should go back to when being a Nazi or a Klansman was considered evil and stupid and totally disqualified one from basically any job.
Re-upping this one again, for no particular reason.
The GOP is the party of pedophiles and this needs to be hammered relentlessly by every single Dem. These people are sick fucks who think they won’t face consequences.
We're currently clean on OpSec
Please, I am begging you, help your children to make connections with actual humans.
Many people are saying that Andrew deserves to be the richest man to ever live. Corporations are tripping over themselves to offer him hundreds of millions of dollars.
