Dude has totally screwed up the USA. I hope he fails miserably with Germany.
They understand that land doesn’t vote, people do. Why is it so big a jump for them to understand that crowd size does not necessarily equal votes?
All this reference to poo.. didn’t realize how fascinated brocialists are with scatology..
Yes, that is a tremendous self-own on that skeet’s behalf. I bet they don’t even realize it.
Well, HE is a WM saying it, donchaknow..
Easier to gaslight the ppl who had the stones to go into the arena than to own that one’s own caviling was a contributing factor to the ishshow that has RE-visited us literally with a vengeance.
He is among the “deplorablest” of all the deplorables.
Hope he makes that list public, so 1) we know who’s got their minds right, and 2) even more ppl will discover the extent to which he’s “lost it”.
Like I skeeted - as a nationally recognized journalist Velshi does not have the time for the back and forth and sealioning he indulged in yesterday, much less as part of a temper tantrum because NY Dem leadership isn’t falling all over his pet candidate.
Shirley Chisholm called it before I was even born. “[Black men] think I am trying to take power from them. The black man must step forward, but that doesn't mean the black woman must step back."
Any idea how many who present as female compared to how many present as male? Outing himself as a mondo Berner last night, I suspect Velshi has a problem with women who “sass” him..
Yeah I joined that club myself. Tbf, I said at least three things that may have pissed him off. Still doesn’t negate the fact that he’s not right, whether in relating “facts” that are nothing of the sort, or in his state of mind in general
The arthritis in my right thumb says amen.
😂😂😂😂 Yup. He’s broken and suffering mightily from male fragility.
And ffs LISTEN more than you talk, especially to the quieter ones among the “old salts” in the org.
It’s not usually a good thing to piss off a judge.
What happened? I got blocked by someone whose account I had just come across and I liked. I hit the follow button, and two minutes later she blocked me.
Me too. I wonder how many men who called him out got blocked compared to women?
Same world where an MSNBC host (Lawrence O’Donnell’s sub on Fridays) has the temerity to chastise a Black woman about the need to be compassionate… and then blocks a whole mess of regular ppl who call him out on his own shabby behavior.
If that’s good for you, it’s good for me. Down the oubliette they go.
*our professor (Sheesh!)
When I was in crim pro class at Gonzaga, or professor, a Univ of South Carolina grad, played a video from (I think) ABC’s 20/20 about “Driving While Black”.
I’d lay money on that skeeter being a Russbot. As much as blue America dislikes to despises Lapdog Lindsey, we wouldn’t spell his first name like that person did.
Maybe he hasn’t gotten around to screenshotting your full exchange? Or perhaps he wants to keep tabs on your account in case he decides to put you on blast again? 🤷🏻♀️
Btw, Ali Velshi has blocked every regular person on this app who pushed back on him yesterday, including yours truly. I do wonder, though, whether a few regular males were granted “clemency”.
Left or right, Western populism always centers white.
Bookmark this. Iggy or block the naysayers, stay out of the 2028 POTUS horse race speculations, and FOCUS.
Update: oh myyyy, as George Takei might say.
Anyone else think there may be a distinct possibility that the tweeted meme might not - uh - age well for them?
Same. Sent the link to my email.
As a friend put it, they're cracking under the weight of the fascism they helped visit on us.
is now engaging in some self-soothing in public, and it’s more than a little cringe.
Yes, he’s broken. A journalist has a fiduciary responsibility to provide quality, properly sourced information to the public. Velshi hasn’t spoken truth to power here. Rather, he’s had a temper tantrum, knows it at some level, has doubled/trebled/quadrupled down and 1/
(Kinda like a former Vice-President. 😊)
Yep. Speaks truth with the utmost class.
Yup. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com - get @katiephang.bsky.social to be your super sub and successor.
And you got put on blast because a nationally recognized journalist had a temper tantrum and decided to pull a George Clooney type maneuver… all because top leadership in NY at the federal level haven’t endorsed Mamdani. That is NOT AT ALL cool.
I mean, George Clooney wasn’t this transparent.
Dude is definitely broken.
Or basic math, for that matter.
Wait? This is about Mamdani? And exhuming 2016 in the process? Wow. I really am without words… at least, at present.
Okay, so it *wasn’t* just me.
I don’t call him “sentient Ken doll” for nothing.
You are far too busy a person to be holding an extended back and forth on this platform, much less sealioning regular people.
Madam, I’m sorry. Putting a regular person on blast is imo incredibly low for a nationally recognized journalist.
And anyone who thinks all they wanted was two minutes at the convention… I have a bridge to sell you.
I put that on my calendar as soon as @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com provided the information on @lastword.msnbc.com.
HAHAHA love that!!!
RECENT months? I hope they mean months including last year.
Yeah I love when I hear about how great the Scandinavian countries are. I'm all, "Hello, do you not see how homogeneous their people are?"
Gee, you put it up against this (pic below) and it's a matched set! Dayum, that horseshoe being a circle again.
And he's pissed off. Damn right to be. I'm never allying myself with left populists again.
On behalf of us all, #shutupSusan - unless and until you draft articles of impeachment against this regime and whip the votes. Your outrage is worthless otherwise.
I wish Jaime were still chair. But you can’t say stuff like that when you head an org. (Been there - and boy howdy I walked the line, in terms of when/whether to tell ppl chapter & verse where to go.) Maybe a conciliatory attitude w/leadershp needs to go out the window in times like these, though.
Welcome to my oubliette, troll.
And guess what? Her book tour starts next month.
(At least, that is where I first came across the phrase. Out of curiosity, I asked my search engine the origins of it - here is a link for one of the results: linguaholic.com/linguablog/a... )
Well, to have carried on a back and forth to the extent that you have done, you must have been at least curious. And curiosity is not boredom. Also, if you don't know the phrase "a hit dog will holler", you don't spend any time with Black people. That's a shame, b/c in diversity lies true strength.
Putting on my page as a reminder of "what should I check out next?"
Man sagt auch “a hit dog will holler” auf Deutsch? Toll!
anyone who wanted it all to burn will not be around to enjoy any risings from the ashes. Putin is loving all the discord, btw.
The delusion I believe they, and MAGA, both operate under is that if you burn the existing institutions to the ground, there will be space for their vision of utopia to spring up. Not so. Destruction is destruction. And even if something good came out of it, it will take so long that 1/
I’m with Jaime. Have a restful Labor Day weekend, everyone.
His wrinkled, rumpled, dis-eased ass.
Yes, he really needs to sit his ass down.
He lied about winning in 2020. He lied about the 2024 election being a landslide. He lied about voter fraud and election fraud. He pretended to have been vindicated in cases that merely ran out of time to imprison him. He ran as an open fascist who *still* wasn't honest with voters about his plans.
party's rise to power. (I'm midway through a series called "How the Nazis Lost the War.) I'm trying to learn, get inspired, and gain some solace by watching them - figure it's better than some bratty dude bro meh and dreck takes.
I saw someone share that repost on their Facebook feed. The sharer was of the belief that if Obama was weighing in on the building up of a paramilitary force, we were REALLY in for it. I thought, "In other news, water is wet." Personally, I've been watching documentaries on Hitler & the Nazi 1/
That particular picture of Charlie Kirk… is anyone else old enough to remember Squiggy from “Laverne & Shirley”?
Truly, his press conf this morning was so raw and heartfelt - I got a sense of all his feelings - the sadness, the remorse, the anger, the call to action.
Textbook wht womaning: protect that man at all costs, even their children's safety. Jesus wept, and I bet he's pretty pissed off, too.
And as far as aging, who TF does he think HE is, Peter Pan? Show us that made over hand of yours, Donald.
Before him, I never thought, "Will you sit your ass down and SHUT UP?" with respect to a POTUS. Now, and back in the first iteration of his regime, I think it daily.
May God Almighty strike down anyone who so much as breathes "thoughts and prayers" today. They were schoolkids at CHURCH. They WERE praying.
Your state has had a rough year, Governor. Fwiw a lot of us are heartbroken with you. Thank you for your compassion, humanity, and good leadership.
I have a t-shirt to that effect.
I heard Mayor Frey’s press conference. He sounds like a truly decent human being. I am so sorry about this - another needless mass shooting. Thank you for your work and your compassion, Senator.
I heard that part of the press conf up to the end. Raw, real, and - I just have no more words.
I call baloney. I’m a member of the bar (albeit inactive - feel free to look me up on the WA bar site), and I say you’re full of it. Lemme guess - you probably think Trump regime took power a second time b/c there wasn’t enough enTHusiASM for the D Pres ticket.
And this is why I do not join, and in at least one case, have left, feminist political groups. When the rubber meets the road, they show their wht feminist hides and confuse equality and equity, because THEY aren't the ones who are going to get the worst of it.
Kinda like I'm beginning to think that a whole bunch of people got their knickers in a knot because the pantsuit lady was spot on about the basket of deplorables and they hollered like a hit dog, even though she never called them out specifically?
Well, as I told a friend who is now an ex-pat in Italy, you can nonpartisan your way right into a dictatorship. Best thing LWV can do is keep their damn mouth shut abut it.
The CA League of Women Voters has already plastered their website and otherwise gotten the word out that, "Nope, we didn't send out this mailer."
Among Gov Pritzker's erudite speech in Chicago yesterday, he commented that Trump is defunding the police - implying that DJT is doing so by deploying the National Guard and ICE to do what the *police* are trained to do. Rep Bush and co should be careful what they wish for...
Reminder to self to watch podcast. Y’all should too!
THAT woman is the future of our party.
Yes, funny thing about those who cry loudest about the need for a free market: they also tend to be the biggest proponents of monopolies, de jure or de facto, or they take their toys and go home. Here's lookin' at you, Kroger.
Not to burst everyone's bubble (or, bubbly, as the case may be) - but didn't McConnell have a similar blemish/bruise on his hand? He's still around - not like he was, but he still gets a vote.
You bought it, Chuckles - don't act surprised that the Orange Ass-et broke it. Time for you to make like the Doormouse and return to your nap.
If I were the fake billionaire that DJT is, I wouldn't come for Chicago and a real billionaire. Definitely an #OrangeBadIdeaBear
YES. Louder for ALL the WP who need to hear it eleventy billion times before they "get it".
You don’t have to make whatever white guy was in front of a microphone today the 2028 presidential nominee. You can help with the 2025 & 2026 elections instead. You won’t spontaneously combust.
Exactly. They should be asking GOV Hochul, not him. Amazingly, a few WOMEN are in leadership positions - although if Project 2025 all comes to fruition, that will be a thing of the past...with the possible exception of a few docile tokens.
SCOTUS could, too. Use the shadow docket for good rather than evil.
The OG token says what?
You can thank the pod bros who were Obama campaign alums for that. They clutched their pearls and got her campaign all serious and fear mongery.
