The gas station drugs are calling, Robert…

we got a get this goober elected before we can get em selling the snickers-sized Xanax bars

With the dick vein ☝🏼

Avoid Feel Free.

This.. is the circle K I lived next to about 15 years ago. Holy what are the odds ??! They unfortunately don’t have any good pharmaceuticals (I always sourced my own).

is that a republican conservative? rare now they are just between kill all poor people (newsom) or kill every human with AI (thiel)

mitt had a campaign manager? fuck me man I thought he was just kinda wingin it back in 2012

If someone had told me even a year ago I'd be on the same side of history as Bill Kristol and Stuart Stevens, I'd would have asked who their dealer was because the shit they're on must be *wild*.

Take some Tylenol and drink some water you fool. Sit down with a 24 pack if you have to.

To be fair, Romney was on the last decent Republicans (yeah, I know: low bar to clear. Very low bar). He even voted to impeach Trump so that's something. Of course, even when he was in office the GOP was batshit insane.

Havana syndrome?

Okay but "there is nothing in the middle of the road except yellow lines and dead armadillos" goes unreasonably hard, I hate when some loathsome character says something that whips

Rest assured. It's stolen from Jim Hightower. www.goodreads.com/book/show/78...

My brain starts to shut down trying to handle shit like this now.

The sad thing is that the current Dem leadership doesn't have to stones to do this.

It's a wild ride when the left is getting behind people being heavily armed for community protection and a not insignificant part of the right is beginning to want to lock up law enforcement more than they want to lock up leftists...

...You can keep hating each other, and time will tell what methods of resistance are more effective, but anti-authoritarian is anti-authoritarian, and you can sort out the rest later.

There is a, likely apocryphal, quote by a Gaulist resistance fighter talking about another member of his cell: "the Man was a communist and we disagreed often and fought about much, but he died by a german firing squad while singing the Marseillaise and so that is all i will say about him.

The checklist of stuff here gives me the feeling and energy I felt when I watch this scene from The Untouchables with Connery talking about "The Chicago Way":

I guess this is the kind of thing that happens when you're in a dark timeline this long. You get weird posts like you just quote posted. Also sorry to hear about your headache, hope you can drink some water and have the right thing to relieve it. 🙏❤️

TBF Stevens (author of It Was All a Lie: How the Republican Party Became Donald Trump), is one of the few Never Trumpers to repent rather than claim Trump is an aberration out of step with the party they once knew.

On Mamdami "So the guy who wants to open maybe 5 city owned grocery stores is a communist vs the party that is out there taking 10%of massive industries like Intel? I think you run right at that. I would never run away from that

Welcome to the resistance, Stuart.

Hey we all agree on guns too. So let's start small.

It’s like the embodiment of that phrase “I’d rather have them in the tent pissing out, rather than outside pissing in” except this guy used to run a team of people pissing on us for years and he was funded by Big Asparagus. I guess I’m ok with the republicans smelling like asparagus piss for once.

from fighting Democrats to demanding more from them then they'll be willing to do

I did not have Romney's campaign manager going woke on my 2025 bingo card. Former Republicans somehow have better strategy than Democratic leadership.

To be fair, Republicans spent 12 of the last 17 years practicing how to be the best impression of a boat anchor they could be so they have a lot of recent experience for this situation.

For me, I realized yesterday the headache was the unrelenting rage that I have been suppressing

I can’t even process the words I just read I’ve been disassociating for so long. The headache is permanent. My body is heavy. All I can do is listen to the senescence burn in my own body.

This Republican is the exact Republican that Harris was trying to reach and 9 months of Trump 2.0 broke him.

This is a Lincoln Project guy. They're the "Never Trumpers" that actually stuck around because they have a spine. It's *almost* respectable. Harris was going more for people who are more salt of the earth types. Unfortunately, a lot of that crowd are irrationally MAGAts

The Lincoln Project guys all got moved into a higher tax bracket by tweeting stuff like this and then raking in donations from gullible libs. It's a transparent scam, but there's one born every minute.

Yeah, I still don't have that high of an opinion of Lincoln Project members. I don't give that much credit for barely hitting the bare minimum of not supporting a fascist.

He’s been a Trump hater since 2016 to his credit.

No it didn’t. He has been never trump since the beginning

congrats Kamala, they found the guy, now maybe the Democrats can start talking to the rest of their voters

They didn't even find the guy, because this guy is even more progressive than the voters that they were courting lmao

He can have his dissident movement, you can have yours

I read this. Thought it made sense. Had no idea the writer was Romney’s campaign manager. Call it a win for our side. Who was it that strapped a dog on the roof of the car for a long family car trip?

Nationalize SpaceX? What- what happened to Nasa?

We off-loaded much of their non-research mission to...SpaceX.

More like: NASA started buying services from SpaceX because it was cheaper and more reliable than the previous system.

And now it should be nationalized

It's maddening that he's actually giving good advice that they will absolutely be ignoring. We're in hell.

I'm at the point where I will accept just about any allies in the fight against these assholes.

And that’s how you know that today’s “Democratic Party” has devolved so far, that they’ve passed 2012 Republicans on their right. 😕

Whoa, big dogs! Big dogs landing on my face!

When the worst person you know actually says shit you agree with.

Problem is, about half, conservatively, of the dems in the house do not agree with this.

How much of it do they MEAN and will actually want ENFORCED is the question.

Why do they think they can, after losing control over their own party, come over and dictate terms to the opposition?

Because establishment Dems have been more than willing to welcome them in than their own long-standing supporters?

Tell me you have a better strategy then. Seriously. I don't care so much where the idea comes from if it actually sounds like it could work. Now is *very much* a time to stand on principle. But you have to know which principles matter, and which are just pearl clutching.

So if you don't have a better strategy, then it just sounds like you're just offering aggrievement. And Aggrievement Addiction is part of what got us here in the first place.

Real funny seeing these kinds of polits just go “Democrats, kill him”

They can read a room and aren't going to be the ones taking the heat when the Democrats regain power and don't do anything.
