every day i see hundreds of comments of people spinning elaborate scenarios to explain how trump can control everything and all opposition is futile. a) i think a lot of you need to log off and stop following professional doomsayers. b) i think a lot of you are cowards
Nah, they're lined up to get in on that sweet investment
Are you certain it's not the kid's dad? The kid barely protests when the guy takes the hat and puts it in the bag, then he hands the kid a pen.
Until she actually follows through by clutching her pearls, these are just empty words.
That… is the entire point of the Federal Reserve.
Witkoff thinks Trump only ended 7 wars? Didn't he get the memo that the number went up to 10 the other day?
I was so frustrated with those restrictive gas can nozzles that I've been storing my gas in 5 gallon buckets. Instead of a whole minute to empty a can, it's like 1 second. Some of it makes it into the gas tank.

Judas Priest misled me
I don't want the fact that my partner is an ardent supporter of Hitler and the holocaust get in the way of LOVE!
The law is a labeling requirement only... from the farm's webpage:
A label stating ‘not for human consumption’ is not enough. The dairy farm should use containers with stupid-human proof lids that can only be opened by feeding calves.
I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.” It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.
Democrats need to directly attack and pressure institutions for caving to Trump. As in, they need to give speeches and call out - by name - companies, universities, and law firms that have acceded to his illegal demands. If they don't, the path of least resistance will always be acquiescence.
Today's younger generation are also choosing to selfishly live with their parents instead of buying their own house and it's a total mystery beyond the obvious overconsumption of avocado toast.
For all those rightwingers crying about how “DeMoCrAtS GerRyMaNdEr ToO,” just ask them if they support a nationwide ban on gerrymandering. We do. They don’t. They’re not mad at the concept of gerrymandering, they’re mad that they don’t get to be the only party wielding it anymore.
Jesus Fucking Christ this is some sick shit that you're peddling.
A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate. And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.
I’m told I need to find a way to live together, in harmony, with these loathsome bigots, and I don’t really feel any desire to try. I would rather work to undermine them, to humiliate them, to deny them peace or joy.
It's no wonder that our prisons are empty since literally every trial involves a prosecutor or victim pointing at the defendant which automatically leads to the judge dismissing the case for violation of unfair pointing or whatever.
This motherfucker says this stupid shit on a regular basis and not once has an interviewer asked him to give an example of what it means for a drug that costs $100 to go down 800% or whatever the fuck nonsense. Goddammit I hate this dumb fucking piece of shit and the people who enable him.
I want to hear "We will" rather than "We can"
and THIS is why we need to lower interest rates to zero!
twosmellyfingers? Fucking gross shit and you're clearly obsessed with sex and children based on the countless replies where you bring this up, fucking creep. Get your pedo shit outta here
Nobody knows, but his supporters and the media can pretend that there must be some meaning behind his vacuous and nonsensical comments which allows them to project whatever meaning they want onto it.
I think 2 weeks is the correct time frame on promising a bombshell with no intention of delivering.
Chris was part of the cohort that organized the first union for Amazon workers on Staten Island; it’s time to lift up his voice.
"WE'RE RIPPING THEM OFF!!!" shouts the conman to his marks who believe that American greatness is entirely built on the premise that mutually beneficial relationships cannot exist, only ones where the the US wins and the other country loses.
Everything they do is adversarial to democracy and decency and is brutal on purpose, because it's not really about any actual policy. Some of them want to be able to punish people; others are more focused on controlling institutions. In each case, every action is an attempt to keep and expand power.
The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...
Obviously this is not a single-issue voter question. I'm arguing that there's no lemonade to be made here. The only people for which this vote would register in the slightest are people who are paying attention to politics and would never consider voting for GOP to begin with.
There are exactly zero people who will change their opinion of their GOP senator after learning they voted to confirm Mike Waltz as UN Ambassador.
What was the 3rd base coach doing?
gotta keep that crypto money rolling into the campaign coffers so he can continue making nice speeches
even if this were true... okay? What's stopping you from redacting it and sending it to a judge for approval?
God sure is an awful piece of shit
Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.
This is what happens when you believe that in a just world you'd have 200 billion dollars, but in this one you only have 2 billion
Pure evil
Where does the line between enforcing U.S. law & utter inhumanity lie? We don’t need to carefully parse its precise placement in order to understand that what this administration is doing has crossed it, is utterly reprehensible, and will be condemned by history open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
There would be no more traffic and everyone could eat as much ice cream as they want for free and without gaining any weight.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.
The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.
Imagine describing Hitler in 1940 being at the "top of his game" as he murders millions of innocent humans on his quest for power and domination. Absolutely disgusting and shameful.
Wow, you're a real piece of shit.
I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.
He's literally on tape behind closed doors telling rich people that he's going to give them tax cuts, but if called out for this he'd lazily respond "fake news" and that was enough for the media "fact checkers" to report "welp I guess it's not true then"
And your phony ass is gonna roll over and then beg for campaign money to "fight" for us.
How about we have party leaders focus on the words of a United States congressman - Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - who’s calling Black people “inner city rats” who leach off of America’s taxpayers. Stop the focus on municipal elections and get to this. Where is the censure and condemnation?
with showers!
I know I’ve said this several dozen times, but right wing lunatics frankensteined together unrelated Bible verses to create “the antichrist” and a description of what he would look like, and then the guy fucking showed up and they love him.
Democratic politicians are known for having a deep understanding of Islam and Islamic phrases and therefore cannot be Islamophobic, so you know you're in good company. Do you also measure your views on race relations with Democratic politicians to determine whether your beliefs are racist?
You could correct him, or you could just shut the fuck up if all you have is "will someone please correct him?"
Blocked. Is it JD Vance?
They are aware or they are not, but either way they 100% do not care because they're shameless hypocrites
The parents are black? I was certain that they'd be white given the scourge of reverse-racism that plagues our great nation.
They both get to finish their final bombing runs? Iran goes first and then Israel stops 12 hours later? There’s gonna be worldwide celebration? “God bless Iran”? The guy is literally terrified of the war he started, out of his gourd, and has a child’s grasp of the world. Why can’t anyone say it
The sex pest who gutted the welfare state? That’s who you want us to listen to? Interesting
Same, I'm guessing that may be why the post was deleted
"Donald Trump shoulders complete and total responsibility..." BULLSHIT. The US citizens are complicit in voting for this monster, and congress is complicit in doing nothing to stop him from gleefully violating the constitution and international law.
As a white guy I'm super embarrassed by all these white guys whining about how they don't get everything they want and it must be because society is discriminating against them. Fucking babies.
They're paving the way for terrorism and the ensuing chaos to declare martial law and seize even more power, right out of the authoritarian playbook.
We can undo this at any moment by dropping our precision targeted reverse-bombs which will reassemble the structures as before they were hit with our regular bombs, it's just a matter of whether Iran wants peace, which they do not, unfortunately. Now credulously repeat, media.
Please tell us your strategy for violating the constitution and international law.
illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president
Just to be crystal clear: bombing Iran is completely illegal.
We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.
NY Times Pitchbot Pitchbot
Please media. Educate and inform Americans.
I know this doesn't matter, but Trump doesn't know shit about baseball.
8 times, apparently, although he conveniently appeared to have no recollection of it during his confirmation hearing.
If you want war with Iran but don't want to be on the record for having voted for it, then publicly declaring that it should be up to congress to decide while standing back, doing nothing and watching Trump declare war is a win-win for these soulless cowards.
...at which time I will also release my tax returns, a new health care plan, and an infrastructure bill.
Why? How does this in any way help to make America great?
All this talk about the need for “civics.” But when Trump is walking around saying about going to war with Iran “I haven’t decided yet”; and “maybe I will; maybe I won’t”, how many media outlets are reminding Americans that Art. 1, Sec 8 grants the power to declare war to CONGRESS. Do your job.
Shouldn't you be jerking off in the hospital?
Yeah, there are echoes, but this is much worse. No real effort to persuade the American public or bring along international allies, no backing or buy-in from Congress, no pretense of a noble cause or anything, just one dumb power-mad thug being led to war by another.
As evidenced by history, everyone is always safer when police are present
“I may do it,” he told reporters on the White House lawn. “I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.” This is just the President of the US casually teasing whether or not he'll join Israel in a war with Iran. We are the dumbest country on Earth.
"I'm willing to send your kids to die so that many more Iranians will also die."
You're useless. Retire.
I don't understand how this is relevant to the topic but maybe you're testing me to see if I'm a right wing troll? But whatever, I'm happy to admit that I voted for Kamala.
wastefulness. give me a fucking break. what are we doing here?
Or, I don't know, the piles of protest signs strewn throughout the neighborhood is symbolic of the fact that there was an incredible amount of community participation in the event.
Totally. Isn't it annoying watching these huge protests full of amateur protesters, carrying signs they probably made just that morning? They just look embarrassing to us pros who are the REAL activists.
So it's your belief that people should hold onto their protest signs? Why? Like really, it doesn't fucking matter. People are going to join protests or not, and whether they use a sign that they created previously makes zero fucking difference to the cause.
How is crypto making anything better?
"quit drinking" should be in quotes
a press conference for the announcement of a strongly worded letter
Whiskey Pete knows a gotcha question when he hears it and he's gonna respond accordingly, dagnabbit
It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
No, that's not it. Read it again. I'll give you a hint... there is sarcasm involved and a play on the critique of expecting a minority party to "wave a magic wand" in the context of passing or blocking a bill when the numbers make it impossible
A comedian being dumb on purpose?! There should be a law against that, but in the meantime I guess we'll just have to respond like a raging idiot.
Does this actually help Cuomo?
those are just distractions from the other distractions, carry on
How many times did MSM credulously report that Trump has no plans to implement Project 2025 because he said he knew nothing about it? It's possible to both recognize the damage Fox News and rightwing media has done to the country while also recognizing the failure of MSM to report the truth.
Day 90 gonna be lit!
This is a vast improvement over his current situation. If the "evidence" against him is as weak as what the government has been citing to the public as justification for denying due process and sending him to die in a foreign torture prison (jfc), a jury should have reasonable doubts to convict.
