Epstein victims news conference this week - prepare for the worst distraction he can muster
This is just absurd at this point
The guy is singlehandedly in charge of the decision to use nuclear weapons and we need to be a lot more concerned about all of this. I dunno if most people realize there's absolutely no legal way for the military to refuse a strike order. This isn't a movie where some hero saves the day in the end.
Curious how it will be applied with Vance in charge (which at this point seems likely before 2028 given the president's obvious health problems). I don't think anyone but Trump would have been given the same leeway by the justices even another republican
I’m still waiting for people on the left to learn their lessons from 16 and 24 so don’t hold your breath
...like, how important are those ratings going to be when there's no longer a free press. Did any of them realize that the monster they were propping up would eventually be their downfall?
The media was more focused with creating drama scandal when Biden was in office because there always has to be something to "drive them ratings." That and pretending both sides are "equal" so they don't get accused of bias or they don't lose right wing viewers. Meanwhile the republic is burning down
Methinks he doth protest too much
Current scene
Gascan Tanner Scott strikes again 😖
It’s actually the “but her emails/she’s not Bernie/etc” crowd’s fault but whatever there are plenty others to blame as well
Biden was too old for the office but he had a stutter and the world flipped out. Compare that to how trump’s obvious mental decline and terrible physical condition are being handled
Damn now I need to watch this. Classic from my childhood
Well a bunch of kids just got murdered in a church and y'all seem to be out of ideas so ::shrug::
The Stanley Cup is amazing, pick a different example
Fantasy football is a hobby I really look forward to every Fall but it pretty much requires that you engage with the hellscape musk website, and that sucks.
We're still locked into a 40 hour workweek like it's 1985 when technological advances and increased efficiencies no longer make it necessary for workers to show up for a typical schedule. Also if they want to bitch about "wage theft" they can start paying me for the time spent on my commute too.
Transgender rights are the new "abortion wedge issue" since they don't have that topic to wield anymore. They're just gonna keep beating it to death as long as they think it will score political points
AOC is a few cycles away from running at least. She'll need some time in the Senate before she'll be considered a serious candidate. Hopefully Chuck steps down eventually.
We were pretty excited to see him go here in Dodger-land
These ghouls blamed mental health drugs almost immediately after the tragedy through their worm-brained HHS secretary
Yeah I don’t know why I’m surprised since so many mlb players tend to be maga but that really disappoints me
Ugh x 2
Wait what did Edman and Kopech do?
Alright this is now added to my ballpark bucket list
It’s true…
Yeah but knowing our luck that POS will live into his 90s like his father
🎯
The letdown will suck but allow us this brief moment of mirth
This enrages me. She a traitor and should be treated accordingly
It's another clear message to the rest of his insurrectionist base: fight for me and you will be honored
Any baseball fan who has seen their team in the playoffs with one more out to go for the series in the bottom of the 9th and the opposing team with the tying run on knows the vibe right now
🙏
Blake might have to go on the IL for bereavement leave
At first I thought you meant some kind of supernatural sign like in the Omen, but those things are relevant too
I think any of us could look like a Cy Young candidate with the zone this ump is allowing
Is there a reason why every opposing pitcher having a mid season needs to bring their Cy Young game when they play the Dodgers this year?
Not looking forward to the North Korea style MAGA funeral
Did something happen? I don't think we're that lucky
I live in a right leaning suburb outside of Denver. Nothing about what New York does relates to what voters want here at all. Quite the opposite, most of them view New York/Chicago/etc like some foreign hellscape with Mad Max shit going on every night. Policy should be targeted and regional
Oh they see the possibilities - they're encouraging a violent encounter to create a pretext for more aggressive tactics nationwide
The answer lies with the sending troops to cities and allowing federal officers to act like brownshirt goons. They can’t outright cancel elections because those are state run under the constitution. They can sure as hell influence and manipulate them though. Plus they want the fake legitimacy
If all of those potentially deadly viruses can just hold off on mutating for the next 3-4 years that would be swell. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
If he clears waivers I don’t see why they shouldn’t take a shot on figuring out whatever was wrong. Could use all the arms we can get.
2026 election gonna be wild when he starts seizing blue cities and polling places in November
Bye Felicia
He’s living until he’s 90 folks put the confetti away. Or if y’all haven’t been awake the last 10 years - we just aren’t that lucky
Agreed. I’ll just add that journalists are also more hyper-aware of their image and reputations than they used to be before the onset of the internet and online media etc. These days they’ll be called a “liberal shill” all over X if they dare to show a hint of balance in their coverage.
The media is just utterly failing to meet this moment. It’s wild to watch them just lay down and capitulate under some false premise of having to portray “both sides.” How about this: when it’s been democracy and fascism there aren’t two sides that both deserve the same coverage
He’s laying the ground work to steal the next election and also normalizing his military goons patrolling blue cities so they will quash the inevitable social unrest that will happen when the results are obviously bullshit
Fuck that guy forever
Since the rest of the constitution doesn't seem to matter anymore I don't see why the 2nd amendment should get in the way of gun legislation now. The document isn't an ala carte menu, either it all counts or it doesn't. If gun nuts have a problem with that they can blame this administration.
So after years of being told that guns aren’t the problem, it’s people with mental issues…we’re now going to remove treatments for mental issues. Ok.
I live around a lot of people who still wear his shirts and hats to the gym etc. Angry, entitled middle age white assholes who feel like they are being oppressed by a rapidly changing culture and the only answer to their "problems" is someone who wants to take a torch to it all
Since every other part of the constitution doesn’t seem to matter to this administration I guess we can just ignore the 2nd amendment from now on too
Of all the times places that needed a large sinkhole to suddenly open up, this time/place needed it the most
@sickoscommittee.org
There's no "dividend for Americans" nor will there ever be. He is using the tariffs to try and hide the cost of their egregious tax cut for the super rich. It's effectively a regressive tax paid by consumers to finance their windfall
The "we hate communism" crowd suddenly silent as the government gradually takes control of large corporations and their leader attempts to dictate interest rates as he sees fit.
It’s absolutely those things, but they’re also desperately trying to create a flashpoint moment so they can justify more extreme measures of brute force across other cities. I really hope people are smart enough to not give it to them.
The more people that just tell him to fuck off the better. The emperor has no clothes and that needs to be shown over and over again.
Is that Rick Scott?
I quit drinking 9 months ago and I don’t regret it one bit but damn life is triggering these days
Sharing tips and getting pointers I presume
Nobody told me that my 40s came with an automatic 5am wakeup call every day
He doesn't have the authority to do that, and claiming that she conducted some BS mortgage fraud act without proof isn't a valid reason
Frightening times we are living in. This historian nails it:
Since when can he just implement a criminal law by decree? Bullshit order holds no weight and is not worth the paper it’s written on. Also - release the Epstein files.
Sure sex is great, but have you ever gotten your 4-3 work schedule back with Tueday-Thursdays off right before Colorado ski season starts? 🏔️🏂❄️
Same here in Arvada. It’s been like a weather dome for months
Fox News would get pretty hilarious all of a sudden
Just wait until we all start loading up our cars with Gavin stickers and flags. Actually never mind, we aren't a cult
"Imprisoned former girlfriend" 😐
Also how far are transgender rights really going to progress under this Supreme Court? That ship sailed in 2016 when people fucked around and gave Trump three seats to fill. If it’s such an important issue they should support actual electable candidates who can get sympathetic judges appointed
...it's all lizard brain bullshit. They've been fed years of propaganda that their side is "right" - and they probably have no idea what they even stand for anymore. At this point it's just become a sporting event competition where they must be on the winning side at all costs
It’s become pretty apparent that the right doesn’t really have a true belief system. What you mentioned is a good example. The 2A/militia crowd’s vanishing act while we have military being used against citizens is another. Russia is suddenly the good guys. A mentally declining president is ok. Etc
If there’s anything the “left” has accomplished it’s made the Democratic Party move further right to find votes. If there’s no chance they’ll ever please those voters where else are they gonna turn?
I think the most important thing we can do right now is NOT participate in any civil wars in the Democratic Party - the stakes are too high for party infighting. I view this a lot like I view AOC. The establishment was wary of her. She came in and crushed it, now they love her. 1/2
Mitch McConnell is one of the biggest pieces of shit in the history of the country. Raw power for the sake of power at the expense of our rules and norms. I'm not even sure he expected to do this much damage in the end but regardless he's largely responsible and should be remembered accordingly.
In a sane country he would have been shunned from polite society and forbidden from running for any office ever again after 1/6. Our system of government doesn't work when one side refuses to participate in the checks and balances that hold it together.
There's gonna be an amazing socio-political study done one day by entitled "What Did Americans Really Care About?" Because despite all the bullshit and bluster from everyone over the years, we don't seem to actually mind government intrusion into business, tyranny, or losing our "Freedoms"
Colorado is getting ready - there's gonna be a petition to get it included in the 26 election
How is this fucking legal?
Don’t leave out that he also wants to use them as his goon squad in the meantime to intimidate voters in blue areas during elections. If you don’t think he’s gonna deploy his Feds to provide “election security” next year I got news for ya…it’s gonna happen
Lets call it like it is: regressive tax on the American public paid disproportionately by low to middle income earners being used by the White House to justify its massive tax cut bill for the wealthy.
Glad he’s free but the media shouldn’t be overlooking how he was treated and the made up charges the government used to weaponize the justice system against him
I’d argue that most of our problems actually stem from voters in 2016 not wanting to do their jobs
Where are all those 2A / well-regulated militia assholes? I thought this was exactly why they supposedly needed the freedom to own a fucking military arsenal in their basements
My only experience at a Cracker Barrel was the morning after a multi night Greensky run at Bells Brewery, I’m sure we can guess how that went
Lived in MN for a bit, I miss the bucket of cookies
Why would Putin provide security guarantees for a country he absolutely intends to re-invade after a ceasefire that primarily allows him to rebuild his depleted military before he makes another push?
Could be worse - I went to and spent money on the first three games 💀
Oh FFS now I have to mentally defend John fucking Bolton? This administration's cruelty knows no bounds
Yeah well that doesn’t seem to apply to this administration, at least not yet.
Yeah until SCOTUS reverses the order and adds that the administration should increase the number of alligators and implement Thunderdome style nightly combat rituals
Petition to refresh the Cracker Barrel logo—restoring its old glory with a proper, updated flair!
Republicans don't give a fuck about norms or laws or rules and they get rewarded for it constantly. Maybe the left should take a look and think about copying that playbook
