"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.
So the Supreme Court just straight up ruled it's illegal to be Latino, right? I'm not misreading that?
Republicans pretending to be against law enforcement disappearing people is a great bit
Does he consider himself a man of faith
Working on a commercial jingle right now where we rhyme Pub Cheese with Nepalese
I know it's really just a trite observation, but christ... No one whose parents loved them talks like this.
Have you no decency sir? My friends did not die face down in the sands of Fallujah so you could waltz into this TGIF and score *my* free mozzarella sticks
I love that our opposition party to a fascist uprising is led by the guys who circle the Home Depot parking lot with a camera waiting for a "civilian" to take the veteran parking spot
Plenty about this is dumb but I also love that it reads like Tammy thinks Trump is actually wearing the hat. It's a picture, Ms. Duckworth.
Really seems like heading HHS and making medical decisions regarding who can and can't take treatments should constitute practicing medicine without a license.
Whoa dang. Is JD really saying it's the republican position to authorize a drone strike on his mother's OBGYN?
This is a secondary point, but this Vance exchange is just the logical endpoint of the Online-ification of our politics. You can basically win popular support from a sizeable audience now simply by presenting your position in sufficiently EPIC way
The way I see it, after decades of conceding to right wing talking points on immigration to build a sense of general public resentment, the only way through to the other side is to continue doing more of the same indefinitely.
I'd say as long as you don't physically restrain, hit, or grab someone to get at a loose ball, it's all fair game until it's in someone's hands.
The ball was hit toward her, it clanked off her hands, fell into the row in front of her, and before she could reach across the row to scoop it up, the guy snagged it. That's a tough break for her, but also just kinda the rules of the spectator.
It's such a fucking terrible forced pun it legit took me a second to even realize what they were going for
She got roundly booed by hundreds of people and the kid got way more than just a home run ball out of it. Justice served, case closed. Move on.
Not every public display of dickishness requires a digital revenge mob what are we even doing here
I think it rules that our national health departments are headed by a guy who would have signed the dihydrogen monoxide petition
Mind you, dodging Vietnam was just fine and everyone should have done it. It's just very funny that this dude so badly wants to project the "strength" of someone who served but absolutely despises the idea of service.
Using AI to generate an image of you in a war you famously dodged is Peak Trump.
"The left shot first in the culture war by criticizing the guy who donated to Prop 8, a proposition which spontaneously appeared on the ballot through mysterious origin, and therefore does not count as a shot fired."
Unfortunately, the DOGE cuts have left only a single intern in charge of scanning and uploading each paper article in American history to the internet archives, and he's still in 1874.
Whoa dang they're really going with the "he was only there in order to get directions on how to get away from there" defense?
Just looked up the lyrics and that's a "yikes" from me
Ritchie is a great choice to be the progressive face of the democratic party, if your primary goal is to make sure there is never any progress.
This certainly sucks, especially since it's just cowardice in the face of fascism, but it wouldn't need to be *that* big a deal that you left an interviewee's lies and propaganda in an interview *if* you were willing to literally call them as such. But we know they're too cowardly to do that, too
I realized shortly after this that I had accidentally switched to a recommendation station playlist lol
Uh I most definitely do not remember adding this to my work playlist???
Awesome telltale sign that capitalism is utter bullshit is that this dude is, quife literally, the *only* reason Tesla isn't more successful than it is.
At last, jocks have their own Han Shot First
Counterpoint: It's the most honest thing he's ever done as president
Do the job long enough and you'll understand there's no such thing
I'm 42 and this still feels like a personal attack
No Fear tshirt guys voted into power exclusively by Big Dogs tshirt guys
I mean, the Police Procedural Well has already been tapped pretty dry
The "Supreme Court Justices are not motivated by ideology" discourse has already been long dead to everyone except ideologues on the "winning" side.
Customer just asked me through their Ring doorbell cam if I could wait 10-15mins for them to get home to sign for a letter, and... Fuuuuuuuuck offfffff
All the facts line up with opposing Trump. You don't even need to spin something, or speak about ideological differences. The simple facts are things are as safe as ever. You don't even need to (though you probably should) talk about defunding the police or whatever Dems concern troll about.
Any democrat who doesn't know how to message against this is either a moron, a coward, or agrees with Trump and won't say it. It's very easy: cable news lies about crime to divide voters, violent crime rates around the country, including in cities, is at or near record lows, and red states are worse
I've probably heard some iteration of "childless couples will never know true happiness" infinitely more times than "moms aren't happy being moms"
"A common narrative is that motherhood makes women unhappy"??? Christ, can't you guys even find *one* culture war villain who actually exists?
So did John Yoo
I think, more than any other group of people, the folks I relate to "the least* in this country are the ones who do not hold even a shred of social responsibility. It's sociopathy masquerading as ideology.
Congratulations to the state whose two major industries are theme parks and nursing homes on their decision to end herd immunity.
This grid is Shawn Wooten erasure.
It's not enough that they get to wipe out a whole populace and steal all their land. They must also rub our faces in insultingly bad propaganda to prop up their "most moral army" lie, pretending they're actually true humanitarians.
I know it doesn't really rank at all on the list of things theyve done, but that propaganda video they put out with a whole chain of IDF soldiers unloading boxes labeled "Medical Supplies" (In English! Made in MS word on printer paper!) that were all *clearly* empty just said so much to me.
"Giving outsiders a shot at stardom" Fuuuuuck off. Why the hell does there need to be some great equalizer in the arts for untalented oafs? Especially if that equalizer is "I told a computer what to steal."
Homer Simpson to Kirk Van Houten Voice: "I live in a normal house with my wife."
This is literally the envelope. I assure you, reading the envelope is a pretty important part of the job.
Just a very funny positive distinction for a team most recognized in recent years for ineptitude.
In the world of dumb stats that only I probably care about: with the Angels 63rd win tonight, they continue their streak through 2025 of being the only team in MLB history to never lose 100 games.
Losing My Religion (all time classic) Radio Free Europe (underrated banger) Shiny Happy People (what why how did this come to be?)
In their prime those guys were basically Extremely Earnest Dril. Legends of the craft.
It's just unfair to every song I don't pick to pick any song at all!
The only thing tearing me up inside about Trump's inevitability is not knowing which song to play first: LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem? Andrew WK's Party Hard? Montell Jordan's This Is How We Do It? Usher's Yeah? Backstreet's Back? Kool and the Gang's Celebration? Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead?
Whoa fancy Mara over here learning to ask about the library in Spanish 1 class while our teacher kept hammering home the importance of "Donde esta la zapateria?" instead.
It wasn't donkey specific, I don't think, but I think it was for livestock/farm animals
Throw a little Bart in there, too, because I'm sure Cuomo thinks the orthodox Jews are ZZ Top
Please give the depressed donkey her due props or else, as she said "I'll really fuckin do it this time."
I call her Dolores the Despondent Donkey
Oh hell yeah my favorite piece of mail of all time is back:
So telling someone to be grateful for their country is absolutely white supremacist code, right? I cannot recall a single time I've heard it said to a white person.
The answer they seek is some right wing white supremacist nonsense, because they don't want to talk about the real problem is that society does nothing to help with raising kids and the standard of living to the point people just forego children out of sheer survival.
I'm sure the answer they'll lean toward will be "conscript women into sexual servitude and domesticated life in service of incels," but to the degree there is an answer to their question, the obvious answer is *raise the fucking standard of living so people can afford it* But that won't happen.
Hostile environments against whistleblowers are also illegal
A+ build. Would build again.
Sadly a pig heart feels like a solid match
An involuntary resignation is called a "firing." A firing of a whistleblower is called "illegal." Man, the national media just loves to launder fascism.
True enough, but "almost" is doing some insane heavy lifting when NYC put up that Giuliani, Bloomberg, Adams trifecta in such a short time and they seriously flirted with Cuomo to fill the Mt. Rushmore.
I know a couple recent retirees at our office got their backpay checks directly to the station today.
Did you not get it today?
Never realized until now how much he looks like Michael Shannon
You're wrong by every objective measure and I'm done fucking legitimizing your horseshit with further debate. Your understand of politics and morality is contemptuous, and you refusal to hold standards gave birth to fascism, and centrist compromise always does. Leave the fucking planet.
Democrats have touted "harm reduction" for decades, regularly refusing to engage in popular ideas, seesawing in and out of power while leftists mostly held none. *Democrats* blazed half the path to our current position with half measures, not leftists. You stupid weasel ass bitch
"Did so much good." Fuuuuuck offffff. His refusal to admit his own cognitive decline played no small part in the second coming of Trump. *His* ego put us here, not some fucking pissant non-voter in California. You stupid cunts will hold everyone else responsible before you do a politician
The only thing you have here is a bunch of suppositions about motive. What *I* have is you rubber stamping politicians who unleashed massive harm on people around the world under the defense that "but it was fewer people." You're dogshit, kid.
Enough progressives held their nose in 2020 to get Biden elected and they were "rewarded" with him arming a genocide. Harm reduction is a myth, democrats just outsource enough of the suffering to people you don't give a shit about.
The fact that you think basic human rights are a "demand for perfection" reflects on your absence of moral conviction, not mine.
It quietly literally is what he's engaging in right now ktla.com/news/califor...
Yeah framing it as "Harris voters are more likely to disown family over politics" is just ignoring causation in favor of correlation. Do ya think it's something inherent to Harris support, or maybe that every Trump supporter on earth has deliberately made insufferability their defining attribute?
You are dumb as dogshit and don't understand a single thing that catalyze this conversation and felt the need to cut in anyway. Shut your worthless fucking mouth
"I have decided that you don't care about my rights, because you are listening to other members of my community rather than me, The Main Character." You are so fucking unserious.
The funny thing about accusations of being a cudgel is they don't become true just because you say so. I've got myriad friends, family, and social media connections who are Palestinian, trans, Muslim, and homeless, who I will gladly advocate on behalf of before I listen to one rando internet ghoul
You're telling us to run over homeless people because it's more important you get exactly who you want in the primaries, even when being told by other voters running over the homeless is a non starter. You're a stupid morally bankrupt cunt. Goodbye.
The fact you think they're being "used as a cudgel" speaks more to your nihilistic electoralism and moral bankruptcy than it does to anything else, weenie.
Not voting for candidates who start massive wars, arm a genocidal ethnostate, villify the homeless and exacerbate their problems, or want to revoke trans medical care is not "purity politics" you fucking coward loser.
Scroll up and read the beginning of the convo, dipshit
Rax posts a story about Gavin Newsom storming the streets screaming "fuck the homeless," and she's got folks lined up in her mentions basically telling her we might have to rally behind him if we want to protect real people. And folks, I don't think we're fixing the hearts of liberals.
Rax is saying Newsom is a non-starter 3 years out. Her replies are full of people saying it's a selfish dangerous position. Yes, that is implicitly a defense of Newsom as a viable candidate, dingus.
Suck shit through a straw you transphobic shitstain
No, we're saying "before you tell us we have to consider a guy who will tie 10% of people to the trolley tracks to defeat the guy who will tie 50%, how about you consider someone who will tie 0%," and the person above is getting outraged that we'd even have that conversation.
Yeah, "fix my shit." My bad, didn't know white guys born in 1983 were getting blamed for Barry Goldwater voters now.
Voting for Newsom is throwing a minority (trans people) under the bus, you fucking ghoul.
Oh what's that? You don't care who gets the nomination and I do? Well, shit, if you wanna win the general more than anything, guess you better vote for my guy.
