Thank you. Perfect.
NEVER FORGET: The GOP Congress lack of interest in the breach of actual science at the CDC has made it CLEAR: they don’t care if we live or die.
Exactly, because this isn't a slow descent at all. It's on a fast track.
How to really trigger maga this week...🤭
And yet it has to be said.
Rapey McFelon thanks you, Berners.
I will never forget what that cynical & self-aggrandizing liar did to ensure TFG's election.
I’d rather be an overly empathetic nerd than whatever the fuck happened to half of this country.
In today's least-shocking news that we all knew before, Fox staff and producers all along the election wasn't stolen in 2020 and lied for ratings. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/fac...
much easier to understand the sheer bloody intensity of the civil war when you have a good grasp on just how terrible slavery was.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find it frighteningly surreal that the terrible atrocities, injustices and war crimes of faraway lands that we studied in history books when we were kids are now being committed, promoted and even celebrated by our own U.S. government, on a daily basis?
I have never forgiven that miserable bastard.
Yes, it is. He is thoroughly enjoying watching this country die.
This ⬇️ says it all ‼️
It sure does.
It is a constant source of deep sadness.
You are correct.
I'm sure there are plenty of us still hanging around clinging to life (though we don't know why we bother anymore).

I remember watching this and then looking for whatever became of him. But of course China would want him erased.
Orwell's 1984. One of the playbooks of the Regime. A passage illustrating how both the lack of ability to think critically and apathy on the part of the proletariat allows such a system to flourish unchallenged.
Today’s summit went so badly that it could serve as a welcome distraction from the Epstein files
It does say it all. And this is a hell I never imagined seeing
“Across the country, Republicans are waging a calculated campaign to erase Black and Latino political power through extreme gerrymandering. This isn’t just about redrawing maps—it’s about dismantling representation and silencing communities that have fought the hardest to be heard.”
👏👏👏
Weird that MAGA wanted the files released but instead got the accomplice released. They never saw that coming
Been working on this.
That's what those casinos were about. And he has Russian mafia thugs to keep legislators in line.
It's a stunning capture. I hate that people don't give credit to the photographer.
Oh for shame! Shameless!
"In the fleeting time we have on this Earth, what matters is not wealth, or status, or power, or fame, but rather how well we have loved and what small part we have played in making the lives of other people better." Barack Obama
I really need to see that movie.
“Happy Birthday, President Barack Obama. We miss him. The world misses him. A man you could safely leave not only with the Constitution, but your 12 year old daughter.” -John O’Connell
Do we dare to eat a peach? (can't help channeling Eliot when the subject comes up)
That's frightening. I'm so sorry and hope they took care of you at the ER. It's horrible to rely on our health system.
Good lord, I'm so sorry. I have to go through it every two years, and as I age, the experience with anesthesia becomes increasingly unpleasant. What was your issue, if I may ask?
I'm afraid this is true.
I don't think he's talentless, but his entire schtick is avoidance of confrontation, so we can't say he's hypocritical. Weird guy.
Then I must get it.
This is how democracies die. Step 1: Dislike the facts. Step 2: Attack the fact-finders. Step 3: Replace them with loyalists. Step 4: Control the "truth."
I don’t know about you, but I’m planning on calling it the Epstein Ballroom.
You will see it happen with people regardless of age. It's why I don't trust block lists. People don't think.
People are stupid. I'm sorry you've had this experience.
Yep. Same. Loads of fun.
@tizzyent.bsky.social has done a video with a backstory: I had to break the video into halves. 1/2 2nd video in reply. 🚨 Looking for an attorney for this man.
Yes, Trump invited Jeffrey Epstein to his wedding, but there's no evidence that Epstein molested or sex trafficked any girls while he was there. I'll pass on this nothingburger. by Megan McArdle
In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, eggs and bacon at Bob Evans, and then down to the old jailhouse to pardon a pedophile sex trafficker. But now the woke mob wants to take all that way.
People are reliably stupid.
Yes it was.
Ghislaine Maxwell is about to tell a lot of lies about Democrats in order to get a pardon or sentence reduction from Donald Trump. As non-partisan journalists, we are required to repeat those lies.
Amen!
If you’re feeling uneasy, it’s probably because we now know we live in a country built on the blackmail of a dead pedophile who is Too Big to Fail, so Congress has to go home for a couple of months to figure out how talk about it without defenestrating the president and collapsing the economy.
Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in all of American history, & well, then, 👇🤷♂️🎯
Can we?
Thank you.
I hope you find happiness.
Today’s Update for MAGA: Trade Deals: NO Epstein Files released: NO Obama arrested: NO Jerome Powell fired: NO Hillary Locked Up: NO James Comey arrested: NO Threats and Social Media Posts: MANY
You really need a better schtick. Am I enabling you?
I don't know who needs to hear it, but the base of a party is literally not the people who skip out on voting for the party, quite by definition.
I didn't vote for that, but I completely believe you're trying really hard to convince yourself of it. You struggle to make sense of things and this is the best you can do. Maybe when your frontal lobe has settled down you'll find it easier to think rationally.
Of course he courted and was courted by Democrats. People aren't moral or immoral because of voter registration.
We didn't huff it.
I thought I'd just check to make sure you hadn't created another myth to interact with. So far, you've invented a lot of wealth into my background, a lot of votes I never cast, a cleaning service (so presumably a large house), and a few more years than I'm due quite yet. But oh well.
You talkin' to ME?
So now you're just stoned.
I didn't know there was anyone left who didn't figure Clinton was on Epstein's list.
Women are punished more for not forgiving than men are for doing wrong in the first place.
It saved mine.

Age doesn't confer wisdom. But it confers the opportunities to gain wisdom. Stupid people won't realize the profit of experience, but young people haven't had the chance at it. Old people who aren't stupid are just as hard to recognize as young people who are.
I would just add it was the Trump DOJ in 2017 that appointed Robert Mueller to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election and his findings revealed extensive Russian involvement and ties to the Trump campaign.
I have *hope* that this will happen, but it dwindles when I notice how precarious our voting rights are now.
It's interesting to me to see how far you'll flake out. I would guess you're pretty young to be so irrational, but you could just be old and not bright. I'm killing time because I can.
I don't know why you are making these assumptions, but I suppose it provides you some comfort to do so. How long have you been investing such passionate emotion into adversaries you create from imagination?
Good lord. No one cleans my house but me, I don't have much money and never have -- not that it matters. You have assumed so much. By privilege I refer to my race, not income.
Yes, and getting those policies implemented requires work that you seem not to understand.
And your theory is that by not voting for Bernie (the con), I voted against everything Bernie said he could accomplish. I don't think you understand voting, legislation or what math is. You seem kinda bot-like in your irrationality.
It never came to a vote. Poor Bernie never got anything actually done. You don't seem to understand how legislation works. Let me guess: you thought if Bernie had been selected as the candidate, he'd have won. Yet you think I'm the one who can't do math
Can you explain when free (or even universal) healthcare was ever on the table? I'd sure love to know when anyone ever had the chance to vote for it.
When was it on the table? Can you point to a bill that Congress voted on? (you so know that free healthcare has never been "on the table, don't you?)
Can you explain why you think I favor people dying so I can get a tax break or nah?
Wait, you think I'm "screeching"? Why? What is it that causes you to assign "screeching" to me?
I am pretty well educated, yet can't figure out what makes you so confident that you know who is or isn't "parasitic" based upon so little information. I wonder whether you aren't just so confused that it doesn't really matter, so rattle on.
You seem disturbed. I'd be quite happy with free health care.
Ok, sure.
Well that's certainly a concept. It's not logical (or even rational), but oh well.
So your theory is that no one supporting HRC wanted/wants universal healthcare. Very deep of you.
You seem to think that those of us voting for HRC didn't want that. We want it very much & knew Bernie would get us NOTHING. You apparently remain unaware how laws get passed.
It's definitely race. Not sure why you think the fact that I come from privilege means I am blind to its existence.
Where did I mention wealth? That's not the privilege I'm referencing.
Yet "burn it all down" was the refrain from legions of Berners devoted to the idea that the Supreme Court didn't matter and implying that the destruction we warned about was necessary for a new start. They ignored the idea that once fascism took power, there would be no "new start," just fascism.
Probably.
That was the rationale for Berners who happily allowed Trump to beat HRC. It was (chiefly) privileged white shrug, and here it is again being used as an excuse from being active in the fight to preserve Democracy.
I sympathize with this take, but find it easier on the mind & heart to remember that many people who were ignorant lacked the advantage of being well informed. Seems cruel to damn them for it. We humans are deeply flawed.
People are kinda dumb.
