That’s better than a cocktail, that’s a memory eraser!
This!!!
I know two things about Rudy Giuliani: 1) IDGAF what happened to him or what kind of shape he’s in but whatever did happen; 2) it sure as shit didn’t go down like that.
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
Surely if they pay him this time he will leave them alone.
This…actually works. Was trying to think of a way where it doesn’t and honestly this is now the Bond I want to see. Eddie Redmayne basically did this in Day Of The Jackal and it was brilliant.
💯%. I've come to accept how morally depraved Donald Trump is. But I'll never get over how blindingly imbecilic he is. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
"We're going to need a story about this accident. Say he was helping a woman. That should work. Also, is he wearing pants? Make sure he's wearing pants."
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
This is, quite simply, insane. The fact that people voted for this fucking malignancy will never, ever make sense to me.
Bro. What don’t you get???! You have actual power. Go fucking use it, you goddamn geriatric loser.
I was checking what the best bottle I’ve got is and chilling it to pop.
To be clear, those reasons are just that you’re a better person than me. I know wishing for someone’s death is awful. I just wish it more than my next breath.
I’m not glad to hear it but I understand your reasons to suggest that you are.
This is doable!!!
2025 Democratic politics is that scene in every 70s movie where somebody gets their car stolen and runs down the street shaking their fist in the air yelling, "Hey, that's my car!!!"
Yup, and a failure to act directly after the insurrection is why he's back.
*sitting in eternal judgment room* What kind of life did you lead? I dunno, pretty good I think. One time I wasn't heard from for a couple days and literally most of the world get super excited, but overall pretty good
No reason.
How come you didn’t object to unanimous consent? Why don’t you either do your job better or get the fuck out of office? You’re my goddamn senator and a fucking disgrace.
28 USC §454 expressly states that “any justice or judge appointed under the authority of the United States who engages in the practice of law is guilty of a high misdemeanor”
There is no soft power as incredible as being called upon to educate your opponents’ children. We have sent back the children of prime ministers and presidents from all over the world believing that a free America is the greatest country on earth. And now Trump is throwing that out with the trash.
But cannot explain what I don’t know about endorsements.
When we push these people back, which we will, we need to make absolutely certain that they never ever are allowed to hold the reins of power again. Sickening.
Good. Let her retire with a giant pension, blithely go through her remaining days knowing that she helped torch the republic to the ground.
My goodness, what an abrupt and uncalled for personal attack. Can you explain what I’m missing about endorsements?
You seem really angry. Hope your weekend gets better.
I believe most of us are saying that almost ALL of them fundamentally misunderstand the situation on the ground. They continue to listen to loser consultants who are overpaid.
If the people running the party would cease to be trash I wouldn’t trash the party. It’s a party I’ve belonged to my whole life and it’s sickening when senior officials do shit like not endorse Mamdani, who won the fucking primary.
I’ll vote blue no matter who, but why isn’t that good enough for Hakeem and the rest of the establishment? Why are they able to pick and choose but I have to vote for Gavin?
Sadly this is something that is actually going to work for those who want to continue his autocracy.
Haven’t ever seen one in real life…great bill!
“My teeth evolved to chew meats and protect the pack, please advertise directly to me”
Deli guy: how do you want that turkey? Kingslayer: thinner than Theon Greyjoy
You’re not dropping a single, asshole. If you’re actually knew anything, it would be criminal not to reveal it now. But of course, this is a bullshit publicity stunt.
Real fun seeing Cuomo counter Mamdani's "New York is great because of New Yorkers" with "No, it's great because of soulless corporations actually."
I know of them but have never gone!
JFC.
Where can one purchase art from this guy?
Alright…you’ve convinced me, I walk past all the time. I’m going in next time.
“He’s just distracting you with authoritarian unconstitutional fascist military and police actions because he can’t address the real issue of groceries costing too much for hardworking Americans” Is maybe the most the Democrats have ever Democratted
I did NOT know that! What’s the “security vs freedom” argument there? I love this place!
Not a film but a TV show and series of books, the Jeeves and Wooster series by PG Wodehouse may create more joy and mirth in the average human than is recommended.
Those who choose security over freedom shall have neither.
I also don't get it...I watched the Mamdani video, he lifted the weights, what are they on about??
Definitely like this thematically as an underpinning for his campaign.
they don’t care if their voters support them or not. They can whether AIPAC, big oil, big pharma etc etc keeps writing them checks
Have met him and that man knows what he’s doing. Very impressive fella.
Retailers warned that raising wages would "force" them to raise prices and to use automated checkout. Fed min wage remained flat, but they raised prices & used automated checkout anyway. Result: Workers got even poorer as customer service plummeted while prices & profits soared.
35…er 38. No 232 countries they said it was.
the thing I love about Zohran’s campaign is that instead of “this place fucking sucks and I alone can fix it” his message is “being a New Yorker rules, we live in the best city in the world, let’s make it even better together” show some damn pride in the places you want to govern
The arc of time bends towards justice. Ultimately we will be better off, but it will take a very, very long time. Perhaps longer than I have. I hope not longer than my child has.
Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate? I had no idea. Just saw it on Tik Tok. Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
Sounds like Trump’s kinda guy
If you actually thought that the president was sending troops into the streets of major American cities and having random masked shitheads disappear delivery guys off scooters to distract from grocery prices being higher, I feel like you'd seem angrier about all that than Hakeem Jeffries does.
I’ve seen some folks refer to James Dobson as some coincidental “evil twin” to Fred Rogers, and I would like to clear the record: Dobson was an intentional fundamentalist _reaction_ to Mr. Rogers and his liberal Christian influence on children. It wasn’t an eerie coincidence it was violent rejection
Seeing people in the US of States glazing Newsom's dank memes and being all "Gavin slayyyy" is giving Starmer Fever 2024 and, American pals, it's equally embarrassing to witness.
“He has a wife, you know…”
I keep looking around with my hands raised questioning when the facts on the ground will become evident to the financial markets.
Everything about him screams buffoon.
The first season of that show was absolutely hysterical. I should watch the rest of it.
Like, “hey we see this super popular candidate in NYC has won the nomination with a ton of young voters showing up out of nowhere. Let’s try to squelch that enthusiasm,” level of annoying and useless.
I can’t believe doing nothing but in the most annoying way possible isn’t working www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
I’m missing something here, isn’t it the same logo just without the old person sitting in a chair?
My god they love the taste of his boot on their face so much. WTF is wrong with these people, how did they become so sycophantic in such a short period of time??
Actually I swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States with my hand on @bpl.boston.gov’s 1782 edition Aitken Bible—also known as the Bible of the Revolution.
We’re not quite there yet but yeah, it feels like it’s going to get there.
Fucking A+ let’s go, Gov.
Jon is a true genius.
😑 it doesn’t track that I have to say this but seriously people: Slavery was actually really, really horrendous. It was an act so evil that I cannot think about it for more than a couple seconds or I break down.
Absolutely fuck that place into oblivion.
Scott Jennings is a disgusting human who should not be on CNN.
Excited to read it and also John Harris paints a hell of a cover.
Yes, thank you.
This is what we are now paying for with our taxes. This is being done multiple times every day in our names. I can not get used to this, I don’t want to get used to this.
Can't wait until a Dem president orders that all the guns be collected due to a national emergency, since that overrides all State's rights.
HahahahahahahHahahHah ahHahahahahahahahahaha
He’s such a blithering idiot.
Brings to mind Carl Sandburg’s “The Hangman at Home”:
I love to show up every day for my job, which is standing around holding the front of my tactical vest and getting told to choke to death by thousands of passers-by while 11 of my coworkers handcuff a roofer on his way to work. Every night I drive 80 minutes home, thinking about nothing at all.
Elected representative in Texas left locked in the House chamber because she refused a DPS escort. I know there's a lot going on, but if this isn't a front page story in every US newspaper tomorrow, our press is massively failing us. And yes, I know that they already are.
This is insane.
This is super helpful.
Opinion | Why Mamdani should campaign with Liz Cheney.
"It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."
He is a perfect example of someone whose privileged life has barely been touched by the realities of the world.
*getting jabbed by ICE rifle barrels until i enter standing-room-only railcar* ok i'm the only one not surprised by this so i get to stand by the window
Hungry men create lunch times, lunch times create sleepy men, sleepy men create nap times, nap times create hungry men
I can literally smell this human being as you’re describing them.
My guts tell me this Gavin Newsom thing is recognizing the beginning of an upsurge of candidates inspired by Zohran Mamdani's message and his campaign and people seeing that that's possible, so they need to jam someone in front of a line that won't be forming for another three years to stop it.
This is what I want more news people making clear: America’s foreign policy has never been so rudderless and it’s to the benefit of our adversaries.
I used to say this, how damaging a civil war would be to this country, how splitting the nation in two is exactly what Russia’s goal has been since it was the Soviet Union and we’d never be dumb enough to think we’re better off without one another. Now…I don’t know.
Amen
