Hey, something to talk about not named Trump! Two years from now we'll see the winners of the mid-term races sworn in, and two Dem senators won't be among them. Minnesota Sen. Tina Smith’s (D) decision to not run for reelection in 2026 is adding another headache for Democrats trying to win back con...

The entire federal government is basically becoming twitter/x.

And all of his followers are rejoicing and think this is the greatest thing in the world. A good friend from Duke posted on social media how evil the Bishop who spoke down to Trump was. My friend is the father of three teen boys. I don't want to get into a fight on social media but is he raising hi...

Also, there’s this. https://www.science.org/content/article/trump-hits-nih-devastating-freezes-meetings-travel-communications-and-hiring I’m sad, angry and scared, all at once. I knew this was coming as soon as I heard that the anti-science lunatic won. Wondering if I should start looking for jobs ...

Yup. It is so sad that so much of America feeds off of this anger, nastiness and hatred. They would argue that the rest of us are doing the same thing towards Trump, but it is not the same. They have all fallen victims to his lies, narcissism and ridiculousness. It is going to be a very long four y...

Project 2025 clearly under way with the EO’s issued today. Special shout out to all the dipshits who said this wasn’t an actual thing. Schedule F already underway. And with the pardon of the J6ers, the signal is clear that political violence is totally acceptable. I can only hope that some of the di...

Today marked the end of post WW2 consensus opposition to fascism. We’re in some dark times now.

Things that are sad and funny at the same time. Nancy Mace made her contribution yesterday on the House floor. The Republican congresswoman, a lighting rod for controversy in recent months, was offended that Jasmine Crockett had called her “child” while criticizing her fixation on anti-trans messag...

I mean it when I say this, please keep calling him those things. It is a losing strategy by the left, and as long as y'all keep it up you will keep losing. You guys just don’t get it. Nope. It’s not a strategy. It wasn’t the strategy. Its just the truth. Anyway, the lying fat orange turd can’t run ...

For the 3rd year in a row, Elon’s foundation gave away less money than required by a charity of its size. The amount of dipshitery it takes to believe that a bad faith clown gives a damn about Americans and should have any sort of input in how government services and operates is pathetic. https://ww...

The troll did have one semi-valid point, and that is that calling people out for being the racist, misogynistic fascists that they are is going to alienate them. I’m at the point though where I have to do it, or else I think I will be enabling racist, misogynistic fascism. I’ve also come to believe...

Speaking of do the crime, do the time, I really don't think this obnoxious attitude is in keeping with the community CB&B is trying to keep around here. And you kind of have a history of anger issues. I will defer to the CB&B to determine how he wants to run things and fully trust his judgement. De...

DF831A02-CEA2-4920-85E9-9B4A5FCD9FAF.jpeg Environment? Who cares about it? I thought that according to Vance the only people worth anything in the world are those who are actively procreating. Yet he has no problem ruining the world for the future generations. Again, it is an extreme reaction. Do s...

Elon’s wealth has gone up 69% since the election. I’m sure that’s exactly what voters were going for.

Great oligarchy we got going on here.

Still mystifying that we’re sleepwalking into such a disaster.

This power grab by the GOP super majority of the NC General Assembly is some truly authoritarian shit. Look for of this type of shit to go down in other states. Voting will eventually be irrelevant in the gerrymandered to hell state of NC. https://amp.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/articl...

There's a pretty sordid recent history with regard to pardons, whether it be familial (Trump pardoned his daughter's father-in-law, who now stands to be an Ambassador) political (HW and the Iran Contra pardons) or personal (Marc Rich). Whataboutism sucks, but there's a more complete context that ma...

Lord help me. I’m visiting my dad, who is currently watching Faux News. The disinformation is unbelievable. They’re talking about illegal immigrants now, and to hear them talk, the number of migrants is dropping because of Trump’s victory. Just one example. Lots of passive-aggressive talk about all...

https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/24/politics/video/fareeds-take-doge-trump-musk-ramaswamy-gop-spending-gps-digvid It’s hard to go along with his framing here - “looking forward to it”. Unless he’s saying it sarcastically. Of course, there is a need for some government spending reform. But what is the ac...

Either the DOGE clan will fall flat on its face once realizing this is an undertaking they are ill-equipped for (and they are). Or they’ll push forward with zero regard for consequences and public cost and inflict enormous damage both economically and socially. I think what this will really come do...

Fascinating view on DOGE by Fareed Zakaria. He is looking forward to seeing what it does. https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/24/politics/video/fareeds-take-doge-trump-musk-ramaswamy-gop-spending-gps-digvid It’s hard to go along with his framing here - “looking forward to it”.
