  • AOC and Boebert call for sexual misconduct accountability in Congress.

    Jump

  • Not anymore she divorced him recently. Then got caught and kicked out of a theater for dry humping her date during a live production of Beetlejuice. You know, a shining example of proper sexual conduct.

  • ’25TH AMENDMENT!!!’ Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls for Trump’s Removal From Office

    Jump

  • I think this perspective is the real copium. Vance's performance in the VP debate righted the ship for the Trump campaign. Trump's rock-solid 38% will vote for anyone with an R.

    Vance lacks the showmanship, but he makes up for it by either pretending his terrible agenda is not true or actually agreeable to the center-right. Most know Trump is crazy. Even his more adoring fans will give him a pass on at least one insane thing if you press them. Think "I wish he didn't post on social media so much, but I love that he speaks his mind"

    Two years is more than enough time to get incumbency advantage. He can course correct a couple things in July 2028 and ride that through the debates saying "I'm not trump guys, see, I fixed X and Y!" That gives the 38% the okay to say "yea, he's basically trump still, I didn't actually want X or Y"

    As for winning over the rest of the electorate, who cares? Who on the left didn't know what trump was? We all knew. We saw through the Project 2025 lies. It didn't matter. Enough people stayed home because they knew and thought "it won't be that bad" or "he won't win with that baggage"

    That's Vance's strength. He doesn't need to win anyone over. All he needs to do is flake off a couple factions by pretending to not be that bad.

  • Time to cancel Matt Groening?

    Jump

  • This. Groening is mentioned as being asking about in a deposition, on a schedule to meet along with several people in a public place, and introduced as a friend to a Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

    Epstein was rich and powerful. He knew a lot of famous people. Maybe there's more to come there, but nothing improper has presented on Groening thus far.

  • Tylenol use during pregnancy not linked to autism, new study says

    Jump

  • Trump seeks $100bn for Venezuela oil, but Exxon boss says country 'uninvestable'

    Jump

  • Why would they? It's a win-win. They either get significant tax payer money invested on their behalf, or the oil stays off market keeping their prices high.

  • Analysis: Trump’s answer for everything: Blame Biden

    Jump

  • Toward the end he was blaming future Biden.

  • GOP senators to join Democrats in investigating Pete Hegseth ‘kill everybody’ allegations

    Jump

  • Also midterms are less than a year away and Trump's rock solid 39% won't help many of them if his name isn't on the ticket to drive voters to polls. Picking a couple headline issues like these ensures likely voters see them as mostly Trump, but not crazy because they did x, y, or z that one time.

  • Trump’s golf trips have cost taxpayers $71M since January and could eventually top staggering $300M, report says

    Jump

  • The best part his he golfs almost exclusively at his own courses. That money goes straight into his own pocket.

  • JD Vance is a fucking garbage human in every way. Zero redeeming qualities.

    Jump

  • Trump seems to acknowledge he can't run for a third term: "It's too bad"

    Jump

  • Or, easier method. He runs. Democrats sue saying he clearly can't have a third term. SCOTUS declines to take the case because the constitution says he can run, he just can't be elected.

    States wait for each other to take him off the ballot, since elections are state run and eventually none of them do because they waited too long and they are super-duper sure he won't win this time.

    He wins, Sued again, SCOTUS declines to take the case because he's a sitting president and who are they to mingle in elections "we can't set a precedent of stealing elections from the people's choice" or something of that nature.

    Opposition falls in line because, yet again, the majority of Americans decided he and the GOP were the best choice and they'll lose if they fight back. But really, if he wins a third term, GOP owns Congress and there's not a damn thing you can do about it anyway.

    Boom, third term for Trump

  • Looking for recommendations for good Sci-Fi mystery novels

    Jump

  • I have not read Lock-In, but the synopsis sounds similar to Recursion by Blake Crouch

    Project Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir has some mystery, at least for a while while the character tries to figure out what's going on.

    If you're okay with a horror element, Dead Silence by SA Barnes. Astronauts are trying to figure out what happened on a space ship that seems to drive everyone insane

  • Pentagon Pete Fires ‘Fat’ Soldiers as War on Weight Rages

  • Democrats refuse to fold over shutdown as Republican outrage builds

    Jump

  • "Democrats are being callous" against federal workers, they say, as their King fires a third of them and asks if he can NOT pay them when the shutdown ends.

  • and that the source of the COVID-19 virus was a Chinese lab

    This is my personal favorite MAGA conspiracy theory I think, because it means willful ineptitude on themselves. In this theory, the virus is an illegal bioweapon from a Chinese lab. The bioweapon escapes the lab and spreads to every county, infecting 800 million people and killing around 7 million. By those metrics, it's a pretty damn good spreader and a halfway decent killer, if it is a weapon.

    So, say I'm China, and I'm watching my weapon escape and travel the world. I watch as my greatest adversary absolutely fucking fumbles. They fail to do much of anything about it and half their citizens just straight up can not be bothered to protect themselves with even the smallest of measures.

    If their conspiracy was right, they showed the world they will do nothing to stop a real attack.

  • Fox News’ host Brian Kilmeade says ‘just kill ‘em’ about mentally ill homeless people

    Jump

  • Forced to get help where? It's not like mental health resources were available before. Now with Medicaid cuts, I'm sure those mental hospitals are just lining up for the opportunity to treat patients.

    Fox viewers will just write this off as "he doesn't want them killed, he just thinks they should get help" and just assume there are 800,000 free beds, fully staffed and ready to help these people.

  • Do not support political violence† online!

    Jump

  • He died on the 10th. Zulu/UTC time is breaking my brain a bit, but that would have been 4:27 pm in Utah I think. Still just Minutes after his spokesperson confirmed he was dead

  • Do not support political violence† online!

    Jump

  • The site takes donations exclusively in crypto and does not explain anything beyond saying donations will support* the site...no names or founder or non profit. Just "trust me bro" "give me the untaxable currency bro". MAGA never passes on a scam opportunity.

  • They haven't stopped sucking him off so far, why would they now?

    Jump

  • A Texas Congressman Is Quietly Helping Elon Musk Pitch a $760M Plan to Build Tunnels Under Houston to Ease Flooding

    Jump

  • Not related. Water meters keep track of flow and help pinpoint leaks where water is being wasted or on return before it is treated, making the municipal water system more efficient.

    This sounds like the Musk Tunnels are purely to move stormwater. Think those concrete aqueducts around cities to collect water that would normally flow through a watershed but is now falling in impermeable surfaces. It's just going to be an underground river essentially. It sort of makes sense because the Boring Company can make tunnels, admittedly while ignoring many regulations.
