  • DOJ dropping criminal probe of Fed Chair Jerome Powell amid pressure from senators - ABC News

    Jump

  • Everyone knows this "probe" is pure spiteful bullshit from the butthurt baby in the WH.

  • Trump's 'gold card' visa starting at $1 million granted to just 1 person so far, White House says

    Jump

  • This entire administration all behave like cartoon supervillians.

    Watching that smug little shit Lutnick evading questions that he wants to answer when the cameras are off is really quite something.

  • Trump’s new Navy secretary once asked for KKK hood with slits for eyes

    Jump

  • a far-right pastor who railed against COVID restrictions and wokeness.

    Sigh. I'm not sure who irritates me more - the dumbass Karens that were having meltdowns over social distancing and masks (and then later, the vaccine) or people still talking about "woke" unironically.

  • Trump claims US has total control over strait of Hormuz after Iran seizes two container ships

    Jump

  • Must have been the AI that took those ships.

  • Trump's spiritual advisor says that saying no to him is like saying no to God

    Jump

  • I wonder if anyone has told this stupid bitch that a majority of this country has always said no to this piece of shit.

  • Dozens of former Katie Porter staffers pen open letter defending her, months after backlash

    Jump

  • It's bad enough when the Republicans do it, but they are often joined by a the supposed "liberal" media nearly always, not to mention just about every reactionary centrist you ever have the pleasure to know in your personal life...

  • Dozens of former Katie Porter staffers pen open letter defending her, months after backlash

    Jump

  • Democrats are expected to be as pure as the driven snow and Republicans are expected to be awful and disgusting.

    And it's even worse than that: when the Republicans act in terrible ways, thanks to Murc's Law, often it is the Democrats who are blamed for not somehow reeling in the Republicans.

  • Washington demanding 'entry fee' from Ottawa before trade talks: sources

    Jump

  • In cases of national news, it's commonly assumed to mean Washington D.C. when someone just says "Washington".

    When people talk about the "Washington Consensus" for example, it is just assumed they are not talking about the state.

  • Trump unleashes furious rant over Wall Street Journal claim that Iran ‘takes him for a sucker’

    Jump

  • Or just memes of things like Kamala dancing, AOC dancing, etc...

  • Trump unleashes furious rant over Wall Street Journal claim that Iran ‘takes him for a sucker’

    Jump

  • I'd laugh if people he rants out at just replied with U MAD BRO? memes instead of even addressing any of the supposed points he typed out with those baby hands. Preferably using Obama, Biden, Kamala, and Hillary, LOL.

  • Trump unleashes furious rant over Wall Street Journal claim that Iran ‘takes him for a sucker’

    Jump

  • So....we can assume they are right.

  • Federal judge calls RFK Jr. an “unsafe” leader in order protecting trans youth health care

    Jump

  • Don't forget random roadkill bear meat and strapping whale heads on the family car...

  • Kash Patel’s $250M lawsuit offers a CliffsNotes version of his alleged conduct – and could haunt him for months

    Jump

  • Bet he's fired within 30 days.

  • Texas can require public schools to display the Ten Commandments in classrooms, US appeals court rules

    Jump

  • This is the time for every teacher to just casually mention to NOT google George Carlin's take on "the ten commandments"

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTb6YGciI2g

    ... Let's start with the first three: I AM THE LORD THY GOD THOU SHALT NOT HAVE STRANGE GODS BEFORE ME THOU SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD THY GOD IN VAIN THOU SHALT KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH Right off the bat the first three are pure bullshit. Sabbath day? Lord's name? strange gods? Spooky language! Designed to scare and control primitive people. In no way does superstitious nonsense like this apply to the lives of intelligent civilized humans in the 21st century. ...

  • SHOCK POLL: Trump Approval Craters to 33% in New AP Poll, Whopping 67% Disapprove

    Jump

  • Not sure he's conservative, he's often just annoyingly contrarian - he really prides himself on being "that guy", and he's definitely a carrier of the Murc's Law virus. He's not exactly Patient Zero for it, or even the worst offender - David Brooks shares a lot of the blame, at least in more recent times. But he's up there with carrying the torch for it.

    I've seen him do so much both sides nonsense. He is still clinging to Israel, FFS while acting like those that protest Gaza are actually antisemites. He keeps harping on the trans thing.

    He's exhausting to watch and at this point, I'm mostly hate-watching him. And his guests at least on the panel make up an array of annoying choices.

    But one thing he isn't, and it is not someone that really is going to the mat for Kamala or Biden. If anything, he's almost exactly the kind of guy that would love to gloat "told you so" about how Democrats can be disappointing, as if that's some big revelation, LOL.

  • US DoJ launches investigation into Southern Poverty Law Center

    Jump

  • Cons: Bitch about supposed cases of lawfare, incessantly.

    Also cons: conduct massive amounts of lawfare.

  • SHOCK POLL: Trump Approval Craters to 33% in New AP Poll, Whopping 67% Disapprove

    Jump

  • It's still wild as hell when I have a conversation with some reactionary centrist and just casually drop that in there that he's the worst president in history and I get this WellWhatAboutBidenOrKamala?! shit.

    It's just mind-bogglingly stupid.

    Sure, Biden is not perfect. Liberals have an entire litany of items they could go over. And he's also, {clutches pearls, gasps, gets the vapors, staggers to the fainting couch} old, ZOMG. And apparently now that's inherently bad as we employ the Fallacy of the Young, I guess?

    But I would have been just fine with his staff Weekend'ing At Bernie's that guy over the option of this PEDOnald crime wave of a "presidency". Easily. Without question.

    These people that start up with the "yeah, but I had to live under Obama, and I had to live under Biden, and you can suffer this, too" shit are just so very fucking stupid. I have no idea what cross they think they had to bear under either of those Presidents? They never seem able to articulate anything remotely cogent.

  • She still would have been way better than this stuff. And that's the point.

    As for intellectually superior, it usually seems to be the ones that love to gloat that they are Above It All (TM) because they did the most ridiculous foot-stamping huffy thing that a supposed functioning adult could possibly do when it comes to civic engagement, and that's stay home or vote third party. And they looooove to tell everyone about it, too.

  • Tucker Carlson says he regrets backing Donald Trump and is ‘tormented by it’

    Jump

  • I seem to recall him saying something along the lines of that if he was going to turn to fascism, it would be because the Democrats made him do it because they called him names like racist, etc.

    Like he was using the argument of the wife-beater nearly verbatim - these assholes that accuse liberals and Democrats of "making them racist" because they were called names really is quite something. That's not how racism works.
