Lol Trump’s biggest vulnerability of the entire campaign is literally peaking and Democrats are wasting the moment fighting their own president. Sincerely, what are you guys doing

I thought that I was very cynical, but apparently not enough. I am truly shocked. "Clarence Thomas Took Free Yacht Trip to Russia, Chopper Flight to Putin’s Hometown: Dems" What in the actual fuck.

I am absolutely DONE listening to a bunch of rich establishment media figures telling the rest of us what to do. These elites are selling us out -- and they can fly away to their homes overseas if Trump seizes power. Biden is OUR nominee -- and he's going to WIN.

Imagine a Trump administration with Stephen Miller, Steve Bannon, Kash Patel, Roger Stone, Laura Loomer, and Mike Flynn. If that doesn't scare the fuck out of you, seek psychiatric care immediately.

"The Times sent out as 'breaking news' a story whose headline announced that an expert in Parkinson’s had visited the WH 8 times in a recent period; much further down we learn the same doc also made 10 visits in 2012.

The 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year. That’s enough to end homelessness, and hunger, and pay for universal childcare, with billions left over. This is the crime wave we should be talking about.

Biden's age and poor debate showing is obviously a legit story, but what we've seen over the last week is a hysterical feeding frenzy aimed at some combination of self-vindication, settling old scores, claiming a scalp, and the desire of some in the media to have Trump back in power. (1/2)

You don’t have to pretend that the press actually believes that Biden’s age is an actual issue — especially compared to Trump, who is basically the same age, whose speech is so littered with lies and errors you can’t even parse which is which.

The political malpractice in Schumer and Jeffries co-signing the Netanyahu invite is not that they had some way to block the House (in whose chamber it happens anyway) from doing it w/o the Senate. It was in forfeiting the framing of him as a partisan GOP actor distinguishable from Israel as such.

Justice Samuel Alito flew not one, but two pro-insurrection flags at his homes. Alito not being forced to recuse from Trump's immunity case and upcoming Jan 6 cases tells you everything you need to know about the SCOTUS code of "ethics" established last year. Hint: It's a sham.

Chris Kluwe spent 8 yrs kicking for the Vikings, set 8 different team records, and was blacklisted from the league for outspoken support of social justice issues like gay marriage, while Harrison Butker is defended by the NFL Commissioner himself. One side gets canceled, and it ain't conservatives.

As they hoard more wealth, the ultra-rich will do anything to protect it. They know Democratic majorities would pass higher taxes, stricter regulations, and enforce anti-monopoly laws. This is why billionaires are doling out big bucks to Trump’s fascist campaign. Be warned.

One justice openly supported the coup. Another justice’s wife may have participated in the coup. Neither of those justices should be part of ANY case regarding January 6 — and they are not fit to sit on the bench at all, let alone on the Supreme Court.

The links between the Alito insurrection flag story & the Thomas/Harlan Crow story become apparent when one recognizes that a significant thread in the US "conservative" tradition involves intellectual & business elites viewing the post-1937 federal gov't as un-American & deserving of destruction.

Johnson serves at Democrats' pleasure. Johnson's statements at Trump's trial were despicable. More than anything, this was a statement from the Speaker that he’s willing to steal the election for Trump, and Democrats should say, “Then you’re out.”

People will really yell at you if you suggest AI models should pay for a license to all the works they ingest and cite their sources in their answers. I think it’s in part bc they believe in the magic of a machine intelligence. But we see more and more undeniable examples of straight up copying.
