there are kaiju crossing our borders, wrecking our bridges, eating our nuclear generators, some of them are firebreathers, and some of them I'm told are very good moths.

Hey, don’t get mad at me if you’re helping to ratfuck Joe Biden. You should be mad at yourself for being played by these clowns AGAIN.

When you see the way the press is treating Joe Biden for aging in public, you see how they could treat Donald Trump for committing fraud, rape, espionage, and insurrection and never, ever will.

History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

I mean I do want to tax and I do want to spend, I think you overcome some terms through reclamation. I want to tax billionaires and spend on regular people, why should I be ashamed of that. Is a hell of a message.

After the Dobbs ruling, I made a new flag to fly on the Fourth of July. Today I made a second flag. I'm beside myself. Surely my old pillowcases + electrical tape will make all the difference.

well, it's because the liberal mindset focuses on "justice" as the great equalizer, and so obsesses over "social contracts" and "rule of law" to establish and maintain systems. ... but yeah, it's still fcking lawyers involved.

This engraving on the front of the US Supreme Court building needs to be updated. Maybe “EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER KING TRUMP.” Because that’s what today’s SCOTUS shitshow really is about.

Each person is given a dial. You can turn it up as high as 100. If you love what you are hearing, turn it down as low as zero if you hate what you are hearing, and every time Trump opened his mouth, those dials dropped, they just absolutely plummeted..

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

No, my logic is if the court rewrites a statute in which congress outlawed bribery because they didn’t feel like it should cover a particular type of bribery, that is a form of legalizing bribery
