It’s so cool how we’re in a large-scale military conflict and the President is spending his time building a ballroom.

This rocks. I finally know what being a Roman must have felt like.

I assume that if Rinos are republicans in name only, then Fetterman is a Dino.

Damn, bad day for 🦖s.

in literally no world is there anything in the past or present of the US to indicate she will even spend a day in prison. This is nonsense.

Republicans proving day in and day out that they will spend any amount of money and sacrifice anything to fight for pedophiles.

For the average American though, you are invited to die in a gutter somewhere.

Americans who have not traveled abroad really do not fully understand that broadcast news in the US is almost entirely drivel. Other countries actually have serious broadcast news which informs the viewer instead of giving us 70% ads and 30% both sides nonsense.

The game is rigged. Trump and the .01% make money no matter what happens. Tariffs here - they overcharge us. Tariffs gone - we pay them even more with our tax dollars.

Whatever the scenario, we get taken.

The issues are structural and the structure needs to change.

It would be extremely funny if in this final infinite jest for Elon he ends up getting completely fucked due to Hubris re SpaceX.

Donald Trump married to an immigrant hates immigrants. Yup. Weird that.

Also this idea that you can’t be antisemitic and yet have Jews in your life is definitely… a thought. A dumb thought, but a thought nonetheless.

This was made in 1953. It’s 2026 and nothing has changed.

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

We really will pay any amount of money for war and exactly zero dollars to ensure that Americans get decent healthcare etc

I say this as a Jew - it is amazing how republicans have used Israel as the justifications to spend hundreds of billions of dollars and start a whole war and the obvious result of this justification is going to be a whole boatload of antisemitism.

The obvious thing about Congress voting that they should have no power is that if Congress functionally doesn’t exist, the president has no reason not to at some point just get rid of Congress —- same goes for SCOTUS obviously.

it’s incredibly funny that every time you see Congress pass something “bipartisan”, it’s always like “we are legalizing stealing candies from babies”

I love NYC but NYC is the gucci of cities in that you’re paying for the brand, not the value. Objectively you’re getting ripped off for everything in this city by some 300% in terms of price to value excluding housing where it’s even more.
