Typical straight white USian dude (sports, craft beers, outdoorsy stuff, history podcasts, etc.) who refuses to pretend I don't have it good. Philly fan. Militantly pro-democracy shitlib. Free trader. YIMBY AF. Trying to help save my country from itself.

LMAO.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Enjoy what you voted for.

This is par for the course for Trump. He overhypes the value of his trade and investment deals the same way he did the value of his net worth, his shitty condos, and his golf courses. Once an outer borough real estate huckster, always an outer borough real estate huckster.

New ICE spokesman just debuted:

Proper names: "Passyunk", "Schuylkill", "Bala Cynwyd", and many more. We have many unusual place names, from a wide array of source languages.

Common noun: any word for an oblong cylindrical sandwich other than "hoagie".

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

You can't be a "member of Antifa" any more than you can be a member of the Justice League, the Illuminati, or the Knights of the Round Table. Fictional organizations don't have real members!

How do people get and keep jobs at the NY Times while sucking this bad at journalism?

Not a Catholic, nor a fan of the institution of the church or many of its teachings, but it also does tons of charity work, including a lot in parts of the world where it's most needed. There is a reason it is beloved in some of the world's poorest countries and it's not just false consciousness.

Woke Marxist Pope alert! Somebody warn Lara Loomer.

Autocrats crave being feared and hate being ridiculed. It's an effective strategy.

He probably passed 5th grade science, but only because his rich family bribed his teachers.

What the fuck is this brainworm-addled drug addict talking about?

Do not mistake a joke mocking the stupidity and incompetence of the Trumpkins for a serious warning.

Jack Posobiec, human urinal cake.

There is a >50/50 chance they cite this skeet as evidence in the charging document when you are arrested.

"Nick Clegg says asking tellers for permission to take money would 'kill' the bank robbing industry."

Does he realize how ridiculous this sounds? If your industry can't exist without committing crimes on a massive scale, maybe your industry SHOULDN'T exist.

Meal Team Six is going in.

Xeynon @xeynon.bsky.social · 4d

Really depends.

Xeynon @xeynon.bsky.social · 5d

That would definitely help and is something the party should be investing a lot in trying to do. Hopefully they are.

Not what the data says, unfortunately. 2024 non-voters were probably actually slightly Trumpier than 2024 voters actually.

More of Miller, please.

The more regular people see this foaming-at-the-mouth hate-spewing wretched little homunculus, the faster they'll turn against his awful vision for the country.

Xeynon @xeynon.bsky.social · 5d

So native Americans? Because they are the only group of Americans with any more of a claim to this place than any other group of immigrants.

Maybe we should stop printing the statements of ICE officials uncritically since they have a proven track record of lying at this point.

Stephen Miller trying to smile and laugh is a disturbing sight.

You can practically see the reptilian alien neurons firing inside his egg sac cranium as they attempt to assemble a convincing simulacrum of a display of positive human emotion.

Given her personal history it's like Marge is concerned about the effect on her a demonic sexual performance would have.

Curtis, the exit is right there. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
