Finally realized what the freakout over Mamdani becoming mayor reminded me of, and it's the freakout over the first black mayors in southern cities.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

Democrats in Maine drafting 77 year old Janet Mills to run against Susan Collins because electrifying Graham Plattner is insufficiently pro-Israel is EVERYTHING you need to know about the fakakta state of our party.

It is just incredibly broken and corrupt.

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

What's the biggest inside indicator of Trump's poor health? JD Vance's behavior.

Vance knows that Trump's prognosis is poor. He believes this is going to give him the presidency before 2028. No American VP has ever behaved this way. His level of arrogance is off the charts.

If you would have described the traits of hard core MAGAs and Trump ten years ago…. Those very same people would have called those people SNOWFLAKES.

Constantly whining, always the victim, always angry at everyone else.
