My biggest frustration with my fellow white males is that: once all the brown people are deported, once all women are forced to give birth to babies they don’t want, once all of their supposed enemies are sufficiently put away… their life will still be the same and they will still be unhappy.

I think that having an autistic child is a daily challenge which some might consider a heavy burden. people just want answers about where it comes from and what causes it. When you see how they’re so desperate for a cause, it drives fear in others who want to avoid that same fate for their child.

Dear media: please call tariffs what they are, taxes.

During every debate and every upcoming election, Democrats need to ask conservatives “what is a tariff? “

Personally, while I agree with everything it says, eventually Trumps base will fall in line and drop the Epstein shit. Because holding him accountable to it is the same as admitting they were wrong about him and they canNOT do that. Admitting being wrong is the lowest low for these people.

Welp. Bluesky has finally completed its transition to pre-musk Twitter. My whole feed is filled with blue checks who I don’t even follow. Great.

“The devil you know” is still the devil. Stop using aversion to change as an excuse to prevent improvements.

All I keep feeling when I’m reading the news is “they’ve won.” It’s pessimistic but our system has been cracked and people on the left are just too feckless and divided and can’t come together to literally save their own lives.

Can you run a gambit if you’re pursuing a risky maneuver?

It’s the same as the “right side of history.” And if that history is rewritten? What if “this” and “history” are a whole generation or two down the road? I think that’s the frightening thing for me. This belief that a better era is around the corner has lulled us into a false sense of destiny.

And they had no qualms bringing “democracy” to Iraq nor will they with Iran whenever that invasion starts.

Am I the only one who thinks this “outrage” over the Sydney Sweeny ad campaign is completely manufactured? I bet American Eagles marketing department is high-fiving each other in between lines of coke.

Legacy media: remember when you did that thing when you wouldn’t let up on Biden until he stepped down a year ago? You need to keep doing that with the Epstein case.

I’m waiting on the wild, unexpected scandal that will inevitably come from POTUS because he is getting eaten alive from the Epstein “no list” scandal. And the media will fall for it….. Like they do….. Every time……

I think he’s desperate right now to red ball away from the Epstein thing bc MAGA is melting down over that right now

For all of the “I DoNt vOte fOr thE paRtY. I vOtE foR thE peRSon” types. Get a fucking clue. Blackburn, Paul, Collins etc. at the end of the day are cowards and they do what their masters tell them to do. Stop acting like you’re being thoughtful because you don’t consider the candidate’s party.

The only thing the GOP has done consistently and without fail in the times they have had control of Congress and WH has been tax cuts. It transcends every issue ever taken up by the GOP. The only thing that unites them. The bill is passing. Period. Stop pretending that it’s hanging in the balance.
