It's this but then the exterminator sends you text messages asking for more money every 3 hours for the rest of your life
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

"But what should we do when the highborn and wealthy take to crime? Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed?"

i feel like i see a lot of "mysterious new account makes big bet on insider information" news stories and not enough people-being-arrested-for-that news stories
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

When I tell you that this regime is the Reagan administration on crack (allegedly), it's bar for bar. If Reagan has no haters, I am dead.

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video
Uniformed military are involved in this shambolic behavior and they all need to be held to account
A primary goal of the discussion now on dragging dem pols to do the right thing has to be on widespread accountability and where appropriate prosecutions of significant numbers of servicemembers

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

It's so funny to think "we had a 38-page handbook but we just replaced it with five values" inspires confidence instead of alarm. Like, if you walked into a restaurant and were told that, you'd leave immediately.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”
uhhh yeah I can see why these childcare properties weren't eager to let in some rando dudes asking "where are the kids?"

Frank Capra was an avowed anti-communist but he made a movie where black hearted rich men with a chip on their shoulder have nothing better to do than buy up everything and make everything materially worse for everyone, and also on the side drive the nicest man you’ll ever meet to suicide

Everyone is pretending that they were 5 years old deciphering the weird ableist message of Rudolph, but I'm here to tell you as someone who was actually a 5 year old at one point that my takeaway was: stop-motion animation is cool
What was your takeaway from Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, when you watched it at a kid?

Nationalize Amazon at this point feels like a moderate position
Post Office should take over Amazon Web Services
The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.
