The "insurrection" photo they're using is so old the donut shop has a sign advertising their payphone.

Shame on CNN for pushing the false impression that Trump's bullshit claims of violent insurrection have ANY validity.

"President Donald Trump and his top aides are using the word 'insurrection' more frequently to describe anti-ICE protests in places like Portland," writes Zachary B. Wolf. https://cnn.it/4pWYmzr

These guys are not very ideological, and like it or not (and I know for 99% of you the answer is "not") this is why I don't think it's useful to get mad at people who choose to play on their turf over the next three years

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.

Everybody wants to keep “race out of sports” then Kyren Lacy is exonerated and Dan Dakich gets extra racist after Mark Sanchez gets stabbed in downtown Indy, and I don’t know ANYTHING about sports, but it seems like pretending racism isn’t a problem isn’t solving the problem.

Time for my Mark Sanchez story where he was on my flight from BHM to Philadelphia & then I saw him out at a bar in Philly 16 hours later after a rehearsal dinner. The sister of the groom grabbed my arm & said “oh god Mark Sanchez is here, please talk to me so he’ll leave me alone”

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

A thing about me is I hate it when people lip sync. It just hits something in my brain that causes pure disgust. TikTok is not the app for me.

a government run by internet trolls, for internet trolls.

message on the hud.gov homepage right now: "The Radical Left are going to shut down the government and inflict massive pain on the American people unless they get their $1.5 trillion wish list of demands. The Trump administration wants to keep the government open for the American people."

First time this guy has ever made me laugh

Comedian Tim Dillon said on his podcast last month that he signed up for financial reasons.
He said he had been offered "a large sum of money" - $375,000 for one performance - and said that other comedians had been offered as much as $1.6 million. He told his detractors to "get over it," adding, "So what if they have slaves, they're paying me enough to look the other way."
But in an episode of the Tim Dillon Podcast last week, the comedian announced he'd been removed from the lineup for the comments he made about the country's record on slavery.
