There's an impeachment resolution against this guy in the House but it's not being talked about very much because "This lunatic is trying to kill your children" isn't a compelling enough political message I guess

If the president is a probable child rapist he should maybe be impeached, I don’t know.
Breaking:

Rep. Ro Khanna says the Trump DOJ's production "does not comply with" the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Khanna says he and Rep. Thomas Massie "are exploring all options" — including impeachment of DOJ officials, inherent contempt, or referring individuals for obstruction of justice.

It's simultaneously depressing and hilarious to me that when I read a shocking statistic that I would've assumed the opposite of (the gig work one), I simply go "wow that's crazy" and not have a complete meltdown like some other people are having
No.

1.) thats not how unemployment is calculated

2.) the number of people working multiple jobs is not particularly high now

3.) gig work is slightly less prevalent now than the 1990s.

responding to “what do you think of Adolph Hitler?” with “I’m in favor of a strong executive” is advanced conservatism. these kids have perfected the craft.

My entire life has been a dialectic of my generation being called stupid only to grow up and have the new generation be actually stupid

It wasn't supposed to be like this

I've lived a lot of places and I've been a lot of places and I just simply have never had a language barrier experience

At work, in restaurants, if someone struggles with English that's on them and they know that? And they spend their lives navigating that? It's never been shrugged off onto me
Cannot believe this version of the Republican Party won a record number of Latino/Hispanic voters, this country is so cooked lol

"Are we incapable of talking to each other" and then they frame this as "vs". Gee I wonder why we can't talk to each other

Again, it is the sober opinion of my mainstream liberal lawyer father that the conservative justices should be hung for treason

Remember how Tom Barrett, who had all of his ads with a military helicopters, immediately sucked Trump's dick and blamed the helicopter pilot
When a military helicopter collided with a plane at Ronald Reagan National Airport in January and killed 67 people, Trump absurdly blamed DEI.

Months later, the administration is eating its words, as it takes full responsibility for the crash and may end up paying for damages. trib.al/VCIZGVL

I want to remind people that he is among the most accursed combinations, Argentine-Australian.

It's like if a eugenics cult tried to make someone genetically predisposed to be an antisemite
Bad Empanada thinks he’s such a good ally of Palestine that he’s - *checks notes* bullying a young Palestinian woman by accusing her of facilitating the genocide of her own people because she doesn’t want innocent Jewish people to be killed in Bondi

My only ever interaction with a PI is when one asked me to give a character testimony about a guy I knew who got a semi truck wheel to the face at ~100mph

So I'm sure it's a varied experience
what people think PIs doing: be Benoit Blanc

what PIs actually do: mostly investigate infidelity
PI has got to be the job with the biggest delta between the glamourized media portrayal and the grubby reality.

Remember this when you hear "Go back to Poland."
A new poll shows the party of far-right leader Grzegorz Braun reaching third place for the first time, with support of 11%.

The finding continues a dramatic recent rise for Braun, who is currently on trial for attacking a Hanukkah celebration in parliament.

as the hosts hint that they would like to be invited to watch the movie at the white house, one asks "is there a movie theater in the white house?"

no, dumbass, there is not. It was in the east wing.

I'm not sure if I'm hopeful or depressed that this scenario matches the Soviet interwar rocket program
It's like on the eve of WWII we decided to stop funding R&D into weapons systems to develop advanced aircraft, ships, and tanks. Climate change is going to kick our butts if we lose NCAR (and NOAA) at a time when climate change is increasing extreme weather events capable of crashing the economy.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.
