Quick, in an atmosphere of " the Epstein files are a hoax made up by the Democrats", what's the dumbest thing they could have done?
The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

This. I'm so tired of the "why isn't anyone doing anything?!" posts when the people in charge of enforcing laws are the ones breaking them.

Sincere question, who arrests government officials when the very ones who should be arrested run the Department of Justice?

I want y'all to know that arguing with people that Bob Cratchit was actually destitute is making me want to beat their head against the wall. "There were people who got by on less." 15 shillings for a family of eight is not enough fucking money, and I can't believe I have to say that.

Man James Carville can shut the entire fuck up. First off, his misogynoir is showing. Second, he clearly didn't do any checking or thinking before he started making pronouncements about Jasmine Crockett. He had one good win, and it's really time to put him out to pasture.

She didn't want to deploy to D.C.
"She hated it. She cried about it."
But she started visiting monuments and museums and started enjoying it.
May she rest in peace.

Wow, who invited you to turn on my webcam while I wasn't looking?
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Documentary: the Dissolution of the Monasteries released a huge amount of capital into the economy, which would eventually trickle down to entrepreneurs like Thomas Gresham...
So, are we just ignoring that his father was at the execution of Anne Boleyn? And an MP? And the mayor?

I can't comment, but at least as far back as Mary I in England, when violence committed against humans was less important than the violence committed against faith and the vehicles of faith (i.e. churches). The denunciation of several "heretics" came on nothing more than the strength of their brick.
historians -- when did defacing buildings start getting called "violence" in the press? it always seems kind of strange to see it equated with violence against, you know, people

'Bosie' Douglas, an OG Demon Twink, is born. Bosie is known for his affair with Oscar Wilde and his father's crusade to bring Oscar down.
Bosie once described Wilde as "the greatest force for evil" but still made money writing about their relationship.

The worst part about losing all the dogs in the house in a week is the sudden silence where there should be noise. The doorbell rang and I didn't know it was going to happen because buddy cop one and two hadn't assumed the position.

I'm not an advocate for violence, but as I told a friend the other day, not enough people get popped in the mouth for the shit they say on the internet. If more people understood that saying this to someone's face was a good way to take a nap, there'd be less people saying it.
Receipts, btw - amusingly going back through my screenshots some of these came from your posts about these the first time around.
This was actually the SECOND Aveta death threat, first one was a little more delicate:
