  1. Elon is everything people on the right have spent years saying Soros is. Funny enough, turns out none of these conspiracy theorists gave a shit when their conspiracy came true, but it turned out to be a guy who they thought was on their side.
  2. I despise Gavin Newsom and think he's basically Patrick Bateman in politician form, but he's the only one saying what needs to be fucking said right now. What's baffling is how quickly he sensed the political opportunity here after thinking his way forward was befriending Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon.
  3. Oh no, big crypto got to bozo. What's Mark Andreesen paying you!?
  4. Don't forget to put the three parenthesis around his name.
  5. Sorry dawg, we had a good run though.
  6. Conflating Jews with the State of Israel is literally neonazi shit. They love doing that and it makes for extremely effective propaganda. If you don’t want to assist neonazi propaganda efforts, don’t fucking do it.
  7. 1. Contributors to AIPAC aren't public but many of them are almost certainly not Jewish, given the huge support for Israel among American christians. 2. For what should be fucking obvious reasons, it's anti-Semitic and wrong to conflate the state of Israel with Jews generally, particularly outside of Israel.
  8. Calling it Jewish money rather than AIPAC money was a choice.
  9. So uh, we're all gonna die.
  10. This take about Newsom is also indisputably correct if you apply it to Cuomo:
  11. Like all Michigan sports fans online, she's been doing the lord's work reminding tOSU losers that even though they won an NC last year, they lost to Michigan. It's never not hilarious.
  12. I'm reasonably sure I was one of like three posters here who in 2021 thought Trump had a very good shot at being President again.
  13. Sure. It's just funny reading his wild swings from literally one post to the next about leadership while speaking very condescendingly to anyone he thinks disagrees with him when, again, he disagreed with himself literally from one post to the next.
  14. You should read your own posts sometimes, man.
  15. I’d love to hear Ana’s thoughts on who started WW2.
  16. He loves the first amendment, he just thinks it only protects Republicans. Everyone else is less human to him. You want to see some incredibly reprehensible racist shit? Here's Jake Tapper in 2003:
  17. No, this is because Trump has wanted to do this since 2020 (if not much earlier).
  18. Why the fuck would you assume that? Tapper is and has always been scum.
  19. Hey, y'all remember this? Have y'all noticed how so many of the signatories of this fucking letter have been silent as Trump and the GOP have been busy demolishing the First Amendment? Well, it turns out one of its key organizers doesn't believe people have the right to peaceably assemble:
  20. Would ya look at that?
  21. The people who fill the streets during protests aren't really "the left." Most of them are just members of the community, many of them haven't been politically engaged before, and they're protesting because they suddenly see that they're under threat. Protests are not the result of some backroom scheming by professional Democrats who think brown-skinned people waving Mexican flags is good optics. You can try to organize smallish groups of protesters, but once it gets large enough you can't really command a large protest. He can be insufferable sometimes, but Will Stancil has a really good thread on this shit on BlueSky right now: Don't peddle the "it'd be better if they weren't carrying Mexican flags" shit. That's giving in to GOP framing. You give them that and they'll find another angle and you'll give on that too, and you'll just keep giving because you think it's an argument. It's not an argument. It's a demonstration of common humanity and an assertion of rights and agency against the oppressive boot of the state. Anyone who wants to help, stop worrying about how the optics aren't as ideal for protesters as you imagine they could be and start thinking about how you can make the optics worse for Trump and his dipshit toadies.
  22. Yeah, Trump THINKS widespread protests help him, but they didn't help him in 2020 and they're not likely to help him now. People are confusing the fact that there is often a later backlash to protests with the immediate politics of protests.
  23. A guy who's never known a shotgun to be finicky has never owned a shotgun.
  24. Fuck that. The LA County Sheriffs department is well known as probably the most violent and corrupt law enforcement organization in the country. Rub ghost pepper in their eyes too.
