Over 2 million now a few hours later. Streisand Effect in full force.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up just yet. Some turtles can easily live for over a hundred years.

“People watching Fox News, every day, 24/7 with their volume turned all the way up in their living room and it’s so loud that you can’t hear anything else? Those are the baby boomers and God bless them, those are my parents’ generation. I love so many of the baby boomers, but they are the most brainwashed generation because they eat that crap, like, they just eat it up all day long. They’re spoon-fed the propaganda on TV.”

Damn, MTG over here spitting facts. She did lean into that propaganda hard, so can’t really give get a pass. But still good to see her speaking some truth.

Surprised that wasn’t made today

The Department of Justice is instead moving to investigate Good’s widow

Jesus fucking Christ, the nerve of these people

“APSU did not follow the required termination process in this matter, and I deeply regret and apologize for the impact this has had on Professor Michael and on our campus community,” the university president said. “I am committed to ensuring that due process and fairness are upheld in all future actions.”

Kind of a hollow apology from the school president. “Sorry we didn’t follow the require termination process.” No apologies for trying to repress free speech. No apologies for over reacting when the professor posted a quote and nothing else. No apologies for trying to curry favor with an authoritarian regime by falling in line like a good little boy. Seriously, fuck that guy.

Green said that her turn away from unrepentant Maga acolyte came in that moment and she abandoned her training “to never apologize and to never admit when you’re wrong”.

I’m sorry, are we all just glossing over the casual mention that there’s MAGA training to never apologize or admit you’re wrong? I assumed this was their unofficial playbook, but this is the first I’ve ever heard of an actual training being mentioned.

Yeah exactly. The only reason they would choose to heavily react the files and refuse to release others is because the contents of those files is absolutely devastating to Trump. Paul acts like they’re just accidentally covering this up.

“Let me be very clear, we need a full release,” Khanna said.

Hehehehehehehe

Did they remove that feature that told everyone most MAGA mouthpieces were foreign actors?

Jesus the quotes in this article are a real bleak loom into how fucked we are as a country:

“Some will say these maps are political. Let me be clear,” Sen. Chris Garten ®, another backer, said as he slapped the lectern. “You’re God damn right they are!”

and also:

“President Trump has made it clear to Indiana leaders: if the Indiana Senate fails to pass the map, all federal funding will be stripped from the state,” Heritage Action wrote on X. “Roads will not be paved. Guard bases will close. Major projects will stop. These are the stakes and every NO vote will be to blame.”

In a sane world, this would be a no brainer and he would actually be put on trial for murder. Alas, that is not this world. I doubt Hegseth with face any serious consequences.

Who are these 24% of people that think Trump has lowered prices?

It really does show that 1) People in general aren’t very smart. Most people won’t do some basic research to see what they’re voting for. And 2) Most people are just going to vote how their party tells them.

I just want to point out that Ranked-Choice Voting was on the ballot in Colorado in 2024. It ultimately failed because it was opposed by both parties. I was surprised, because I talked through the issues with a friend who considered herself “very progressive” she mentioned she was against Ranked-Choice Voting because her Democratic Voting Guide recommended voting against it.

From https://tsscolorado.com/colorado-voters-easily-reject-ranked-choice-voting/

…it angered both Democratic and Republican party leaders and drew opposition from prominent Democratic backers, including a plethora of unions, progressive groups and some environmental organizations.

81% of those who voted for Trump approve of the president’s job

After the 2024 election, Latinos, particularly Latino men, credited Trump’s economic proposals and immigration policies – suggesting he was not serious about threats of mass deportations – for winning their vote.

At the time, two-thirds of Latinos said they “do not feel like he is talking about me” when Trump discussed his immigration policies

How ignorant do you have to be to have seen Trump’s first term, then heard the rhetoric of him running again twice, and thought “yes his racism is against people like me, but surely he’ll know I’m one of the good ones”?

And 81% of those people still believe that after everything that’s happened so far!

Can we just start referring to Kash Patel as O.o

Grok boasted that Musk had the “potential to drink piss better than any human in history,” that he was “the ultimate throat goat” whose “blowjob prowess edges out Trump’s”

This is gonna piss off the Reagan family. Everybody knows Nancy was the true Throat GOAT.

Damn, even the flags go down at the White House.
