As a former Repugnican, I can tell you that it was all a lie. I am ashamed and embarrassed that I once believed those lies. I believe that people like me will be their worst nightmare, because our hatred for their con runs deep.

I keep thinking about voter intimidation. People may not want to go to a dropbox or fear they need a passport, so they won't vote at all. I feel like we need to start training for ballot collection or make Know Your Rights cards, election style.

And don't come at me w/ "midterms aren't happening".

You’re doing the lord’s work in pushing back on entitled expectations of how our government works. I wish I had time to join the fray.

Uh, I suppose this explains his hand and the bitch slap on his neck?

Adding this fundraiser boosted by Fella @ducugavril.nafoforum.org.

Doing a small bit extra this week to keep Ukraine from being forgotten from the headlines.

Russia will lose.

I don’t have time to be a Fella these days so I do weekly automatic donations to Come Back Alive.

We can’t let the chaos caused by Trump and Bibi in the Middle East impair Ukraine’s fight so I’m jumping in for a little bit more this Toonie Tuesday.

Russia will lose.

Yes, but if Iran keeps the Straight of Hormuz closed, it's a completely different story.

That’s uncertain. I believe Russia’s making their own Shaheds now. The chaos could divert resources away from Ukraine and energy turmoil may throw a lifeline to Russia’s gas and oil revenues.

If the chaos is short, it might be in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦β€™s favor.

May be good time to donate a few bucks to πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ crowdfunds.

My back hurts just watching that. How you do any of that without hips is beyond me. I mean, how you do it with hips is already pretty insane.

Um dude, did you even look at the racist screenshots you were replying about?

Featuring not actually Kevin Sorbo, but just his AI likeness which will make me feel very conflicted because part of me wants there to be another Kevin Sorbo movie that puts all four letters of flop in flop.

Anything that's more than 2 hours long factoring in all the pageantry should legally be required to have nachos, concession vendors, and a halftime break to find the bathroom.

U.S. men's hockey with Curt-Schilling-in-Boston levels of good will squandering. A 25-mile lead in the good will marathon and they tripped on their dicks right at the finish line.

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion and gave up hockey too. Was shocked at how many Canadian pro-Trumpers there were. Probably a few less today, but the point was already made.

It’s a privileged person’s sport and almost exclusively white. I mean it’s hard to be whiter than golf, but NHL yo.

The US women’s hockey gold medal winners refusing to go to Trump’s White House, and the US men’s hockey gold medal winners enthusiastically going to Trump’s White House, would actually say an awful lot about the broken state of the United States right now.

Plot twist, HandWrytten is actually being written by some guy in a Filipino prison who gets a Balut for every five he completes.

Who the fuck let that moron into the locker room? It’s someone’s responsibility to know that can’t happen.

Jeffrey Epstein Was Vladimir Putin's Wealth Manager, FBI Source Claimed in Newly Released Epstein Files Jeffrey Epstein managed money for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, among other powerful world leaders, one confidential source claimed in FBI testimony

The mainstream media is so beholden to Trump they’ve left it to PEOPLE MAGAZINE to break this?

Neal Katyal son of immigrants went to SCOTUS won & overturned tariffs, Alysa Liu, daughter of an immigrant, went Olympics & won gold. Winners representing a fraction of the myriad contributions to American society made every damn day by immigrants. Diversity is our strength USA.

As a kid, I remember seeing him on SNL first so I was surprised the comedian was running for president, but it made me pay more attention to him... to watch the funny guy on the boring stage. Instead, I found his oratory to be mesmerising and it befuddled me that he always did poorly in polls.

The tragic story of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem's missing blankie woke me from my winter hibernation and inspired me to make a new meme.

Trump's cabinet members are whiny snowflakes. They can't handle criticism & they can't live without their security blankets. They need to grow up!

If I recall he was something of a progressive purity troll initially, but was basically an all around asshole.

I lost track of him, I guess he’s gone red pill now?

Someone correct me if my memory wrong. I forgot all about about this bad comedian until now.

I’m sure Marcus is fully aware. Simple errors should be the easiest to address. That they still aren’t is a red flag. I wasted a year of my life, project managing early AI tech years ago. It’s like a puzzle with 1 piece wrong. But you’re not 1 move away from winning. You may be off by a million.

I don't normally keep up with what the Army is reading these days, but I happened to click on this official recommended reading list for junior officers and it's appalling. 53 of 66 titles are corporate-style self-help books. This is a great way to hollow out and dumb down your military.

Here’s the thing… a dusty, used-up, gravel-sounding, lying, murderous eugenicist who snorted blow off a toilet seat *is* the best that MAGA can find to do the job. Nobody else is any better than this scumbag. That’s the problem, they’re all this venal. It’s a jobs program for the scum of the earth.

The Myth of a Rightward Realignment Let’s discard some stubborn misconceptions about Trump’s support and what happened in the 2024 election that are obscuring our understanding of a profound de-alignment

The thing is: The argument that America had undergone a massive rightward shift was less a factual contention and more an ideological assertion, an article of faith. It has proven to be a stubbornly resistant myth that is exceedingly hard to kill – just like the idea that β€œthere are no protests.”
