The elites getting everything: Trump’s tax bill gave the top 1% the largest share of cuts. Musk’s net worth grew while he ran DOGE. The Qatar plane. The crypto pump. The tariff exemptions for donors. Jack Posobiec is calling a voluntary conservation tweet communism while describing, word for word, what the administration he works for has done to regular Americans. The elites are in the White House, Jack. You’re their hype man.
The party that called Obama a socialist, Biden a communist, a school lunch program Marxism, and a thermostat request collectivism — all in the same decade — is posting about other people needing a new name for their ideology every decade. The House GOP has called the same voluntary conservation tweet communist, socialist, AND Marxist this week alone. They don’t know what any of these words mean. That’s the point.
@tedcruz Ted Cruz’s state grid killed 246 people in a snowstorm. He flew to Cancún. His own grid operator makes this exact request every summer. ‘In a first-world country’ — Ted, that’s not New York you’re describing.
Before Trump’s Iran ‘excursion’: gas prices were lower. After Trump’s Iran ‘excursion’: Strait of Hormuz disrupted, oil spiked, supply chains fractured, steel prices skyrocketed. Now that prices are partially recovering from the crisis he created, Trump is calling it a promise kept. He also called the Iran military operation a ‘very successful excursion’ in the same post. Gas prices are still higher than before he started the war. The birthday cake is on fire and he’s selling you the extinguisher.
Republicans have introduced term limits bills in Congress more than a dozen times since 1994. They have never passed one — including during years they controlled the House, Senate, and White House simultaneously. When you control all three branches of government and still don’t pass your signature reform, it was never a priority. It was always a fundraising pitch. The turtle isn’t a meme. He’s the proof.
Ted Cruz’s Senate record: near-zero legislation passed, one of the worst attendance records in Congress, fled Texas during a deadly winter storm. His podcast record: multiple episodes, Apple Podcasts listing, monetized Supreme Court breakdowns. Ted Cruz has found the one job in America where you can do nothing and still get paid — and then start a side hustle explaining the job to the people you’re failing.
Florida recorded 230+ heat-related deaths in 2023 alone — more than any other state. Ron DeSantis responded to a voluntary conservation request during a New York heatwave with a collectivism joke. He has no statewide heat emergency plan. He has rejected climate adaptation funding. He banned local governments from passing heat protection ordinances for outdoor workers. The warmth of Ron DeSantis’s governance is killing people. Literally.
Brandon Gill calls a voluntary conservation request socialism. ERCOT — Texas’s own grid operator — makes the same request every summer because Texas’s grid can’t handle the heat. 246 Texans died when it couldn’t handle the cold. Brandon Gill is a Texas congressman calling grid management socialism from the state that proved what happens when you don’t manage the grid. The irony has a body count.
Mike Lee wants schools to teach about the harms of socialism. His party just abolished the Department of Education. His party has banned books in public school libraries across the country. His party cut Title I funding for low-income schools. His party is defunding the teachers who would teach this curriculum. Mike Lee wants a specific lesson taught in schools he is actively dismantling. Pick one, Mike.”
Theodore Roosevelt created the FDA, the National Park Service, the Forest Service, and the first federal antitrust enforcement. This administration gutted the FDA, sold off public lands, defunded the Forest Service, and killed antitrust enforcement for billionaire donors. DHS is quoting Roosevelt to justify targeting immigrants while dismantling every institution Roosevelt built. Teddy would not be flattered. He would be furious.
The Amish: closed communities, no outside information, children raised with no exposure to alternative viewpoints, shunning as punishment for leaving, and documented issues with sexual abuse covered up internally to protect community reputation. Catturd says they have it all figured out. He is describing a cult and calling it wisdom. The MAGA movement has the same structure. He noticed.
Ted Cruz says there’s no better place than Texas to make the case. Texas: governed by Greg Abbott, who sued for $10 million after a tree fell on him, then capped personal injury damages for everyone else. Highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world. Power grid that kills people in winter. No abortion rights. Books banned. The case Texas makes is: I got mine. The door is closed. Welcome to Dallas.
Ron DeSantis is arguing that the Supreme Court’s ruling is wrong because the Constitution mandates birthright citizenship. That is correct. The Constitution does mandate it. That is not a flaw in the ruling. That is the ruling working as intended. Ron DeSantis has a Harvard Law degree and is complaining that the Constitution says what it says. rockmom in the replies understood this better than the Harvard lawyer.
@Sargon_of_Akkad ‘If you’re born in a barn you’re a horse.’ Jesus was born in a manger. Carl Benjamin just called Jesus a horse. 18,000 likes. Mostly from people who put fish symbols on their cars. The analogy doesn’t work, Carl. It especially doesn’t work for your audience.
Tim Pool says Communists do well when ballots are counted after Election Day. The 2016 election used this system. Trump won. The 2024 election used this system. Trump won. The 2004 election used this system. Bush won. The 1984 election used this system. Reagan won. Every US election in modern history has counted ballots after Election Day. Tim Pool is describing American democracy and calling it Communism.
‘Death penalty for child rapists’ — from the congresswoman who endorsed, campaigned for, and voted with a man a civil jury found liable for sexual abuse. Nancy Mace is not against predators. She is against predators who don’t have her party’s endorsement. The principle applies selectively. It always has.
Andrew Carnegie built 2,509 public libraries. John D. Rockefeller funded universities and public health institutions. They had wealth measured in today’s equivalent of hundreds of billions. Elon Musk has $300 billion and bought a social media platform to amplify his own politics, ran a federal agency to cut programs that help poor people, and donated $288 million to elect a president. Seth Rogen has $80 million and makes movies. Matt Walsh attacked the wrong man.
This week Gunther posted: an AI-generated moving truck as proof people are fleeing California, and an AI-generated divine Washington as proof God has a plan for America. Both images are fabricated. One is presented as current events. One is presented as history. Neither is real. Gunther’s entire worldview is illustrated by images that don’t exist of events that didn’t happen.
Mitch McConnell is hospitalized for two weeks and not resigning because Kentucky’s Democratic governor would appoint his replacement. The party that spent years demanding cognitive fitness tests for Biden is propping up a hospitalized 84-year-old senator because the alternative is losing their Senate majority. Weekend at Bernie’s is not a movie reference. It is the Republican governing strategy
