"Obama made us racists" has got to be in the top 5 of dumbest things racist white Americans say on the internet.

This perfectly describes all of modern conservativism. They don't have any actual agenda other than being as big of an asshole as they can be.

Really disturbing how comfortable he is fabricating information out of thin air

The peril of labeling direct government spending “wasteful” at face value is that cutting a $15 million annual screwworm monitoring program will now cost $1 billion to address in its absence.

It means you live in an aurhoritarian political climate with a mob boss style leader.

The funniest part about the world rallying behind Zoran Mamdani is that he’s literally just doing his job, but by doing so shows us that every other politician is just lining their pockets & leaving us to rot 😭

I know comparing modern society to Idiocracy is really played out but man

I cannot emphasize how stupid you must be to willfully believe there is a "non political" side of money including taxes, healthcare, housing, childcare, water rights, energy costs, the CFPB, school lunches, interest rates, tariffs, mortgage interest deductions, and medical debt

Commercial advertising, product placements, and corporate-sponsored promotions are explicitly prohibited on national parklands. The White House lawn is a unit of the National Park System. It also violates standard Anti-Vending and Solicitation Laws as well as misuse of public funds and government endorsement ethics. Everything this administration does spits in the face of our laws. Everything is a grift.

Parking lots are sized based on the busiest day of the year, yet transit, pedestrian, and bike infrastructure are not afforded the same right.

a critical moment for us media. this is exactly what happened in turkey with erdogans initial rise to power. regime loyalists bought up all the private media outlets.

Trump is graded on such a big curve. I’ve never seen anything like it. Dude is incoherent, racist, has numerous visible health problems including being so old that he falls asleep on camera all the time, and started a war that has made everything worse for everyone. And yet.

Scott Pelley issues new statement after being fired by CBS for opposing their pro-MAGA bias:

“New management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified. To date, in every case, I have managed to ignore these instructions or refuse them.

Recently, politicians have been invited to choose correspondents for interviews on the broadcast. Giving politicians control over 60 Minutes interviews is not how this is done.

Finally, incompetence and unprofessionalism in the new management have wreaked havoc. In a case involving one of my stories, the entire program came within 19 minutes of not getting on the air at all.”

If we are going to call the cost of public services a “loss,” then Canadian police forces lost $20 billion last year while delivering no birthday presents and also killing a lot of people.

Whoever the next Democratic president is, they better not start talking about forgiveness and pardons to unify the country. This country will unify behind prosecutions and prison sentences. We're still fighting because the Confederacy was never properly punished. End the cycle.
