Rot moved into the house and never left. Excuse was buried under the floor. The rest went blind. The broken one stayed, and looks for the ones who can’t.
A rule that bends for friends was never a rule. It was a favor with good manners. Those of us who grew up outside the circle learned to read the rule, not the room. Same rule for every side, my own side first. Show me the source and I'll stand corrected.
The original post was “Democrats like SNIZZ!” followed by “loser fuck.”
That was the entire response to a prediction about the Senate. The forecast was wrong on the Senate. The reply was the meme and the name-calling. Pointing to one of his past moments on camera doesn’t change what was offered here. One of those is an argument. The other is the noise that got offered in place of one.
@SaRa40036@RealGraceBella The insult is the entire reply. “She is a dumbass blond bitch” is offered as the fact.
Charlie built the organization. Erika is the one still speaking for it in public. One imperfect event doesn’t change that record. The insult is what remains when that record is skipped.

Calling that the intellectual high point of someone else’s argument is the projection. That line was the entire response to a prediction about the Senate. The forecast was wrong on the Senate. The reply was the meme and the name-calling. One of those is an argument. The other is the noise that got offered in place of one.
@hasanthehun The funniest part isn't the fake CNN projection. It's a millionaire socialist celebrating an imaginary Senate victory while directing everyone to his privately monetized Twitch stream and merchandise store.
The revolution has a checkout button.
@Hoodoo33@DiligentDenizen The roommate provided the texts. They were entered as evidence. “People in their 20s wouldn’t say that” is not a counter to the actual messages or the DNA on the towel and screwdriver. Point to the filing that proves they’re fabricated.
I’m fine being called a fool. The texts are in the court record. The roommate asked if he was the shooter and he replied “I am, I’m sorry.” The rifle was recovered at the drop point he described in those same messages, with DNA consistent with him on the towel it was wrapped in and on the screwdriver left on the rooftop.
Which of those specific pieces is false, and which document shows it? “You’re a fool” isn’t an answer.
Republicans got destroyed because a bunch of voters sat out. That’s the result. Whether it was the war, the economy, or anything else, the people who wanted the party punished handed Democrats Congress. The other side gets two years of committees. The people who stayed home get to watch. Calling it a proportionate near-extinction event doesn’t change what actually happened. The base is still here. The reasons they sat out are still here. And the people who treated the defeat as the goal still have to live with what they got.
Levin calls out the nasty, petulant, dishonest, vile stuff on here. Morgan checks every box and calls it self-awareness. That’s the discourse. A bunch of voters sat out to punish the GOP and handed Democrats Congress. The other side gets two years of committees. The people who stayed home get to watch. And the people arguing about who’s more toxic still don’t change what actually decided the result. The base is still here. The reasons they sat out are still here. The score-settling just keeps going.
They spent the campaign promising free healthcare and cheap gas. First move after taking Congress is “lawyer up.” That’s the priority. A bunch of voters sat out to punish the GOP and handed them the committees. Now the other side gets two years of investigations instead of the things they said mattered. The people who stayed home get to watch. The promises stay promises. The subpoenas start immediately.
The midterms were bad and the economy is part of why. Trump talking about the ballroom right after doesn’t help. But a bunch of voters still sat out to punish the GOP and handed Democrats Congress. The other side gets two years of committees. The people who stayed home get to watch. Tone-deaf optics make it worse, but they don’t change what actually decided the result.
Iran’s next supreme leader looks at Democrats taking Congress and calls it the acceleration of America’s collapse. That’s not subtle. A bunch of voters sat out to punish the GOP and handed the other side full control. The people who stayed home get to watch while adversaries treat the result as good news for them. The base is still here. The reasons they sat out are still here. And the people cheering the outcome from outside the country still don’t get a permanent win. They just get to gloat while everything keeps going.
28 people have come forward after one sting. That’s not a one-off. That’s a pattern that was ignored for years while the people running the system treated the reports as a nuisance. The same institutions that spent years dismissing these cases are the ones now acting surprised when the numbers keep climbing. If the priority had been the victims instead of protecting the narrative, this wouldn’t still be happening. The ones who actually went and confronted it are the ones getting results. The ones who looked the other way are still explaining why it was complicated.
So a Muslim Brotherhood guy celebrating a Senate win and telling Muslims to work from within on behalf of Islam is a problem. Now do the same thing for everyone else. When Christian groups push candidates and laws that match their priorities, is that also working from within on behalf of Christianity? When Jewish organizations fund and lobby for policies they say serve Jewish interests, is that the same thing? Or does the warning only apply when it’s Muslims? If the issue is any group treating office as a vehicle for its own priorities, the standard has to be consistent. If it only gets raised for one group, it’s not about the method. It’s about the group. Which is it?
A poll watcher says machines were left unsecured and ballots weren’t sealed, then got told to leave. Officials dispute it and say there’s no verified evidence anything was stolen. That’s the whole problem. Public confidence doesn’t come from “trust us, everything’s fine.” It comes from being able to show the rules were followed when someone raises a specific concern. When the response is to dismiss the watcher and move on, people who already sat out the midterms just get another reason to think the process doesn’t care what they see. The other side still walked into Congress either way. The questions about what happened inside the polling location don’t go away just because the result is called.
You spent months saying she shouldn’t have been running it at all. Now you’re mad she wasn’t sitting on the panel while a bunch of guys talked. So which is it? Was she never supposed to be in charge, or is her not being in the room suddenly a gotcha? You don’t get to run both. The organization is still here. The midterms still handed Congress to the other side. And the same people who wanted her gone are now acting like her absence proves something. It only works if you ignore what you were saying last month.
People cheering “MAGA is dead” aren’t talking about the midterms. They’re talking about wanting their opponents gone. Deported, locked up, broken, silenced. That’s what they’re actually celebrating. A bunch of voters sat out to punish the GOP and handed Democrats Congress. The other side gets two years of committees. The people who stayed home get to watch. The base is still here. The reasons they sat out are still here. And the people who want them erased still don’t get what they want. They just get to gloat while everything keeps going.
People cheering “MAGA is dead” aren’t celebrating an election result. They’re celebrating the idea of their opponents gone...deported, locked up, broken, silenced. That’s the actual wish. A bunch of voters sat out to punish the GOP and handed Democrats Congress. The other side gets two years of committees. The people who stayed home get to watch. The base is still here. The reasons they sat out are still here. And the people who want them gone still don’t get what they actually want. They just get to gloat while everything keeps going.
Yeah the idea that fixing the Israel relationship magically solves the other three doesn’t really track. Ending whatever war people are talking about is its own decision. Those conflicts aren’t just on or off based on one alliance. Cost of living is mostly what we’re doing at home...spending, energy, regulations, money supply. Foreign aid is a tiny slice of the budget. Cutting one relationship doesn’t drop grocery prices or rent. And “America First” is just deciding what actually gets priority. Border, trade, spending, whatever. Those levers exist whether or not anyone changes a single foreign relationship. People can want less involvement and tighter focus on costs. That’s fair. But treating one issue as the thing that unlocks all the others is just flattening a bunch of separate problems into one explanation.
