Canada turning red is the geopolitical version of your golden retriever biting you.
“Winning is the worst thing that could happen to the left” is a genre of commentary that you can expect to get more and more popular now that the “These wackos will never win” genre has lost its plausibility.

The dumbest people are driving the national conversation
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3d agoWELKER: You're saying you would not support sending aid to Israel, which was attacked by Hamas, but you've also said you would support sending aid to Ukraine which was attacked by Russia EL-SAYED: It's about conditions. I believe we have a responsibility to uphold int'l law and to support Ukraine
Susan Collins announcing she'll vote against a controversial nominee is basically the moment it becomes clear that nominee will be confirmed. It means Thune has enough votes to confirm, and thus, Collins gets a pass to look independent.
Oh Noah Smith. Is there anything worse than Twitter brained "policy-first" pundits who have completely flipped to just whining about how people don't like their punditry so they have to vote for fascists?
He's the president's personal lawyer. Like, what are we even doing here playing these dumb "will he keep a promise or not" games. HES THE PRESIDENT'S PERSONAL LAWYER. He shouldn't have been able to be in government at all.
Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · last wk.The nomination of Todd Blanche seems to be back on as Republican holdouts pretend that any deal Blanche offers them will be honored by Trump. Here is why Blanche as AG is bad for American democracy. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/democracie...
Even the lame ass media isnt buying this shit anymore.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · last wk.U.S. President Donald Trump has played this hand before during the Iran war. It starts with a grim warning of big strikes, and ends with a last-minute pledge to give diplomacy more time. This weekend was the latest example of a tactic that critics say has worn thin.
I feel nothing for these people. Boo hoo. You made a "deal" with Trump and got what you deserved. I hope everyone who makes a deal gets the same treatment.
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · last wk.Trump “came up with a completely false quote saying I acknowledged things I never said. “My god." — Brad Karp, then the chairman of the law firm 2/2
It is so so so funny that Republicans have made this guy the face of "Communism" and "Socialism" and the "extremism taking over the Democrat party". Couldn't ask for a better figurehead.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 2w agoNow this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind. We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins. It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.
Brutalism, but make it beautiful. ❤️ Nami Island, South Korea.
At first I thought she meant that Fauci told Stephen Miller he should divorce his wife Katie Miller but apparently Fauci just told Stephen to isolate so that he wouldn’t give her covid while she was pregnant.
Hold on now. Let's not blame the factory when deregulation is clearly the problem.
Nathan Daniel Hernandez@natedhernandez.bsky.social · 2w agoGotta shut down the factory that makes this kinda guy
If Biden had thrown Trump in the slammer we wouldn't be here. You can piss and moan all you want but J6 was history books shit and history books shit requires the President to do President shit. And he didn't. And now the guy who saved millions has to eat shit from a penis like Ron Johnson
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2w agoRon Johnson claims the the "injection injured" are committing mass suicide
The longer I live the more I understand that this is all just a game to these people. Only us plebs believe in this shit.
Rachel Bitecofer@rachelbitecofer.bsky.social · 3w agoImagine shaking hands with the man you exposed as a pedophile. It’s time to kill off the president’s role in this awards ceremony. Trump grins and throws up his hands repeatedly as the Wall Street Journal receives an award for their coverage of Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein
Listen, if Newsom is the nominee I just wont vote. Do with that what you will.
Brendan Cantwell@cantb.bsky.social · 3w agoThis morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
Why would you believe this after everything that has happened?
FinTwitter@fintwitter.bsky.social · last mo.DANISH FOREIGN MINISTER: WE STILL BELIEVE OUR WORKING GROUP WITH GREENLAND, DENMARK AND THE US CAN DELIVER A RESULT THAT WILL SATISFY ALL PARTIES
Spain needs to win the world cup.
Olga Nesterova@onestpress.onestnetwork.com · last mo.Trump next to Rutte: "Spain is a wasted cause. We don't want to do any trade business with Spain anymore by the way... Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don't participate, they don't pay. I don't want anything to do with Spain."
Starting my Scotland trip strong by landing after 40 hours to the news that the airline lost my bag.
For all the chirping that anti-Trump centrists do on social media, can they explain to me why their fave politicians are rubber-stamping Trump's broad and ever-expanding executive powers?
Jokes go real well when you back into them. Soft launch the joke first, then, once everyone already knows the punch line, let them know it's not really a joke but it is really a joke. Please laugh.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.JD Vance attempts to tell a joke at Biden's expense to the troops -- and gets absolutely zero reaction 😬
