The media and the establishment Dems treat this guy like the grim reaper because for them, that's exactly what he is. Even normies have been trained to know that all politicians are bought and paid for and the DNC likes that because it gives them some latitude to do a little corruption, just less.
New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
This is an outstanding line and he should keep using it.
El-Sayed attacked Rogers as a Trump stooge and accused Republicans of trying to use his faith and full name - Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed - to scare voters. "My name is not the reason you can't afford your groceries," he said. "You know what is? Their BS policies." www.reuters.com/world/us/pro...
My dude, we don't need to know your "heart and mind," we just have to look at your prior actions. You've already turned CBS News into a ham-handed partisan laughingstock in land speed-record time, so we have an excellent idea what you will do with CNN.
"Unfortunately, I can't give anyone a view into my heart and mind." Why? Are you unfamiliar with them? Ellison's whole "I'm not allowed to express my specific political opinions here, but trust me" approach is transparent nonsense. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/o...

One might say There Will Be Blood in the latest episode of Strange New Worlds. Listen to the full episode of #GreatestTrek at gagh.biz/greatesttrek #startrek #strangenewworlds #friendsofdesoto
zero sympathy for anyone involved but it is so typical that his anger is that she didn’t lie *enough*
“.. The president is ‘furious’ with Pirro, one of the sources said, telling CNN that he fumed about her all weekend.” @cnn.com www.cnn.com/2026/08/03/p...
Just told my 10 yr old daughter about Jeanine Pirro. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Franziakanda Forever"—which is the kind of pop culture crossover event I can celebrate.
Opinion: Mamdanis idea may sound appealing, but it’s taxpayers who will take the hit for all the fires put out on other people’s houses, subsidizing fire departments they will never use
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
This is Brady. He gets excited to wake up his bunny every morning. Promised he would be a responsible pet owner, and we think he's doing an excellent job. 13/10 (IG: goodboyscann)

Anyway if this place starts drifting Twitterly, I will go back to LinkedIn
There are too many people in our world there are, purposefully, antagonistic for no reason other than they like treating other people like shit and honestly if you're like that you're gonna get your shit wrecked one day by the right person at the wrong time.
Holy shit literally this morning I was randomly thinking about what a penis Jonah Hill was and that his Superbad character was him not acting at all and then this lol
He will never understand that being "the fat guy from Superbad" is infinitely better than being "the martial arts chud nobody likes"
