Is it me or did the Capital One affair not really break through On Here Another day, another scandal that would have tanked basically any other presidency

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.

Facts suck, if you're delusional and in a cult.

people love to post about how "you're not gonna like it when there's millions of unmarried aimless young men" and like Japan and Korea have been running this field experiment for years and they're mostly just playing video games and jerking off

It says something unflattering about our country that so many Americans are not concerned that the nation’s president is a money launderer who rapes both adults and children.

Just about all of the military’s stockpile of precision strike missiles are depleted, leaving America defenseless against reflecting pool vandals.

“Some Republicans are not on board with Trump’s policies,” “A GOP backlash to Trump is brewing,” “These Republican lawmakers could stand in Trump’s way.” There are media headlines like this everyday but they are always always always always bullshit.

Today, on everyone’s screen.

The president of the United States is a mentally deranged con man and a pathological liar.

Yet, it didn’t 🤬 and here we are facing fascism.

Good framing.

Kindergarten girls targeted for invasive exams by new GOP-led ballot measure

Washington State voters will decide the fate of a ballot initiative that would require girls from kindergarten through high school to undergo sex-verification testing before playing school sports — a ...

Christians should be banned from playing sports. Jesus provides them with additional strength, which gives them unfair advantage.

The Times, one of the leading voices when it comes to 'protecting women and girls' calling a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend, said he would rape the kids if he was a teacher and called for child sex abuse porn to be legal, 'brilliant'

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

Call me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media

The really stupid thing about kids' sports and the trans scare is the one I never hear anyone say: Who the hell cares who wins in kids's sports? It's a freaking game. For kids. Get a life!

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

I Remember, Hope you do….

The news story about Donald Trump being desperate for immunity for tax fraud & the news story about Donald Trump being kicked to the curb by Capital One for widespread money laundering are RELATED.

Poor Jeanine Pirro. It’s always sad when a vicious liar loses their job because they unscrupulously tried to ruin the life of an innocent American hero to appease the most repellent man in America. Drink up, sweetie.

So many parallels: Advances followed by brutal backlashes. Hatred cloaked in concern about "fairness" and "undue influence" on children. Insistence that it's a medical/mental problem. Rage at cultural institutions that "promote a lifestyle." Invective about "special rights." Malevolent statehouses.

I have been thinking a lot lately about how so many of the "arguments" against trans rights are essentially the same as the various fake panics about gay people.

Every single Democrat running for the House or the Senate should run on this. Loudly.

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

spoiler: it's because they're Americans and most American voters fucking hate the Republican Party

Opinion | Why American Jews will once again favor Democrats this fall

The vast majority of Democratic candidates in this year's midterm elections share the values and concerns of American Jews, much more than extremist Republicans aligned with Trump

It’s important to understand that when 1.2 million Americans are dying from a disease, any government action is excessive and tyrannical, but if a dozen trans women want to play soccer no government action can go far enough

Remember when we learned our POTUS withholds EMERGENCY AID to states that "didn't vote for him" and everyone was like oh well, that's just what happens now I guess?

Yup. You did. And cancer research for children was first to go.
