Decision Desk: Thomas Chork (D) defeats Pat Scurly (R) in shocking upset. Me (never heard of either of those guys): holy shit Chork won

This is the official GOP cope thread, add to it at your leisure, we're gonna be smokin pack all week.

Bolsonaro gonna have to flee the country he fled to.

As someone who has suffered through 3-4 Lawler attack ads every single commercial break for two months, I am taking this as a personal win.

Republican Rep. Mike Lawler concedes to Democrat Cait Conley in New York's 17th District. Some, including one unnamed House Democrat, said Lawler was unbeatable. They were wrong.

Kids these days haven’t been raised on a steady diet of Ernest movies and it shows

Jezebel’s new owner is reportedly deleting old blogs that aren’t “brand safe,” which means that this very timely investigation I did into a sketchy reality TV producer pushing a rape lawsuit against Trump is seemingly just gone. When I click the link it just goes to their homepage

The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere decade ago, we had a presidential election in which effectively the only issue on the table was the security of IT & communications at the highest level of government. I’m sure the next 2 weeks will reflect this same level of urgency & concern 🤔

Believing that your therapist finds your life and problems interesting is the mental health equivalent of "I think this stripper really likes me"

Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

The president’s proposal to enclose a park in Washington could alter how the space has been used for generations.

A Haitian man legally immigrated to Ohio, then was given an ankle monitor bc Trump withdrew his status. He threw himself in front of truck. The trucker, who voted for Trump, is haunted. “Pierre was doing what he was supposed to do. We did not do right by him.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I enjoy Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion because it has the cheek to ask us to pretend that Mira Sorvino wasn't basically the hottest thing on two legs at the time

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

Would 20 y/o you be impressed or disappointed by you today?

no crazier than saying you're gonna "solve self-driving" by the end of the year for a decade while your half-baked product kills at least 60 people and ending up the richest man alive

“Anthropic and OpenAI are telling you that their models are very dangerous, I think we should believe them. It certainly is some crazy 4D chess to say there's a 10% chance of annihilating humanity, but by the way, how much allocation would you like in our IPO?” - Elon Musk ~~ Sounds like greed. 🤑

For the past two years I've been tracking every bill proposed in state legislatures across the country to figure out what Republican plans for the future are. The answer, based on these 1,182 bills, is that they want to repeal the 20th Century heartlandsignal.com/2026/09/09/b...

apparently there is a Korean webtoon titled "Somebody Stop The Pope!" and i think that's great

Just got outta the TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY 35th anniversary rerelease and Jesus Christ, man. What a movie. They had to do all that shit for real. They had to fly that helicopter under an overpass. They had to blow up that building. They had to find an actor who could turn into liquid metal.
