Maker of Synthwave. Enigma fan for life. Unapologetic exiler of MAGA friends and family. I dream nightly of Thailand.

Jon Stewart got this right. If you really are a Democrat, and you truly believe in Democratic values, and your goal is to help American citizens, and the DSA shares many of those same goals with you, you wouldn’t abandon the party over Israel. Israel is not America. @fetterman.senate.gov

Trump has dementia. Today, he forgot the word “video” and instead described it as “moving pictures.” That’s what happens. I saw it with my father. Forgetting words and instead using awkward descriptions in their place. Watches being called wrist clocks etc. Trump absolutely had dementia.

If leftists had redirected their anti-establishment energy towards changing the party from within—the way MAGA did with the GOP—they’d already probably have much of what they wanted. Instead, they use their vote as a threat and never get anything for it. Makes no sense.

Ah yes. The mythical “political pressure” argument. As if that ever crosses party lines to beat a filibuster. My leftist ex-friend used this to counter why Obama couldn’t give everybody free healthcare and tuition. The realities of the legislative process frustrate people.

Political pressure, for instance. Right now there's no pressure on the GOP to do anything to impeach him, and no cost to them if they don't. In fact, they are more likely to get pushback from MAGA then Dems, which does not help Dems chances of taking the House.

It’s really hard not to create a Truth Social account just to infiltrate the MAGA hive, masquerading as a MAGAt slowly waking up and becoming liberal. We use to do shit like that in the 90s on an old forum. You’d get them all fighting with each other while you sit back and enjoy your work.

You can always tell the IQ of an individual by the number of issues motivating his vote. Single issue voters are dumber than two-issue voters etc. Your vote should be a matrix of weighted values. So whether it’s only abortion or AIPAC, you know what you need to know about that simpleton.

I do get some satisfaction from this knowing that that c*** Cheryl Hines has lost all her friends and will never get another acting job. She’s stuck forever with a steroid freak who sounds like a dog trying to vomit and pathologically cheats.

HHS Secretary and Nepo Snowflake RFK Jr. had a public meltdown, temper tantrum and crash out on CNN - "There was absolute press malpractice. You are attacking me. You are saying nonsense."

She’s going to get her pardon. Trump has already decided this. It will be as he’s walking out the door. This is why he’s stealing everything not nailed down. He knows that moment will be the complete end of his grift.

We are at the stage that Congress has to write a sternly worded letter asking the president not to pardon a sex offender. Senate GOP unanimously abandons Trump after he opens door to Ghislaine Maxwell pardon www.rawstory.com/trump-maxwel...

Hey, Patrick. This happened because you didn’t vote. Because you pretended Democrats and Republicans were the same—an excuse to justify why you wouldn’t get your lazy ass up off your coach.

This makes me happy. I want us all to hurt. I want it to be painfully clear that Republicans fucked up everyone’s lives and ruined the futures. I don’t want there to be even one independent anymore. Fuck all of us for voting in this shit. apnews.com/article/groc...
