  1. People who do this are overwhelmingly Republican, and vibes were REALLY bad in that side of the world for the past few weeks. Nothing has really changed, other than humans tend to find ways to rationalize away bad news when exposed to it for long enough.
  2. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of people so proud of a “gotcha” question that impacts literally no one.
  3. Wes Moore gonna have a 2004 Obama “wait, who the hell is this guy” moment tonight.
  4. I do think you might be on to something here. Too many people (by Bibi’s design) view Israel and Bibi as one in the same. If the US can deftly communicate a “we are trying to help Israel, but one man is standing in the way” then that could greatly shift the narrative, both here and abroad, positively towards resolution.
  5. The case could be made that Trump is now unequivocally a national and global security threat and the SCOTUS has already written that Biden would be well within his legal rights to take care of threats...
  6. Joey is an extremely obvious troll that has realized he gets engagement by acting like a douche. The bigger issue is the fact that there was a legitimate audience for that shit.
  7. There’s a lot of words in that post, but these are the only ones that matter. Roughly half the country has been brainwashed to believe this is a superhero battle and the other side must be vanquished. Note the subtle differences in how Fox and CNN or MSNBC describe the “other” team. CNN and MSNBC will bash Republicans, sure, but it’s almost always pointed at politicians or people in power. Fox will always use generic terms like “liberals” or “the left.” Their goal is to make it “us vs them” and it fucking works. It’s why the claims about appealing to most of them are so laughable. None of this is policy-related. The sheep are told WHO to hate and then they adopt whatever policy positions make that happen.
  8. Aaaaaannnd CNN's first comments after that speech are about how Biden talked about his legacy more than promoting Kamala. Easiest decision ever to turn that shit off and go to bed.
  9. If this Biden showed up at the debate, it would have been a very different summer. I'm very glad his legacy won't have to find out what would have happened.
  10. "He doesn't want his boss's job, therefore he probably isn't good at the one he has" is an insanely dangerous thought for any leader to entertain. I'd argue that confusing ambition with talent is a pretty consistent theme with organizations in decline.
  11. No idea if it will translate, but it's obvious Sark thinks we are gonna be really good.
  12. Here's the rub: stealing headlines from the DNC is one of the least strategic, most counterproductive actions this group could take if the goal is truly to help the Palestinian people. If the goal is to go viral on tiktok, well then this makes sense.
  13. She’s JD Vance with a vagina (and same amount of eyeliner).
  14. I wonder when Republicans will remember that he’s not the person running for president. It’s like they’re completely ignoring Kamala to try and tear down this dude.
  15. He definitely understands and knows that there will never be two VP debates. He's just trying to score cheap points when the second one doesn't happen.
  16. Might be the most I’ve ever seen a player single-handedly manufacture a run.
  17. The MAGA era is gonna come to an end because some weird dude couldn't stop going on podcasts 5 years ago. Unreal.
  18. Anecdotal, but I know numerous liberals from Texas/the South that have moved to NC in recent years. Seems almost like an East Coast Colorado in that it's a logical migration spot for folks looking to move away from red states.
  19. This will be popular with all the boomers on Facebook and literally nobody else.
