The WHCD literally shouldn’t exist. The fourth estate holding a party for the public officials they’ve been tasked with holding accountable on behalf of the public? Fucking corrupt as hell.

The WHCD is the most corrupt event in Washington, every year (including when Dems are in the White House).
That says something.
Trump got one thing right: These people ARE the enemy of the people
People attending the WHCD like Jake Tapper and Jonathan Karl have made enormous sums of money off of Trump books or books slagging Democrats. He is their meal ticket.
Brendan Carr literally used his power at the FCC to get Jimmy Kimmel thrown off air. It’s the most direct assault on freedom of speech by the government in decades. He’s been invited to the press’ big DC party.
The mainstream media is in on the con. The Nazis stayed in power thanks to big business. Big media is in business with MAGA because they value power and money more than the freedom of the First Amendment.
Again, this is Blue MAGA in action: Assume that everyone bothered by Trump’s crimes just didn’t vote hard enough for Harris. This of course ignores that Trump could have won in an 84 landslide and that would not justify his continuing to break the law without consequence.
Me and a sleeping baby
Doing important godfather work tonight
and because kal is used to invading all of my personal space, he does not understand "no buddy, you can't lick the baby's face, please stop"
turns out kal's head is almost exactly the right size to be consumed by the mouth of an 8 mo old
kal and baby
forgot this important update: my godson (8 mos old) has officially met kal. (to be fair, he met him when he was about a month old but this was the first real proper dog-to-baby contact meeting)
i have had to explain to the baby and kal that they cannot eat each other (theyve both tried)
Reminder:
i used to have to cover jones every day and it messed with my perception of "when alex says crazy shit." sometimes a story would go viral and i couldnt understand it, because it was just the latest iteration of crazy crap he said all the time.
i once had to brief a new researcher at @mmfa.bsky.social on alex jones' world view and explain how he says the globalists have a secret plan to kill most of the world's population so they can upload their minds to computers and live forever, and the poor guy's eyes just bugged out
at 3 different outlets i have written for ive become the go-to guy when some dumb shit happens with alex jones.
my brand.
Looks like the Secretary of Labor is... (puts on sunglasses) out of a job.
another woman out
a bunch of Ds voted yes on her confirmation.
just vote against them all, you fucking dopes. www.senate.gov/legislative/...
make the mac great again
lol this is not shoring up anything. this speech is from the 2024 cycle where dems lost support.
this is a core blue maga belief. that somehow party leaders like pelosi, schumer, jeffries etc are doing inane things because they know the skinny and that theres a super sekret plan
there is no fucking plan. theyre just being very dumb. as dumb as it first seems.
this is a lesson i learned during the iraq war. before watching dems line up to vote for bush's war, i thought people in congress had some special insight or knowledge. no, not only are they as dumb as the rest of us, theyre mostly dumber. they have no secret insider info.
and thats just day 1
impeach trump
push for repeal of bbb
re-fund every program that trump defunded
subpoena every motherfucker
make it so those assholes can't make a single breath without 20 congressional committees investigating every atom
"what do you want them to do?"
i dunno, read their own fucking party platform?
the wild thing is most of us arent demanding insane stuff from the democrats. "just do stuff that democrats around america like" shouldn't be this hard of an ask.
this is also why people voted for dems in 2008, 2014, and 2020. stop winning elections by default and then falling down on the job when youre in office.
voters are voting this fall to fuck up the gop. they want democrats to legislatively fuck them up. they want to send a clear mandate to stop all this shitty shit and do good shit.
the answer isn't another round of milquetoast.
the sad thing is i can totally see democrats doing something this dumb.
"vote for me, you dummies" is a good way to tell people they shouldnt bother showing up.
