brb, just gonna look up the career stats for hall of famers ryan leaf and jamarcus russell

the biggest upset of the 2018 elections was when Oklahoma City elected a democrat to congress despite being one of the reddest states in the nation

the GOP responded by cracking OKC into 3 different districts & packing the minority populations of both OKC *and* Tulsa into the same rural district

back to the way the Republican gerrymander cracked OKC & Tulsa; take a gander at these maps & observe how the GOP carved out each city's largest minority population—Hispanic south OKC & African-American north Tulsa—to make sure those minority populations would never be able to build a power base

former Congressman Steve Russell who never stops talking about how he single-handedly captured Saddam Hussein

speaking of the Dem pulling off a huge upset in OKC in 2018, it's very funny that this guy got himself elected as a Republican Congressman by crowing, "i'm the army officer who brought in Saddam Hussein!" but then managed to lose an election in hyper-conservative Oklahoma by not campaigning at all

similarly, after Oklahoma City surprisingly elected a Dem in 2018 the GOP cracked OKC into 3 separate Congressional districts

look at District 3 (in green)! they carved out the Hispanic part of south OKC *and* the Black portion of NW Tulsa and dumped them both in the giant rural republican district

michael dukakis in the tank looks like john wayne compared to these guys

the executive order making pronouns in emails mandatory will weed out the rest

how convenient for the next dem AG that bezos has served them on a silver platter an excuse to nail his ass to the wall

wint @dril 2 Jun 2014 the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: "theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you fucking moron"

you want to talk about an unfair aspect of modern american politics? let's talk about the 147 republicans in congress who joined the effort to steal the 2020 election but were allowed to keep their seats instead of being disqualified & removed from office as the 14th Amendment demands

if i were the Antonin Scalia Professor of Law i would quit and find a new, non-humiliating profession

Schtolteheim Reinbach III

the iron law of "elected dems are less responsible for their actions than random leftist shitpoasters"

hey remember that time when trump converted to islam on easter

a hopeful reminder that the spectrum of political possibilities is as wide open as they've ever been & that—if we elect a bold new class of dem leadership who will press their advantage—we could forge a political coalition that will annihilate the maga movement

the median voter does not trouble themselves to go the polls for an anodyne centrist. you must speak to the soul in order to electrify them

There are tens of millions of people who are outraged by the Trump admin and ready to be politically activated and mobilized. Rather than playing to this population, Dems are punching left to chase a few thousand centrists they imagine will only turn on Trump if Dems are a little more racist.

continues to be shocking to me that gillibrand went on a hysterically bigoted rant against mamdani last year and it barely got any attention

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

Tim Curry is so good that i once watched the objectively terrible Bailey's Billions solely on account of the fact that he and Jennifer Tilly were clearly having a ton of fun being the campy villains

chuck schumer lining up behind another candidate who is detested even by the sort of die-hards dem voters who go to democratic party conventions

"hello, your friendly congressional dem here. this text is to let you know that you are personally responsible for trump abducting friendly local abuelas because you wouldn't vote for a candidate that reflexively supported a genocidal government"

Like... I'm sorry, but to win future elections, you need a good chunk of the people who sat out in 2016 or 2024 to vote for you, and I just don't think that sneering at them and saying it's their fault that things are the way they are right now is going to win them over, even if you truly believe it

couldn't be clear that the most powerful elected dems believe their job is to discipline their voters, not to try to appeal to them in order to win their votes

a screenshot of the original NES ninja gaiden featuring a CIA agent in a brightly lit wallpapered room. he says: "We didn't kill him. But we'll fill you in on what we know."

love the part of ninja gaiden 1 where ryu hayabusa has a tense meeting with a CIA agent in a church basement

One time my kid left a little handmade booklet under her bed and it was called "bad thoughts" (spelled incorrectly) and the only thing written inside was the word "FUC"

damn, twenty straight years with the penguins

that first pic is STERN

i'm guessing he correctly understands that his position on the court is almost entirely attributable to the conservative movement spitefully replacing thurgood marshall with the worst available black man & has been stewing in resentment over it for decades

gonna pick up a copy of Lawrence of Arabia on UMD so i can brag about the superior visual universe of the Playstation Portable
