I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.

“Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses, because somewhere down the road of history, some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.”

If it was me, I’d be questioning for the rest of my life if it was really necessary and if I really did the right thing. I damn sure wouldn’t become a bunch of politicians’ Very Special Boy and brag about it/threaten to do it again.

I’ve said this over and over again.

Even assuming Rittenhouse’s self-defense claim was legit, he’s still a monster.

Someone who kills in self-defense need not feel bad about it, but nobody who kills for any reason should feel GOOD about it the way Rittenhouse seems to.

Assuming that is in fact what he’s announcing today:

I like Walz, but there are other good potential candidates and it’s early enough for them to step forward.

The timing is bad, though. The fraud “scandal” is based on lies and Walz should fight back. Backing down hurts the next candidate too.

They say imitation crab is the sincerest form of crab

Having the fresh stuff isn’t an excuse either. The right way to have a kitchen is to always have fresh onions and garlic as well as onion powder and garlic powder in the house.

DnD is a roleplaying game that lets me live out all my greatest fantasies, such as:

- Being able to help people,

That way lies madness. True peace comes only through radical sandwich anarchy.

The chart doesn’t go far enough. Elote and loaded baked potatoes are both open-faced sandwiches.

A sandwich is any starchy ingredient, topped or filled with any combination of one or more flavorful ingredients.

January 6 wasn’t crashing out, but demanding adherence to the Constitution means you don’t love the country governed by the Constitution.

There’s stupidity, and then there’s whatever the fuck this is.

I’d go by Stevie too

The charitable read is that this is a (very) subtle dig at Kamala following the revelation that she wanted him as VP but (gasp) we can’t have a Black woman AND a gay man

That said - and I’m predisposed to like Pete - he’s either wrong or he’s making the future of the Dems all about himself

The way Trump and MTG talk about each other is hilarious because, like, they’re both right about each other. And I’m not used to either of them being right about anything

Dersh was allegedly a good lawyer at one point in his career.

Based on that alone, he should know that there are arguments you don’t make even if they are technically correct, because if you rely on them you’re already losing and also just a terrible person.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

“Moderate” mostly isn’t a set of beliefs; it’s an approach to politics that favors compromise and civility.

There’s a time and a place for that, but anyone who thinks now is the time and D.C is the place doesn’t have any underlying beliefs they’re willing to fight for. Or their beliefs are bad.

I’ve BEEN saying this.

If we ever have power again, the number 1 thing we have to do with it is fight fascism. That means prosecuting those who break or have broken the law, and passing new laws to shore up democracy. I don’t care if you’re left or center as long as you believe that.

A two-page spread from “Oh the Thinks You Can Think” by Dr. Seuss. The page reads, “And why is it so many things go to the Right? You can think about THAT until Saturday night.”

Reading to my two-year-old son the night Senate Democrats caved

How dare you make me think about Rahm Emanuel in the year of our lord 2025

Me reading this:

What?

Ohhh you mean Abughazaleh, not Karl-Anthony Towns

Oooh this is better than mine.

Mine is that the 13th amendment’s allowing enslavement as punishment for a crime creates a “previous condition of servitude,” making felon disenfranchisement unconstitutional under the 15th amendment.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

10 million wouldn’t be enough to get me to leave an election and endorse Cuomo either.

Trump declares that Republicans have lost the shutdown. Absolutely zero reason for Dems to cave at this point

How dare you post an unsolicited Dick pic on Bluesky?

There could be children here.

The original leopards eating faces party meme from twitter (written by Adrian Bott on Oct 16, 2015): 'I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.

“They are getting crazier and more extreme”

No, they’ve always been like this. It was never a good-faith discussion about niche issues faced by like ten people at high levels of competitive sports. It was always about denying basic rights to a segment of the population.

Kamala did it for a minute.

Then they stopped acting like the cool fighters and started acting like every other cookie cutter, focus group texted, content-free Dem campaign.

Yeah no, you do this with a real good hot dog - or better yet, a nice Polish sausage - just something a little bit greasy with a nice char on the outside and it absolutely slaps.

Yeah there’s other things to do with a hotdog, but not every recipe needs to be a culinary masterpiece.
