GOOD OL SONG OF WAHOOWA WE'LL SIIING IT O'ER AND O'ER

What a deep, tremendous shame. I don’t think opponents of Trump need to self flagellate over his monstrous actions but we do need to acknowledge what was done in the name of our country, and that it will make it less and less likely anyone ever lifts a finger to help us again.

"there are tons of untapped voters who already agree with me and are just waiting to hear the right words, so all I have to do is show up" is an Obama-era relic that is both not how Mamdani won and the lesson a lot of people seem to have taken from his win

when I was a kid the "no sleepover" kids were weird!! that was a weird thing!!!

now people are like "what if that parent is a child molester" how many child molesters do you think you know???

reading 50 Shades of Grey: damn I wish there was a sans-BDSM version of this with teenage mormon vampires

Tbh I had a lot of low-key resentment towards this race bc I had already moved back to VA by the general, and I was sick of people acting like Mamdani beating Cuomo was more important than us beating Rs here. Shit was on the line in VA but you were not supposed to act like anyone else mattered

Having lived in NYC, this attitude is very common because this is functionally true there. Especially in his neighborhoods.

But Mamdani supposedly wants to be a national-level politician, which means he needs to realize that the DSA is miniscule out of New York and Republicans are very real.

So are we really running into the Human Pet Guy in the wild to this very day, or are we running into imposters wearing his skin? discuss

Tbh that was my thought. If this was someone dealing with alcoholism and they freaked out because their best friend had a bottle of liquor hidden away IN THEIR OWN HOME, it would be understood that this person is handling recovery exceptionally poorly

"no one actually believes that dogs should be considered equivalent to human children" ohohoho au contraire, I have some family members you should meet

She claims to, at least

Ok but isn't that Jupiter? She is not exactly the best adjusted person who ever lived and a massive edgelord

crazy how many people seem to think child support is a punishment for divorce and not like...support for their child

I highly recommend Seductive Poison by Deborah Layton. She really goes into how the Peoples Temple was every bit a political cult as it was a religious one, and how the people were brainwashed and abused leading to the massacre.

If Jonestown had never been founded, Jim Jones would have had a narrative arc much like Cesar Chavez where the rape and cultism would not have come out until years after his death.

The fact that Jim Jones was first known as a civil rights leader in California is left out of the narrative. It is easier to mock people for being religious nuts than grapple with the idea that they were oppressed and looking for help, and someone who claimed the right ideals took advantage of them

Before he took his followers to Guyana, Jim Jones was widely known as a *Civil Rights* icon in California with connections in California left-wing politics. He preyed heavily on older, poor, and Black people. He starved and gaslit his followers in the weeks leading up to the massacre.

The only person I have allowed to use it without judgement is Talarico, and that's because he is running in fucking Texas and can't tell the right to fuck themselves

Of course not, but it's pretty obvious why Hochul is making Mamdani the face of her ideas

I disagree with Stancil a lot but I never consider him anything more than mildly annoying. It's not hard!

The pied-a-terre tax is a good way to raise money in NYC, don't get me wrong, but "extra tax on second homes worth over $5m" sounds like the sort of overly-specific-and-narrow thing leftists would mock liberals for proposing

I mean, there have already been multiple attempts to get a younger version of her in congress...

I'm not sure AOC can depend on these people's support once she turns 40, and that milestone is creeping ever closer

Are you guys bonkers? We are not "sweeping aside" everyone over the age of *45*

Plot twist: Platner was his coke dealer too

Genuine question. Would this not deincentivize renting to small businesses?

I have zero doubt that the MAGA Catholics I know are going to choose Trump over the Pope

Ok but America also made two robots in space, yearning

He absolutely does lol
