Right wingers will tell you that Democrats supported slavery and founded the KKK and that Republicans are who abolished slavery but when you say we need to take down Confederate monuments they start foaming at the mouth and talking about their heritage being disrespected

Great piece that reiterates something everyone who is not a weird bay area freak or sucked into the AI hype cycle understands implicitly. There's no magic left, these people have barren imaginations.

My perception of time during the covid years is so warped. It seemed like it lasted forever at the time but in my memory the years just blew by really fast, like my brain is like "there's really nothing to see here, moving on"

My mom made a group chat on fb messenger that has her, my dad, and my siblings. I counted 5 names and tried to figure out who was missing. The 6th person is me. I'm a dumbass.

"genocide is wrong and bad, don't do it" and they are saying he doesn't speak for them as a Catholic

In Trump-speak, criticizing his attack on Iran (directly or indirectly) means you are saying Iran can or should have a nuclear weapon. Obviously a lie but he's actually been pretty consistent about it

I think that was Singapore if we're thinking of the same thing

He was doing disrespectful shit in Japan, and the Japanese are polite so they were like "please just pay a fine and leave and don't come back." The Koreans were like "no no no we will beat your ass for this, it's not sweet here"

Not just prison but he publicly got his ass beat a couple times *and* has to register as a sex offender *and* that will follow him to the US. All that and he sounds like he still hasn't learned any lesson

I honestly wasn't aware people who weren't chronically online knew about the stupid shit he was doing but people, including normies, across the political spectrum are celebrating his downfall

Dave Chappelle is a smart man and there is no way he didn't know he was one of the biggest drivers of the zeitgeist for the last decade. Now he wants to do a Rogan-like evasion of responsibility for it. A little late for that my friend

I texted mine "enjoy your rest you fucking freeloader" yesterday (he is in college and lives with me but keeps "forgetting" to do basic chores or paying attention to our dog)

That's how it's gonna feel for us when it finally happens

Yeah Iran was never *quite* a dictatorship but maybe it is now

You can't say Trump accomplished nothing in Iran because "nothing" is an improvement over what he did.

It's actually pretty difficult to recount all the different ways Trump fucked up his Iran adventure because there are so many multiple, separate, overlapping fuckups, and because of how thorough the failure is.

Learn to sit back and observe

Oman receiving revenue for doing nothing

Taibbi used to be but the 2016 election broke him

The driver is also blindfolded and a toddler

Being an American right now is like being stuck in the passenger seat of a car being driven by a drunk driver

When I was in 7th grade we were doing pictionary, and my cue was "slide rule" but my teacher saw the stumped look on my face and realized I didn't know what that was because there's no reason I'd have ever seen one

I've only had small ones (that the body squeezes on) so I don't even wanna know what large ones feel like

I don't know how to describe what a kidney stone feels like to someone who hasn't had one. I would say
-take a sharp steak knife
-hold it on a hot stove burner for about 15 seconds
-stab the side of your abdomen or have someone do it for you
-leave the hot knife there

Bringing up the 25th Amendment is cope. It doesn't do what people think it does. The only way to get rid of a president is to impeach and then convict him

The 14th amendment (especially the first sentence) is very cut and dry, means exactly what it says, and was written that way on purpose for very good reasons.

If he "cares about his people" he really has a funny way of showing it (killing thousands of protesters)

They said they caught Pam on tape stealing boxes

Pam Bondi debased herself in front of the entire world and reduced her reputation to a protector of kid diddlers only for her to be shoved out the door on a whim, just like all the others.

This is something that drives me nuts when someone says "the Democrats would be right wing un Europe" cuz I'm like you have no idea what you're talking about, just mindlessly repeating stuff someone else said

"Please forgive me. I am kind of dumb and someone told me this will mess up my money"
