Idk where I heard it but I heard a story that several presidents had threatened to fire Hoover and each time they had to knuckle under his authority and leave him alone

Clearly he was not punched hard enough

Idk if it’s a political compass per se but you can probably learn a lot about a person based on their preferred Santa…

idk maybe not.

The trolling wars are getting intense:

“And then after all that trash talk about the Pope, Trump went and posted a pic of himself as Jesus…”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This feels like a Calvin and Hobbes strip

I’ve been waiting for this joke

Man, I just want to know if I gotta go to work tomorrow.

If I’m gonna live in a Mad Max Apocalypse… I at least wanna sleep in first.

again very funny to think that a critical pro trump message in 2024 was that he wouldn’t start world war iii

“I let a bunch of kids kick my ass.”

It’s also annoying cause I’m in the middle of replaying RDR2 right now so hearing Dutch give a speech about America isn’t something to I’m in the mood for.

I guess I’ll go find legendary fish or some shit

I’m no politicalologist but banking your hope on ppl profiting hand over fist from bad decision making doesn’t seem like an effective strategy.

There is a chance Orban will win the election, of course, and if it happens it will be in spite of Vance not because of him.

For better or worse, JD Vance evokes the image of a self-Made Man.

And for many right wingers in Europe, nothing is more loathsome than a self-made man

JD Vance: The God of our Fathers!

European Conservatives:

What I’ve learned from my time in Europe is that a lot of Republican Rhetorical tricks are just seen as complete weirdo shit by many.

Many of the even much of the far Right (not all) avoid sounding too much like the GOP because its alienating and you sound like a stupid freak

What’s especially funny is this might be the thing that pushes ppl away from Orban.

It’s so annoying that I’m going to therapy the same night the world might end.

Wuthering Heights (2026)
dir. Emerald Fennell

In 1931, Aldous Huxley predicted in the future ppl would sedate themselves into state of complacency where they would feel a general happiness.

In 2026: Corporations have decided it is more profitable if Consumers are more paranoid and miserable.

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

These emails explain a decade of world politics and the media apparently had no interest in covering them

Jeet Heer @HeerJeet: For whatever neurodivergent reason, Musk is incapable of talking in code and innuendo, which makes his exchanges with Epstein interesting. In this case, the dialogue went something like this: Epstein: do you want to come over to my place for a party, I'll have many interesting people during UN general assembly Musk: (taking Epstein literally) not interested in meeting diplomats, too busy. Epstein: do you think I am retarded? Just kidding. There is no one over 25 and all very cute.

Cross-posting this comment from Jeet Heer over on Twitter. It really is kind of funny that Musk is just totally unable to pick up on code and innuendo.

Probably the funniest aspect of many of these RW polemicists is how they try to sound journalistic but folksy at the same time and succeed at neither

always struck whenever i read anything from rufo how it is absolutely clear that he is a dumbass
