My brother is pretty convinced Leo is going to at least functionally if not officially rescind Traditionis Custodes, I think he's setting himself up for a big disappointment, and the whole thing got the point where we basically can't talk about it anymore.

u up?

Trump was right that our enemies are laughing at us

The problem isn’t that two aircraft were shot down. The problem is that we aren’t psychologically or politically prepared to suffer any losses, because this entire war has been sold as a video game set on “easy” and not as a cause worth sacrifice.

I think the final straw was when some user talked the AI priest into giving them absolution

Even "Real Fucken Sexy" only gets a mention if we're being generous

This "Funniest Tweet Ever" trend has become a complete shitshow on Bluesky. I'm sorry, but "dust my wets" and "jealousy professor" (??) aren't even in the top 1,000 tweets. At least twitter provided plausible answers when this question came up.

This isn’t the sort of thing that can be smoothed over at the next conference. I do not want to interact with these people again.

The fact that Trump is going to oral arguments to pressure the justices to acquiesce to his attempted nullification of a constitutional amendment and create a stateless class for the first time since the civil war, illustrates what is really at the core of the Trump project and it isn’t tariffs.

ACK?

I've been thinking how if another covid-like pandemic happens in the next 10-15 years, there's no way we're containing or even slowing it down

When I was a waiter, I never did anything to befoul a customer's food—it would have been radically against my sense of professional ethics. But I might have made an exception for Cruz.

I cannot stress enough how these are PTA moms and soccer coach dads and I can best describe the vibe as “festively bloodthirsty”

It's basically Rick Wilson lol

"Pokémon Go to the gulag"

This is just "Pokémon Go to the polls" for socialists

This is like thinking that yelling "Christ is King" at people is never more than a harmless expression of Christian piety

Please don't drag Orangina into this, it's actually good and it's too European to even be available in America

Remember David Brooks and Flyover Man?

trump saw how much you guys loved Big Boat Stuck and tried to join in by doing All Boats Stuck and now suddenly its not funny anymore? make up your minds

Is he just pulling the 9% number out of his ass?

I'd love for this to be true, but what polls are saying that?

“At the same time, Trump’s team is privately trying to reassure the president that conservatives aren’t abandoning him. They have provided him with polling data in recent days that they say shows the war is popular with his supporters, people familiar with the matter said.  Some Trump allies who have grown skeptical of the operation have coordinated behind the scenes to schedule appearances on Fox News and other TV networks watched by the president to sound a note of caution and warn against a deeper U.S. commitment. ” Excerpt From “Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War.” Alexander Ward, Lara Seligman, Alex Leary, Vera Bergengruen The Wall Street Journal https://apple.news/AQpg4rm9_SKif_iKf6Pbzqw This material may be protected by copyright.

this is just covid II; a small, closed circle are feeding him constant horseshit and other conservatives are trying to get on fox news to warn him that he's in political danger

King George the Negative Third

I'm 99% sure this is why white evangelicals hated Pokémon and why my (Catholic) dad's colleagues at Regent University in the 2000s told my parents that it was unsuitable for children

The ice cream thing was funny because it's one of the most common answers you would get if you asked a bunch of five-year-olds what they'd do if they were president.

“the cost of gas doubling is a small price to pay” is an incredibly funny thing to say as the head of a political movement that in many ways is still built on a nationwide psychosis triggered by having to go about four weeks without a haircut six years ago.

Yeah, get ready for a lot of fake piety from people who somehow never heard a single public statement he ever said.

He did it. The president made car juice exponsive
