The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because it’s pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

He should die in prison.

This guy was caught on video committing one of the worst road rage incidents I've ever seen, plowing into a group of riders—and then he left the scene. Seriously, fuck the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for framing him as some sort of a victim. You are complicit assholes. www.ajc.com/news/2026/10...

They both did it, it was a joint effort, it’s one of the crazier things to happen in the national security space (which is really saying something) and every government should be scrambling to reduce dependence on—and as soon as possible get off—Starlink/shield or any Musk product, including the US.

Luna is doing great, and that's great! But I was livid when they found her starving in a park in my town and I say now as I did then that all animal abusers (including those involved in the illegal animal trade) deserve eternal suffering and damnation.

JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.

This is an object lesson is why slopulism is so attractive: people love the idea of a quasi-socialism that asks nothing of you personally.

The new Tesla vaporware car prototype should be used to launch billionaires off half-built loop-d-loops. How will the rest of us know it’s safe without them trying it first?

Because of Trump's war of choice with Iran, which has sent gas and diesel prices soaring, we are now importing fuel from Russia -- which is at war with our ally Ukraine and is one of Iran's top supporters.

we are going to have to be prepared for these people getting even stupider and more vicious as power starts to slip through their fingers

It needs to be loud and fucking clear that Pete Hegseth is so completely overwhelmed by the failed war he created, that he is resorting to a barbaric spectacle that has no place anywhere in the United States.

Isn’t it great that free speech advocates are in power now? After the dark days of America’s Free Speech Crisis (2015-2024) it’s a breath of fresh air. Congrats to the people who stood tall despite the brutal crackdown of the US Cultural Revolution, banged the crisis drums, and helped get us here.

This is really the foundation of most republican/conservative thought in this country

The logical endpoint of Trump domestic policies is an imprisoned population of people of color doing forced labor.

One of the big things Trump did was to mobilize people who don't normally vote, and it turns out that was a mistake. We really didn't want a lot of those people to vote, because they know absolutely nothing about the issues.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

CrimLaw professor keeps talking about marital rape being legal like it is a thing from the distant, distant past. Marital rape wasn't made illegal in all 50 states until the 1990s.

Hegseth: "It's worth saying again so the fake news understands it. We are no longer the woke department or the weak department. Simple translation of that -- no fatties no trannies no beardos no weirdos no wimps no radicals. Just warriors."

Yes yes the Eric Schmidt / Katie Britt dumbfounded idiot "oh-shit-we-got-caught" meme faces thing is hilarious, but it also bums me out because these incompetent and utter wastes of human life are in charge of our country and are making decisions that affect us all. 🤡🇺🇸🤡

Behold the true face of the anti-christ. True demon possession. Vile and evil blood bubbling out of its skin. This is one of the handful of men who want to control society, control culture, and control your life.

So much of the business of the past few years is silicon valley radicalized because for a brief moment there was social pressure that they couldn't be non-stop sexpests.

I mean, hell, it seems like they’re filtering out a lot of the guys at this point based on “are you willing to come be rapey with us” and that’s pretty fucking bad too
