the way people have absolutely zero principles genuinely disturbs me. they believe nothing and will say anything that brings them their next paycheck. this is no way to live. it’s disgusting. i do not understand how this isn’t a bot and an actual real human being

Look, Democrats are just going to have to accept that rural voters have spoken, and they want their infrastructure to rot, their hospitals to close, and their children to die of preventable diseases

i just watched this video and the fact that they believe this to be exculpatory is genuinely insane

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

Gambling should not be easily accessible & marketable. Online gambling marketplaces should be illegal outright. I honestly thought gambling outside of casinos was already illegal... Isn't that the entire purpose of casinos? A compromise to keep gambling but only in specific, regulated locations?

it’s a genuine societal catastrophy that gambling apps report on news and can influence their audiences to spend and lose money like this

this is the unspoken but absolutely clear argument at hand.

That’s the thing man. If they are to be taken at their word the only takeaway is that there should be no black people in any job any other white person wants. One quick Google search for any of these jobs would show there are usually one or two minorities are best in a unit of 20 or 30 or more.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Another day, another TEN missed opportunities for the DNC to speak on behalf of Dems about the abomination of the day. Mark Kelly shouldn’t have to defend himself alone. The DNC, the national Dem PARTY should be speaking up for him and the other members of Congress all over the place. WHYYYYY

I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.

Elon Musk endorses Cuomo for mayor of New York and makes sure to add some racism in there: “…Mumdumi or whatever his name is.”

Dude is literally parroting neo-Nazi/KKK rhetoric and the national media is so captured that it is normalizing his explicitly fascistic and ethno-nationalistic views.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

It’s crazymaking to watch people nod sagely about findings that are just demonstrably untrue. What is true, I think, is Dems keep trying to run cautious meat and potatoes races only to be tagged in the public mind with all the social issues their opponents obsess over and they leave unanswered.

Joe Walsh@walshfreedom.bsky.social

Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

This is the most obscenely wealthy, grotesquely cruel, offensively under qualified and incompetent, outrageously & blatantly corrupt, callously indifferent, brazenly self-serving, shamelessly deceitful administration in our country’s history. A hollow gold-plated autocracy destined to collapse.
