Bernie Sanders: "I know conservative parents want to raise their kids to be honest, not to be bullies, not to lie and cheat all of the time. If we want to raise our kids to be honest, not to be narcissists who think the world revolves around them, then we need to hold Donald Trump accountable."

They really get a kick out of saying "[place] has fallen"

Excellent piece.

He loves this shit. I love it too.

this is how you have to treat these guys. with genuine contempt. your genuine contempt makes their smarmy fake contempt look weak and inauthentic. it immediately exposes their game. these guys are just losers who have sworn revenge for every humiliation. humiliate them again

All governments that rely on these “Tech Bros” for their critical infrastructure will eventually find themselves at their mercy.

I enjoyed his lectures on YouTube. He also was very elegant with the chalk as he wrote on the board.

If there are huge losses for Republicans, especially in Texas, then that's every reason for them to go after the Latino population, because they would have played a big role in their losses.

This is cruel and despicable stuff.

he's got his camera phone facing outwards like it's part of his insurance policy, much like people get cams for their cars in case of a crash

Genuinely scary that there are Miller-heads out there who are like "I want president Miller, trump sucks"

I heard a side comment from some commentary about the Iran war lately about how there must be other reasons Trump is keeping the war going, besides the obvious reasons, because perhaps he's making some side deals related to the war. I have no financial evidence to point to, but it makes me wonder.

I imagined him jumping up and down in his home office going "yes! *jump* yes! *jump* yes! *jump*"

If they understand kill chains in weapons tech then they can understand kill chains in turning off aid

One guess is they think calling it racist is an electoral risk. Another guess is they're afraid to call it racist any other circumstances too, like many other things that are glaringly racist

I keep reading that there have been no public executions in the United States for decades. Not true.

the idea that rufo has, at any point in his public career, been a sincere advocate for “colorblind meritocracy” is brain dead

this is not a problem you can fix with calm, reasoned debate. you can't even fix it by improving people's lives with policy. there is no clear, proven, non-violent solution to this issue. finding one is the most significant problem of our age.

seeing conservative men debate how to dress online is very funny. can't dress up or wear interesting casualwear bc you've made any visible interest in dress to be a sign of homosexuality. but you feel the need to dress better bc you've linked dress to respectability. a prison of your own making.

I love doing this

Blasting NPR.. wow, sounds really scary

Such a huge douchebag

mein gott!

If the last 15 years of work on things like MH17 and chemical weapon use tells me anything is you'll need a lot more than mere evidence to change the mind of any denialist.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

"RADICAL COMMUNIST MARXIST SOCIALIST TOM KLOZA HATES AMERICA"

I see your "the Republican party's being infiltrated all levels of government & institutions by nazis and the like, of whom would enjoy a sunny day with the kiddos at the combination 'public lynching-pumpkin patch' & experience no inner moral conflict about it" & I raise you "streamer Hasan Piker"

This is scary as hell.

He should patent his neurons and title it "neurons I use to tolerate getting booed in public at a Texas football event"

Let's start a gatorade and mystery meat bratwurst fund for Stevem

I'm bringing back the wrinkly shirt look out of necessity of never hanging up my buttoned shirts post drying

Bruh 😕

Wow!

For a certain kind of white man, there is no fear more primal than the fear that the people they have abused will gain power and treat them the same way.

open up for your yummy wet dehydrated shredded potato hashbrowns

It's scary but it's true, so do what the good book tells you to

Genuinely I cannot take it. The way the press has ONE STANDARD for everyone but Trump and his goons and then A TOTALLY DIFFERENT STANDARD for them. It’s intolerable, it’s obscene

donald trump being like “this is not what i voted for”

none of the people calling ossoff sexist think women are biologically capable of flying planes

Well,I don't know much about this story line at all, but it's a good thing there are a lot of his defenders going out there pretending to care about Harper's dignity. Surely it will tamp down the relevancy of this discourse if they keep it up and totally not egg on Ossoff and others to keep it going

Ideological constipation

"did you draw that?"

Some famous folk most people don't know were socialists: Martin Luther King Jr Albert Einstein George Orwell Helen Keller John Stuart Mill Jack London Upton Sinclair Dorothy Day Honorary Mention: Tolstoy (a Christian anarchist but very critical of classism and nationalism)

Yeah, this shit ain't settled yet
