LOL the fraud is so widespread we'll pay you a millie to find it for us, thx.

Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Wouldn’t it be wild if life was a movie and someone at the FBI actually stood up to defend their life’s work and their bureau’s integrity? Movies are so cool. again

Trump’s DOJ has charged James Comey AGAIN, this time under the Espionage Act over a 2016 New York Times story. In DOJ’s own words, Comey had staff talk to a reporter to “correct misinformation” in a Reuters article.

If there was even a whiff that the democrats were going to make a rapper/pop star the press secretary the manufactured outrage would blot out the sun itself but it’s republicans so everyones like “do it, it’ll be hilarious”

I had never heard of Turnstile before Never Enough, REALLY liked the title track and I Care and got into the recrod only to discover this band has THE MOST tedious discourse.

The Turnstile show on the national mall appears to have been such a success I’m surprised trump hasn’t tweeted something about how they’re not technically hardcore

“A bunch of posers played a poorly attended set where my massive America 250 attracted 7 million patriots. The only thing “hardcore” about it was the way I defeated iran and Venezuela”

I hate that there are career diplomats who have dedicated thier lives to statecraft and they have to just stay quiet and eat shit when he says stuff like this.

"It's great to have the pope's support" -- Melania pretends that she, and not the Vatican, negotiated a limited ceasefire in Ukraine "She's doing better than the professionals," Trump says

People will say “trump is just using pardons like Biden did” once again forgetting that a: trump has actually been present before and b: would do this no matter what

It's amazing to me that Armand White, who I used to read in the New York press in the 1990s and had a reputation even then for his self-consciously abrasive "don't cut yourself on my EDGY takes, normo!" reviews is still working.

This post is unavailable.

LIke I get it, contrarianism is currency on the right, but he's just so obviously trying to get a rise out of people with his "takes" it's boring after 30 plus years.

I don't want to bundle anything, sell anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bundled or processed, or bundle anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bundled, or bundled, or bundle anything bundled, bundled, or bundled.

Did that kid in the black shirt do a "six/seven" at the end. What year is this?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

a spectacle of fascism as Trump demands Ilhan Omar resign and says Democrats have conceded her seat, and the 20-something dude bros behind him leap up and start cheering

If the democrats take power at the federal level again they will have defeated the richest most powerful people in the world foreign and domestic doing literally everything in their power to stop them and that is We The People vs the elite.

Personally I prefer cheap motels but my wife books us in an Airbnb every time we travel and I have never had an experience like the ones people routinely describe. It’s always - literally every time - been fine

Caroline Haskins@carolinehaskins.bsky.social

Airbnb is banning its hosts from making guests do things like “stripping the bed, taking trash offsite, or washing and putting away dishes.” The hosts....are not taking it well: www.wired.com/story/airbnb...

Filing a lawsuit and then having a meltdown crashout when they expect you to actually show up is Classic Trump. Really 1990s tabloid cover Trump stuff.

One of my favorite songs to play guitar along with is Synchronicity 2 by the Police. It has so many little odd parts to remember and time just right, when i play it well I imagine that's what it felt like to be good at guitar hero.

My prediction has always been no matter who wins, the rest of 2026 is going to be awful because trump and co will be out for "revenge" no matter what.

Bradley P. Moss@bradmossesq.bsky.social

They will absolutely fight to overturn the election if it goes against them.

If the democrats regain some power at the federal level it will be despite the relentless efforts of richest most powerful political, business, tech and media elites on the planet doing everything in their power to stop them so if it happens they should talk a lot about that. It's a good narrative!

A Thing Called November is my indie family drama film name

Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social

Trump: Saturday, October 31st, think of this, we have, uh... the election is... you gotta go out and vote. Then you have a thing called November

Gotta be honest trumps schedule would break me in a week - but I don’t have his bottomlesss desperate need to be in front of a camera flapping my dumb gums 24/7 which I have to believe is the only thing keeping him upright

Hoarse Whisperer@therealhoarse.bsky.social

The dude’s spiraling will get worse over the next week. Severe sleep deprivation plus sundowning plus stimulant abuse equals complete meltdown.

Ten days til h’ween and I haven’t seen any “drugs in the candy” lunacy - am I missing it or has the news cycle gone so curdled there’s no room for the classics?

Has there ever been an article or "thinkpiece" asking MAGA parents who's kids won't talk to them if they have ever considered what it is about their beliefs that has run their family off or is the burden always on the normal person who's sick of their shit?

“Hello hello hello” by Remi wolf and “Hello” by Martin solveig feat dragonette are both go to endorphin pumpers for me - I guess I just really like a polite greeting

The movie that scared me too young wss THE LEGACY - I must have seen 15 times on HBO before I was 10. I think about the swimming pool death every time I'm in one.
