This guy has a big sad. They hate being ridiculed. They don’t care that their beliefs are stupid, they hate when you clearly make them look stupid for their beliefs. It’s the closest they’ll ever get to feeling shame, and it’s the only method that seems to get through to them.

There is one secretary of HHS and he based his entire platform on a totally debunked vaccine / autism study. (And he still has his job)

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Nobody outside of your administration underestimated Iran. We all knew they’d close the strait and conduct asymmetrical warfare, while you thought hammers could do the work of scalpels and violence could do the work of diplomacy. You’re fucking idiots.

No one with even a 3rd grade level of combat leadership experience, geopolitical knowledge, historical understanding of the Middle East, cultural or religious context, geographical knowledge, or international relations underestimated Iran.

This is the America I’ve always known. It’s just been given a permission structure to be loud about it again. It’s truly frightening.

Why is the modern GOP struggling with a Nazi problem? John Oliver lays out the case in a simple, powerful, hilarious way, connecting the inability of today's Republicans to denounce white supremacy to a long tradition inside the party. WATCH: https://loom.ly/y1gqvds

500,000,000,of course, is derived from Arabic numbers.

A survey of lyrics of punk songs from 1980-1988 confirms that punks understood what was happening over the rest of the general public There are still “dems” who think Reagan was great, when in fact he is the source of today’s problems.

I seem to remember a country in the 30s-40s offering rewards for turning fellow citizens in for being someone their leader didn’t like. I think the color of their shirts were brown.

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"

What would you rather, “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” Or “I’ll help you, but only at the cost of your servitude” Pay your taxes so we all have what we need and eliminate this reliance on awful, evil people and their companies.

We are seeing the problem of privatizing what should be government functions. Our military and intelligence capabilities are do beholden to Elon Musk’s companies that we have little choice when it comes to capitulating with his whims. 1/2

“I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” Is much more comforting than, “I’ll help, but it’s going to cost you.” That’s the point of government and taxes. We all pay our prorated share to ensure that when help is needed for anyone in our great country’s community, it’s there. No question.

Why the fuck do the Dems think it’s relevant, necessary, or a good idea to put Bill Clinton out there at this time? The 90s, aughts, and 10s are long gone and we cannot afford that kind of politics or degeneracy anymore.

Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

You know who is almost as toxic as having Trump advocate for your campaign? Having Bill Clinton advocate for your campaign. Why the fuck am I seeing so much Bill Clinton in my feed right now? It’s necessary at this time to not be nostalgic, it’s time to look forward.

Does anybody know who is in charge of foreign policy on our country. Or in charge of anything for that matter?

Q: Your ambassador to Turkey just said that 'absolutely, there could a strike on Iran this weekend.' Have you gone back on holding off until after the midterms? TRUMP: If that's the case, I don't know anything about it

...and slavery, Trickle Down, Separate but Equal, Jim Crow, forced conversions of Native Americans, the Trail of Tears, overthrowing Iran's democratically elected gov' in 1953, providing Netanyahu $50M bombs to strike schools, and training Osama Bin Laden when Russia invaded Afghanistan.

Elect us, we are unnecessarily mean to people. We also always think you’re being mean to us when you’re just telling the truth about us. Quite the strategy

JD Vance: "When you're mean to Amy Acton, she sics the American media and of course the Democrat Party operatives all across the state of Ohio after you. But I think a person who is more worried about whether somebody says something mean about them, that person can never serve in the gov's mansion"
