There's literally no reason for Congress to exist if any random freak in the presidential orbit can nullify laws and seize federal funds. All of this is plainly illegal, but Mike Johnson leads the most corrupt Congress in US history (and by a wide margin.)

Vance on public outrage over the "I love Hitler" group chat: "Grow up! Focus on the real issues. Don't focus on what kids say in group chats... The reality is that kids do stupid things, especially young boys — they tell edgy, offensive jokes. That's what kids do."

we can all pretend!

A digital comic featuring anthropomorphic animals.

A goat and crocodile are sitting together. The goat asks, "Hey Duncan, how do you think Kip's confession is going?"

The crocodile responds, "probably something like..." while pulling out two photorealistic plushies of Kip and Mason, two dog characters. He voices them, pretending to make them talk.

"Howdy Mason! I really like you! Would you like to go out with me?"

He makes the other plushie respond. "Sure thing, Kippers! I've been dropping hints that I'd like to date the whole time!"

"What wonderful and open communication we have between each other! I love the normal and healthy relationship we have!"

The goat smiles, thinking "Where did he get these??" while the crocodile makes the two plushies kiss.

You know it's very easy to mock someone who went 'I love hitler' in an unsecure group chat without immediately going to them being fat. But whatever.. same old song and dance.

I love fatphobia.
It is definitely morally and objectively correct to treat people based on their appearance.
Very very good for the mind to do that.

They framed any form of dissent against genocide as anti-semitism but now that the gas-chamber jokes come out it's suddenly not a big deal. I know pointing this out doesn't do anything but I feel like I have to to keep myself sane.

Fascinating. Politico notes that when notified of the texts, many state-level Republicans fired or condemned these cretins. Now Vance emerges to excuse the racism, and calls the reaction to it "pearl clutching."

He seems determined to purge the party of its last enclaves of decency.
