Every time you see Mike Davis do Mike Davis things, think about Gorsuch reportedly helping land Davis a job at DOJ, then choosing him as a clerk when he was on the 10th Circuit, then choosing him as a clerk when he was on the Supreme Court.

Hakeem Jeffries posted pictures of two Rep. Members posing with “Young Republicans” who were part of a racist text thread (as reported by Politico).

In response, Mike Davis (well-connected in Trump World & on the Hill) called Jeffries a “house slave” for George Soros - proving Jeffries’ point.

very funny that JD Vance has so little to do with his time that he goes on podcasts to defend 30-year-old men for saying how much they love Hitler

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4h

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

I just realized that Bill Cipher's last name isn't just Alex Hirsch being like "I love ciphers!" it's a play on the gag of a character giving their name as, like, "Louis Cipher." Goddammit I am SLOW sometimes.

No, but I've had songs that when I hear them I'm like "Holy shit this is going to be my new obsession" and then I completely forget they exist for years again.

Listen. Listen to me very carefully. I was born in the 70s. I grew up in the 80s.

When I hear "radical" my first thought is not "dangerous extremist." Hell, I was young enough through the early 90s that even the word "extreme" doesn't have the same connotations.

I don't think I've ever received a single communication from the DNC that isn't a solicitation.

Nothing about what their positions are, what their agenda is, their accomplishments... Anything to make me want to give them money.

I guess when you don't have results to talk about...

This is such a facile claim right on its surface when we consider the vicious murder of Balbir Singh Sodhi on September 15th, 2001 as “revenge” for 9/11 despite him not being an Arab Muslim but a Punjabi-American Sikh and immigrant.

It was literally not just Muslims being punished *for* 9/11

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 6h

So a couple people have now hinted at the idea that Black people didn’t have it so bad post-9/11 because Muslims had it bad. This ignores that there were and are a lot of Black Muslims. This also ignores that more than one group of people can be targeted for state violence. It’s never just one group

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.

"Viewpoint diversity" is not a thing.

It is, as always, the right's attempt to portray themselves as oppressed for having shit ideas nobody wants.

Their crap performance is somehow oppression.

The way this ends is forced attendance at right-wing "comedian" performances.

Do NOT use vanilla in place of sherry! I just made this exactly as written and used vanilla since I didn't have sherry. It is now down the disposal. The smell alone was a huge indicator of what it would taste like. Whoever thought of vanilla with meat? Nasty.
