She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.

If it wasn’t for buzzwords and talking points these bozos wouldn’t say anything at all.

Not a one can speak extemporaneously on any topic even their own areas of expertise or experience.

My dog’s love language is farting

Closeup shot of my French bulldog making a goofy face after she woke herself up farting. She is a silvery grey lilac (meaning she has light purple accents to her coloring) with a white splotch on her chest, and she appears to be smiling. Smiling because she just farted on me again.

Ah yes, just regular old college “boys” just being “boys” who regularly use the n-word or tell of their love for Hitler

Vance minimizing this like it’s throwing water balloons or toilet papering a tree is typical of him, he’s an amoral opportunist who thinks vulnerable people are stepping stones

Yeah parents didn’t hide it ppl just didn’t look like how Peacemaker conveniently didn’t notice he was in nazi world bc he saw things he liked & stopped looking

Realizing how racist older generations were is important but denying it or claiming they hid it is just giving yourself a privileged out

I feel quite sure the “blue hair” tic they all have is their new way of saying “feminazis” like how they use “woke” to clearly mean the n-word.

They want to insult young autonomous independent women en masse and as usual their method is hacky and clumsy.

Hate is often an obstacle to clarity.

Agent lobs a gas canister into a residential neighborhood in Illinois for no discernible reason, gassing dozens of neighbors including a baby. The comfort with which they deploy weapons of war is unreal.

Assault and battery on multiple women not his wife that he was in relationships with and Johnson thinks it isn’t a serious matter.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

The entire incident is infuriating and terrifying. She’s a Latina woman who was working a service job. On her way home late at night, with her headphones in, she was detained for an hour by masked federal agents who wouldn’t give her their names.

Maria Greeley, 44, had just finished working a double shift at the Beach Bar on Ohio Street
earlier this month when she said she was surrounded by three federal agents who grabbed her, forced her hands behind her back and zip tied her.
Headphones in, Greeley had been focused on getting home to her two dogs for a walk.
Instead, she said she was detained by masked agents who did not answer when she asked for names. They questioned her for an hour, she said.

Guy who sees nothing wrong with secret police shooting pepper balls at priests trying to protect vulnerable people considers himself super Christian and a good person, which is just priceless

Of course their Christianity is white nationalist so the racism sexism and fascism are baked right in

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

although I suppose in the context of symbolic eternal punishment an empty void denying a narcissist their needed fix of ego attention and extorted power would be apt

Peak white mediocrity (Bari Weiss) is publishing the same basic article that was published in 1990 about David Dinkins, or in 1983 about Harold Washington, and applauding oneself for being a brave truth teller.

This is infuriating. She excuses the orders as "preliminary," but that's an argument for applying settled law or preserving the status quo. Allowing POTUS to disregard Congressional appropriations and fire independent agency heads are neither, they're a radical restructuring of Constitutional order.

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

It is October 2025, the assault on what is left of American democracy is escalating, and one of the New York Times’ most influential formats insists on presenting one of the Trumpist regime’s leaders as a devout “small government” conservative with a great work ethic.

The Daily is committed to sanitizing Vought and ignoring what they regard as unsavory ideology. Because engaging with what is actually animating Vought would make it very hard to uphold the “normal politics” framework that defines much of mainstream political journalism.
