I’m so sick of cynical losers who don’t believe in anything.

“Don’t be mad that he demolished the east wing of the White House, be mad for a better reason like—“

Stop that.

Let people be mad at Trump for whatever reason moves them. Anger at Trump is good. Don’t police people’s reasons. We can all be mad at him together.

At this point this has to be intentional bad faith type stuff. The idea that ppl are invested in national symbols is not some new thing. These shitposters are just miserable human beings that find any way they can to shit on everyone around them.
It's the PEOPLE'S house!

A certain school of leftist thought would have you believe your country is permanently hostile toward your interests and will only do anything good if you threaten to set it on fire. Then if they do the good thing, the only proper response is to set it on fire anyway. This demonstrates principles.
Basically they believe that any form of taking pride in your country, even when it does something good, is for suckers. Your country can successfully beat back fascism, fix the economy, expand health care, their reply will always nevertheless be "fuck you, what have you done for me LATELY?"

If I can be allowed a moment of darkness - if Cuomo pulls off an improbable win, I don’t think that Nee York can lay claim to being a vibrant, multicultural city. There are a whole lot of people here who are sending a very bad message to their neighbors with their support of Cuomo’s campaign.
Virulent anti-Mamdani push poll combines questions about his actual positions (housing affordability, millionaire tax) with Islamophobic questions implying that he supports "making halal mandatory in all city restaurants" and investigating "Israel's role in 9/11" (via @jccoltin.bsky.social)

Every day is an unending litany of shame for a range of institutions in this country--and especially are news media--who 100% would not be putting up with even a fraction of this deranged behavior from literally anyone else.
Trump: I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.

I was in Portland a week ago and there’s just literally nothing happening. It’s not a matter of opinion, it’s not a perspective thing, it’s reality versus a world Trump is inventing in his head so he can seize dictatorial authority
Trump: "I look the other night, Saturday night, Portland is burning to the ground and these people are saying it's just friendly stuff. The whole place is burning to the ground. So we'll take care of that one. That's like an insurrection more than it is anything else. Portland is crazy."

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

He’s so “busy.” What is he doing?

Here’s what he’s told us he’s NOT doing.

-reading/watching the news
-negotiating with Dems
-developing a strategy to end the govt closure
- learning the details of the health “plan” he insists Republicans have
-drafting/pushing legislation

What’s left?
RAJU: You said yesterday you were still trying to get the details of this $230m Trump wants from the DOJ. Now that you've had some time, are you ok with taxpayers potentially being on the hook for that kind of money?

MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not trying to dodge. I haven't had time to get the details

It continues to be a massive indictment of our news media and the ways that they are endlessly permissive of Trump that none of this shit elicits even a mention from them
I kid you not, this is currently what the White House's "Major Events Timeline" shows for the East Wing expansion.

Tempting to say “imagine if Obama/Biden did this” etc but the thing about this WH vandalism is: you literally cannot imagine it. Obviously neither of them would have dreamt of just tearing down half the WH on a whim to erect a vanity project. The idea is ludicrous. Nor would Bush, Nixon, anyone

"The ballroom is really the president's main priority."

Not your health care.
Not rising prices.
Not the dragging economy.
Not ending the shutdown.

Trump's "main priority" is wrecking the White House so he can build a fancy new ballroom.
Leavitt: At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the president's main priority.

And why do white people’s “youthful mistakes” always include racism, bigotry, and violence? Yall know that’s not a normal coming of age story, right?

Everyone realize that the reason the government is "shut down" is that the Republicans failed to pass a budget by Sept 30th, as they are required to do by law, and the government just ran out of money?
By law the Republicans were required to have a budget for the new fiscal year in place on September 30th.

Anyone seen the budget? Are they are here in DC working on one?

Don't we think media, commentators should be asking Rs where their budget is? Do they intend to actually create one?

would not let Trump even watch a cat for two weeks. You would come back from vacation to find Trump claiming Haitians ate the cat, every house in neighborhood burgled in "cat rescue operations," and an adult brown bear with spray-on whiskers as the "replacement cat" Trump got you

I know we’re not supposed to doom think or scroll or anything but some days I just think about how being a Dem means that ratfcks from Yglesias to Ball are your “allies” as reactionary arsonists burn the country and I can’t think of a sane seeming response.
So it turns out the main people defending Platner are Bernie, Lovett/Veitor, Yglesias (I guess a good contrarian schtick is to be anti-anti-Nazi if the Nazi is from where you spend the summer), & a bunch of people who are always trying to ratfuck Democrats
I was out most of yesterday & missed the Platnerkreig. Who besides Lovett & Stoller has defended Platner? (I don’t mean randos w a few dozen followers)

Mike hasn’t clocked into work in 3-plus weeks, and hasn’t spent a full week at the office since July.

“Been a little busy”: with what? Keeping cucumbers over his eyes so he can pretend not to see anything?
Mike Johnson says he's open to meeting with Adelita Grijalva but he's "been a little busy"

Carney: But this decades-long process of an ever-closer economic relationship with the United States is now over. And as a consequence, many of our former strengths as a country—more particularly, our economic strengths based on close ties to America—have now become our vulnerabilities…

this is going to be every single republican ad next year
Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.”

Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.
