My mom died one year ago today transitioning me from Dead Dad Club to Orphan Club. My goddaughter/MAGA niece posted on insta how much she missed her and stopped myself from commenting that my conservative mom hated Trump and was so sad that she worships that POS

The House of Representatives should have 750 members and there should be at least 15 justices on the Supreme Court.

A swastika was found in the office of a far-right Republican. The only explanation is that his office was vandalized.

Had a second interview today. I'm approaching 60 interviews since February, so I know when things go wrong. The face on the 20-something interviewing me at one point let me know my old ass is out of the running. I'm just so tired. Hate more everyday I didn't die in 2020

Incredible scenes.

Thompson, 43, said federal agents had just exited the fortified facility and appeared to be chasing a protester when the protester and officer collided with band members, most of whom were wearing banana costumes.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

The driver that killed the child on a bike in a crosswalk should be charged with some sort of manslaughter. But they won't, because as long as you're sober you can kill anyone you want with your car

The GOP is, at its core, a racist organization. Finding out its young members are also racist is not surprising. That's why nothing will really come off it. Those white dudes might go away for a bit, but they'll quietly come back and continue the tradition

I’m pretty sure they don’t even let you *run* for Congress as a Republican unless you’ve got at least one (1) restraining order from a former girlfriend half your age.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

Judge grants ex-girlfriend restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills

A Florida judge said Rep. Cory Mills had cyberstalked an ex-girlfriend and barred the lawmaker from going near her residence or workplace or referencing her on social media.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.
