Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.
University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

"The Democrats didn't give voters an acceptable alternative."
Trump: “Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

After what I've learned today, it's not an exaggeration for me to say that I've been personally harassed by 4channers for over a decade now, across multiple platforms
& that it was all part of a larger RW psyop funded by eugenic white supremacist pedophiles & I'm not exaggerating even a little bit

Considering that 4chan's /pol/ board was the originating website of the #EndFathersDay hoax that directly led to #YourSlipIsShowing
& that /pol/ was started because of an email between the site's founder and Jeffery Epstein
This means that Epstein has a direct effect on my life & Shafiqah's life.

I’m still not sure if enough Americans fully understand how hard it is for the rest of us to continually see polls showing “how unpopular Trump is” when he’s he’s still ridiculously and shockingly more popular than he should be in any sane nation.

hindsight is 20/20 but maybe selecting university presidents on their willingness to debase themselves for private donor money is related to the current difficulties in defending academia from fascism

Once again just to note: what if a New York Times politics reporter were this plainspoken and forthright about, say, Trump? He or she might actually be fired for it.
There's a bizarre bifurcation of standards between politics reporters and everybody else. Not just at the NYT: everywhere.

After his emails with Epstein were made public, Musk has made more promises to protect children than he ever made after Grok was found to be creating nonconsensual sexual material of children. Let that sink in, I guess.

The first name I searched on after both major Epstein files releases was Taibbi’s. I truly didn’t think he’d be in there (and he wasn’t) but I definitely thought there was something of a chance. I think Matt prefers to rape adults, though.
The Twitter Files were the most scandalous and important documents ever but the ones about prominent politicians and members of the elite being pedophiles? Yawn

I assume he mostly represses it, but I wonder how often Trump muses on what his life would be like if he had eschewed politics and stuck with his lowbrow businesses and media appearances. He only ran for president again to avoid prison.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

I really wish we were all yelling at Kamala Harris right now for being disappointing on various issues. Overcareful. Too concerned about appealing to "the median voter" (who does not exist). Etc. But that's not the world we live in.

Spending a decade on one mistake is an achievement of a kind, I guess.

Most of the decline is from Republicans, now likely realizing they've made a terrible mistake.
Only 21% of all respondents believe Trump is acting ethically, which is quite something, given that 21% of Americans will believe absolutely anything.

Only 27% of Americans say they support all or most of Trump's policies – down since last year, with the change coming entirely among Republicans.

I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago

Remember when Watergate "rocked the nation" for several years, and reverberated for decades? And how we all thought of it as the epitome of corruption?
There are like five Watergate-level (or worse) incidences of corruption every week now. And the media treats every one of them as nothing big.

There is so much corruption in this one story. Not even mentioned in the summary, the $500M investment in World Liberty Financial came before the UAE won access to U.S. AI chips
In the days before the presidential inauguration, an Emirati sheikh paid $187 million to entities controlled by Donald Trump’s family to take a major stake in one of the president’s crypto companies, World Liberty Financial.
