It should not be a radical idea to believe that people shouldn't starve

No, man, Republicans are in charge of the government.

Do you think Democrats are the ones who keep telling the House to stay on vacation week after week in order to prevent the release of the Epstein Files?

Because I'm pretty positive that's *you* who's been doing that.

Mike Johnson: "Democrats are required to open the government. They keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't!"

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

Washpost Opinion (not News) has done a stealth edit of its pro-ballroom editorial.

The original (left) failed to mention that Amazon (whose founder, Jeff Bezos, owns the Post) is a donor to Trump's project.

The new version (right) has it.

No clarification or correction appended to the piece.

Or consider the modest Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial near the National Air and Space Museum. Congress authorized its creation in 1999. Architect Frank Gehry was selected in 2009. The NCPC rejected Gehry’s initial design proposal in 2014 before approving a revised plan the next year. The Commission of Fine Arts gave its approval in 2017. The memorial wasn’t opened until late 2020. By contrast, Eisenhower planned and executed D-Day in about six months. Trump joins a long list of presidents who have left their imprint on the White House. Theodore Roosevelt replaced greenhouses to construct the West Wing. William Howard Taft constructed the first Oval Office in 1909. Richard M. Nixon converted a swimming pool into the press briefing room in 1970. The modern East Wing wasn’t even built until World War II to cover up an underground bunker. Harry S. Truman gutted the White House interior and added the balcony that bears his name. Purists decried it. Now it’s a hallmark.

I got scammed over tickets for next week, my old apartment is trying to collect more from me, and the cat is breaking things. I think I'm done for the day. Sports is the furthest from things I care about

The cat knocking over the plant is the perfect amalgamation to how this past week has gone. I think that's my cue to give up today and go to bed

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

In my headcanon, this person really just needed my money more than I did, but man, it sucks losing that much

Josh Lauritsen @jolaurit.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you. I hope this person actually needed that money and they weren't just preying on vulnerable people, but I'm not holding my breath

Yup. I got fleeced trying to buy tickets
