Why wasn’t Cuomo asked *once* why he refused to condemn Otzma Yehudit, even when its most poisonous leader was in NYC? If “he never said they’re bad!” is the standard, Cuomo never said anything about comets crashing into the earth and eradicating humanity, why hasn’t he denounced planet-killers?

Being in the city, it’s impossible to overstate the degree to which this is true. The folks who profess to be “afraid” of Mamdani have heard stories that are indistinguishable from Baba Yaga or the chupacabra. There’s never any substance, just slander and lies spread by the media they seek out.

They believe conspiracy theories. It's as simple as that. They cannot face the evidence is as much against them as it is, that WE see clearly because it means they've been wrong this whole time. It's face saving to avoid the obvious--MAMDANI is the advocate of liberal rights. So what are THEY then?

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

By shutdown you mean starving people, taking away their healthcare, and not paying them while you build golden ballrooms and buy private jets? Yeah, I think that was probably part of it!

If someone could convince him the election results were JD Vance’s fault I don’t think it would help anything materially but it would be funny

Mamdani’s win is a warning for media:

Better get some leftist contributors or you simply won’t be able to cover/understand what is happening around America.

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.

Democrats swept all 13.

That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).

They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

Comic. [Person sitting at desk with laptop with machine labeled E-21 making “click click” noises on the floor behind] VOICE FROM LAPTOP: Hey all! Does your E-21 humidifier make an annoying clicking noise? Mine did, but I finally figured out that there’s an easy fix, so I made this video in case anyone else… PERSON AT DESK: Oh my god. Yes. *Yes.* [caption] I know there’s more important work in the world, but I feel like these people deserve, at minimum a statue.

This is really funny, because you know that Trump will still know it's just a made up prize and not actually -the- Peace Prize.

sdklfj Gorsuch asked a question like, so if the pres unliterally declared a 50% tariff on all gas-powered vehicles to respond to the unusual & extraordinary threat of global warming?

DOJ says well we'd say that's a hoax & not a threat

Hard agree
screenshot of black text on beige background reading: The labor movement of the early twentieth century held that anti-strike laws established “involuntary servitude” in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment, while anti-picketing and anti-boycott laws transgressed the First Amendment freedoms of free speech and association. Neither movement waited for courts to recognize their rights; they interpreted the Constitution for themselves.
