WELKER: Why was this photo of a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Trump taken down?

BLANCHE: You can see in that photo there are photos of women. We learned there were concerns about them.

W: Are you saying those women are victims of Epstein?

B: No, that's not what I'm saying.

This is the epitome of why nobody likes Yg specifically but also establishment democrats generally.

Rather than focusing on having a coherent platform and good policy positions all of these guys try to triangulate around what’s “popular” to run up the score.

Completely asinine nerd shit.
There’s nothing wrong with @casten.house.gov being an electoral underperformer in a safe seat, but in his thread attacking me he is asking Democrats to defer to his political judgment. I think it’s a smarter bet to defer to folks who overperform in tough races.

Lakshya blocked me on here for very gently calling him out back in the spring and every time I see something from him I’m reminded that it’s a badge of honor
This is why I'm really starting to hate the data bros.

Matty Y: "Dems should focus less on climate change/renewable energy, it's a losing issue."

Sean Casten (an actual Congressman): "I won a purple district multiple times by focusing on those issues"

Lakshya: "YEAH BUT YOU DIDN'T OVERPERFORM"

The “rapid rise in real median wages” is beating inflation by less than 1% per year.

This entire debate would be over if anyone bothered to look at the income distribution data and how the share of total income for the bottom 50% has been basically stagnant (and actually decreased from 2023-2024).
All fair points, but I don't think it makes sense to extend to the 1980s (in aggregate) being bad for *most* Americans.

See, for example, the rapid rise in both female employment *and* median real wages (recognizing that the former would push the latter down).

Anyone trying to tell you this doesn’t understand the income gap or how medians work.
Americans in their 20s and 30s may not feel that they’re richer than their equivalents 60 years ago, but they’re objectively wrong.

It’s fascinating how important it is to some people not to say “I’m struggling, it’s hard” or “I need help”—objectively true—but to instead insist they have it worse.

Interviewer: “How would you describe yourself?”

Me, high on 3 grams of mushrooms: “I’m not your average Butterball American, I’m a Heritage American from Whole Foods”
If immigrating from England makes you a "heritage American" then I guess I'm one too.

Essayli isn’t going to convince an LA jury to convict anyone. The odds of selecting a panel that doesn’t result in at least a hung jury are astronomical.
A tow truck driver who towed an ICE SUV that was blocking a driveway while the agents kidnapped Angelanos back in September was just found NOT GUILTY on the only charge against him (theft of government property).

THAT'S ANOTHER WIN FOR "FUCK YOU; MAKE ME"

@schiff.senate.gov can get fucked he voted for Trump’s NASA Administrator nominee, Jared Isaacman, a close buddy of Elon.

this reads very much like “if I’m going down I’m taking you down with me”
When you’re guilty AF & dont pretend to hide it anymore:

Bill Clinton spox: “The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton. This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever.”

Here’s one for the parents: there’s a couple YouTubers who put a Hellcat Redeye engine in a Pacifica.

800hp with 7 seats lol
This Is the 800-HP Hellcat-Powered Chrysler Pacifica That SRT Should've Built
Along with an 800-hp supercharged V-8, this monster minivan still has sliding doors and seating for seven people.

But it goes like this the pork the mince
The peppers and the fennel in
The baffled chef mixing all the Nduja
I heard there was a secret meat
With paprika, and spicy heat
But you don't really care for sausage

It’s been awhile since I called his office to tell him to stop being a piece of shit and confirming Trump nominees but I guess I better drink some throat coat and warm up my vocal chords
Trump's 18-minute-long rant from the White House was riddled with lies.

I'm breaking down the 18 worst lies — on everything from his Big Ugly Bill to his bogus inflation claims.
