The whole thing about American right wing politics is its lumpen and petite bourgeois.
The "If only Trump knew about this" response is such medieval peasant behavior. He knows: he's happy that he is taking stuff away from you.

I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

on the plane tonight a flight attendant walked down the dark aisle singing a quiet little song:
🎶 trash get your trash
🎵 trash trash trash trash

It remains not only so shameful and such a profound betrayal but also just so EMBARRASSING that universities are signing things that are like:
"Men" and "Women" are defined the way President Buttface said in his Big Fancy Statement.
Signed,
The Leader of an Actual Institution of Higher Education

James Buchanan blew up the Union in defense of slavery and then let his own Secretary of War assist in the lame duck preparations for treason, and Andrew Johnson was a drunken white supremacist who effectively revolted against Congress, and still neither of them were ever so nakedly lawless.
This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in the history of the United States and there’s no close second.

So apparently the administrators at Northwestern have caved to the extortionist demands of the Feds. Faculty voted 595-4 AGAINST this measure.

Manifesting Groyper Cleveland out of sheer incompetence.
If Republican vote share in midterms and specials continues to be so closely tied to Trumps approval numbers, this puts them in contention for "worst midterm in American history". If Trump sinks to 31% it practically guarantees it. The current record holder is, of course, Grover Cleveland, at 37.7%.

joint resolution of the House and Senate finding that President Trump is ineligible under 14A. that would be interesting Cool Zone stuff
i don’t care if you can convict. As soon as we have the House, the sole business of the House should be impeaching the President. and when the impeachment fails in the Senate, the next thing the House should do is impeach him again
in the midst of our supposed campaign against Venezuelan drug traffickers the President of the United States has chosen to pardon the Former President of Honduras, freeing him from his long prison sentence earned for trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine into the United States

If you start a game of "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", collect the three spiritual sword, and then simply leave the game console on for seven years after that not doing anything, you will solve the problem. Nothing bad will happen and the problem will be solved

why was 6 afraid of 7? because 7 bits is enough to encode an unlimited string encoding eight bits of binary data with a bunch of equal signs at the end. 6 bits would look goofy AF
