At this point I’m not trusting anyone with a private jet. You got a private jet, you are too rich. What you need that jet for? Got some island to visit? Cant get to epstein’s island flying commercial.

As Trump presidency enters second year, his voters share hopes – and concerns
Trump voters urge him to tone down the rhetoric and focus more on domestic issues, especially clearer pathways to legal status for law-abiding immigrants, healthcare reform, curbing waste and fraud, and lowering US debt.

I know I say this every six months, but if you can’t imagine how working from home might make some people more productive, you have basically never progressed from being a schoolboy, and do not understand that a lot of workers derive motivation from something other than the fear of punishment.
BREAKING: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance
"People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense”

WATCH: “Where’s my kid gonna go, Gino? He’s in Kindergarten.”
Rep. Gino Bulso’s HB 1491 requires Tennessee public schools to teach the Bible in K-12 — he defends it by saying parents can “opt out”, but doesn’t seem to have thought through what that actually means for young kids.

Influencer news aggregators like Ron and Aaron Parnas have made tons of money off the backs of other journalist's work.
It's wild that Ron Filipkowski has such a large platform, considering he built his career by stealing the videos and reporting from other journalists.

I'm used to tech ads that make products look like they can do MORE than they really can, not ones that make it look LESS useful than what already exists (in this case, a copy of Runner's World.) These people can't even come up with a FICTIONAL case for why you might use their product.
Man this ad is hilarious. The ad for ChatGPT is that it’s a way to give you a vague way to not give up on running? This is why you assholes need $100 billion? This is why you owe Oracle $300 billion?

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

Can’t wait for their article in 20 years saying they were wrong about opposing abortion and affirmative action not being fascist.
i feel for all the radical centrists out there now confronting the fact that their ideology was the one built in a bubble and formed by groupthink. with enough exposure to facts and logic they will, some day god willing, catch up to the left

“Omg. An entirely defensive object and words?! The audacity. We better show up with tear gas and guns.” Sounds crazy when you say it right?
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Conservatives always find a way to play the victim. “No actually the murderer was a victim and the victim was a terrorist.”
The bottomlessly vile Greg Bovino said on CNN that the agents were the "real victims." What they're really telling us by claiming in advance that the agents' conduct was justified is that anyone who sides with immigrants and/or documents ICE atrocities also risks the penalty of death.
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

They like the punisher because he lives out their most violent fantasies and people love him for it. “Don’t tread on me” just means they don’t want anyone stopping them from living out those violence fantasies. It’s not hard. They aren’t thoughtful, politically motivated rational agents.

We can keep pointing out their hypocrisy if we want but I see no benefit in punching the smoke screen they use to act as if they’re decent people. “Pro-life” means women should be subservient to men. “Small government” means nobody should be able to stop me from abusing and exploiting who I want.
Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

Part of what strikes me about Trump, Noem, Bovino, Miller, et al and their willingness to lie in the face of overwhelming video evidence, is their absolute certainty in the tribal stupidity and cynicism of their supporters—especially on here—who will blindly repeat their lies.
