With decent bread, healthy smear of butter, and good marmalade it can be sublime.

The problem is it gives him positive news coverage. The media hates constantly reporting on the horrible shit he’s doing, but love covering this monster as a regular dude who, like all regular dudes, loves brain-dead action movies and sports consisting of people beating the shit out of each other.

Defining the ground on which we’re fighting is how Republicans “win” these arguments. It’s good strategy for Democrats to define it first.

The OP is flat-out wrong. Keeping it a high level of abstraction (“are illegal orders bad?”) is better than getting down into the much of specific actions, which the fascists would just turn into “why do you love crime so much?” attacks.

It wouldn’t have made a damn bit of difference.
November 26, 2025 at 8:43 AM
Wow. This is Fox News Watcher-level distorted thinking.

And yet, she never will.

Because conservative White peoole rule Russia with an iron fist. That’s all they really care about. If you’re in complete control of a country, whether a poverty-stricken African backwater or the wealthiest nation on the globe, the money will take care of itself as far as you’re concerned.

I know it’s not totally kosher to say, but I love to respond to this kind of statement with “what do you mean “we,” kemosabe?”

For the record, I think painting the U.S. economy as a nation of immiserated plebes supporting billionaires and the PMC class is wrong, but also that our levels of poverty, inequality, lack of social mobility, and miserly public investment are inexcusable in a nation as wealthy as this one is.

This was about spending, and in direct response to a comment.
November 24, 2025 at 6:50 PM
There’s data that shows that spending is coming disproportionately from the upper-middle class and above:

The top 10% of earners in the U.S. now account for nearly 50% of all consumer spending, Bloomberg reported Tuesday.

The Harder They Come is the best movie soundtrack of all time.

Change my mind.
November 24, 2025 at 4:53 PM
Is it?
November 24, 2025 at 4:46 PM
Just want to point out supporting someone or something in a poll and actually voting in support of that candidate or policy are two very different things.

They don’t get it. We can get everything we used to buy there somewhere else. We’ve left and we’re not coming back.
November 24, 2025 at 1:51 PM
The only reason these conversations keep happening is because idiots keep making up people to be made at.

The rightwing loves your use of “liberal” as a perjorative, though. Good work, comrade.

That’s not a response. Maybe the median household income is far too low for most families to build wealth and/or achieve any kind of lasting economic security?

Excellent point. Left unasked in this ridiculous piece is why Trump is positioning himself in opposition to Ukraine, our ostensible ally, and not in opposition to Russia, our ostensible foe.
November 24, 2025 at 1:33 PM
I’ll never get over the endless good faith the media extends a pathological liar who spits that good faith back in their face every single time.
November 24, 2025 at 1:30 PM
The media has treated Democrats’ criticism of Trump with a shocked “how dare you” since he got elected in 2016.

No president in history has gotten such deferential coverage despite being so objectively shitty.
November 24, 2025 at 4:26 AM
Why are Democrats obligated to tell you what illegal threats Trump is making? You’re a fucking journalist - isn’t knowing that a president threatening to use the military in a possibly illegal manner supposed to be YOUR job?
November 24, 2025 at 4:23 AM
I meant running against the Democratic Party/Democrat brand itself. Sorry if that wasn’t clear.
November 24, 2025 at 1:31 AM
Yeah any Democrats running against Democrats is at the bottom of my list.
November 24, 2025 at 1:26 AM
Despite there being an overabundance of punchable faces in this administration, this smug, lying, fascist asshole runs away with the prize for the most punchable.
