amazing that the whole Trump arc is: people reject Trump->sorry, Electoral College->people reject Trump->Trump does coup->people point out Constitutional rule barring coup-doers from running again->every pundit in America: "tsk tsk it's not legitimate unless the people reject Trump"

The craziest shit for me is that there's an audio recording of Donald Trump asking for Georgia officials to "find votes" in 2020 and he's running now. How is that not instantly disqualifying? We HEARD him. Not Meadows. Not Giuliani. How is asking officials for votes (with proof) not instant jail?

I have to say, it's kind of amazing how every single dipshit hack dickweed who's been way overpaid for way too long to make America fucking dumber via the worst journalism on the goddamn planet has come out of the fucking woodwork to defend this dumb asshole who sent nudes to Captain Brainworms

Something the whole Vichy Twitter thing has been revealing of is how unethical behavior in one fairly low stakes area (staying on Twitter now that it's run by Nazis) correlates with unethical views about a bunch of other topics

Here is the problem with with journalism in 2024 in a single post. Sleeping with a political candidate while writing highly critical pieces about an opposing candidate is not treated as instantly disqualifying. Instead, this person has decided she is still a good journalist. What a joke.

“when you meet a member of the ku klux klan” from 1921 is a wonderful poem on how to handle the klan. It’s good advice for dealing with all fascists. Unfortunately it’s is just as relevant as when it was written in 1921

The same rules that apply to brands on April Fools should apply to the terminally online on 9/11. Your jokes are tired. 8,000 people have made the exact same joke before you. If you insist on participating, that shit better be hilarious.
