I know we know about JD Vance, but he's also working to make divorces harder to obtain, and says that people in "violent" marriages should stay married and not get divorced.
So.
TRUMP: I'm going to be a dictator on day one
DEMOCRATS: Trump wants to be a dictator!
REPUBLICANS: Hysterical Dems are endangering Trump by saying he wants to be a dictator
Every time a story comes out that a violent boy or man was bullied in school, I really wish they’d talk to the girls and women who had to be around that guy. Killings are rarely a first act of violence.
I think it's terrible how the people driving around with "liberal hunting license" bumper stickers were made to fear for their lives due to political violence
All the calls for “everyone” to “cool down the rhetoric” etc feel like how families so often put the burden of keeping the peace on the family members who are already working hardest at that, since the difficult/abusive folks are unfixable/cannot be reasoned with.
LOL two people tried to assasinate Musk? What did they turn on FSD while he was in the car?
I fully support Musk making a metal suit and testing it by trying to fly.
On the up side, this might be the only thing that gets Republicans on board with raising the age to purchase AR style rifles to 21. Expect the NRA to start spinning like crazy.
like, look, man, political violence is bad and it’s bad for everyone, but if it turns out that a violent reactionary boog tried to kill king chud, well, i am going to fix a cocktail and think about all of the things the GOP could’ve done over the last 20 years to avoid this kind of outcome.
Trump was shot with an AR-15 by a 20yr old registered Republican while protected by Trump Loyalists in the Secret Service. There is literally no part of this story that works for them anymore & they have to spin as fast as they can & move on. This is 100% what it's going to feel like in three months
the "violence shook this previously peaceful white christian nationalist rally railing against the vermin tainting the blood of the country" stories are going to destroy me
This statement from Melania Trump is a fascinating piece of writing:
“A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald's passion — his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration.”
Considering that part of Trump's Project 2025 plan is to drastically reduce the role of the FBI, I find this in bad taste. They shouldn't be investigating what amounts to election interference for this guy.
grown adults are using the plagiarism machine as a search engine & using the results as “evidence” in their nonsense arguments & damn that is terrifying
i will never stop being furious at large language models being successfully branded as "artificial intelligence"
they're not conscious & functionally can't be; they don't "hallucinate," they fail to generate appropriate outputs
The point of being social is to maintain the approval of your community. We've built a machine that offers community, no matter how insane you are, as long as you keep escalating with fresh content. Stopping loses that group and the original is already lost, so you can't ever stop. See also: Qanon
I didn't care about what teens/young adults thought of my clothes when they were my peers; am I really supposed to care what they think now that I'm old enough to be their mom?
Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them.
I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.
I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.
It’s interesting to observe how leftists who have spent years minimizing threat posed by Trump (bc they’ve been too busy shitting on Biden) are now pretending to be singularly focused on beating Trump (by pushing out Biden). Color me skeptical that they’d happily support Harris.
