Very Serious People can't resolve the cognitive dissonance involved in the knowledge that Trump was involved with Epstein's pedo ring and so pretend its a conspiracy theory or didn't happen. Trump inexplicably gave the guy who let Epstein skate a cabinet post! All out in the open!

Obstacle course!

Breaking news: President Biden and his senior team said they accepted the grim ultimatum they’ve been hearing from almost all quarters of the Democratic Party — to demonstrate his fitness for office or face a significant effort to force him to step aside.

Biden and aides concede he needs to quickly demonstrate his fitness for officewww.washingtonpost.com Critics have been shaken by his relative inaction to directly address the panic ignited by his halting debate performance last Thursday.

"The Bernie Bros and K-Hive appear to be forming an alliance," I say at the 4th of July cookout. An anvil falls out of the sky directly onto my person, killing me instantly. God appears through the clouds. "I did that," he says. Family and friends applaud politely.

fuck man, I don't even know what to say anymore. One political party wants to burn everything to the ground and institute theocratic, kleptocratic autocracy. I think this is bad, just one man's opinion.

Yep. One of the biggest blind spots people have is assuming that underneath, others share the same basic values as them. They have trouble imagining an ideology that is completely misaligned with theirs.

I love this guy's posture. He always looks like he's in the front row of an airplane where the roof just flew off.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court just ruled that the president can sleep outdoors in a public space.

Elon Musk praised the way CNN handled the presidential debate. x.com/elonmusk/sta...

It certainly does seem like it's Joever. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

There is a pro wrestling Royal Rumble Surprise Entrant element to this that Dems are underplaying. People forget that McCain shot up in the polls because he picked a popular female governor who wasn't 1 million years old. It was only later revealed she was one of the dumbest people alive.

I voted for Biden/Harris in 2020 assuming that meant I was voting for Harris/? in 2024. Another part of that to consider is it means Dems could have the exciting reveal of who Harris picks to join the ticket, as a way to help exorcise the bad vibes.

Love this for him.

Yup. the bizarre notion that Trump is somehow friendlier to Palestinians than Biden (or in general is 'the peace candidate') has been an explicit down-is-up propaganda effort pushed by nazis and it's telling who has fallen for it and why!

Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded

I really like the original, but jesus this is so good.

I don't want some egghead bureaucrat telling me whether there's poison in the water I drink. Ideally I'd want that decided by a 29yo judge who went to a "biblical law school" and does not believe dinosaurs existed, and then to have that decision reaffirmed six years later by the Supreme Court.

if i had to point a finger at anything and be hella reductive id say maybe pivoting all content to short-form low effort video slop is probably partially to blame

i can’t escape the feeling we’ve collectively lost some sense of temporal/historical permanence

If you remove regulation, a lot of decisions still have to be made, so something has to replace it. What replaces it is corruption.
