This episode aired in 1994 and no other joke about American politics has held up that consistently for so long.

So Trump called RFK Jr to discuss how "we're going to win" but not the widow of the man who took his bullet?

if we still had MAD Magazine they would’ve gotten him with “Hillbilly Allergy by JD Pantsed” four years ago and none of this would be a problem

Someone pointed out that the GOP has no problem calling him by his chosen name, JD, instead of the name on his birth certificate, James, although they are passing laws to forbid that in schools.

Really struggling to understand why both the mainstream media and Democratic leadership are finding it so hard right now to express what I think is a fairly basic point. Political violence is bad and a second Trump presidency means more of it. www.garbageday.email/p/yet-anothe...

from now until Election Day, we connect every story back to Project 2025 Eg: a Trump judge just tossed the Florida classified docs case on the claim that the Department of Justice improperly appointed their counsel. Project 2025 will let Trump fill DoJ from top to bottom with his personal loyalists

my feelings on veteran praise in this country are too complex for 280 characters, but Kurt Vonnegut on the creation of veterans day is to the point.

For all the terrified Democrats squealing that Biden has no chance, please just stop your sobbing. We absolutely can win.

Free idea for a Dem ad: a series of brief somber interviews with people who worked with classified documents explaining what the consequences would be for the most minor infraction. Then just show these photos

Without a "they" that is out to get them, the entire MAGA world view crumbles into dust. If politics is just about electing imperfect people to craft imperfect solutions to problems we can only partially understand, then all of the drama is drained from politics and there's no reason to vote GOP.

"garden variety school shooting" one of those phrases you can just let tumble around in your mind a lil bit
"A third classmate...said that Crooks was very smart, took honors classes, and was shy. She said that he had a group of friends who were fairly conservative, some of whom would wear Trump hats." nothing so far differentiates this from a garden variety school shooting www.cnn.com/2024/07/14/u...
What we know about the Trump rally gunman so far | CNNwww.cnn.com Interviews with a half-dozen former classmates and neighbors of Thomas Crooks painted him as quiet and aloof, with some remembering him as a misfit in high school.

The king looked at the newborn in the midwife's arms. "A dragon?" "Oh," the queen said. "You slept with a dragon?" "No dear, you did. The knight you sent to kill me suggested-" "He said the dragon was no more, and he found you in its lair..." "I'm sorry, I'll go-" "No! No. Stay."

If the Democrats had any guts they would introduce an assault weapons ban into legislation this week and call it "the Donald Trump presidential candidate protection act" or something like that
