PSA America It's Sir Keir, or (the) Prime Minister, or just the surname. It's not "Prime Minister Starmer" and--I'm begging you here--it is not "Sir Starmer" under any circumstances whatsoever. No. Bad.

The Spirit of America

What gives me hope are the normal people trying to save things. People running for school board against moms for liberty freaks, college kids protesting, local newsrooms investigating corruption etc. They inspire but also make me pissed off at the powerful people/institutions that won’t defend them

Every day proves Thaddeus Stevens right: there should've been big Nuremberg-style public trials of leading Confederates, accompanied by seizures of the assets of all pro-Confederate large landowners and businessmen, which should then have been distributed to freed slaves as compensation.

my wife & i still talk about a time we stopped into a chinese takeout restaurant near our house and were chatting, mentioned we’d been strolling around the festival happening in town that day and were in the mood for some crab rangoon, and the guy, a reserved older man, was just like “how romantic!”

the fact that the press is mad at biden for being old while hailing presidents lincoln and roosevelt who literally became dead in office (the oldest you can be) demonstrates their absurd double-standard. in this five-part essay i will,

i like that the jersey shore cast comes back at random intervals so we can see how their lives are going. it’s like the ‘seven up’ series for dirtbags.

Do it Supreme Court style, 6-10 of them a day, each one fundamentally altering the country in its own unique way

not for nothing but if i were in the biden admin, i’d ram a whole megaton of maximizing executive orders through while every reporter in america is fixated on biden old, since they’re clearly not going to cover anything else this week.

“what did you do in the second civil war, grandad?” “i tried to keep up morale by making little jokes online”

sick of these political arguments. more people should follow my example of what to do with strong opinions. i just go outside, dig a hole, and shout my views into that. 🕳️

i asked a lefty straight man i know (this is irl) whether he was aware that when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face you get sprung. the subject made him incredibly uncomfortable. he simply didn’t want to hear it.
