We say "witch hunt" too readily and the power dynamic makes for a bad comparison, but this is exactly the logic of a witch hunt; if you deny it, it's proof it needs tortured out of you until it kills you and if you admit it you need executed. No way out of this kind of accusation

Amanda Marcotte insisting that Biden regularly insisting during his busy speaking schedule that he is not experiencing cognitive decline is itself proof that he is lying and unfit is amazingly circular stuff. Someone's brain is cooked, that's for sure

Let’s fucking hope this is a “Dewey defeats Truman” kind of thing

NY Times: You thought this election might be about an unprecedented convicted criminal running to overthrow Constitutional democracy? You think you decide the narrative? Oh no. That’s our turf. And we say the most important thing in the election—nay, the world—is Joe Biden’s age.

this is losing game 1 of the Conference Semis and *immediately* demanding Adam Silver restructure the seeding process.

Dem weirdos dreaming up tournament-style solutions to Joe Biden being the nominee and Catturd-grade reactionary types crying about cheating in the French election have one crucial thing in common, which is that they transparently lack the emotional maturity and patience required to be sports fans.

Folks who do not want to see Donald Trump reelected, there are two (broad) things to talk about: policy accomplishments in the last 3.5 years, and Project 2025. Hammer it hammer it hammer it.

mom texted me, asking to explain project 2025. it has broken containment and we must let it spread.

If I could change one convention in the natural and social sciences, it would be that journals would publish null results. Like, I had a hypothesis, ran the numbers, and p-value showed no statistical significance, oh well.

I regret to inform everyone that Donjon is in fact a word and the word we get “Dungeon” from.

Any day that FRONTEX is sad is a good day

Sometimes I think I’ve heard weird shit, then I hear the bowl thing and have an episode

It’s hard for me to exactly describe what is wrong with the political writer/academic commentariat but one of the most glaring issues is that they clearly don’t grasp the gap between spectator and practioner in politics is a fucking chasm

A lot of folks who supposedly analyze politics for a living are just like…not good at it?

We haven't learned to stop posting Yashar? Lmao. Also interesting: He linked to a WaPo story and Lieu flatly denied it. The WaPo story says Lieu asked him to step aside. The @washingtonpost.com is straight up printing lies. You should be proud, you dogshit rag.

there are many reasons we need to win in the fall, but one of them is that i simply am not going to abide by letting both the brits and the french lecture us

Getting dogpiled so hard you delete your account from literally the afterthought of social media, you love to see it.

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

Fuckin phew

feels like we had three straight (presidential) elections where people just straight-up would not believe an unembellished description of what Republicans want to do, and now Project 2025 overplayed their hand so badly that the spell’s breaking

It’s an improvement over 2012 where the Obama campaign tried describing Paul Ryan’s actual policy positions and everyone assumed they were lying

Far-right chud in NYT: "They went about the ordinary business of life - laboring, raising children, worshipping their creator - untroubled by futile expectations of change." Medieval commoners: "I would rather the king and all kings were dead than that my son should be hurt on his little finger."

More anti-democratic thoughts from 2018 the NYT allowed this writer to exclude from his current piece. Delivered with an air of detached irony, as if he miiight be joking or exaggerating. But is he?

Biden sounds like he’s been recovering from a cold. Like what we learned the day after the debate

Joe Biden refusing to take advice from people who have been wrong about everything for decades could be seen as an indication his brain is still working

if Biden had quit i would guess it would take less than 36 hours before the first set of "Harris is a conniving, disloyal power-climber" articles dropped

I don't take the age thing seriously. THEY PICK A LIE ABOUT EVERY DEM, and the press knows it's some BS but plays along. They know that the other guy is worse in every way, especially his brain. They turned being a war hero into a liability against a fortunate son draft dodger.

what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

Fucking WHAT DID I SAY

Yeah, I feel like the people who say it would be all positives are really not doing an honest assessment of the lay of the land here. I get the argument but the feeding frenzy we see now would just transfer, and Harris would face questions of why she backed/hid the infirm Biden for so long.

There is a sustained and significant campaign to empower far-right powers worldwide sponsored by Russia and the Saudis. This is not a conspiracy theory, this is a repeatedly demonstrated fact

Another thing to think about re the elite revolt against Biden is he *is* the president who funded the tax police and ended the cozy wink, nudge relationship on dodging the taxes they claim to support.
