So, Mick Mulvaney, Trump's former chief of staff who wrote this absurd, humiliating garbage, this all-time faceplant - is he ridiculed in the street and laughed at in cocktail parties on the Hill? Silly you, he's now a paid contributor for @cbsnews.

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

Today in "Trump didn't write this, someone on his campaign staff did." I don't know if Kellyanne Conway is working for Trump these days but this feels more like her style, voice, and syntax than Trump or those posting on his behalf recently.

Say what you will about the UK, but the quick transition of power and the lack of election denial are refreshing to see.

Must be nice to have choices

The Führer made him do it.

This is the tradcath weirdo whom the @nytimes.com is publishing to tell you not to vote. You should not listen to him. Instead, you should shove his ass into a locker and burn the entire campus containing said locker to the ground. (The campus is Hillsdale)

A regular reminder that Hitler was in power for just SEVEN weeks before he opened Dachau concentration camp. Life comes at you fast. Fight while you still can.

March 23 1933, the Enabling Act becomes law in Germany, giving the chief executive power enforce his own laws without checks and balances. The passing of the Act marked the formal transition from democratic republic to totalitarian dictatorship. 6 months later, it was a 1 party state.

Russians are maximalists until suddenly they’re not. They will demand the moon until they settle for a ham sandwich. Then they will gaslight you and pretend that was their plan all along. Don’t fall for their bluffs. They will always demand everything…until they give up.

This is how you know Russia is really concerned about it's security relative to NATO - once Finland joined NATO, they withdraw from the border

“Fuck it. Let’s do this.”

If you were a Starfleet captain what would your catchphrase ("engage", "hit it", "make it so" etc) be?

The only news channel we get aboard the ship is BBC News and it’s wild watching all the pomp and ceremony for the king’s birthday in the pouring rain. The only tradition we have in the US for celebrating Presidents Day is buying a mattress on sale.

People enraged about historical accuracy in #DoctorWho because people of colour are in a period piece… yeah I remember learning in history about how Queen Victoria defeated the werewolves and Agatha Christie took on giant wasps. Good times.

It's important to note that the far right in the E.U. parliament kicked out the AfD for being too extreme www.nytimes.com/2024/05/23/w...

This one really has me fucked up ya'll. A child is dead because this asshole ordained himself a hero and thought his gun gave him heightened power to issue orders. How badly did America fuck up to live in a reality where dead children are an acceptable cost of letting lunatics keep deadly weapons?

Some dude in a Seattle suburb saw three teens about to commit an armed robbery so he stepped in to stop them. Only problem was, they weren't armed and weren't planning a robbery. They were returning a BB gun to Big 5. www.fox13seattle.com/news/teen-sh...

“Until now, most accounts of the break-up of Dickens’s marriage in 1858 have given his side of the story. However, a new cache of letters unearthed and analysed by a University of York professor tells it for the first time from the point of view of his abandoned wife.”

oh hey did y'all know that in 1858 when Charles Dickens was 45 he tried to have his wife institutionalized by falsely claiming she was insane & didn't love the ten children she had borne him, all so he could bang an 18 year old actress in his employ & this is has only really emerged since 2019
