Remember when Pod Save America hyped up Beto O'Rourke as the next Obama and talked him into running for president right after losing in Texas?
Crazy no one takes them seriously.
My fantasy:
Joe Biden, calling on Peter Baker, getting a question about being old, answering: “Sure I’m old. But at least Jeffrey Epstein didn’t have my number on speed dial like the adjudicated rapist running against me.”
these stories served their purpose, allowing the GOP to shift the terms of the 2021 and 2022 elections away from Covid and the recovery to favorable ground of "crime." Now that the narrative is collapsing, conservatives just retreat to a new battlefield of their choosing and the press follows.
Anyone keeping track of the narratives pushed by law & order centrists during the pandemic that have disintegrated?
I've got the shoplifting panic, cops quitting because of protesters, progressive DAs ushering in new age of crime & violence, bail reform = more crime . . .
Others?
This site isn't a retirement home for millennial weird twitter shitposters. I wish it were. It is actually a retirement home for the millennial AV Club comments section
The only people who've ever held Trump meaningfully accountable over the last nine years have been ordinary Americans and they've spent that entire time being lectured to and berated by elites who've failed to do anything.
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
*MACRON'S GROUP PROJECTED TO WIN MORE SEATS THAN FAR RIGHT
*LEFT ALLIANCE SET FOR 170-215 SEATS IN FRENCH VOTE: ESTIMATES
*LE PEN'S GROUP SET FOR 110-158 SEATS IN FRENCH VOTE: ESTIMATES
*FRENCH LEFT SET FOR SHOCK ELECTION VICTORY, PROJECTIONS SHOW
Ayn Rand: oh my god... I see now how wrong I was..
Me with a time traveling xbox: they also made a second one where you can duel wield plasmids and guns but I gotta switch discs
If they succeed in pushing Biden out it will be this until the election. It will be "how much did she know & when did she know it?" until the election. It will be lawsuits against her using campaign funds until the election. It will be said that she in the pockets of billionaires until the election.
You can also phone bank or write postcards to help Arizonans win reproductive freedom, defeat Donald Trump, keep the Senate majority, flip the House, and create a new trifecta from anywhere.
This is the entire view of the right and one they’re pushing out tons of propaganda about. It’s why we get 10,000 stories of people shoplifting from Walgreens and nothing about tax cheats even though it involves multitudes more money. They want to define crime as existing entirely within the poor
Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs.
We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.
One of the funniest things about Twitter is it allowed the type of people who write glorified Buzzfeed listicles about hot dogs to think we want to hear about their opinions on politics and world events.
Theophite has convinced himself that Biden is at death's door. Seemingly unaware that his Dad lived to 86 and his mom to 92.
And sure they probably had less stressful lives but they also didn't have access to his healthcare and were born when the average lifespan was in the 60s.
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
Watching the British election returns I feel compelled to point out that the 650 person House of Commons represents 67 million people and the 435 person House of Representatives in the United States represents 333 million.
Replace the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. We deserve representation.
just watched 74 people speaking at least a dozen different languages become american citizens in a ceremony at monticello, where the speakers were themselves children of immigrants. inspiring stuff and a vivid illustration of what reactionaries want to snuff out
