And so, MAGA is not about greatness whatsoever, it is about ignorance: the luxury to ignore. It is about fantasy: the luxury to pursue a dream in which consequences of our actions do not exist; the luxury to pretend; the luxury to go back in time to

Wait, after all these racist attacks on Abdul, it's Mike Rogers who has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood!? That's wild, man.
Mike Rogers acknowledges that in 2012 he was indeed willing to work with the Muslim Brotherhood but says that he was doing it in defense of Israel and its relationship to Egypt.

I think the fact that Marissa Mayer would voluntarily disclose this to a reporter is a pretty good demonstration of how deeply the culture of Silicon Valley has diverged from the rest of humanity

Fox News is putting Nicki Minaj up telling people to vote red. Let’s break that down. Can Nicki Minaj vote? No. She’s not a U.S. citizen. Can Nicki Minaj’s husband vote? No, he’s a registered sex offender. Can Nicki Minaj’s brother vote? No, he’s serving 25 years to life for child sexual assault. She seems like the perfect spokesperson for MAGA republicans.

Some random art gallery owner wanted to exhibit Hunter Biden's paintings and it was a months-long scandal. The below can't even pierce a single news cycle.

Obama scrambled the psyche of people who just couldn't handle America electing a black president
Barack Obama claimed he ran for president to unite us all. He did the opposite. And two decades later, he's still the divider-in-chief. Obama should shut up, get off the campaign trail, and leave us all the hell alone. I joined @pwafork @News24Aust 📺 youtube.com/watch?v=vDVoBRUu…

Yesterday Trump repeatedly called Abdul El-Sayed a "jihadist", told Nicki Minaj she had a "beautiful ass" and asked her to stand up so the crowd could admire it, and yet the dumbest people on Twitter are still pretending to be offended by a mention of the Cheesecake Factory.

the cheesecake factory discourse a back to the future reminder of what 2008-2016 was like on here. Obama makes funny joke revealing he's like the average American (fluent enough in gaudy chain restaurants to jest about a specific chain). GOPers decide it means he's not #oneofus. This goes on for days...

I love how everyone is pretending that this is somehow the fault of the program and not the company telling the program to do it.

JD Vance has undergone several updates. He has been a memoirist, a never-Trumper, a MAGA edgelord, and a loyal veep attack-dog. Now, we have Vance 6.0: the amnesiac heir. (1/4)

American conservatives are constantly bemoaning the decline of aesthetic standards and calling for a return to classical Roman architecture, but are now forced to defend the Cheesecake Factory. A constant tension between the Brooks Brothers patrician and the Kid Rock populist.

Mark my words this entire Brazilian election is preamble and prequel to what voter tampering, and mass communication distortion, could look like in the U.S.
Power cables intentionally cut at a voting station in Fortaleza, the only state capital to elect a mayor from Lula’s party in the 2024 election. Voting continued as normal thanks to backup battery. Power shortages were also reported at an overseas voting station in Washington DC.

Trump was never sending Kushner and Witkoff to broker peace. He was having those two crooks sell our Alaskan public land and our Alaskan natural resources to the fucking Russians as if it were his. ft.com/content/e9cfbfbb-e65a…

I love everything about the Cheesecake Discourse first and foremost because it is a throwback to Republicans trying to otherize Obama on some absurdist terms (arugula, dijon.) But it doesn’t fucking matter bc his popularity is insane and the joke fucking killed. Another fun thing! Rs have been snookered into defending Cheesecake Factory as tho it’s a treasure of the heartland! Of the 216 locations, guess how many sit in precincts won by Harris? 166 (77%). The median margin was Harris +21.
