on the contrary, a wider war is a great way to distract the public from domestic unrest. ask America how we know.

FUCKING CAMPAIGN ON THIS

Christina Applegate has MS?! didn't she already have a double mastectomy following breast cancer? Jesus Christ, did she deny an old Romani woman a mortgage extension or something?

this doesn't even make sense. he had no way of knowing there was live ammo in that gun. it wasn't his responsibility to ensure there was no live ammo in the gun. it wasn't his responsibility to ensure there was no live ammo ON SET.

imagine you light a candle on a birthday cake and it explodes because someone replaced it with dynamite. is the resulting death your fault?

RUN, GIRL, RUN!

yeah, like ones where the dude says his "love language" is physical touch so he doesn't "feel loved" unless he's balls deep in one of your holes at least once a night

Boomer women are only marginally less misogynistic than men, let's not pretend they're going to spend their husbands' money on progressive feminist causes.

i was going to delete and repost this to include my favorite relevant self-made gif, but i don't want to lose all those likes so i'll just add it here:

YOU WOULD THINK that after the freeze of '21 completely collapsed our grid, they would have FUCKING WINTERIZED IT SO IT COULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, but this is Texas. Abbott doesn't have time or resources to protect Texans, he's got migrants to drown!

on the other hand, Sarah Palin already demonstrated how absolutely repellant GOP voters find women on the ticket, and Ross Douthat clearly agrees, so maybe Haley as VP would just be a repeat of 2008?

just like the rest of the Dem moderates in 2020, the race for second place still matters because they're running for VP. and if Trump taps Haley for VP we are in SERIOUS trouble. because Haley as VP checks ALL of the same boxes as Harris, and I don't doubt there are some independents stupid enough to think "I don't want Biden to be president, but I do want a WOC to be VP to ascend to the presidency when the extremely old white male president dies."

and Trump will never die.

I feel like we need to be more specific in describing the GOP base. it's not a simple as "working-class" - there's a LOT of POC who are working class and they're not voting Republican. you can also have a college degree and still be working class, they're generally not Republican either.

the GOP isn't working-class, it's TRAILER TRASH. white, uneducated, gay-bashing, self-loathing, "the Bible is the only thing I understand and I don't even understand that" TRAILER TRASH.

how the hell is Trump not "ideologically conservative"?!

how the hell is a conservative party "disproportionately conservative"?

arrest those national guard members for murder. federal agents' authority supercedes state militias, that's the entire point of a federal government. they had no grounds to deny CBP access and their intent was clearly to ensure the death of those migrants.

is it racism? it's racism.

hot take: I liked Skyler White. and not in a "waiting for her to redeem herself" kind of way. the moment in which I connected with her the most was when she was screaming "SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP" at Marie. I felt very much like she was me in that situation, at every turn, and she consistently did what I would've done and she was right to do so. she navigated an impossible situation in the most pragmatic way she could.

Biden needs to listen to "I got mine, fuck you" slam-the-door-behind-them Latino voters instead of people with an ounce of actual fucking compassion

this is just hilarious. "your honor, my client would like to take the stand." "to give testimony related to the facts of the case at hand?" "no, to ramble incoherently about his many grievances and regurgitate self-serving propaganda like the court is one of his MAGA cult campaign rallies."

65 on Thursday. Snow on Monday. SHUFFLE HAS ARRIVED
