The interesting element of this is how the media establishment took the cue and adopted the messaging. Never examined whether it was valid or constructive. Just ran with it.

He promised to cut energy bills in half in 6 months and gas prices would be under $2. He never said he couldn’t do that because he’s “inheriting a mess.” He said he would do it & it would be easy. So he can try & blame Biden now all he wants, but he blatantly lied & is a buffoon.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

C-3PO sucks goat poo. He’s like Dobby (annoying and useless) but shiny in a very tacky and pointless way and can’t die. A proper movie would have left him cleaning the grease trap in the lowest level of the Jawa trawler on Tattoine.

Even if we accept the idea that this could be savvy electoral politics — and I think the evidence is strongly against that — it ignores that among groups that swung from Biden in 2020 to Trump in 2024 (those who made the electoral difference), his immigration policy is despised

Twelve years ago, I thought the only person dumb enough to say something like "Ratio me. Please." was the fictional Zaphod Beeblebrox. And now even third-rate hacks have the delusional self-importance to say publicly shout dumb shit like this.

I would just argue against using a percentage as the method of calculating the increase as some corps aren't paying any taxes at all. The greater of $1 million per employee on SNAP or an amount equal to the value of the stock buybacks in their most recent fiscal year?

You could have an entire family of networks of cable news channels that cover nothing but GOP/right-wing lies. Multiple channels on 24/7/365 And never have to recap or repeat or analyze or banter. Just here's a fresh pile of bullshit and another and this one is super cray and another...

If it was a multiple choice test and one of the answers on every question was “Bad faith on the part of the conservative/Republican”, you could skip reading the text of the question, fill in that circle every time and probably get an A+++

Dear Democrats, You will never be able to triangulate your way through racism/sexism/transphobia, because pushing a lighter, politer form of bigotry is always a lose-lose proposition. The bigots want the uncut stuff, while normal people aren't drawn to cowards who sell out. Stand your ground.

Would 100% not surprise me if Lane Kiffin watched "Chad Powers" and thought it was a documentary. Between that and how giant of a dumbass Tommy Tuberville has proven himself to be as a senator, maybe instead of an age ceiling for players, we should have an IQ floor for coaches

Of course he lied to Congress. Hello?! He's RFKjr. His Samoa trip and his motives are well-documented. In this tiny island-nation, his actions are directly responsible for sickening thousands, the deaths of at least 83 people – most were children under five years old. He's trying to cull us!
