Okay so. Here’s what’s happened since my original post, and why I’m suddenly boosting this left and right again. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-me-if...

no one reads the articles. all of the quotes assume this is because the party is broke because of (spins wheel) whatever that person is mad about today, but the reason they’re scrambling is because they’re trying to run moonshot campaigns in deep red districts they ordinarily would never attempt

I agree that Trump's effort to politicize DOJ was very predictable in November 2024. I do not think it was obvious he would be this successful.

It's kind of rude to say this about the editorial boards of the biggest newspapers in the country, the median voter, and basically everybody else who didn't support harris in '24. It's not inaccurate, though

It's also legit hilarious that the trump DOJ has found some "antitrust" they want to investigate.

This would have been considered a shocking politicization of federal law enforcement two years ago. Hell, if you had claimed in October 2024 that Trump would do this you'd have been dismissed as absurd.

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.

The live action the little mermaid is less offensive, I guess, but it's far longer than it needs to be. Plus, things that look good in hand drawn animation look extremely silly (and weirdly cheap) with marvel-style CGI

Lion King 2: ok, so Hamlet with lions was a hit. What if we did Romeo & Juliet with lions but we half-assed everything and no longer have James Earl Jones, Jeremy Irons, or Rowan Atkinson?

someone once said he has the cadence and instincts of an obnoxious leftist tumblr poster but on the right, and I can’t unsee it you can imagine the reverse that’s like “I THINK CAPITALISM IS WHEN SOCIETY DECIDES CORPORATIONS GET TO EAT BABIES AND BE WORSHIPPED FOR IT”

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.
