Hey BlueSky I know you're all in a constant battle to convince each other you're the MOST progressive person on BlueSky, but virtue signaling like this is no better than MAGA. Is the prevailing viewpoint on this website that Democratic socialism is the future? THIS is how Dems lose elections.

Katy Tur is Katy Turing SO HARD right now. She's interviewing Rahm Emanuel. A great reminder that I should go back to work, and not waste a second more watching MSNOW. Thanks Katy Tur, you're making me more productive directly through your awfulness! Oh special thanks to Tur's producers too, THANKS!

MSNOW has lost their minds with their advertisers. A 90 second infomercial about old lady makeup followed by a 30 second boner medication ad. Who wants to sit through that? Clearly some new people started working in the MSNOW ad department, and they've been given an edict to change advertisers.

Imagine being a US Senate page/staffer, forced to dig up dirt on Democrats, and this is the best narrative you could throw together for your bosses? And then to watch it unravel so spectacularly. Of course then those Republican staffers go on to have political careers of their own. Rinse/repeat.

This clip is a perfect encapsulation of MAGA Republicans/MAGA voters. They take a fact, like Smith going to an Iowa Hawkeyes game, and try to conflate/lie about it, and then introduce this narrative that starts unraveling the second Schmitt tries to lay it out. What an embarrassing political party.

It's hard to have sympathy for people who voted for Trump and now say, "I didn't know what he was going to do. I didn't vote for this." Yes, you did. Trump told you what he was going to do. We told you what he was going to do. Everyone told you what he was going to do. You didn't listen.

Being "disrespectful" means asking the President difficult questions, questions with answers that incriminate the President 100 different ways if answered truthfully. So that's why they demonize the press. Best to attack the messenger rather than the message.

Don't let his feigned self-righteousness fool you. Trump, et. al., are trying to undermine Obamacare so that they can bankrupt it. They're counting on us having zero knowledge of the profoundly basic principle on which all insurance works.

This shouldn't be a hot-take; it should just be reality. The arguments for outlawing it are stronger than the ones to keep it. That shouldn't be a hot-take either, even though the gambling degenerates will try to sell you otherwise.

Hey MSNOW I know Polymarket set a mountain of money on your desks, saying "Let's do business", but have you ever considered what you're allowing your network to become? A place where degenerate gamblers are born. Not sure who the celebrity was that pitched you, but someone should be fired over this.

"Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement..." Who's that sound like? Defining fascism to a Trump voter involves WAY too much effort. You'd have to define/explain nearly every word in the first sentence of this post...and make them understand it.

Can anyone LEGITIMIZE what Republicans are doing, nationwide? Pick a Republican, ANY Republican. That Republican has done NOTHING, repeat NOTHING, for their constituents, especially in this version of Congress. What policy positions do they have on the major issues? Be willing to bet they have NONE.

Trump died and got buried at Mar-Lago. A man went to the airport and said, "I need a ticket to go piss on Trump's grave." The agent said, "Yes, sir. Here's a ticket to Los Angeles." The guy said, "Los Angeles?! But Trump's buried in Florida!" The agent said, "Yes, sir, but the back of the line..."

How do you join the military under Donald Trump/Republicans? I understand love for your country, that's 100% legit.

Inject this into my veins! I love watching Republicans getting called out on their lies. It happens so infrequently, it's usually big news when it does happen. That's how inept/useless/purposefully obstructionist American MSM is. I trust foreign reporting about the US over most domestic coverage.
