Shouldn't these headlines include the words "despite overwhelming evidence in Epstein's emails" I hope no one actually believes the FBI thoroughly investigated this

Remember, there are to this day people who deny the holocaust happened. There will also be people who will NEVER accept Trump is a rapist pedophile and murderer, even when presented irrefutable evidence.

I have an idea. They should just have us wear QR codes all the time that ICE can scan from a distance so they don’t have to bother us to check our papers. Especially us non-whites. They can make them in cool designs to complement our sense of fashion. Like a yellow star, or a pink triangle.

This infatuation trump has with Mamdani is really just evidence this guy is being manipulated by literally everyone around him and he doesn’t have the mental faculties to tell fact from fiction. The president of the United States y’all. Also - he posted a photo of Mamdani BY HIMSELF.

Weirdly I don’t think I’ve ever felt so represented in media as I have with Netflix’s “in your dreams” I feel like this kind of representation may go unnoticed by the vast majority of viewers but I see you @netflix.com

First step: Hash out the truth of the Epstein files and hold those involved accountable. Second step: Figure out how the hell this has stayed hidden for 7 years, and hold THOSE people accountable.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

So @kaine.senate.gov is one of the 10 senators that caved for a pinky promise. Strategically selected I’m sure because he’s not up for reelection until 2028. We Virginians will remember this. For the love of god somebody primary him.

Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

The nazi salute that Musk gave at inauguration and Charlie Kirk's murderer's radicalization are cut from the same perpetually-online-internet-meme-and-troll-culture. And it's pretty scary on both fronts.

The “text messages” between Robinson and his roommate are so clearly doctored that Candace Owens is calling it out. The queston is, now that the FBI and DOJ has so clearly shown they’re willing to fabricate evidence, how can the public ever trust in our institutions again? Incalculable damage.

Ben Powell @whasianrockstar.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

IF we are ever able to wrest power from the fascists currently running our country, our leaders can’t be shy about quickly and authoritatively undoing all the damage that’s been done, even though the right will cry wolf like they’ve always done.

All this “daddy” trump stuff is rooted in A) Christian / religious parenting culture where the father MUST be obeyed and never questioned and B) some sort of weird sexual fetish.

When I was 18, I believed Colin Powell when he said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Now I’m older, and I believe wiser, and I don’t believe for a second that Iran is “days away” from a nuclear weapon. This compilation from the daily show is it: youtube.com/shorts/JC56L...

Around the time of Snyder's Man of Steel I remember reading about how studios were struggling with the concept of superman, a seemingly simplistic "good guy" hero in a complicated time. But I actually think we've come full circle where we could use a hero like superman. youtu.be/nZTgJy8ym34?...

What I really want to talk about is how our economy went from 2.4% growth in Q4 2024 to a CONTRACTION of 0.3% for Q1 2025 (reut.rs/3YQiNSE), but instead all I can think about is this very real tweet from Lindsay Graham.

As I seek to define my current political stance I realized I’ve been using progressive, liberal, and leftist like they’re the same thing when they’re not. From DuckDuckGo’s ai:

Liberals generally advocate for individual freedoms and moderate reforms within existing political systems, while leftists seek more radical changes and often support socialist principles. Progressives can overlap with both groups but typically focus on social justice and systemic reforms to address inequality and promote social progress.

So the leak about the 90 day pause was legit and the only reason the White House denied it was because they and their buddies didn’t have time to cash in on the market yet. That about right?

Is it possible Trump just asked AI what to do re: Tariffs and then implemented what it spit out? Apparently Chat GPT, gemini, claude, and grok came up with the same solution which is.... surprise surprise, exactly what Trump announced yesterday. www.reddit.com/r/LeopardsAt...
