    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    Maybe an unpopular opinion on the left, but I don’t actually give a fuck really. It’s not that I support using political motivations for firing someone, but if they’re just investigating and firing prosecutors for overzealous sentencing or abuses, I’m actually kind of on board. There were some...

    I need JoJo and the Lincoln Project idiots to do this bit on Tax Day. “IRS shocks the world, reduces deficit by $2 trillion in just one week!”

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    Worth noting that this isn’t true unless you consider Iranian assets that we’d plundered from them to be US taxpayer money.

    I paid $3.37 a gallon today, and it felt jarringly high, but I’ll admit I am always and forever baffled by how gas prices seem to be portrayed by whichever President is in power compared to what I see at the gas pump.

    Setting aside the humor of further restricting the already limited pool of who benefits from this tax change, what would stop someone like a hairdresser or barber from charging $1 for a haircut but including a gratuity of the rest of the amount? I think they kind of have to grapple with how...

    Not really though? He was way more progressive *before* his stroke, so I’m not sure having your brain break right before your rightward shift is helpful.

    Don’t get me wrong, Hegseth absolutely strikes me as a guy who will tell a woman she’d be pretty if she smiled more, but this is so dumb, man. Not every public statement needs to be scrutinized for gendered language and it’s one of the main things the left gets wrong.

    Second ('Third') Trump Presidency Thread

    I’m not big on the FAFO trend because people generally shouldn’t be mocked for going through a hardship because of the federal government, but if your business depended on foreign labor to this extent and you voted for the guy looking to do mass deportations, yeah you kind of had that one coming...

    Legal/scotus thread

    This seems like the proper ruling but if we’re still funding Medicaid in these states the same regardless, I sure hope they find a viable alternative for access to certain care (and I don’t mean abortions).

    Some Red State/Blue State Indicia

    Keep in mind, this is the city many of you are crying is *about to* become a Commie hellhole and must be saved. Maybe the city folk just like different things sometimes.

    Hear me out, maybe the problem isn’t Fetterman’s Centrism, it’s that he’s just grown to be a stupid asshole.

    Why Academics Leftists and Elitists Need to Treat Ordinary Americans With Respect

    100%. Everybody involved deserves to be cast out of the party honestly. But this party is big dumb if you haven’t noticed.

    Listen, all I’m saying is the number of people who will defend this argument in between rage-tweeting about New York nominating a Socialist is going to be way, way higher than it has any business being. This dude is just outright asking why the increased taxes being collected by the Federal...

    Why Academics Leftists and Elitists Need to Treat Ordinary Americans With Respect

    Ron D ran against Trump and he would have done everything the voters wanted but not in an insane way that makes the courts waste their time. I would have hated him.

    Why Academics Leftists and Elitists Need to Treat Ordinary Americans With Respect

    To be fair, that’s every bit as much an indictment on the Republican Party as it is the Democratic Party. Trump didn’t just ascend to the throne, Republicans couldn’t offer a viable alternative to him either.

    119th Congress or Red Wave In Adult Land

    Trump is doing trade, all domestic and foreign policy and budgets, so let’s check in on how the Legislative Branch is spending their surplus time…

    The Biden Presidency

    My favorite feature of the Trump Administration thus far is the declaration that something someone did was massively illegal followed by the utter confusion by MAGA for months when that person isn’t arrested for the actually not really illegal thing they did.
