- Reposted by Another face in the crowdtheres a very 1850s cycle in our politics where democrats are punished for punching back (basket of deplorables, clutching their guns, etc) while republicans are punished for *not* punching back
- Reposted by Another face in the crowd"Were we too mean to the lying charlatans currently dismantling the nation's scientific apparatus out of spite and greed" yes this is the aspect of the pandemic we should be revisiting
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdThe resurrection of this guy as some sort of scientific martyr is unbearably bleak. He was wrong about COVID and recommended policies that would have resulted in hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths! Why is his marginalization anything other than a societal good?
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdthe serving president is plainly in steep mental decline and that almost certainly is contributing to the most dog-brained tariff policy in world history? don't care. the real scandal is that in 2024, we only published a mere 10,000 stories about Biden being old
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdthe other thing here is that yes, Biden was old as shit in office, that rightly was a major story. but SO WAS TRUMP and it got 0.001% as much attention
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdKeep saying it but stuff like facially-apolitical drive time radio is a bigger factor for low-info voters than people think. Especially the general sentiment around "is the economy good" and "is the president competent."
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdit's very tough for any of this stuff to break through because Dems lack an equivalent of Vichy Twitter or Fox News that promotes these stunts for them. People literally do not hear about them unless there's a discourse cycle over how stupid they are.
- Reposted by Another face in the crowd*cable news host who ran more 2024 segments on trumps claim that kamala harris isnt really Black than segments on what due process would look like for trumps mass deportation*: “ive taken time to reflect and im sorry i didnt say joe biden was old more”
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdpolitical journalists obsess over the public’s lack of trust in our profession but strangely see that as downstream of things like “we didn’t talk enough about how biden was old” and not “many of us appear to be indifferent to a nihilistic attack on the constitution”
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdKamala Harris will be blamed for losing in 2024, but she and the Democrats who helped push Biden out helped avert a blowout, which would have further empowered Trump's attack on the constitutional order
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdi'm losing it
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdthis is the best one imo
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdpretty funny that believing “he was seeing how far DHS would go as a cautionary tale” is real and not a hasty post hoc explanation is supposed to be evidence that the modal Hasan listener is *not* an impressionable dumbass
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdThe Nation was spoon-fed documents from a bad-faith Republican House committee and covered them as if they were a scandal. The more I look into the lab leak the more shocked I am at how desperately the media tried to launder the theory into something respectable. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdThis isn’t a global economic slowdown. It’s not an exogenous series of shocks. It’s the work of one man and one political party. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/xi-schlong...
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdA swath of media acts like the biggest victims of COVID were people who speculated that it leaked from a lab and received replies on social media like “no evidence, conspiracy theorist, stop it” instead of “I doubt it, the epidemiological evidence indicates otherwise, but can’t totally rule it out.”

- Reposted by Another face in the crowdI think he gets off on it because Trumpism’s entire political identity is a persecution complex built around other people having enough of your shit.
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdit’s funny seeing the pro-Trump tech guys either go “oh shit we fucked up”, or go down this path of increasingly elaborate fanfiction about massive ambitious technically complex projects that the administration will 100% do for real, I’m serious guys.

- Reposted by Another face in the crowdit will take generations for the US to rebuild its credibility to the extent anyone overseas will ever help us again. A complete betrayal of any Afghans who assisted US forces there for no good reason whatsoever.
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdYou morons I’m taking a *public* bribe
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdthis won’t work. blaming the Dems might; pretending things are going great won’t.
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdthis is an extremely good point. as is so often the case the American right is recapitulating and realizing its own conspiracy theories only on its own behalf. They're literally importing people who are already overt Trump superfans in their country of origin.
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdalso notable here that Hasan is a native-born US citizen.

- Reposted by Another face in the crowdIn 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers. In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them. So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdoh and because they changed the tariffs again today I am legally required to remind you that THEY COULD EXEMPT BANANAS FROM THE TARIFFS AT ANY TIME IT WOULD TAKE FIVE SECONDS AND THEY WONT DO IT

- Reposted by Another face in the crowdit's crazy to see the Overton window shift in real time before Election Day everyone thought 10% universal tariffs was beyond stupid and would never actually happen now we're all sighing with relief that he's lowering tariffs on China to a mere 30%
- Reposted by Another face in the crowdThere is no plan. There is no 3D chess. The president has a toddler’s understanding of the economy and will continue to just do things (and then undo them, and then do them again).

- Reposted by Another face in the crowdi think this is complicated by the fact that PEPFAR saved several times more lives than Iraq ended, and Trump illegally ended PEPFAR
- It never ceases to amaze me that the response of elite journalists to the courts making anything but the most obvious and flagrant examples of bribery/corruption legal was to internalize those new definitions as obvious and immutable, and condescend to people who use the terms in any other way
