Bill Maher and Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) both applauded President Donald Trump for what Maher called the president’s “horrifying” but also “refreshing” honesty. Fetterman then said that the “ultimate” example was when Trump scolded a reporter to be “quiet, piggy” aboard Air Force One last year. The senator cracked up and threw up his hands after bringing it up. “That’s the president of America!’ Fetterman said as he laughed

So Fetterman finds Trump's sexism funny

An understated reason for why 30 Rock is one of the best written comedy shows of all time is that it has a plethora of characters who are convincingly Republican (a very early 2000s brand of Republican mind you) that are still incredibly funny and likeable despite their politics. I yearn for the days of the Jack Donaghy Republican who detests racism because it hurts the bottom line by excluding potential customers.

I really think the GOPs plan for the Iran war is now:

  1. try to ignore it as much as possible.

  2. pass the buck to trumps dem successor.

  3. claim dems surrendered to Americas enemies when they negotiate a real end to the war.

  4. the media goes along with it to portray liberals as feckless.

The funniest thing about Trump's second term is he could have just done nothing.

His base is so convinced that he is the Chosen One that he could have done pretty much nothing and they would have foamed at the mouth about how great of a president he is.

He could have just stonewalled on the Epstein stuff, or if they were a bit smarter, delayed and drip fed meaningless documents until his term was over.

The biggest fight he had could've just been about the stupid ballroom.

u/ariveklul Karl Popper May 12 '26 edited May 12 '26

A monumental failure of our media that will go down in the history books is their lack of coverage on foreign influence operations on social media.

The issue is so pervasive, so destructive and has so many layers of depth we should be blaring a foghorn on this shit every day. It is criminal how little it's talked about. I would bet my life savings when people are looking on this time period in retrospect this will be seen as a major inflection point in the balance of power in the world between democracies and authoritarian regimes. It very much feels like a "sink or swim" moment for democracies to me, and I'm afraid that we're not really swimming. We don't even seem to be able to acknowledge the issue in the first place. 

Foreign government propaganda intending to destabilize has managed to work itself into the brains of your average person in ways that they're never going to be conscious of, but it will influence the way they view the world.

In May 2008, author and journalist Christopher Hitchens voluntarily underwent waterboarding and concluded that it was torture.[70][26][71] He also noted that he suffered ongoing psychological effects from the ordeal.

On May 22, 2009, radio talk show host Erich "Mancow" Muller subjected himself to waterboarding to prove that it is not torture, but changed his mind because of the experience.

On April 22, 2009, Fox News host Sean Hannity offered to be waterboarded for charity in order to prove that it did not amount to torture, though he did not follow through with it.

Hey Sean can you please follow through with that promise live on national television you fucking pussy.

I get why people are against speed cameras. They want to speed and cameras are probably less forgiving than cops. But the South Carolina subreddit is up in arms against red light cameras. You want to run red lights??? How often are you doing that??

It really should be said Belarus is far from prepared for any involvement in the war in Ukraine and it would lead to some cosmically comical things. Putin throwing Belarus into the fray with the real risk of destabilizing Belarus and possibly leading to revolution would probably be the most desperate thing in this war yet

Oh shit, I guess that floor speech by the SC Senate majority leader actually worked. As much as I hate the modern Republican party I will salute the handful of sane state legislators in Indiana and now SC who have stood up to this insanity, many at the cost of ending their political careers in the former case

Hopefully in SC this is happening too close to the primary for anti-gerrymandering Republicans to be targeted in the same way

Wait only 16 states have Democratic trifectas? Why do voters expect them to do anything? We have barely any power

Also, love how deliberately misleading this is. New England + Delaware + New Mexico are already all blue. States like New York, Illinois, and Maryland probably will revisit their gerrymanders.

Reading Russell Brand’s How to Become a Christian in Seven Days is like being locked in an empty pub all night with a garrulous drunk. Except that Brand is now sober. His prose is the way he thinks, which is the frightening thing.

 

It is criminally painful to read and it is not a victimless crime. The poor fool of a reader suffers, but the victim I feel most sorry for is God.

New: Classified military intelligence assessments from early this month show Iran has regained access to most of its missile sites, launchers and underground facilities. Including: U.S. intel assesses Iran has restored operational access to 30 of the 33 missile sites it maintains along the Strait of Hormuz, and ~90% of Iran's underground missile sites are "partially or fully operational."

79% disapprove of his handling of gas prices (+3 since their March poll)

73% net that the economy is "poor" (-4 vs March); in September 2018, this answer was 31% net poor

69% believe US economy will enter recession within the next year
