Honestly there are so many worse things they could be buying

The fact that they are florsheims is just perfect. A once great American brand that now sells cheaply made shoes.

So the shoegate I understand it is this:

1. Trump equals shoe size to dick size
2. Trump asks Rubio, Hegseth and the rest of the ilk about their shoe size.
3. They all yell, like 10, 11, big, huge.
4. Trump buys those for them, and they shamble around in shoes twice their size.

Trump isn’t so good at this sizing thing. Someone needs to get him a brannock device

This needs to be immortalized.

But espresso + vinegar and cayenne?

I believe the phrase for this is “eating the seed corn.”

Launching unprovoked wars without elite buy in means there will be no rally. The rally something that just spontaneously happens, it is something you build before you go to war

People really need to think about causality. It isn’t go to war -> high approval. Traditionally the administration builds a compelling case for war, the other party buys in and actively supports (or stops criticizing), and by the time you go to war, there is elevated approval from all sides

Once again they have a very different definition of “transparent” from the rest of us

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

How I arrived on bluesky

"none of this would be happening if Charlie Kirk were still alive": deranged, fever swamp-addled conspiracy bullshit

"none of this would be happening if Jeffrey Epstein were still alive": serious, well-evidenced geopolitical analysis

Not a lawyer but it seems bad when a judge says this to you

One of my parents friends bought a second of the favorite stuffed animal as soon as their child established it. They then rotated the two of them to gain even patina in case disaster ever struck. I always thought this was nuts until my child established her favorite. I haven't done it, but I get it

“I am the son of the guy whose secret police force used to terrorize you, please install me or my friends, for democracy” is an amazing pitch from the shah’s son

“Or so” doing a lot of heavy lifting

It’s a little difficult to get mad at liberals who say they’re not upset that Khamenei is dead if you’ve ever talked to, like, one (1) Iranian expat.

That’s not in contradiction to this being a terrible idea and understanding that this likely does nothing but make things worse.

Operation Jeffrey Epstein? Never heard of the guy

We're doing amazing things in the area of insider trading.

We're all trapped in the twisted reality of a few because they lack the imagination to see other people as human. That's literally it.

Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war

James Franco being executed by hanging. "First time?" he asks, as though he's been hanged before.

hey gen z welcome to republican governance

If somebody attempts a coup, and then they’re not held accountable by elites and institutions, the public will draw the conclusion that it’s not a big deal.

You think "the online left" is unhinged, dog please talk to an independent voter IRL. They want universal healthcare and abolish taxes. They want to dissolve the coast guard. They want to rename the army the coast guard. They want their alien implants removed, and they also want more alien implants

Just forge a diploma. Its faster and cheaper than paying for college to have an AI agent do everything

They never could because red state leadership wouldn't want to be left out. People like Greg Abbott and Ron DeSantis would try to butch themselves up by showing they could do it too. Classic prisoners dilemma for them.
