The political culture of the contemporary GOP is indistinguishable from that of the school shooter community

Right-Wing Attacks on James Talarico Are a Reminder That Christian Extremism Is Official Republican Policy The reaction to Talarico's Christian rhetoric demonstrates the ways in which far-right theology is about underwriting misogyny and racism.

Right-wing Christians and even the NRSC have lined up to mock James Talarico’s inclusive, open-hearted Christianity.

Some have even called it blasphemy.

But the Christ of the outsider and the poor is a threat to their political power.

I hope the first thing this task force does is inform Pete Hegseth about what happens in the war colleges he's never attended - or apparently, even visited - because all this stuff isn't it.
He has no idea what he's talking about here, but that's no surprise.

The entire Republican Party is beyond redemption at this point. I can’t predict how it will end, but I know it’s not going to end well.

Modern Republicanism is making up a thing to be scared about and then using that as the basis for policy

It’s Sad and pathetic like all MAGA

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.

They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

Bwwwaaahhhaaa rural maga being sent to die in the middle east over and over

But at least there won’t be trans women in sports

These fucking assholes better get a lifetime rittenhouse treatment these absolute fucking worthless garbage humans

There is no harm that could come to any Trump supporter that would not be earned and deserved. They can go fuck themselves.

Jesus, she’s fucking stupid. What is her sport boxing?

Something like 80% of them voted for this and every MAGA that loses a generational farm because of Trump is pure joy to me fuck these assholes

Chris Murphy: “They have NO plan to open up the Strait of Hormuz — a totally foreseeable result of a military action against Iran—

It’s getting worse, not better as Iran is now mining the Strait — if the Strait is closed for weeks or months more, that’s a global economic catastrophe”

Officer having anxiety attack took ambulance sent for man dying from police shooting, report says A man who was shot by Connecticut police last year and later died had to wait 10 extra minutes for another ambulance to arrive at the scene, after another officer having an anxiety attack took the fir...

Black man gets shot in the back while running from police. Ambulance comes for HIM, but a police officer is having an anxiety attack, so... they give her the ambulance. Black man dies. Hmm. 🤨

The family is understandably outraged.

It is extremely important to actively crush the people who think Democrats should still treat Israel like it did between 2021-2025.

God they are just so fucking stupid.

The debt is because we’ve spent decades, giving tax cuts to rich people and spending on billionaire wars for oil not because some guy is an analyst at the Social Security administration.

Fuck this absolute trash human

"Covid will be over in two weeks. Gone by Easter"
"We're signing a health care plan within two weeks"
"They’re dying, Russians & Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours"

Based on his record, this isn’t ending anytime soon.

I feel like people talk a lot about fascism, but in practice they don't really understand how it works.

fascism's whole appeal is exactly this; it packages traditional bigotries as innovative and edgy. 1

Gen. Grynkewich: "What I've observed over the course of studying air power in history is that any time you attack a civilian population, you usually end up finding that it just hardens their resolve."

1) horrific, abominable decision that leaves no doubt IDF discipline needs to happen in international courts rather than internally.

2) be cool if we could stop redefining the blood libel

At every shipping company that isn't a fly-by-night shell company, there's a low-level manager named "Bull." Bull's advice was disregarded once; a lot of people died or were fired and it was very expensive. So when Bull says no to something, it doesn't happen, and Bull thinks the Strait "looks bad."

It's great we gave psychopaths the keys to the Republic because egg prices were a little high.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

No idea at all what will happen in 2028, but if it's going to be someone from the Senate, this guy gets it & communicates it in ways that guys like Mark Kelly most certainly do not.

If you lost your job because of DOGE, this will enrage you.

They built a whole-ass crusade around “DEI,” then sent a staffer into a deposition who couldn’t even define it.

Justin Fox’s and his assignment was to help flag grants for elimination based on a term he struggled to explain under oath. 🥴

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.

It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.

Because Republicans are fucking trash humans and there’s not a single one of them that experiences any harm that would not bring joy

Every maga who loses the generational farm is pure nectar of the gods

This is correct because despite their veneer as good, but maybe misinformed people

deep down, they know they’re fucking trash their resentments stems from them knowing that we also know they’re fucking trash

Sweeny Todd sings "They all deserve to die."
