“Oh I know, the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.”

Yes, that’s the lesson of the Holocaust. If in your mind the lesson of the Holocaust is that Israel gets one free genocide, you are fucking psychotic.

Nearly half of Americans, 49 percent, say that the best times of the country are behind them

This has been true since Reagan gutted the New Deal.

Let them eat big macs.

This guy. The couple filing the suit share the last name Voorhees.

If you’re sending Jason anyways you might as well have him fix the Supreme Court.

This article should be tagged NSFL because reading these cretins more or less claim no one could have possibly known what Trump was going to do nearly triggered a stroke and aneurysm in me.

I mean, it’s a political memes community. I think it being a joke should probably be assumed.

JD will not be as batshit.

Considering his connections to Peter Thiel I’m not so sure about that. But what matters is that he won’t be able to wield the cult of personality that has formed around Trump the way Trump can.

This should be expected. It’s his answer to all bad news, just don’t look at it. Don’t test for covid, don’t give weather services access to satellite info, ignore economic indicators and make up your own numbers. The pattern is clear. This asshole has lived such a privileged life that substituting reality with his own vision has worked out for him thus far. Let’s see if it keeps working.

Absolutely nobody thinks of Dean fucking Cain when they think of Superman. Except Dean Cain, probably, but he’s a nobody so my point stands.

Sometimes Republican voters don’t come out, though.

I’ve heard of having two first names. But two first names concatenated to make a first name? I’d say that’s new except “Markwayne” wasn’t exactly born yesterday.

Is Rupert Murdoch trying to take Trump down before he kicks it? I’m under the impression they are (were?) allies of convenience and didn’t have a lot of love for each other. I can’t think of why else the Wall Street Journal of all newspapers would be going after this story so hard.

It’s infrastructure tariff week.

I wonder what all the people who shamed 3rd party voters will say if establishment Democrats start throwing their support behind an independent Cuomo.

The French Revolution was ultimately a bourgeois revolution that signalled the transfer of power from aristocrats to capitalists. It’s fine to enjoy the aesthetics of it but we will have to go further than the French did.

Don’t Republicans hate New York? You’d think they’d be thrilled with the opportunity for socialism to ruin one of the bluest cities in the US. Maybe they’re worried something else will happen.

Personally I reserve downvotes for rulebreaking, offensive comments, spam, things of that nature. Differences of opinion I just don’t upvote. Perhaps this is more common on Lemmy than other places.
