Vivek Ramaswamy struggles to gain traction with Iowa Republicans as critics question his path ahead

Jump

  • He doesn't need an endgame. He has name recognition now, and he can ride the wingnut welfare circuit for as long as he likes.

    • Argentina elects 'shock therapy' libertarian Javier Milei as president

    Jump

  • If by shock therapy you mean the electric chair...

    • Argentina's president-elect wants public companies in private hands, with media first to go

    Jump

  • And he knows just the people to run those companies! After all, he's a transactional kinda guy.

    • Tux-Wearing Christian Nationalists Laugh About Their Influence, Live From Mar-A-Lago

    Jump

  • If these assholes get power, what will happen to me and my LGBT friends?

    • Trump and Bolsonaro salute Javier Milei as far right rejoice around the world

    Jump

  • If Trump and Bolsonaro like you, you're a scumbag.

    • US existing home sales fall to lowest level in more than 13 years

    Jump

  • I checked the value of my home on Zillow. It's crazy high. Like, ridiculously high. And now interest rates have gone up.

    • Elon Musk’s X sues media watchdog Media Matters over report on pro-Nazi content on the social media site

    Jump

  • Elon may find a sympathetic judge though...

    • Elon Musk’s X sues media watchdog Media Matters over report on pro-Nazi content on the social media site

    Jump

  • Elon wants a far right judge, and Texas and the Fifth Circuit is the place to look for one.

    • Republicans celebrate Javier Milei's "historic" win in Argentina

    Jump

  • Republicans, libertarians, conservatives--are they getting rather fascist lately or what?

    • X/Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino Shares “Truth” On Antisemitic Posts Next To Ads On Platform Following Media Fallout: “Data Wins Over Manipulation Or Allegations”

    Jump

  • What's the right word for her? Chump? Patsy? Fall girl? Scapegoat? Schnook? Apologist? Stool pigeon? Puppet? Mouthpiece?

    • In Wake Of 18 Murdered In Yet Another Mass Shooting, NRA-Funded Federal Agency Trains Children To Shoot Guns

    Jump

  • I'm as anti-NRA as anybody, but 4-H teaching kids to shoot is not a big deal. I taught at a high school in Los Angeles that used to have a shooting range. It also had a marching band. Both are gone. Cutbacks, focus on the required classes, no money for frilly electives.

    • Yaccarino On Hot Seat As Ad Execs Urge Twitter CEO To Resign

    Jump

  • That's what she was hired for: to take the heat off the man baby. Glass cliff.

    • Trump vows to kill Asia trade deal being pursued by Biden if elected

    Jump

  • Biden needs to endorse breathing so Trump can urge his followers to hold their breath to fight the globalist menace of oxygen.

    • Orcas Pummel Boat After Crew Tries To Deter Them With Heavy Metal Music

    Jump

  • There's whole lot of genres of music to shuffle through before we may find the genre that drives away orcas. Maybe there's no genre of music that drives away orcas. You know how people say of ethnic groups they don't belong to that y'all look alike to us? Maybe all human music sounds alike to orcas.

    • DeSantis won't condemn Musk for endorsing an antisemitic post. 'I did not see the comment,' he says

    Jump

  • The article goes on to point out that DeSantis was shown Elon's comment and then still refused to condemn it. Rhonda's statement against antisemitism rings very hollow when he refuses to denounce antisemitism that's shown to him.

    • Trump heads to US-Mexico border as he escalates anti-immigrant rhetoric

    Jump

  • Ages ago, I read a Joseph Wambaugh book about a group of cops tasked with law enforcement at the border. It made fun of people who travel to the border to step in some coyote shit and become instant border issue experts. I remember that every time some politician or Elon travels to the border to become an instant border issue expert.

    • We are living in a disconnected world, when did we start rewarding bad behavior? And when did bad behavior become so commonplace?

    • Elon Musk vows ‘thermonuclear lawsuit’ as advertisers flee X over antisemitism

    Jump

  • It's not just a lawsuit, it's thermonuclear lawsuit! His lawyers better handle it carefully, lest they be blown into itty bitty pieces. Elon stopped maturing at about the age of fourteen.

    • Elon Musk goes thermonuclear as X bleeds advertisers post antisemitic conspiracy theory controversy

    Jump

  • So Media Matters doesn't reflect the user experience on Twitter? Cause I left Twitter because there was nothing but far-right propaganda on my feed. That was my user experience, Elon.

    • Biden Campaign Starts Reminding America Why It Dumped Trump In The First Place

    Jump

  • Tax cuts for the rich running up the deficit. The horribly botched COVID response. And the attempted coup. Not to mention all the other crap. Biden's right: our democracy is at stake. Check out Trump's statements and Project 2025. Tuberville is blocking military promotions for a reason, and it ain't abortion.
