  • Yeah, doesn't look like a punch to me either, but just looking up the IG account that's tagged on here I kinda wouldn't be surprised if they did post an image of a woman getting punched given all the other right wing stuff there

    Fwiw, I think yoinking a good pun off a bad account on a bad website and posting it to a better website makes the world a better place

  • Hard to say anything for sure anymore given how we're all several layers of irony deep at any point, but I think that may in fact be the joke (or part of it anyway)

  • Kamala Harris comes out swinging for Supreme Court expansion to take down ‘red state cheating’

    Jump

  • Speaking to Emerge, Harris raised the idea of Supreme Court reform “including the notion of expanding the court.”

    That's coming out swinging? Maybe if she releases a signed public statement saying she supports court expansion and if she thinks an un-filibuster-able bill would be an appropriate way to do so regardless of what the Senate Parliamentarian says I'd believe it, but this seems so vague it's meaningless.

  • Drake Fans & BTS Army Clash After Spotify Botches Streaming Record: Spotify admitted it manually miscounted streams and handed Drake a 2026 record that actually belongs to BTS and their song “Swim.”

    Jump

  • Seems like that lawsuit was mainly about Drake accusing Kendrick's record distributor of defaming Drake by publishing that song, and that lawsuit got dismissed on free speech grounds

  • How he addressed it was by cutting enhanced unemployment insurance and dropping plans for stimulus checks. edit - while also pursuing an infrastructure bill that pumped a ton of money into businesses

    Not to mention, the affordability crisis were facing is... a consistent systemic issue with both.

    No kidding, and yet here we are arguing underneath an article pretending the Democratic party doesn't have this policy problem

  • Drake Fans & BTS Army Clash After Spotify Botches Streaming Record: Spotify admitted it manually miscounted streams and handed Drake a 2026 record that actually belongs to BTS and their song “Swim.”

    Jump

  • He has been accused multiple times and there have been a couple of lawsuits against Spotify for allegedly letting it happen, but as far as I can tell nobody has been able to definitively prove anything because Spotify just waves their mandatory arbitration clause around and shuts down lawsuits before discovery can happen

  • Drake Fans & BTS Army Clash After Spotify Botches Streaming Record: Spotify admitted it manually miscounted streams and handed Drake a 2026 record that actually belongs to BTS and their song “Swim.”

    Jump

  • The real story here is Spotify almost definitely got caught frauding streaming numbers to prop up Drake's career, but since we don't have their CEO confessing to literally doing that in 8K everyone's going to run with Spotify's "oopsie" story about this and get distracted watching k-pop and hip hop people bicker with each other

  • When Will Americans Realize the Truth? Republicans Wreck the Economy.

    Jump

  • We had a real chance to start building an economy that works for most people by building on top of the emergency anti-poverty measures COVID forced governments to put in place, but as soon as a Dem moved into the white house again Republicans all suddenly remembered they hate that stuff and Dems figured they'd get applauded for being "responsible" or some bullshit by doing exactly what they wanted (because that worked out so well for us when Obama did austerity, or when Clinton cut welfare, or etc.)

  • When Will Americans Realize the Truth? Republicans Wreck the Economy.

    Jump

  • Except household hunger measures started to improve in 2021 (arc) but then they reversed course and got worse every other year Biden was in office, in large part because he terminated enhanced UI and killed stimulus checks and a bunch of other pandemic aid that never should have ended. Americans didn't suffer under Biden because of COVID, it was intentional policy choices his administration made because they wanted to say things were "back to normal".

  • When Will Americans Realize the Truth? Republicans Wreck the Economy.

    Jump

  • Donald Trump inherited an economy from Joe Biden that was perhaps not firing on all cylinders but was in pretty good shape all the same.

    Meanwhile, in reality (arc)

    the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its Household Food Security in the United States report, assessing that 13.7 percent of U.S. households were food insecure in 2024, marking the highest prevalence of U.S. food insecurity in nearly a decade.

    Biden's "perhaps not firing on all cylinders" economy was crap for poor people. "But whatabout the Republicans" will get you 2-4 years in office to leave your constituency twisting in the wind while you tell them things are actually good, and then your campaigns will collapse just like Harris did and Republicans will win by default yet again.

    If you really want to break that cycle, we need better policies and we need to communicate the fact that we understand that Biden's economy was crap. Arguing with the voters that it was actually pretty good is just a ticket out of office.

  • Insane and outrageous attempted corruption, but if there isn't at least a lawsuit filed about this by the end of the day bringing this whole thing right back to the judicial scrutiny they're trying to worm out of I will be amazed

    Not that I have much more faith in federal courts than I do in the executive branch at this point, but hopefully the optics of this are too toxic for even them

  • ‘The party has sailed its ship’: ex-Republican runs as Democrat for Georgia governor’s seat

  • Seriously, them and all their rich friends can go give fancy speeches about nothing and raise money for museums or animal shelters for retired dressage horses or some other rich weirdo thing and that actually would be doing public service in a more real way than they ever have before

  • Also, how about he considers what's best for the country? Like, what, I'm supposed to care if a bunch of Republican leaders end up unemployed? Worse things happen to better people all the time in the world they have built.

  • George Conway’s Campaign Platform, In Full: Trump Is Hitler In The Bunker And Must Be Impeached Before He Destroys The Country | George Conway on a podcast doing George Conway things.

    Jump

  • Trump is a symptom, not the cause. The underlying cause is a Republican party that abandoned political decency decades ago when they welcomed Dixecrats into their parties in the 1960s as a way of shoehorning unpopular anti-tax and deregulatory politics into a democratic political system that had rejected those things. It was a problem when John McCain was complaining about making MLK day a holiday, it was a problem when George HW ran the Willie Horton ad, it was a problem when Newt Gingrich was saying racist crap about welfare queens, it was a problem when George W Bush blamed 9/11 on Iraq because they were brown, and on and on.

    George Conway was a happy member of that party for most of his life and is only now recognizing the problems with what he built in the most superficial of ways. Ultimately he just represents a previous step on a path that was always inevitably going to end up here. The answer isn't trying to go back, it's about getting on a whole new path.
