Cable television networks have been in a steady decline for a long time, but post-covid most of them have just turned into complete shit. Channel after channel it's just reality-show crap that gets more and more crass and vulgar and exploitative every year, fewer and fewer scripted series, and...

I don't think I've ever seen a message board Trumper who didn't insist that they were an "independent thinker" who wasn't loyal to either party and never watched or listened to Fox News or Newsmax or other right-wing social and news media. Instead they "objectively" only consulted other sources...

Agree completely - just release the damn files and let the chips fall where they may. If Democrats are named on the list and they go down then so be it - they richly deserve to be prosecuted and if found guilty imprisoned. One of the biggest differences between Democrats & Republicans right now...

Yep. After taking power and gaining total control of the German government, the Nazis conducted a purge of their own party members. It was called the "Night of the Long Knives" and leaders of the Nazi brownshirts, or SA, were killed as they were seen as a threat by other party members and...

These people really are truly insane, and have lost all touch with reality. If Hillary and Obama were arrested and executed by Trumpers there is no doubt that people like her would be ecstatic and would honestly think that justice had been served. Meanwhile she gives a total pass to Dear Leader.

Or the old Bill Brasky sketches from SNL. Insert Trump's name into the quotes below from old SNL Brasky sketches and it fits the mindset of white male MAGAs almost perfectly. "Bill Brasky once showed me a video of him making love to my wife, and it was the most beautiful thing I ever saw!"...

"He probably was aiming for an evil LibDem or immigrant and just missed and hit me instead. And even if he was aiming at me I probably deserved it in some way - Dear Leader is the greatest and wisest of men and knows all and sees all. I'm sure he had good reasons for shooting me! MAGA, baby!"

Agreed, but right now I'm thinking short-term for 2026 as the survival of our democracy and constitutional government is likely at stake. No doubt Democrats have loads of problems that need fixing, but with Dear Leader in charge it's trying to fix one problem at a time.

This has been discussed many times on this board - that the current unpopularity of Democrats has less to do with general public opposition to Democratic policies (most of which poll very well) but rather with the frustration and anger of many Democrats towards the party leadership and how...

True, and he turned out to be a terrible candidate. And yet with all that and even after his extramarital affair was exposed before the election he still only lost by less than two percent, and might well have won had the affair not happened (my god, how stupid and arrogant he was). NC Democrats...

Indeed. What worries me is that Paramount does own properties like the Star Trek franchise, which is famous for promoting a very diverse view of the future. I'm wondering if the new owners of Paramount will try to start interfering with things like that. There's no limit to what our new...

What a load of horseshit this is. Kennedy had his flaws, but he and especially his wife were major supporters of the arts, including having people like famed cellist Pablo Casals perform at the White House in 1961. I seriously doubt it will happen, but it's just another example of Congressional...

Sadly, this has become a regular, expected weekly news story from the Religious Right, and in some weeks there are multiple stories along these lines. Maybe instead of worrying about transgenders using women's restrooms, people should be worrying about these kinds of folks being near their kids.

If Trump had only been elected president at the beginning of civilization, there would never have been any wars! The world would only have known peace and prosperity for thousands of years!

They're all weird and strange and creepy as hell - that's why the whole "they're weird!" line of attack was working so well last year, until Democrats suddenly stopped using it. Walz was spot-on when he said that, and you could tell that it was really getting under their skin, because it was true.
