Cathartic.

Sometimes you need to punch the bully in the mouth.

Shocked! Just shocked

Trump's businesses rake in millions in campaign funds
The former president has funneled campaign donations to his businesses, converting the enthusiasm of his political supporters into personal profit

Trump himself has been the biggest spender, both this year and over the last decade. Between his three presidential campaigns, Trump and associated political groups have funneled more than $28 million in campaign donations to his businesses – helping convert the enthusiasm of his political supporters into personal profit.

I mean, he started doing this in 2015. It's the whole reason he ran for president in the first place. Of course he's still doing it.

Harris campaign has now fundraised about .7 Star Citizens, and has more individual donors than Biden's 15-month 2020 campaign.

I simultaneously approve and deeply disapprove of the use of this unit of measurement.

When we hit 1 Star Citizen does that mean it will release?

That's when we get President Chris Roberts. Star Citizen has just been a sleeper 2024 campaign fundraiser this entire time.

Yes*

*The path to 1 Star Citizen is asymptotic

Why would it? It didn't for Star Citizen.

The online RW response to Tim Walz's son has been completely predictable, and also they are never beating the "weird" allegations.

An entire party whose only animation appears to be hatred and cruelty.

Brain Worm Bobby is out and is supporting Trump but not officially.. wink wink

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Friday he’s suspending his independent presidential bid and will seek to remove his name from the ballot in battleground states because he believes his presence in the race would help Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

The man lies all the time so we shouldn't be surprised but this one was out of left field even for him

The longer he talks the more he sounds like an AI hallucination just spewing garbage.

The brain worm didn't sign it.

Wow. Must be rough when your own family doesn't like you.

Hmm... what does that remind me of...

TLDR.

"Dearest Bobby,
f*ck off.
Sincerely,
The Fam"

Perhaps what I am about to type is "unkind", but everything I have observed in the last week has led me to this inexorable conclusion.

The reason Walz and his family infuriates Republicans beyond the point of anything we can identify as rationality is because his entire life represents a complete refutation of everything they stand for and believe. He is the nice guy. He is the anti-douchebag. He believes in an individual and collective responsibility to help his neighbor and his fellow man. He believes in the sanctity of human dignity. And despite all of this, he is still the prom king, the captain of the football team, and the class president. He coached a football team to the state championship. He won state office and held it. He attained the highest rank of a working man in the military. He has the sincere love of his family and the admiration of a nation. And he did it without a trust fund, Henry Cavill looks, high cheek bones, or whatever bullshit right wing couch-f*cking incels would like you to believe matters. He did it by hard work and being a decent human being. His entire life has grabbed their copies of Ayn Rand, wiped his ass with them, and set them on fire.

And they can't handle it.

At all.

But but but he was an ASSISTANT COACH not a COACH reeeeeeeee!

It’s been wild seeing Republicans, a high football-watching demographic, suddenly trying to argue that referring to a defensive coordinator as a “coach” is somehow wrong.

An argument not a single one of them would have made a month ago.

Come on guys. A defensive coordinator is obviously no more a coach than a constitutional republic is a democracy or an AR-15 is an assault rifle. Saying it just makes you look stupid and invalidates every point you make about anything ever.

Colbert had a great one on the assistant coach. You tube isn't cooperating so I can't manage to link to the clip.

But Colbert also spared a moment to address her election opponent Donald Trump's angry Truth Social post about Harris' running mate Tim Walz, with the former president writing that Walz "was an ASSISTANT Coach, not a COACH" — to which Colbert had the perfect response.

"Oh my God," says Colbert. "Of course, he was an assistant coach, you know what that means? Walz is only qualified to be some sort of...Vice President."
