Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Republicans don’t want a speaker to lead them; they want a hostage.

Giving up is unforgivable.

Disagreements are healthy; personal attacks are not.

There is no compromise when it comes to body autonomy. You either have it or you don’t.

If you thought you’d already seen people saying the stupidest things possible on the internet, prepare yourselves.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

I desperately hope that, yet again, i am wrong.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

… gradually, and then suddenly.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

Wow, you are pre-disappointed. How surprising.

No one could have predicted…

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

So, this happened. Heroes did this as far as I’m concerned:

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

This reminds me of something I saw recently from yv_edit, a TikTok and YouTube creator who talks about feminism and men. She made the point that men, not women, are naturally submissive. They place themselves in a hierarchy, and they’re submissive to the men above them in the hierarchy, and shit on the ones below them. The ones below them submit to those above, and shit on those below, and on and on and on.

This is Trump, in my opinion, but we haven’t seen much of his submissive nature because he’s usually at the top of the male hierarchy wherever he exists, especially with the useless numbskull men that usually surround him. Most of them are supplicants.

But Elon is different. Trump defers to him, because Elon is much, much richer than Trump (even using the imaginary finances Trump uses to gauge his wealth).

If this is right, then the predictions about Elon and Trump breaking up in the near future probably need to be re-calibrated. This wouldn’t just be about Trump jettisoning Elon when Elon is no longer useful — if you’re under someone in the hierarchy, the person above you makes that decision.

Does Trump owe Elon? Absolutely. Does Elon have kompromat on Trump? Almost certainly. But I think the hierarchy thing is worth thinking about.

(Also, Neko Case is a citizen of the world so her music counts as Canadian or Mexican content, as far as I’m concerned.)

In case you missed this morning’s post, I have a new site where I’ll be writing — heymistermix.com. John graciously invited me to cross post here, with the comments off. The site is hosted on beehiiv, which is like Substack with fewer nazis. You’ll need to subscribe to comment. Subscriptions are free, and you can just visit the site to read my stuff. I’ll cross-post some of it here. Thanks for all the kind comments from lurkers via email or in my adios post yesterday.
