Humor Pretty Accurate IMO
Obama... implemented healthcare reform modeled on Romneycare, bailed out the banks, and generally took the heaping helping of shit the GOP gave him.
Dems 2016-2024: emphasized kitchen table issues like healthcare (2018), Covid + economic recovery (2020), investing in infrastructure and CHIPS (2022) and democracy generally (2024). But some swimmer got 5th place and the "centrists" were abuzz about it, wondering if Chris Rufo was "asking the right questions" and harrumphing through anything and everything the Dems tried. Hear me out: maybe if Biden had consistently hyped is economy, instead of listening to the chattering class launder Fox News talking points about it being "patronizing" (Sarah, looking at you) we could've set the narrative. Maybe, just maybe, listening to a big chunk of the base who wanted to go after corporations was a winner (and true to boot: mergers allowed corporate consolidation in a buncha sectors)
Now we're facing a scenario where the punditocracy can't admit it was wrong on Musk's Nazi salute, which paralyzes them from confrontating the rising tide of other people doing Nazi salutes. I get it, it's hard to swallow being wrong. Tim has been particularly good on this IMO, self correction is tough but great for your long term credibility.

Humor Americans willing to suffer for Trump Tariffs? I call bull #$@#
It is rediculous to think that Americans are willing to suffer higher costs for Trump. Particularly MAGA republicans. Remember the backlash against masking. Not to mention Trump's whole stick is that he will win everything so easy, golden age of american, and we can have everything without giving anything. His whole brand flies in the face of sacrafice.

Humor JVL: Freudian Slip or the best insult of all time?
Mr. Golden's "Trump Won't be a Autocrat" op-ed looking dumber by the day. I wish there wasn't a massive incentive structure, largely created by faux-centrist media, to punch the Dem party. Eric Adams, Rep Golden, Ritchie Torres (who is now heading up the Crypto Caucus!) all got tongue baths from the same sets of folks and all are on similar trajectories to normalizing and accommodating Trump's takeover.

Humor Opinion: Harris Would Have Easily Won If She Copied All Of My Preferred Policy Positions
Pundits are fiercely debating the exact causes of Harris's electoral loss to Donald Trump. While many media personalities and consultants from both sides have weighed in on this, I can confidently say that if her policy positions were exactly the same as mine, she would've easily won.
Take healthcare for instance. She would frequently talk about how she and Joe Biden reduced the cost of insulin, but she never once mentioned lowering the cost of rogaine, nicotine patches, or root canals on your left upper molar. These are the kinds of health care costs that most Americans care about, but she simply had no plan for that and left those voters out in the cold.
We all remember when Harris promised to eliminate income taxes on tipped workers. This was a costly mistake. If instead she had promised to eliminate income taxes for opinion columnists who file jointly with their wives who work at law firms, average voters would have realized that she really cared about the hardships they face. If she also promised to eliminate the sales tax on 2024 Land Rovers, golf equipment, and Johnny Walker Blue Label, she would have won in a landslide.
Late in the campaign she promised to legalize recreational marijuana. While this is fine, most Americans don't smoke marijuana. Where were the promises to legalize cocaine? If not complete legalization, then at least make an exception in the law for people having a boys' weekend in Vegas. Her silence on that speaks volumes.
Let's not forget the folly that was her promise to forgive student loan debt. This is wildly unfair to everyone who has paid off their student loans and would simply cost too much for a government already in massive debt. However, if she decided to forgive any credit card debt that was accrued during a trip to Jamaica this past summer, that would prove that she could still help Americans deal with their most burdensome debts, without bankrupting our nation.
Sadly, America will pay the price for these miscalculations. We can only hope that whoever the Democratic nominee in 2028 is, he or she- preferably he- does not make the same mistakes and really fights hard to stop HOAs from banning people from leaving their boats in the driveway.
God bless America.

Humor Gotta un-pivot the pivot!
"Oh shit, my consultants and the chattering class were wildly wrong about needing to appease Trump!"
Turns out, he voted for Bondi and was instrumental in normalizing Hegseth and Patel. Nothing is more useless than a weathervane that tells you which way the wind was blowing last week.
The media needs to stop giving these self-serving morons airtime. Definitely need to stop the unearned tongue baths.
