@trouble_man90 A reality check for Ron. It was a no brainer to vote Clinton over Trump in 2016. But had it been Bernie instead, it would have been a coin flip.

This is why it was a colossal mistake to let Bernie go unscathed. It made him and his supporters think he was untouchable with no skeletons or red flags. We should have oppo nuked him in oblivion when he continued to attack Hillary for months after he lost.

Tomorrow. April Fool’s is cancelled Because quite frankly, we’ve had enough of fucking fools.

@OurShallowState @gtconway3d The past is the past. What is important now is to take active steps to stop and reverse the damage. That means supporting Democrats at the voting booth and, if able, financially. No waiting it out and going with other MAGA politicians who perpetuate the damage.

I agree with this. We need to balance our feelings of anger and hurt with the smart realization that the job before us is SO crucial, and that people who found an exit from whatever they bought into with Trump, should be commended for doing so, and thanked. I would add that they could bring others. The midterms are everything. I also think we will find that many of those who recant from Trump, still have a tough time voting blue, such is the impact of the demonization campaign against Dems, especially on Fox, so there is work to be done there - somehow.

We are going to see an accelerating tide of these admissions and conversions as the coming weeks and months pass. And the job of those of us who have opposed Trump for years is to resist saying "I told you so," or "you knew better," or "who needs you," but rather to say "thank you for seeing the light," and to ask people who previously supported Trump to help us stand up now for the impeachment and removal of that terrible man so that we rid ourselves of him sooner, rather than later. The survival of our nation as a constitutional republic depends in no small part on such grace.

How about if we try not putting the finals in a country committing war crimes, crimes against humanity, human trafficking, disappearing people, etc.?

per @BenRothenberg the WTA Finals will leave Saudi Arabia after this year with Charlotte, North Carolina emerging as a key city to host it next. Although I personally feel moving it to Europe would be better as the event hasn't been staged there for over a decade.

@shazofgrim That also happens to coincide with Sabalenka's facial expression most of a match. Ears don't lie.

And the only one who looks likes she want to win would be…. Sabalenka. The rest are asleep…nonsense image

@Gosia_CzBradf Why does it seem these videos are always of Iga hitting from the baseline? We know she can do that. I would feel a lot better if we saw more of her practicing at the net.

Yesssssss...🥰🧱

@gregariousone_ 💯 If it's in North America, why not Vancouver or Montreal?

no one needs another tournament in the US, especially in current political climate

@BenRothenberg WTA still thinks finals can be played in Saudi Arabia this year with a war going on?

Breaking news on Bounces: The WTA Finals are leaving Saudi Arabia, ending this year and closing a controversial chapter. Read Bounces to learn which North American city has emerged as a leading contender to host the showcase event next. Read here: benrothenberg.com/p/wta-finals-l…

@dsenkowski07 Zastanawiam się czy Roig zabrałby ze sobą asystenta?

Francisco Roig ma być głównym kandydatem na stanowisko trenera Igi Świątek. Co robił w teamie Rafaela Nadala? Dlaczego tak krótko pracował z Raducanu i Berrettinim? W czym się specjalizuje? Eksperci z Hiszpanii, Anglii i Włoch opowiedzieli mi więcej o Roigu. Link w komentarzu

Oxford University researchers have discovered the densest element yet known to science... The new element, Governmentium (symbol=Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called pillocks. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2 to 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganisation in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganisation will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as a critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium (symbol=Ad), an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium, since it has half as many pillocks but twice as many morons.

The word "communist" has lost all meaning in MAGA world. Let's fix that. What communism actually is: • State ownership of ALL means of production • Abolition of private property • No free markets • Single-party authoritarian rule What US Democrats actually support: • Capitalism with regulations • Private property rights • Free markets with safety nets • Multiple parties, free elections Communist parties in US Congress: 0 Socialist parties in US Congress: 0 Democratic Socialists (Bernie-style): ~5 out of 535 The Democratic Party would be center-right in most of Europe. Biden and Harris are capitalists. Always have been. But you call everything you don't like "communism" because: 1. You can't define it 2. You never learned political science 3. Fox/OAN/Newsmax told you scary words = Democrats 4. You're in a cult that requires an enemy "Do your own research" means YouTube videos. "Communist" means "thing I don't like." "Patriot" means "person in my cult." The states with the worst education rankings vote the most Republican. That's not a coincidence.

@jaanus Why is Rubio looking like Shemp in the Three Stooges? Oh wait...

Rubio and the whole US admin have been avoiding Kaja Kallas First, because she represents unified EU which they don’t want Second, because she is asking all these annoying questions about why US is wh*ring for russia, which break the Trump lies and personality cult

@AdamKinzinger No Kings-ers: good No Kinzinger: bad

Good job no kings-ers. Trump knows his power is massively diminished

I’m sorry but the future belongs to those who read widely, who are able to write without the assistance of a machine, who haven’t allowed endless slop to kill their curiosity and cognitive abilities. Excess tech is going to melt many brains. Yours doesn’t need to be one of them.

Some biologists have discovered this strange tree in New Zealand. According to experts, it is heading to Isengard to destroy Saruman.

@xxxgwxx @Barca_Igaa It's perplexing why this no/low expectations talk keeps surfacing. If the goal is to loosen up and play more freely, it doesn't seem to be working. Or the pressure of expectations is still there anyway. It shouldn't become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

@Variant488 @Barca_Igaa having low expectations as a 6-time slam champion is insane. That psychologist of her did some real brainwashing on her because when she was a junior she was way more confident

“When you expect less of yourself, you start performing that way” I need Iga to read this

Sabalenka and most of her fans have one thing in common, it’s nothing but a monkey bashing cymbals together between those ears.
