A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

At this point, the race from the Republican side seems like Trump versus his own mental illness and cognitive deficiencies. And it’s only going to get worse the more he realizes he’s heading to defeat.

And we'll see the support contract down to the real hard core. That's when things get dark.

Be careful. We said that at this time in 2016.

Before Carlos Danger. Before Comey fucked everything up.

Coney didn't fuck everything up, the DNC did. The DNC pushed a wildly unpopular, and unrelatable candidate, while sabotaging Bernie, because they'd rather have trump than a socialist in charge.

If only it was as pointed as all that. Repubs try to mobilize right populism for the benefit of the rich, and Dems try to redirect left populism for the rich. The DNC is practically mandated to neuter progressivism on behalf of donors.
