I personally think there’s going to be at least an attempt at a palace coup by Ron DeSantis once Trump is gone. He’s getting older, and he’s ambitious. I’m pretty sure he’ll beat Vance if he gets any momentum.

Seems he’s accurately representing his constituents so most of them probably are too.

There can’t possibly be enough coal miners for the electoral math to be that important. This feels more like a “cultural win” - sticking it to those tree lovers peddling scams like climate change, or whatever.

The problem is it’s not obvious that it won’t work. Being a black women all else being equal loses you easily 5 percent of votes on its own. That’s an election. Newsome is a tall handsome white dude. People won’t have trouble “seeing him behind the desk”.

Trump and MAGA , in the midst of destroying the country , are also dragging the Overton window further right. The shittier they behave, the less the DNC feels the need for any radical change. Unfortunately, they could easily be right.

How many americans need to be killed or wounded before congress shuts down this terror organization?

I think that question basically doesn’t have an answer, since Trump’s supporters don’t live in the same reality. Within their bubble, that agent is a hero and Good was a terrorist or whatever. They don’t know that previous administrations have managed to enforce immigration law without essentially declaring martial law, and they don’t know that ICE agents are being hired with literally no getting. If they found out, they are well-trained to not care .

If you want to know when this will even begin to stop, well, the stock market is doing just fine. While that is the case, Trump can do whatever he wants.

Remember folks, even the unproven allegation that Mossad paid off someone in those protests means that you have ideological cover to oppose the whole thing. Peak tankie logic .

Empathy is the reason we didn’t go extinct at the peak of the afro/eurasian bottleneck when we numbered less than 2,000 individuals.

True, but it’ll the current manosphere chud-driven narrative around this it’s also worth mentioning that empathy is not itself an emotion. It may result in an emotional response, but empathy itself is an cognitive process through which one person considers the perspective and emotions of another. Consciously turning off your empathy literally just makes you dumber and less rational.

You see this all the time with prominent Republicans who suddenly become pro-gay rights as soon as their own kids come out. Bruh, gay people didn’t suddenly start deserving rights just because your kid happens to be gay, so you were either being irrational before or you’re being irrational now. The cognitive process by which you could have avoided irrationality was by engaging in empathy - consider the perspectives and feelings of others, consider how and why they come about, and incorporate that into your thinking.

Why would they use russian IPs if it was a russian DDOS attack, lol

Because theres no reason not to.

I’ll be honest, when I read the headline I expected her to be significantly hotter.

This type of shit is why I really do not understand why people want Gavin Newsom as the next presidential candidate.

It’s just pragmatism. He’s the type of non-MAGA candidate that the US could actually elect, should a fair election occur again .

I can’t wait for the ADL’s statement explaining how this is fine and not real antisemitism.

They had to lose both of those wars and completely rebuild their political institutions for that trust to be rebuilt lol. Nothing like that will happen here. Nobody is coming to save you.

Half the country loves this btw.

Trump doesnt actually care about any of that since that is only going to matter long after he’s gone. He’s old and unhealthy and feeling his mortality. If he actually manages to increase US territory then he will have an actual tangible legacy, that’s why he wants it.

Instigating external conflicts to distract from domestic issues is a long-standing tradition of shitty leaders throughout history, and that is the other dimension to this.

There have already been scams involving stealing a phone, finding the phone owners grandmother in contacts, and using AI-generated videos and images to pretend like they’re holding her granddaughter hostage and getting her to pay.

All the advantages of kidnapping for random with a fraction of the risk.

How long does it take to verify that your AI multidimensional research is actually correct? What do you do if you are actually expected to understand what it gave you?

Brain rot nonsense

This whole thing has been so absurd. Trump obviously has no message discipline so he blurts out whatever nonsense he thinks of on the spot. For oil companies to actually control Venezuelan oil infrastructure, they would need a US ground invasion first. Hundreds of thousands of troops. There is no such buildup at present and I don’t really think Trump has the buy-in to make that move despite how culturally sick the US current is .

Also is it really a good time to tell Americans that they need to be disarmed when the vast majority of us are having a hard time with a fascist federal government and police forces who refuse to do their job?

It doesn’t really matter. Even if all their candidates won and were in a position to not just propose but pass laws, there is no law that can be passed that will both work at reducing gun violence and also be found constitutional by SCOTUS. Guns won.

Also Santa actually exists in DC and is immensely powerful within his sphere of operations.

Probably inspired by Tom Bombadil imo.
