Seems as though going with the experts requires them to agree with your gut instincts.

I had a cat that expected dinner at 6. She routinely rolled through daylight savings hour changes and went by the clock every time. It was so routine it reminded us to change the clocks. I’ve never understood how.
Like his presidency
They didn't tell me when I was a girl that when I grew up I'd be walking down the street & my neighbor would stop to ask me if ICE left yet & a hippie dude with a long grey beard would be on a skateboard on the sidewalk shouting "Checkpoint ahead! Checkpoint ahead!" from a megaphone.
My experience with today’s republican voters is that because they are pretty stupid and perpetually ill informed this is not a choice they are making. Not one in my sphere concedes any penalty to their material interests has or will occur.
In America the sentence is two 4 year terms to the White House plus an option for an indefinite term.
Sure but that first one was backed by an armed force prepared to kill and die to make it real.
First thing on that list if I recall was our lives and that’s going to be the price to rebel against a dictator and reestablish democratic government. Longer it takes the bigger the bill.
Their president earned their vote with blood poisoning vermin.
Fair enough but I have not seen any discussion of what is possible for the Dems to do vs screaming that they’re not doing enough. Where’s the map showing what seats Dems can claim if they pushed it to the limit. That absence tells me Dems can’t bring a gun to the gun fight cause they don’t have one
that’s not what they’re proposing though. But my still unanswered question is what other seats are out there? How many? where? which specific governors and legislators should we be pressuring to get them? What hoops must be jumped? Or is this just wailing into the void?
Same question. Which states are you looking at that have a governor and legislature able to do so and voters willing to ratify it, and how many seats can be gained?
Which states have the votes to redistricting, a governor to sign, and seats to get?
A free people should know that calling bs on government overreach is a readily available tool any 12 random citizens can utilize.
How is that not kidnapping?
What ideas has Hakeem put into reality?
I agree but I haven’t heard any analysis about what’s possible to do. CA if voters approve. Sounds like NY not happening this cycle. Where else are there governors plus votes in the legislature plus districts to poach?
This fight was always going to be the Alamo not San Jacinto. But the former sparked the latter
2020 wasn’t just the leader of the party, it was all the leaders of the party lying relentlessly for months about vaporware irregularity. 2024 is some kooks online.
If we get to at all, We’ll be voting under the gun.
Why are they so afraid? Is it really as simple as seeing dark skin triggers an atavistic terror?
All right. I’m sure whining and sulking will do the trick. Maybe when the Dems all die off y’all will get your shot by default, but I wouldn’t put money on it.
That’s very true. I had the pleasure of having mine flip. The corporate lawyer who beat the lefty in the primary wasn’t my taste but she beat the republican who told me torture was patriotic. I’m ok with that outcome. Then the gop took my vote away cause Beto lost. I’m not ok with that outcome.
Like it or not I get two names on a ballot that has a chance to win. I’m not clicking the Republican and I’m not sitting out. If you can get your favorite name there great you got my vote. If yall don’t have the juice to beat a worthless dem in a primary then the worthless dem earned my vote.
I hear a whole lot about how Dems need to do this or that to earn their vote. I don’t have a single demand of the left, I’ll happily vote for anyone that has a shot at beating maga. I hope they can win some primaries and test the case. But if they can’t get there I will vote for whoever did
Of course they’re not on the level. No one is going to just give up power, you’ve got to take it, and they’re gonna fight you every way they can. I’m voting for whoever has a chance to beat maga. If the left can’t deliver a candidate to vote for I’ve got no choice but corporate dem
Fair enough. Elect some.
Our job is to beat them in the primaries and defend the country in the general. If we can’t do the former that’s on us not the politicians.
Me too but honestly the rest of the country would be better off without us.
Skip to the polls to vote against them in the primary. Slog to the polls to vote for them in the general.
I’d rather them release nothing than release fake numbers.
We all know the answer to this. the Republican Party conducted the insurrection, ran on it and won. It won’t happen today because the voters did it for them. But if it did the gop would behave worse than they did 4 years ago because without shadow of a doubt that Americans will get over it.
I read the first few pages early in the year and put it away for a few months before summoning the nerve to get into that headspace. Glad I went back to it and chilled that I found I already was in that headspace.
Just finished that one a few weeks ago. It left me pretty shaken. Have you read Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haffner?
For those without options to flee, all we can do is record what happens until we are inevitably faced with the choice to put on the armband to get along or choose internal exile. I know what Americans will choose and it’s not life liberty and pursuit of happiness.
Yet there they are patrolling the streets for no reason other than to display the power of our dictator. They might be bored fascists, they might be fascists that would prefer not to be, they might be disgruntled fascists. But they are fascists troops.
Writings on the wall. If the economic situation isn’t dire enough to force the whites into the fields, they’ll do it by using inmates from the concentration camps just like these folks always do everywhere they’re allowed to fester.
Good. Long past time for us to start paying the bills for our reckless disregard of self government
RFK jr has got some crystals that’ll fix you right up
Been down this path before. Whatever’s glinting in the sun is just fools gold. No refunds, no returns at the marketplace of ideas.
Bullshit. Stop lying or just take the whole fucking thing down since we don’t use it anymore.
Golly that makes perfect sense.
We went over the precipice in November. Nothing left but the splat when we hit bottom.
That’s when republicans stole my voting rights and why I will never vote gop again. That and they told me torturing helpless prisoners was honorable and to question it was support for terrorism. That and they told me their war was necessary but neglected to plan for it so we lost.
Feels like the last chopper out of Saigon
It’s funny how closely our current reading lists match. Just finished 1776 for the 2nd time and dove in deeper with the British are coming. But I cannot summon the pride and patriotism the stories of our founding usually bring. I’m doing a Reacher book for some old fashioned cowboy justice
This is fing awesome dude. Great song, great job by the animators
Remember the Alamo
Just ordered a kindle version of What We Knew because some one recommended it to me after I recommended a couple of others.
This shit hole ain’t worth saving.
Sure I’ll believe it when I see it, but the magas here in tx are doing it right now and there is no way to stop it, so what else is needed to tick off the blue states?
When the brown shirts threaten lynchings because they’re hungry.
We need a Churchill rallying a free people to resist fascist oppression. We get a book tour in preparation for an exploratory committee. Self care is fine but 10 months of radio silence as our constitutional system collapsed tells me she ain’t the one.
Today is the best day we’re going to see for the foreseeable future. Enjoy.
Oooh on it!!
I just try to remember that we’re jumped up monkeys and mostly that’s what we act like.
It is foolish to take anything coming out of government as legitimate on any topic in any category for the duration.
Which gets us to violent resistance and martial law right?
We had the duty as free people to govern ourselves. We chose not to for 2 generations. We can say trump’s the problem. But the abyss stared into us. I don’t think timo is correct that it’s greed based, if we could summon up greed as a motivator it would be better than our decades of apathy
Today is the best day we’re going to see for a long time. Enjoy it everyone.
I listened to This is Berlin recently, primarily broadcast scripts with a good narrator. I didn’t really understand how artful he had to be to slip past the censors, a lot of times it was just intonation so reading it you might miss the actual message.
That one was also chilling. It is dumbfounding to personally observe the process of coordination in my own country.
Ruining our lives because the copying machine hijacked our monkey brains
I just finished Defying Hitler, a memoir of the rise of the Nazis, and the author was sitting for law exams a few months after rule by decree and the utter hopeless ridiculousness of his plight shook me 90 years later. It’s a tough read but I recommend it to those grappling with the end of self rule
Do you think they actually intend to do it, or is just saber rattling and when push comes to shove they’ll shrug?
I just finished Defying Hitler, a memoir of the rise of the Nazis, and the author was in school sitting exams on the law that had ceased to exist a few months earlier. So much really resonated with today and a lesson for all of us facing our grim future.
Before we get to reconstruction don’t we need to start discussing the revolution that will be required to overthrow the maga dictatorship?
I can’t wait until this one hits my audible library. Personally I’ve recently read They Thought They Were Free and Defying Hitler which covers some of that same ground. Tough reads, but both so revealing of human nature that I deeply fear our self-coordination has already left us unrecognizable
We have one branch run by Robert’s king, the rest is pretend
She pulled her cornea reading all the times Trump was in the Epstein files
A slang term for confederate soldiers.
I don’t think I was subtle. The gop launched a rebellion and instead of treating it as such we opted to pretend they just had a bad day and tried sweet reason as they continued to undermine our republic right out in the open. Now we get the opportunity to live in a white nationalist dictatorship.
My personal view is that we should treat red hats like we treated Johnny reb, and for the same reasons. But perhaps a dem Senator can go on Joe Rogan and with the proper framing and firm messaging explain the error of their ways and they’ll reconsider their abandonment of the constitution.
Why are the democrats responsible for the savage degeneracy of republican voters?
Hate the Dems. Hate the Nazis a LOT more
My favorite if look-it. For some reason it gives me thrill when someone says it.
She knows that is what he is doing. She invites him on the show so he can.
Why are we pretending he wants credible info?
DHS has arrested two medical personnel at a surgical center in California for demanding that the officers trespassing in their building identify themselves & provide a warrant, accusing them of another.... wait for it... ASSAULT. The case shows how DHS lies relentlessly to violate the Constitution
As a species we are not psychologically or intellectually capable of managing the hive mind we’ve already built and are entrusting without oversight or review the creators of that environment with the birth of a bigger smarter and faster engine of removing our own humanity. Gonna go great I’m sure
Here’s the political problem we’ve all personally experienced half a dozen times. As the left jumps onto the Q bandwagon to bludgeon Trump, the red hats instinctively cling tighter and are forced to make the accusation a badge of honor and explain it to themselves by delving deeper into delusion.
Mush brained Americans will devolve even further into thoughtless degeneracy as they continue to outsource rational thought to copying machines programmed to hijack their minds.
I’m prepared to once again crawl over broken glass to oppose maga but first I get to skip and dance to vote against some incumbent Dems
The elephant should be fucking a child
Next cycle they’ll have to disclose their kiddie porn habit to get on the ballot
In Germany this was called self-coordination.
Self-coordination
Slave labor is what they’re going for.
The magnetic polls will flip
Locker room talk, good people, perfect call, day of love, eating the cats, these people will believe anything. We have to look at them like they got bit by a zombie, they’re gone.
Jake tapper’s on it
Or that they have some obligation to hear it in the first place
No it’s not mandatory but I doubt many of us will be willing to pay the price when it comes down to it and we’ll never know of the ones that refuse to kneel we just we won’t see them anymore.
I’m sickened by this story but frankly recognize that we are all going to find out for ourselves
Thanks man, but help out media matters.
Next gop candidate will have to present a child rape on tape to clinch the nomination
The presumption that these wannabe Nazis argue in good faith on anything is why we’re in a dictatorship today
Pretty weak sauce.
