populism isn't about policy – it's about anger
I grew up in the 60s and 70s...music outside of this time has always been less than
they don't care about losing the barrel...what bothers them is erasing the cracker next to it
look to Nancy Pelosi for that – she decided to make her donors super-voters when she stabbed Joe Biden in the back you are looking at this whole "Democratic dissatisfaction" from the wrong angle
@peterbeinart.bsky.social keep Joe Biden's name out of your mouth, asshole
how are we going to know when a Democrat plays golf now?
when we rejected a creepy, old, serial sex pest in San Diego (Bob Filner), no one demanded endorsements of his replacement (Kevin Faulconer)...no ink on how this moderate Republican was the new face of the Democratic Party
if Tom Cruise shows up, their streak is over
...but only anonymously and stochastically
read your own posts...you are the always online version of the outer edges of a Russian Op...you are completely unaware of this because you refuse to believe that such a clever example of humanity as yourself could be so easily manipulated, and not so important as needing you, specifically,...
read your own posts, for example
you might want to google "example"
ageism is just one manifestation of intergenerational conflict...so is "old people's music is corny" or "young people's music is just noise"
there you go again humans beings have been wearing with one another for thousands of years, and a favorite tactic of almost everyone is to destabilize neighbors and enemies...you can see this unfold every single day on the idiot box
watch the news
you didn't have to pull this "boomer" shit, but you did, and over nothing...you are dancing to someone else's tune
follow along...I didn't say that ageism was Putin's doing that being said, this intergenerational hostility, like every apparent division in American society, is cultivated, magnified, and picked at by the Kremlin
are you trying to see how many logical fallacies you can fit in a paragraph?
you go chasing that shiny ageist ball as if Putin didn't dial up the play himself
America is letting a brain worm dictate health policy that directly impacts brain worm survival
Rachel Bade: "People want more cops attacked by insurrectionists to prove that Democrats don't like crime" whatever you're paying her, it's too much
Democrats didn't pardon hundreds of insurrectionists who attacked cops
@joe-scarborough.bsky.social just totally forgot that Trump pardoned hundreds of insurrectionists who attacked cops
if Democrats didn't do all the shit we're told not to do, we wouldn't do anything
every one of you MAGA boneheads lives in your own private Idaho
if that's the standard: youtu.be/sF5TGQgQJeA?...
good thing for you that you do not get irony – at all
what no one mentions is that a lot of the base is pissed at Pelosi, et al. for what they did to Uncle Joe on behalf of donors...Pelosi tried to turn donors into "super voters" in the process, disenfranchising her own actual voters
Tom Nichols out here telling Democrats to use neurolinguistic programming to win elections I have now seen it all
not lying
if one can borrow against "unrealized gains", then those gains are fungible and unrealized in name only
agreed
MAGA gets all up in their feels when they can't tell whether they're being mocked or someone's just asking for directions
Bill also says "both sides are the same" fuck Bill
especially unsettling when you consider that this was not the winning audition for Trump's VP pick
the UN could disambiguate...convene a working group and agree on terms and acceptable responses to attacks from behind civilian shields...it won't change what anyone does, but at least we could all be speaking the same language
Texas gave up it’s sovereignty to punk ass Donald Trump .. That means the midterms are even more important and to slow/stop him democrats have to vote in overwhelming numbers..
godspeed...it can be overwhelming also, it doesn't stop after retirement
being the very last, tail-end of a Russian Op is boring af
Article I Section 4 the power to determine the manner of elections is explicitly vested in the various states...POTUS can't usurp this

jalapeños are great, but they don't belong on a pizza
they're like pickles – you can remove them, bit you can't remove the taste

especially when one cankle looks exactly like the other
it was all about who was to be counted in the census for apportionment – citizens and non-citizens were meant to be counted in the census
the 3/5 compromise tells us that the Founders counted everybody
Barry Goldwater told you what getting in bed with evangelicals would do to the Republican Party
I'm thinking that the worm has company after the raw sewage swim
when you own the golf course, they let you win
we told you that it would be like this and you told us that we were overreacting... obviously, you don't think you've hobbled us enough
expect an IPO for RFK Jr's Leech Farm
this is something the far left drags out whenever a DSA candidate makes a splash, tho they don't "vote blue no matter who" themselves now, they want the rest of us to accept the fairy tale that being uninterested in a creepy old serial sex pest is tantamount to a wholehearted endorsement of DSA
a vote for the guy who isn't a creepy old sex pest isn't a ringing endorsement of the DSA agenda
not enough is said of the fact that winning a primary against a creepy, old, serial sex pest is not actually an enthusiastic endorsement of DSA canon and it does not follow that Mamdani is now the New Face of the Democratic Party
man of tai chi is a great argument to keep an actor from directing himself
it's genetic...see rollers or tumblers
This is why I'll never, ever forgive anybody who didn't vote for Hillary Clinton. Yes, I will die mad about it.
then go somewhere else
re-read my first reply, and when you feel like responding with something stupid, read it again
re-read my only reply to you
shitty posting is not shitposting
your logic sucks – voters picked the guy who bombed Gaza into the stone age
before you let Alito parse "person" to mean "citizen", consider that the 3/5 compromise unambiguously relied on a census that counts citizens and non-citizens alike
Robert Heinlein
the party of "All outlanders are pedophiles" is now the party of "Pedophile? What pedophile?"
To my critics who say that my position urging Democratic governors to redrawing maps is simply a race to the bottom, I say this: The only thing Donald Trump understand is overwhelming force. We shouldn't bring knives to a gun fight, we should be missiles. Unilateral disarmament is not an option.
first, you have to teach them to read
but you guys did so well with Gaza, so that's something
if that new puppy isn't going to pull his weight...
"Democrats" writ large are really not berniebros, and we don't just want someone to reflect our anger back at us big things require a lot of people pulling in the same direction over time, and populism always promises instant opium
but RFK Jr swims in raw sewage! – that has to count for something!
Dems should fight on every front. If Texas steals 5 seats, Dem states should redistrict 30 GOP members out of their districts. We should insist DOJ release the entire Epstein File. Not only shouldn't we bring knives to a gun fight, if they bring pistols, we should bring machine guns.
I was pleasantly surprised when my 25-year-old son got my reference about the emcee: "Who walks up to his barber and asks for the Phil Collins?"
sung to the tune of Teen Archer?
also, there was never any proof in the pudding – the proof was always in the eating
It drives Jonathan Turley crazy when I remind everyone that he is just Mike Lindell with tenure. So, please make sure not to amplify this message.👇 Jonathan Turley is just Mike Lindell with tenure.
the NYT has been fascist-friendly since the late 30s
because Trump has no leverage with the victims
the Press always demands that Democrats must be "fair" as defined, ad hoc, by the Press...it is the only thing that news media will not both-sides
you can only set the rate when you're the lender...pretty straightforward, but our president is an idiot
looks like it was designed for Deadheads, but priced them out at the same time
12 pm is noon tho
there's the problem: trying to explain basic decency to Ted Cruz
sooo...took my 25-year-old son to see Fantastic Four, made a joke about the emcee guy Ted Gilbert and surprised that he got the reference right away... I asked "Who walks up to a barber and asks for the Phil Collins?"
Everyone drink.
...boxed wine
somebody needs to look into all of the cognitive decline happening at the Daily Beast
looks like @msnbc.com now thinks that Lloyd Doggett is a Republican
step 1) vote Democrats out of power step 2) complain about Democrats' powerlessness
they're engineering an escape in broad daylight
step 1) vote Democrats out of power step 2) complain about Democrats' powerlessness
What the world saw on the campaign trail was only part of the story. My new book is a behind-the-scenes look at my experience leading the shortest presidential campaign in modern history. 107 Days is out on September 23. I can't wait for you to read it: kamalaharris.link/107DaysBook
@steveliesman.bsky.social why is no one is saying that mortgage rates are not tied to the prime rate, but 10 year t-bills? as it's reported, viewers might think that Powell can reduce mortgages with a wave of his hand
@jaredb-econ.bsky.social Trump doesn't know the difference between the prime rate and 10 year t-bills?
