OTD in 2014 I said I could conquer Kiev in 2 weeks. I canāt conquer Donbass in 4 years or Kursk in over a year. But I never actually said which 2 weeks. I remain a master strategist.

Cambridge Analytica should have been enough. Just wow.
What will Donald announce today? A. "Russia has just two weeks" B. His successful defection C. A successful defecation D. His recent death E. A new crypto scam
This is why it's not just a class war and I'll never trust anyone who says it is. Night, BlueSky šš½
Hate-watching āAnd Just Like Thatā¦ā caused my fever to come back so
I hope the press is chewing on Trump's massive @$$ about hiding his health like they were on Lloyd Austin and Joe Biden.
The United States is the only place on earth where poor people shun unions, free healthcare, and free education because the rich tell them to.
Leftists' lack of grasp on race is disturbing.
Do I even need to do my whole "why did young men vote for Trump it's a mystery" bit anymore. You people have heard it. This is why we now have armed occupations and are about to ban vaccines.
Me, forever, I guess: cut corners are cumulative
It's his imagination and we're just lucky to be living in it.

Remember, his main strategy is to berate us into admitting that the things we want aren't important.
It must be exhausting to say good things are bad and bad things are good instead of just admitting you like bad things.
Yes, that is a tremendous self-own on that skeetās behalf. I bet they donāt even realize it.
RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. NŹkiāwah brother.
May his me.ory be a blessing š
Anyone who thinks Republicans are inevitable and Democrats shouldnāt even bother running is a Republican. Thatās how politics works. I donāt understand why everyone was trying to bend reality around basic facts. Republican supporters=Republicans! Republican voters=Republicans!
Well, they've now switched to "Schumer and Jeffries are the REAL problem in America, not Donald Trump and his actual Presidency."
The GAZA IS GENOCIDE CROWD intentions all along were to hurt Democrats up and down the ballot. Once that was accomplished that bunch is largely been silent.
Trump lies about everything, but if you listen carefully he also tells you exactly what his intentions areā¦ never good for anyone except himself and the oligarchy. They blew it. He got control and made his intentions real, while attacking families and communities here and around the world.
This is not fair. They occasionally pop back up to remind us their case that Republicans are inevitable and Democrats shouldnāt even run for office.
Important to remember that during COVID a lot of people primarily experienced the world online and so when you hear them resurrecting their gripes itās actually just them getting mad again about the things they saw *on social media*
This post aged well and itās so tragic that it did.
People are drinking over the long weekend and tweeting out hot takes with their free hand. The real problem is they arenāt going to take it back or apologize or correct themselves later.
Thereās such a huge difference that Speaker of the House is a totally separate position from House Majority Leader. It isnāt just the opposite of Minority Leader! These people are exhaustingly stupid.
If you are so fragile that you feel compelled to block people who simply correct you when you call Rep. Jeffries the "Speaker of the House" instead of the Minority Leader, you should really not be opining about politics online. There is a huge difference in the 2 jobs and you should know that.
Throughout the last five years, if you ever want to check the truth of a situation- follow the money. The insurance companies havenāt glossed over either COVID or Climate change.
Marketing departments may sell. Lobbyists may lie. But if you want the truth about what a company REALLY believes - Look in the underwriting department.
I say this with love. Too many of us take our health for granted. As we get older, it's even more important. Take care of yourselves, babes. We only get to do this life one time.
There are times when itās better to admit to drunk posting than to let people believe that someone actually thinks that
Thinking "if everyone hates you, you've done your job right" is a very bad measure of journalistic success.
Wait?!? The NYT has a similar story. Looks like a hit job to me!

They want Charlie Willson to sing Magic and perform it.
They want Hakeem Jeffries to make educational songs like Hannah Montana when she was studying for an anatomy exam
Just saw a post where someone says Democrats should be talking about their accomplishments and their lack of power is an excuse. My brain died on site. It is what it is brother. The American voters did this and they need to fix this. That's the bottom line. Or we can all burn together.
Talking of (bob)cats, my good friend and teammate's cat Sage has been going through hell lately. The family opened up a GoFundMe page because they need help paying the mountainous vet bills. It would mean the world to me if you could help them out! gofund.me/0c7f1019
"there is always an ideal solution that convieniently asks nothing of me and I will get angry if you suggest otherwise" has really been a driving ideological force in our politics since 2020.
What school closure discourse is a reminder of is that there are a lot of ppl in this country, cutting across the political spectrum, who reject the very concept of tradeoffs or that there could ever be a situation where all solutions have downsides & you just gotta pick the least bad one.
Drop an old person youāre going to turn into in the future.

Madison, DeSoto, and Rankin County are thriving. The Coast is solid, but the rest of the state is hurting.
The Mississippi Delta is the poorest region on the entire United States, and towns and cities are literally dying. No exaggeration here. The poverty rate is doubled the national rate on a good year.
Follow all of these elected officials. They have the brass to leave the Nazi other place and communicate important next steps here. The least we can do is to follow them. bsky.app/profile/did:...
Likeā¦research is how we know things? The research youāre defunding and destroying? But now āproofā is required. WUT
It does not have to be this way, but we need leadership in the governor's position.
I was busy studying Mississippi today, and the history here is filled with surprises. My focus was in the Mississippi Delta and how we can change things there. Just looking up stuff saddened me. Some of it is natural disasters happening, and the rest is just pure neglect. We must change it.
They wanted them to lose āperiod. I was racking my brain but when you make peace with after examining and looking watching and listening it all added up to the same. Once you know you know. Now we know.
There are very few journalists on here who *don't* shit on Democrats. They are hard to find.
I donāt have to say āSoonā ominously because Death is saying it themselves

An example of how a "jury of our peers" can work to the benefit of the average joe. The malicious prosecution going on here is absurd.

I saw another low-info lefty reciting the "Beating Trump should've been a layup" lie (the implication of said lie being that "Bernie woulda won"). It's amazing how quickly Trumpās waxing his 2016 GOP primary rivals despite being outspent at least 10-1 by each was memory holed to protect that lie.
Class reductionist lefties never want to admit that race and cultural issues are and always have been more politically powerful than class or economic issues where white people are concerned:
Iām sure you were as aware as I was that if you wanted to understand what each outcome of the last presidential election would actually mean, the press was unhelpful-to-actively-lying in that area.
Yup, and it was impossible to get criticism to go anywhere, even as international journalists were raising the alarm about them. I think now we have an opportunity to peel them off. I donāt know if weāll get something better, but this is already too late to save.
Heās not the fuckin DNC Chairman anymore. And heās certainly not your mule!
I promise itās really not hard to find out what Democrats do if you just follow them on the internet, use google, & sign up for an email list or two. You donāt have to be crazy like me doing these recap threads of my notes & things I was sharing to friends, family, & other volunteers from last year.
Whatever the press is trying to do right now, itās not granting the public understanding. And I think that is something we should ask questions about.
Also, would the public be angry at Democrats if they knew what was going on? Or would they be angry at the press for misinforming them? And, if itās the latter, doesnāt that give the press incentive to lie, to cover up their own recklessness?
Why is he only attacking the party 50% of the time that controls 100% of the power? Here's the inconvenient truth: Nothing, from letters to speeches to press conferences to riots will change that Republicans control 100% of the levers of government. The only group that can stop Trump is the GOP
Or is it the fact that I have to go looking for what the House and Senate Dems do? Is it the fact that our Media spends an inordinate amount of time normalizing Trump's bull@#$%? I'm sorry, I think the problem is TRUMP, not Congressional Democrats. I wish those in the media got that.
OR do you have the impression that only "a few congressmen and Gavin Newsom are standing up" because they're the only one's coveres by the MSM. Maybe you "quit bitching" at us for rightfully bitching at Velshi for his role in normalizing this shit show administration. "Leading Resister", my ass.
I think it's worse than that. He's saying he's immune to criticism. No matter how terrible a job he's doing, he will think it's good the more people point out what a terrible job he's doing.
It's a very condescending attitude. "Everyone is only mad at me because I'm right & they're ALL stupid" rather than "if THIS many people are complaining, maybe I should consider listening to the complaints." Like obv that's not always the case, but it's at least worth taking a beat vs digging in.
This is a big part of the problem weāre dealing with. Velshi tells himself that if people are pissed off, heās doing his job right. The idea that his job is informing the public doesnāt even enter into the equation.
Honestly, I think a lot of politicians on both sides of the Atlantic got psyoped into viewing salt of the earth bigots as more authentic and worthy than them and thinking therefore they must ritually cleanse their sin of education by rolling in the gutter.

It is folks like this that just piss me offā¦ Iām a Black man from SC. By 21, Iād been pulled over a few times for ādriving too slowā or ālooking suspicious.ā Trailed 10 miles on I-20, asked if I had drugs when Iāve never touched drugs in my life. Thatās profiling. So donāt pretend to know my life.
Imagine being a young Black kid living that. Iāve been profiled and harassed by law enforcement ā so donāt pretend to know my experience. Because damn it, you donāt.
One officer followed me for 10 miles on I-20, claimed Iād hit tire fragments that struck his mirror, then asked if I had drugs in the car. Iāve never touched drugs in my life.
Iām a Black man from South Carolina. Before I was 21, Iād been pulled over multiple times by white officers ā not for breaking laws, but for ādriving too slowly,ā ālooking suspicious,ā or whatever excuse they could invent.
So @MSNBC had a chyron up a while ago āTrump Debunks Health Concernsā or something like that. So, how did he debunk the concerns? Did he share his medical reports with the MSNBC leadership? I really have grown to dislike this network.

They wouldnāt know personal responsibility if it bit them.
It is amazing to watch the community of "personal responsibility" that derides the poorest, most marginalized people and communities, in the most desperate circumstances for not "doing the right things" - gleefully support the most perverted people and policies for our government.
I will keep saying it.. ~white people are waking up to the terrifying reality of how relentlessly cruel white people are ~we have no idea how to survive in a world where the color of our skin will no longer save us ~we're blaming the party we voted out of power for not saving us
The right wanted him to hurt the people they hate. The left wanted to feel morally superior. Neither will accept responsibility for the destruction they consciously chose.
Baby it was also about hating Jews.
They're not ashamed, because it was never about Palestine. It was entirely about getting Trump elected.
He told us quite clearly before that he would clear Gaza out and turn it into a bee-you-tee-ful Trump Beach Resort. People only hear what they want to hear. š
