Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️

Yep, and 3d printed lowers are getting pretty decent. Many decent 3d printed lowers could easily function through a mass shooting in most cases, and can be completed now for not a lot of money/time investment. Certainly things that are obtainable by these terrorgram creeps who spend all day online.

This is the way. I believe this would have a very high approval rating with the general public, even many conservatives. I’d be fully on board with it.

So many people on the left treat rural whites as noble savages that are simply misguided and can be civilized by just the right combination of words, and actions, rather than bunch of people who truly love evil and can’t be persuaded.

Getting married is American-coded. Beating your spouse or subjugating them is MAGA-coded.

Thank you for saying this. Grew up in rural Alabama in a deeply evangelical family, lived there for 30 years. My hate of these people is genuine and comes from a place of knowing *exactly* how they are and how they live.

I’m happy to continue my relationships with conservatives, but I won’t spend 1 second with fascists or bigots. It’s a question of values, and it’s completely my decision who I spend my time with.

Yep, great example of how much they hate certain groups. I think a lot of people who aren’t around rural Republicans do not grasp how much they despise liberals in general and view them as genuine enemies. This even applies to their own liberal children (ask me how I know).

What is the rationale for this? It’s so annoying. He’s openly authoritarian. His actions are obvious and I think with repeated messaging, the general public can grasp it.

Related: on the polls on your site, Trump usually has a higher approval on “online opt-in” polling (usually conducted by GOP-leaning pollsters). He’ll be at like ~47% vs other polling methods from established pollsters like Yougov who will have him at ~40%. Is 1 method more reliable than the other?

On the Bluesky vs X thing: I like Bluesky a lot better. The people I enjoy interacting with are here. Even my tiny account gets better engagement. The user base is nicer.

Yes, I agree. We have to win. And really, in 2028, we have to nominate someone who people actually like, who has charisma, and who can win again as an incumbent. Obviously it is impossible to tell for certain, but it surely feels like we are at a genuine turning point in American history.

SOCOM has had this solved forever with the MK27 Glock. I think the Glock COA guns are an obvious improvement on the MK27 (minus light). But honestly, the big Army should probably just go back to the M9 and call it a day.

Just feels like the majority of the current crop of Dems aren’t going to save us. They are too old school, too invested in the consultant class theory of politics. There is a clear case to be made to the American people that we are falling to authoritarianism, we need someone to make this case.

Yes, this is such a great point. The press definitely boosted Obama, or at least didn’t drag him at every opportunity, like they did Biden. I definitely have wondered what the results of 2024 would’ve been if the press had treated Biden fairly. It could’ve been enough to get Dems over the top maybe?

I’m a huge fan of Biden, & he was very well-liked in 2020, but it seems to me that the misinfo around his 2nd term killed his likability.

My takeaway is that conservatives like DeBoer and Brooks are very angry that college campuses don’t uniquely cater to conservative students. Campuses are places where data and reason win out, and conservatives in 2025 do not have those things on their side, so they routinely lose arguments.
