FEDERAL AGENTS TAKE NOTEโฆ Itโs not just Chicago standing strong. Other blue cities and governors are ready to unite against Trumpโs federal invasion. Iโm not an attorney, but this point seems huge: if federal agents break state or city laws, they can prosecuted. And Trump cannot pardon them.
Mary Shelley wrote an entire book trying to warn us about extremely arrogant nerds who create things irresponsibly and take no accountability for them for when they wreck society, by the way.
Why is the Draft Dodger-in-Chief trying to drag us into a war with Venezuela? The claim is that drug cartels are so out of control theyโve been designated an international terrorist organization, so we need to send warships. But weโre denying Venezuelanโs asylum claims who fled for their lives. ๐ค
Brilliant
You as well.
Susan Collins is another useless dimwit nepo-baby who got in because of her family name. Never had to work a day in her life because she was red-carpeted through it. Of COURSE sheโs a Republican who pretended to have a liberal side.
I think she's going to get walloped next year and it's long overdue.

India and China fought a war in 1962 over border disputes. Theyโve never been allies, which has been to our geopolitical and economic advantage. Thanks to Trumpโs insane tariffs the two manufacturing/pharma/tech giants are teaming up, accelerating their riseโฆand our subsequent downfall.
Maybe they're waiting for Dr Phil and Dr Laura to give clean bills of health? Things are a little hot for Dr Phil right now so he may not want to stretch his credibility that far, a first. Dr Laura is boning up on senior physiology on YouTube. A public physical behind curtains is Plan C.

Omg. Lindsey Graham doesn't have those legs. Nope. Envy.
If thoughts could talk: I'll have to check my diary on what the party caucus told us at the time. Typically it's indifference. Like thoughts and prayers. We're getting a lot of indifference there, too. (It's good they don't let their thoughts talk.)
You do wonder how tightly they must be able to compartmentalize their thoughts if they can deny the daily obvious. But how can he turn around, this has been his advocacy? Mike Lindell will be selling brimstone pillows in purgatory still convinced if given more time he would be proved right.

Planning on joining my union at work that recently formed. Iโve been an anti union republican most of my life.
Do you think it will be difficult to resurrect unions and enthusiasm for them as more and more Americans are losing their jobs to software? That software isn't paying any employee and employer contributions as it replaces humans. Seems like a great environment...
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
Are we selling timeshares on authoritarianism? What other market is hot right now? Crypto? Chuckle. Sunshine in a jar just don't try to spend it on a cloudy day. I had to get this far and be awake, huh? ๐

I think he would be a formidable debater; his demeanor is disarming and you would be a fool to misjudge him.
Three weeks ago he was on This Week With George Stephanopoulos, and was backing Elon's cuts to the deficit!
He had one punchline. Miss. There's a reason why Sheriff Andy gave Deputy Fife only one bullet. Sheriff Andy figured with just one bullet Deputy Fife would probably shoot his foot while reacting but inflicting no further damage with more bullets (used unwisely).
Whatโs wild to me: NOW, media outlets & medical organizations are โstunnedโ by the damage RFK Jr. is doing to CDC, other health agencies, & public health. Me & my colleagues have been screaming about him for years. Years. Even more so in the last year. We were called hyperbolic. 1/

Jill Stein is a political locus that comes out on election cycles to suck money out of the system then burrows back in.
Prayer is not enough. And they know that. When it comes to recruiting people to use guns they say "Lord Here I am Send Me". When it's time to protect young people from guns, it's "prayers up." #james2:14 #karolineleavitt #jdvance

Brilliant. Check and mate mother--!, he said to himself in a sleeveless t-shirt and boxers. I bet he gorked all night to come up with that. He's right. Let's not allow guns to be trafficked or gifted by humans so that guns can never be abused and used in this manner. It isn't the fault of guns!

If thoughts could talk: Lady, I would ride a SpaceX test rocket right now to get out of this question.
He's right and on point. Using the admin's own logic of inserting more bodies, then doesn't this boil down to a uniform issue? If it's about the presence of more bodies to reduce crime, then shouldn't the uniforms be police who will remain with historical knowledge to reduce crime?
It's refreshing to see a politician who can stand next to a sewer drain and not feel the call to come home.

I canโt find the lie in this.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis did an AMA on Reddit and a bunch of people grilled him about his support for RFK Jr. www.reddit.com/r/Denver/com...
To me he's one of those performers with that thing which allows them to fully become a character and yet they were still there underneath but with no conflict for the viewer. Quite enjoyable.
I can't believe I paid enough attention in school to get to this future and be aware of how nuts it is. ๐ฉ

My Rep. in NC refused to address his hometown's water crisis despite being the county water district's attorney up until his election to the House. He passed the buck to the city to the dismay of constituents demanding escalation. Locals are forced to pay for unclean water.

Well, that statement leaves no gray area. I do love your label Follywood. Soooo true.
The United States is held together only by oaths of office. It was always vulnerable to bad actorsโby design. Itโs beautiful in that it relies on ideals, good faith and shared intentโand deeply flawed and fragile for the same reason. It was always ours to lose.
to pay the employer's share as they're replacing a human with an AI. Or do they not want any retirees to have resources to buy their goods from their new AI workers?
Listen up everyone. Every human worker replaced by an AI agent or robot is one less human paying into Social Sec., Medicare, etc. How can that go wrong? Shouldn't these AI workers be paying a tax? ๐ค They don't get retirement so they aren't taxed a human worker's share but the employer should have
That is fantastic! ๐

I'll give an example of someone who tries to be a story-talker but is instead a dictatorial boor that demands you to accept their story, it was someone who used to be a governor and rhymes with "oh no." I've noticed younger people, I'll call that people 50 and younger, aren't thrilling with that.
I think of B. Clinton, B. Obama, Kate Bailey Hutchinson, and Maya Angelou did it poetically so but wasn't a politician, as examples who come to mind of such people. I think that's an important skill that has been underutilized by the party. Stern letters worked in an era when no one shredded them.
Listeners always give the correct answer. They experience that correct answer in your presence, it builds something. "They talk/think like I do." We like story-talkers, good ones. Humans have never gotten away from the need to gather and listen. Trump's rallies were those and he told stories.
give the correct answer themselves. We are all story-talkers, that's how we communicate our life experiences to others. We tell them the facts of it through stories. A simple example: They take a policy point casually discuss it through real life examples and then ask, how does it affect you?
I agree. An observation I have made over the years is that many smart and effective politicians are story-talkers as I call them. Instead of the bland fact speaking politicians marching down their laundry list, they weave their points through stories and pose questions that has each listener
๐โฅ๏ธ They've enslaved us since the Egyptians. They built monuments to them and saw cats as gods. We've fallen so short today. We give them a gravel pit in a plastic box to poop in public. How dare?! They're increasing their numbers to overtake us. It ain't zombies we have to worry about. Kittens!
Anyway, it's ratings week there. Think about it.
My contact two star systems over (who keeps denying my request for a pickup ๐ฉ) has asked me to pose a question as we are some of their best reality TV called Glad We Aren't Them: What if everyone starts wearing mustaches and sombreros as decoys for the racist hunters? Could be a migrant, maybe not.
Hilarious.

It looks as if the trash detail is given to the military and not the mercenaries.
It's pretty sad, even the bullies seem to be losing their enthusiasm. Look at them? Some of them know this is shitty behavior on the part of our government. Others are finally getting to big-boy cosplay with real guns. A lone soul, embarrassed tools and excited fools capture America today.

buys paper airplane kits to build a plane to save you? For sure not the kit kids. That'd be like putting somebody like RFK Jr. in charge of the CDC. Nuts, right? Republicans are the party of robbing futures: ours and kids.

The last 3 years have been the hottest in around 125,000 years. CO2 levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years. But most people have no idea this is happening, let alone what it means for our kidsโ futures. Our politics & media have failed our children. We should be furious.
Absolutely.
I think it's also an environmental issue. Many people I know who are ultra-conservative grew up in very strict households. They were programmed: told what to do and not really think for themselves; someone else would do that for them and relieve them of the burden. Drones with a king or queen.
Hilarious! ๐๐ธ
Words would just spoil it.
Again, fair and true.
One last explanation is the DNC just funds low quality content. The Chorus influencers tried to make โJill Steinโ a trending topic on social media after the new Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case. Like in basic quality terms this is hella dumb
I think that's a fair observation.
Dems mostly hate this DNC paying influencers strategy, but Reps donโt even mind their media being on Russia payroll. Why? Different consumer demand from Dem vs GOP bases. Plus more division among Dem consumers: some want โDems too far left,โ others want โDems too centrist,โ others โDems so uncoolโ
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz stated that Russia is attempting to destabilize Germany, including targeting its infrastructure, and therefore Berlin is in direct conflict with Moscow.
