Australia has a far right rally while billionaires seize more power in the US and Canada. Ana Kasparian attacks Hasan while Jimmy Dore goes full anti-LGBTQ+ and defends Snoop Dogg?? We're covering all the news of the day live now twitch.tv/theserfstv
I hate to admit this, but I don't think me and #TaylorSwift are gonna work out in the long run.
The point is that he is correct in this instance that all conflicts end with diplomacy. There are literal novels worth of garbage that he's spewed in the last two years that are worth of criticism, but to focus on this throw away line isn't useful.
And surrender negotiations occurred and then on September 2nd on the deck of the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay a formal signing took place.
My motivation originally started because I wanted to spend more time with my girlfriend after work. It was a compromise we agreed on. It's been almost 10 years since we broke up but I continued it because I knew if I stopped I'd go back to the same pattern sleeping in late. I'm up at 4am M-F.
Like, I dislike Vance as much as anyone, but I'm not sure why we are dunking on him for this comment. Conflicts are always ended with terms/negotiations. Post WW2 the Potsdam Conference was where the surrender terms were negotiated. He sucks, for sure but he seems kinda right here?
The Democratic leaders are so stupid they can't even see the way out of their own demise. Leftist candidates like Mamdani are clearly what the base wants and the Democratic leadership just refuses to take advantage of the momentum. They are either stupid or just don't want to win.
The Amazon results are probably after the absolutely insane AI response that makes you dumber for actually reading it.
It's not really socialism. It's like... Partial nationalization. While nationalization is more aligned with socialist ideas (government = the people and people own the means of production) it's not an exclusive feature of socialism. Nationalization exists under capitalist economic organization
3/10. No shirtless volleyball scene.
Is Pirro ever not drunk?
McKinsey consultants should be ineligible to run for president. The fact that people are considering Pete for 2028 is another example of what's wrong with the Democratic Party. "Let's keep trying the same shit that's failed 20 times before. Trust me bro, it will work this time."
Vote blue no matter who dipshits:
In the beginning he weaponized white privilege. Like that one Chappelle Show episode, "Oh, I'm sorry officer. I... didn't know I couldn't do that."
It's crazy how good #DanDaDan is. It might end up being in my top 5 anime of all time and it's not even halfway through the second season. It's so good.
Dope. Can't wait
You shouldn't be forced to constantly vote for harm reduction. That finally caught up to the Dems in November of 2024. The failure of the Obama administration, the institutional rejection of Sanders in 2016 and 2020, and the failure of Harris compounds the problem with harm reduction further.
Totally understand what you are saying here, but I think the difference with Harris and the 7 is that the public largely disapproved of Biden. Biden had a 66% disapproval rating going into July and Harris states that "not a thing that comes to mind" when it comes to doing things differently.
When Republicans have a simple majority, they ram through any legislation they want. They find "bi-partisan" Dems. When Dems have a simple majority, they struggle to even whip the internal vote b/c of party villains. Ex: Leiberman, Manchin, Sinema, Hassan... list goes on. Bad politics. Bad party.
It's incorrect to boil it down to a binary. Poling evidence showed that voter turn out was down for both parties and it was Democratic voters who failed to turn out at a higher rate. They didn't feel motivated to vote for Harris. They defensively voted for Biden in 2020 and they didn't like results
I am literally agreeing with you and you just want to be mad. Strange behavior.
Gains in wages mean nothing when they don't scale to meet lack of movement for the last 40 years. 2016 minimum wage should have been $15 dollars. 2020 it should have been closer to $24 dollars. Biden held a majority in his first half but did not address minimum wage. Why?
I am not "yelling at a woman". You're projecting that. I am critiquing normal centrist-liberal policy that is not currently working. It doesn't matter if a man or woman is touting those policies, they are abject failures. The US losing it's hegemonic power would not be a bad thing. Do not disagree.
I appreciate your posts about positives on the Biden admin. These were objectively Ws however, they did not address people's economic realities. He failed students, he adopted right wing immigration policy, and people felt real economic stress. Harris did not differentiate herself from Biden enough.
The focus of this thread you are following is about Harris and her failure as a candidate. Her failure as a candidate had direct impact on the rest of the world and my argument is she was a bad candidate with bad policies and bad politics. If her best attribute was "not Trump" that's a problem.
Eventually, some of the centrist "both sides" liberals will come to the understanding that their centrist tendencies have only enabled and empowered the right and consistently punched left. Harris and the current Democratic leadership demonstrate this more and more every day.
Her policies were marginally more "social" than Biden's. Also, your talking point about her Senate record is moot because there was no risk to her voting left of Sanders when there is no possibility of the leftist policy succeeding. It's performative at best.
We are talking about electoral politics right now and why Harris failed. We aren't talking about ramifications. Dems have been running on defensive voting tactics for too long and unless you give someone something to vote FOR then you're going to impact your base. Trump's base got red meat.
Housing based tax breaks do not help get loans. They don't help people who are struggling to pay current mortgages. They don't help homeless people get off the streets. Small business tax breaks don't help people who aren't small business owners. Economic policy should appeal to a broad audience.
I think it's really weird that you imply that my critique of Harris means I think Trump is somehow valid. This is a terrible centrist liberal talking point it's one of the prime examples of why the Democratic Party is flailing around right now.
Tax breaks for small business owners and first time home buyers are not good economic policy. In 2025, being against the current Israeli regime is an 80/20 issue. Not counter messaging against insane immigration policy is unacceptable. I don't know why you act like any of that is not relevant.
The point is identity politics are not the core failure of Harris. Her economic policy was garbage. Her Palestine policy was garbage. She had over a billion dollars in her war coffers and people are out here blaming her gender and/or ethnicity as the primary failure but that's divorced from reality
Again... not saying misogyny wasn't a contributing factor but identity base factors were not the core reason she lots. Explain how a brown, Muslim man is currently succeeding in post 9/11 NYC... its policy and politics. Also, the first article is about MI, the rest of them are nationally centered.
There are multiple things that tanked her run and minimal tweaks around the edges would have pushed her past the post. She refused to read the room and break with Biden's policies. Misogyny certainly contributed, but it was death by 1000 cuts. Explain how a brown, Muslim succeeded in post 9/11 NYC.
Look man, I'm not saying that it's the single policy that tanked her run, but come on... stop your cope. * wdet.org/2025/01/16/m... * www.pbs.org/newshour/sho... * www.dropsitenews.com/p/kamala-har... * www.imeupolicyproject.org/postelection... * www.commondreams.org/news/harris-...
I think that plays a smaller role than you'd think. She just had dog shit policies and bad politics. Significant post election poling indicates that if she had just postured in the direction of Palestine, the outcome would have been different. She couldn't separate herself from Biden. Bad politics.
Is silent for 9 months and then comes out to push a book about how she dropped the bag and it's not her fault and liberal dipshits are gobbling her centrist bullshit up claiming she's running in 2028.
*Trump voice* I thought we were the HOTTEST country. All other countries said we were not HOT under Biden, but now all the other countries say we are the HOTTEST. Man we are hot... so hot..
Schiff, Schumer, Hassan, Booker, Gillibrand, Fetterman... Nothing but old out of touch liberal centrist dipshits and people with brain damage.
The fact of the matter is that both her and the current Democratic party machine would rather punch left and try to keep towing this "enlightened" centrist bullshit narrative. She had bad policy and even worse politics and if she had won It would have just continued the disliked Biden admin
I cannot believe how far I had to scroll down to find this opinion. The amount of centrist liberal Mommala cope is insane. The fact that the Dem Party refuses to even posture and pander to the left is why Harris lost and why she will continue to be a failure.
I didn't see the interview yet but I bet she's gonna have a little "I told you so" moment and all the dipshit Mommala fans are going to come out of the wood work and start punching left like they always do. It's always the leftist and progressives fault and not the dog shit centrist policies.
We produce enough food in this country to feed everyone. We are wealthy beyond any country that has ever existed yet we paywall shelter and healthcare. We prioritize the wellbeing of the capitalist class. You want to address problems, start with the root issue, not more pro capitalist tools like AI.
Centrist dipshit liberals are sure great at noticing shit and doing fuck all about it.
Guy who was at the helm of a business that committed the largest to date healthcare fraud thinks it's wrong to create regulation around how decision makers can make money while working in the government. Shockedpikachu.jpg.
Economic booms and business investments mean almost nothing to most of the labor class (read: most of America). Metrics like GDP and the stock market don't adequately describe economic conditions for normal people. Sure the Dow and NASDAQ may be up but people are still homeless and starving.
The policy of the right for the last 45 years has always been to melt the poor
There's always money in the banana stand for endless state sanctioned violence.
Paywalling medical treatment is a feature not a bug of capitalism.
This is from TODAY. Utter lunacy
He wants a bipartisan appropriation process with a party that hasn't shown interest in bipartisanship since Reagan.
You realize I never said the bill MTG put forth was good right?
You saw MTG and just reacted. The Democratic leadership can't even be bothered to put a bullshit bill together to show they are willing to do the bare minimum push back. Even a racist dipshit like MTG can read the room and figure out how to take advantage of public sentiment. That is my point.
The entire Democratic party got outflanked by Marjorie "Titan" Green... She literally read the room about public opinion moving away from Israel and she put out a bill. While they may be insane, they are at least paying attention to public sentiment instead of doing memes with baseball bats...
HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT... Steiny from Nelk Boys on Netanyahu interview to Hasan and Adam Friedland: We don't pick sides. We try to represent both sides Also Steiny (to Netanyahu): Zohran Mamdani is a Jew hater in the biggest Jew city in the US... What the absolute fuck is wrong with people?
I cannot fathom how Democratic leadership just continues to show their ass in how bad they are at their jobs. Jeffries, Schiff, and Schumer are just showing how they cannot stand up to the moment. AOC's latest blunder also demonstrates some poor judgement. There's no interest in leadership it seems.
I think one of the coldest lines in anime I've ever heard is, "Aura, kill yourself." Frieren is a criminally underrated show.
Like... the Upside Down's version of Andre 3000 or something.
Moving a bulk of manufacturing to Asia and then antagonizing countries in that region is certainly a choice. Here we are now looking to escalate antagonism with China and they clearly have the economic upper hand.
It was an STD given to him by Kimberly Guilfoyle
Love how Trump can basically destroy a department uninhibited but Biden can't forgive student debt.
where else is he supposed to do his laundry?
Disregard, world makes sense again. Cruz was in Greece: bsky.app/profile/meid...
Most surprising thing about the Texas flooding? Ted Cruz is not in Cancun right now.
Her conversation with Ramaswamy was hilarious. He goes into the conversation to "respect all sides" and she just straight up says "not you bro, wrong color". He just had to sit there and eat that shit sandwich with a smile on his dumb face.
US Citizens just got healthcare taken away and billionaires got a tax cut and there's also a housing crisis. Meanwhile, here's what's up in China: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9v2...
To be clear, what is your concern here? That he is SOCDEM adjacent and not truly Democratic Socialist? Am I misreading your concern here?
Cost of running the concentration camp? $450 million (aka almost half a billion dollars). Cool... Coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool...
If the current formation and leadership of the Democratic party retakes power they will do jack shit just like they did with the Obama era super majority and just like they did with Biden's first two years. They aren't interested in "doing" anything.
Because you're terrible at your job and too old to understand how society works now. Literally begging for AOC to primary him.
Cool... so she's getting primaried right?
A liberal is someone who is against every war except the current one and supports all civil rights movements except the one happening right now
It's clear the American people don't want Trump's big ugly bill to pass. -17 million will lose healthcare -Largest cuts to food assistance -$1 trillion in billionaire tax cuts History will remember those who chose to stand with working people and who chose to serve the powerful.
It's like ... The more taupe version of the Pod Save America guys
Mossad stroke gun R&D paying off in spades.
This ain't it. Holy shit who is advising these guys?
Remember when anyone is talking about Zohran in the context of "protecting" New Yorkers: Antisemitism is institutionally legislated against, but Islamophobia is permissible.
I'd like to rescind my comment about @bradlander.bsky.social pulling a "Warren" on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social . I was wrong and Brad turned out to be a good guy as shown by his actions and his rhetoric during the entirety of the campaign. I hope we see more collab between the two.
This feels like he didn't talk to Iran at all and just hopes they go along with it.
Trump political strategy: 1. Break something that was working perfectly fine 2. Escalate/exacerbate problem 3. Immediately walk back process that exacerbated original issue 4. Declare that he fixed it meanwhile leaving a trail of destruction in his path and harming massive amounts of people
Maybe if we put it in terms of October 7s people will start to care? You know like... "Israel has committed 79% of an October 7 against Iran so far." Just spit balling.
Yes, I believe we are on the same page here but we are talking past each other. 'Intifada' for most normies is associated with violence and has been co-opted as a "scary Muslim" word. The interviewer tied the three concept together and Brad referenced it being 'vague/unclear' it makes Z look bad.
It doesn't matter. When you do not distance the phrase from antisemitism immediately you give air to the masses that Zohran could be antisemitic. Antisemitism is off limits, but Islamaphobia is permitted. Not pushing back against the term 'intifada' gases up antisemitic narratives and helps Cuomo.
TL;DR: "Globalize intifada" is basically a call to resistance or a rebellion. Lander was asked about it in the context of antisemitism based off a slogan used in a protest by Zohran and Lander gave a typical liberal-zionist response. x.com/jacobkornblu...
Goddamnit... and just like that @bradlander.bsky.social becomes "Warren" and says some bullshit about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. Concern trolling Zohran over a "scary" word (intifada) is counter productive. Centrist Libs and not adopting bucket of crabs mentality challenge: impossible.
Protecting your nation against a belligerent state requires the Hasanabi Doctrine:
Warren split the progressive vote and the resultant was the Biden administration which lead to the current state we are in now. Calling Warren amazing is shining a turd. Sure... she's done some okay stuff, but even a broken clock is right 2x a day.
Are you saying Warren backing Biden over Sanders didn't hurt leftist momentum?
This made me respect Lander a ton. I'm glad he isn't pulling a Warren and cannibalizing leftist momentum.
I will never understand the argument that because some homeless people don't want help, we shouldn't offer free shelter to them. If we somehow come up with a way to offer shelter to all homeless people and one of them refuses, do we throw the whole program in the trash? What's the logic here?
Round 1 draft prospects for the IDF right there... Draft class is looking good.
Content warning: blood, serious head injury. A woman was run down and trampled and clubbed by LAPD officers on horseback. She appears to be seriously injured and bleeding from the head as an officer drags her limp body along the pavement.
You don't want a manufacturing job. What you want is a well paying, stable job that can provide for your family. Manufacturing jobs could be labor intensive and back breaking. People that worked those jobs wanted better for their children. They didn't want their children to work in a factory.
Recently (within like the last 4 years), I've become more and more frustrated with narratives involving taxation and Federal level government spending. If it's a Congressional Budget item, taxes do not fund it. Images like this push incorrect narratives about debt/deficits From /r/dataisbeautiful:
This is one of the seven signs right? A Republican going against like 50 years of state department foreign policy? Next is a plague of locusts, yeah?
I am highly skeptical of any project done on behalf of a US government entity leveraging our current capitalist-centric project dynamic. There's a very real reason China deployed 20 thousand km of HSR in a little over 7 years and California and Florida can barely manage a couple hundred miles.
The issue with leveraging contractors and the "public-private partnership" paradigm is that the pork is either partially or completely translated to profit. The US needs to drop this ridiculous system and just straight own the processes. Profits are not a sustainable metric of success.
It's wild that when government organizations apply oversight to get things like this done with fewer problems it's an issue, but when we throw billions at private corporations with little oversight and they fuck up repeatedly it's totally cool.
