I’m guessing huge personality cults weren’t a foreseeable thing in the eighteenth century which is why checks and balances are proving powerless here in the twenty first.

Exactly. There’s no guarantee that the American electorate will ever come to its senses on a permanent basis when 30% of the voting population has no critical thinking skills whatsoever and the electoral college is tipped in their favor
Carney speech is important for the specific people in that room because most of them are definitely still flirting with “we just have to knuckle this out until a normal president is in“ and he is trying to communicate that that is insufficient

The US empire could have just faded away like the British empire did but no it’s going to choose the Roman ‘full crash and burn’ model instead

Mamdani: I am going to freeze the rent, offer free busses, and start a pilot project of 5 neighborhood grocery stores.

Schumer: Does kidnapping the cast of TV's The Bachelor In Paradise lower the cost of eggs?

They are both talking about affordability. Why are people yelling at Schumer?

Danish parliamentarian fresh on the scene doing better retail politics than any American Democrat
Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland: "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

Today was a red letter day for Bluesky. It started with a solid ratio of the ‘needs more likes’ guy and ended with the harrowing play by play bus napping in northern Virginia. Two thumbs up.

Richard Hanania is a gutter racist and vile Nazi. He's not going to fight the destruction of our pluralistic society, social support systems, arts, and sciences; those are his goals.

He's an enemy who wishes Trump's reign was going better and is looking for an exit.

Do not allow him in the tent.

Hey federal Democrats. How does a QR code and a body cam stop this?
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

The fact that he can’t seize this moment to become president through back room intrigue really speaks to all the different ways that JD Vance is the biggest piece of shit in the country. Dick Cheney gets this one done before the day’s over.

Alright, now that my Eagles and Steelers were eliminated last week and Pope Leo's Bears were just eliminated tonight, I'm now shifting to wanting the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl.
