When Kirk died trump overreacted and it backfired on him, culminating in the Kimmel humiliation.

Also I’m not entirely sure he will pardon Bradley. This is a bad scandal and he needs a win. I know he’s been big on rewarding loyalty but he’s also a snake when he wants to be and I feel like the incentive structures for this particular case *really* reward him throwing the guy under the bus.

How do you take their platform away and when you do so isn’t that martyr effect you spoke of far more likely if you haven’t neutralized a bunch of the foot soldiers
December 1, 2025 at 10:33 PM
That’s not what I asked. I asked what’re the ”ways to pacify them“ you spoke of.
December 1, 2025 at 10:16 PM
Such as?

The right is not interested in peace! They never will be! Your choices are slaughter or war. I’m sorry if that’s uncomfortable to acknowledge.
December 1, 2025 at 10:04 PM
I’m well aware of how much suffering it caused. And I’m also not naive enough to think the right will ever play nicer than that.

They’ve been wiping their ass with #1A but let me guess “we can’t bc it’ll give them an excuse to” they’re gonna shit all over it whether we retaliate or not so we might as well.

Not if you succeed. The war against the communist party here successfully wiped it out.

When you neutralize enough people they become warnings, not martyrs.

That said this sadly is literally never happening so all the more reason it’s pointless to cancel him over it.

This admin is somehow more “Arrested Development” than the Bush admin that the show was based on.

How will they do that when they’re all in prison lol
December 1, 2025 at 9:53 PM
Whether they are conscious of it or not they supported the construction of a state apparatus that would do it.

They must not be allowed to again, and any other concerns are secondary.

If this somehow passes I think something people are missing is how much it will alienate Europe and encourage them to decouple from us.

We creep a little bit closer to WW3 every time some idiot leader here tries shit like this
December 1, 2025 at 9:33 PM
We think of WW2 as Germany turning evil (which yes they did) and everyone else having an attack of conscience but the reality is it happened largely bc so many world powers were embracing nationalist thought at the same time.

oh so they’re scared everyone is emigrating bc it sucks here
December 1, 2025 at 9:24 PM
oh so people are emigrating in big numbers.

Yes, provided he doesn’t fall out of a window on his way to the stand.
December 1, 2025 at 9:20 PM
we are having a more granular and nuanced discussion than “kids aren’t conservative ever” and I don’t appreciate you acting like we’re not.
December 1, 2025 at 9:18 PM
Except we are talking about what we’ve actually observed, not just making up some vibe about young people.
December 1, 2025 at 9:16 PM
then our guy will wipe it out
December 1, 2025 at 9:15 PM
To be clear I have little to no doubt both of these men deserve prison sentences, but we know which one the WH will prioritize protecting.
