So true! Trump admin copying Fidesz playbook but skipping over the “achieve broad popular support” chapter. Labor party OTOH seems to be wallowing in homegrown miasma of prejudice.

That's definitely a better future for this - or any - social media site. One problem I've seen is dogpiling contrary positions with rude one-liners. Seems like a kind of Twitter/X legacy, but may be inherent to the medium.

You have to do an American tour because you made fun of Severance. Sorry, those are the rules.

Thanks for giving me an excuse to rewatch the greatest SNL skit in world history. youtu.be/P2nWlXlcO5I?...

I think they’ve known that for awhile now. The problem is that the US is indispensable for Ukraine’s defense.

Darcy is sub-locked,so he might as well not exist for most of us. Note: not really a criticism, writers need to get paid. But as a reader I don’t really care what he reported.

Because the foreperson is the only person who has confirmed that charges 2 and 3 were affirmed by the Grand Jury. There is a non-zero chance that the foreperson conspired with Halligan to misrepresent the grand jury's indictment votes.

Is she essentially saying that there’s no evidence the GJ voted for any of the charges except the foreperson’s attestation?

Oh come on. The Roman Empire fell due to whatever social or political phenomenon is pissing me off at this moment.

Also paranoia toward their own allied barbarian communities, which led to riots, pointless battles (cf adrianople) and defections. Destructive xenophobia is not a new phenomenon.

Raskin is no Tim Kaine. He's one of the Dem Party's toughest brawlers and a razor-sharp communicator. This is obviously a purposeful sound-bite. Sounds mischievous to me, like he's tweaking Trump & the Epstein deniers.

Appalled at your paranoia. zeteo.com/p/trump-grou...

Was "What if brutalizing residents of NC's largest city leads to a politically damaging backlash?" too crazy a question for Trump's political gurus to ask? Asking for a friend. bsky.app/profile/madd...

That’s mostly true, but persuasion can matter too. A lot of voters switched their vote in November from Trump to Sherrill or Spanberger. That’s why the Great Realignment promised by Trump supporters like Patrick Ruffini has fallen apart.

Hard to believe, that doesn't sound like Trump at all. 🙄
