Lawmakers are afraid of Trump. I don’t think the same can be said of Vance. His endorsement has no proven value. Congress would be a more moderating force under a Vance presidency, I suspect.

You’re fine, people are just addicted to rage and getting their fix wherever they can find it.

Every failed impeachment vote makes it harder to pass later. Republicans don’t need an excuse to vote no if they can claim that the charges are frivolous. I admire Al Green but I wish he was actually playing to win.

In all seriousness I’m not expecting to hear a lot of specifics on the debate stage. The damage these guys have done is going to take generations to fix. As long as our candidates are saying “this can’t be our new normal” I will be voting for them.

Didn’t they pinky promise to do this in exchange for ending the shutdown? Wasn’t this the whole Fetterman gambit?

Is Bello implying that Airbnb spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying for the privilege of paying Monroe County more in taxes than other counties? Gonna need more than a “trust me bro” to believe that.

He’s advocating for federal AI regulations? I actually like that idea - otherwise you end up with a race to the bottom where one state can wave all regulations and fuck it up for the rest of us.

I wish more immigrants understood that their legal status is the least visible part of who they are in this country. There is, by definition, no list of undocumented people - if you fit the description, you’re on it.

We’ve betrayed Israel already by becoming their enablers. A good friend would have stepped in with the “it’s not worth it bro” speech last year.

Car washes and self-storage. Can utilize a lot of square footage without much labor. My whole town is becoming this.

Hate to break it to this guy but no one cares about him either. If Hegseth dropped a bomb on his house no one would care. That’s why we have laws.

M4A is a moderate policy - it’s our current system that’s radical.

You can have more capitalism after you finish your vegetables.

100% agree though I will note that I’ve been in budget hearings where everyone on the board had the same “how does this affect someone like me” moment and the fact that they were all looking at it from identical perspectives was not helpful. Age isn’t the problem - lack of diversity is.

Leftists are a small part of our political spectrum and unlikely to be the ones in power after Trump. From what I can tell the vast majority of Americans support Ukraine - it’s just competing with so many other things for our attention right now.
