  • This is fucking hilarious. For months post Trump getting shot at, Alex Jones was saying that Trump was gonna have his plane shot down by a missile. He claimed that he had a dream about it that was actually a vision from God and that he hoped the Trump team was listening so they could prepare. To find out there was an actual worry is pretty fucking funny. Alex probably knew there was a worry, because he’s an insider for Trump, and decided to do his characteristic prediction saying it was from God so that if it happened, he proves he has prophetic powers even more than he says he already does.


  • Well the less than 10 trans athletes in the NCAA must be crushed.

    For those that say trans people should just have their own league, there aren’t enough trans athletes to do that. A tiny tiny sliver of trans people are athletes and we are already only 1.5 million people. Having our own league guarantees trans people can’t be athletes cause there’s not enough people or funding for a whole league. Women’s leagues already struggle with funding and women are the majority in the country.

    Plus does trans people having their own league mean trans men and women play against each other because that doesn’t seem fair since they both have similar level of athletic ability as their cis counterparts. So then do we the separate it further into trans men and trans women leagues? Because that definitely won’t get enough funding for two brand new leagues across all education linked and professional sports.

    Either, trans people can participate against their cis counterparts because there’s plenty of evidence to show they fall in line with them when it comes to athletic ability, or you say no trans people can ever ever play sports. That’s it.






  • Well he’s not a representative or anything. He was chair of the DFL party which is the Democratic party in Minnesota. So he doesn’t have a voting record but he was elected 14 years ago and again, they haven’t lost a statewide race since. He’s a strategist.

    He led the campaign in 2008 for the the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment which is designed to help public lands, help keep water clean from pollution, and fund the arts and heritage fund.

    Wilker, his opponent, was also supported by two billionaires but Ken wasn’t.

    Under his watch Minnesota defeated the amendment to ban same sex marriage and an ammendment for voters ID, they regained state senate and house majorities that they lost in 2010, he’s the guy who helped get Tim Walz to be governor. He helped flip multiple seats in Minnesota from Red to blue including one that was red for 40 years.

    Again, he’s a strategist, which is what the DNC chair does, strategize.

    Edit: original comment I responded to said “voting record” not history


  • As no one is talking about who Martin is let’s go over his accomplishments and how he could be positive for the party:

    Since he became leader of the state party, 14 years ago, they have not lost a statewide race.

    He talks about how they need to appeal to working class voters again.

    He frames himself as a pro-labor progressive.

    Pelosi and Schumer wanted his opponent.

    He said this during his victory speech

    “Are we on the side of the robber baron, the ultrawealthy billionaire, the oil and gas polluter, the union buster?” Mr. Martin asked. “Or are we on the side of the American working family, the small-business owner, the farmer, the immigrant and the students?”

    He also talks about how we need a country wide approach not specific states. He wants people to be running everywhere.

    He’s one of the better candidates that could have won. Not perfect, but definitely better than some of the other candidates.

    Important edit: he also talked about how there were “good” billionaires and “bad” billionaires which is bs. But there is a reality that it’s gonna be hard to run a campaign and win without the support of any possible billionaire. I mean, one of the reasons the GOP won this time around was because the billionaires manipulated shit. We should still make it so that billionaires don’t exist because having a system that creates them is insane. But also, it’s hard to win in the current system without them.




  • “Procedures” to them includes literally all gender affirming care. Therapy? Procedure. Puberty Blockers? Procedure. HRT? Procedure. Social Transition? Procedure. This will only ban federal support but won’t actually ban gender affirming care entirely, mainly because that would take an act of congress. This is still bad and hurts all gender specialist doctors that get federal grants, which I have no idea how many of them there are.

    The next step is congress banning it for everyone. They did 19 because that’s them saying that even when you are old enough to vote and join the military you can’t make a decision about your own body. Just a matter of time.





  • Interesting, so instead of them stealing the actual Roman salute, they stole what they thought the Roman salute was. Sure the Italian fascists used it too, but the Nazis compared what they wanted, a 1000 year Reich, to what Rome had created when they had a massive empire that lasted 500 years for the western empire and almost 1500 for the Eastern years if they include the West and almost 1000 by itself. So they didnt just take it from the Italian Fascists just cause, they did it because they thought it was Roman as well, and associated it with their desire to replicate the Romans.

    Thanks for the info!

    Edited the years for the Roman empire after being called out for being wrong.
