  • If the people aren't given someone to hate they might figure out their leaders having been fucking them over.

  • The problem with the economic message from Biden and Harris was they celebrated like they had solved the economy. But the average family was still struggling. If they had said something like, "We are happy to see the economy land without a recession; That is a victory we have all achieved, and now we can do the same thing for the working class, etc etc" it wouldn't have been such a bloodbath every time they took a victory lap on the stock market line and current year inflation.

  • We need both, and community organizing turns into party primaries really quick.

  • Yeah. The corporate team. I swear middle America can smell it from am mile away now.

  • They removed all the California Wine from the shelves. They're already getting creative.

  • Which makes the second time the Democrats lost to Trump by believing they were the default choice. Even after being roundly criticized for it the first time. I'm starting to think they may not be smarter than me.

  • If your defining reason you didn't vote for them was their position that trans people have rights, then you need to re-examine your values.

  • Tulsi Gabbard went hard right. And 2/3rds of the military didn't deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan. There's nothing abnormal about that at all.

    Also, in the military we generally refer to people as the rank they served at, not the rank they were retired at for paperwork reasons.

  • Israel killed it.

  • People who practice purely competition stuff, yes. But there's a reason the military teaches a blend of martial arts. Combined with real experience it's even more dangerous. As a quick example, it seems ridiculous that the infantry trains to immobilize people with grappling. Until you remember that they run in packs and their buddy is just going to walk up to the immobilized enemy and shoot them point blank.

    Now let's look at the fantasy fight card here. We have a geriatric billionaire who has never been in a real fight in his life versus a geriatric ex KGB agent who keeps his training current via martial arts.

    I'm not a fan of Putin's international politics, (he keeps getting his ass handed to him), but he would obliterate Musk in a fight. This has all the same flavor of couch potato guys claiming they could hold their own in a tennis match with a woman pro player.

  • Since he became president of the US.

  • Time to get Ukraine a different method of communication right the fuck away. This is a threat, not a boast.

  • Dude used the word war in a sentence with Canada. And now he's surprised at the result?

  • This is not normal. He did not commit a crime. Everyone in these borders has first amendment rights specifically to prevent the government from just declaring some people non citizens and oppressing them.

  • If they were right it's because of their ideology. They are the ones denying climate change and the ones supporting Trump. They aren't prophets, they are the problem.

  • That would need a very quick way to obliterate a democracy. As previous Supreme Courts have pointed out, if all they have to do is revoke your citizenship, then nobody has any rights.

  • This isn't just a visa, he has a green card. They want to revoke permanent residence for using your first amendment rights.

  • Yeah but there's a Gulf of difference between Afghanistan and Ukraine. There's other countries that manufacture spare parts and have maintenance experience willing to help. Ukraine also has a technological sector of it's own. Afghanistan was completely dependent on the US.

    Don't get me wrong, we shouldn't be here. Trump is a fucking idiot asshole. But Ukraine shouldn't be panicking yet.

  • The Ukrainians were already doing those updates for their non American jets, I think they'll probably be okay in that realm.
