This is quite the cease fire we have

Yes: billionaires and incels and MAGA WANT to be angry, they want to be aggrieved, and if you try to talk them out of their grievance, they will neatly elude you and find new reasons. The uncomfortable part is realizing that these kinds of people aren't categorically distinct from ourselves.

The real problem is that there is a good chunk of voters who are negatively polarized against Republicans and democrats and just focus their hatred at whomever is currently in power.

I guess there wont be a deal ... because good deals are for winners and he ain't one

Skynet except instead of nukes its a bio weapons and instead of trying to destroy humanity its trying to invent a new type of boner pill.

Need a left perspective on unemployed child slaves ...

I represent a lot of cops in whistleblower cases and sometimes after a case is over a cop will call me with an investigation they are conducting and asking for some advice. It makes me feel like Sherlock Holmes and I want to put consulting detective on my CV.

Finally a plan to kill META

The MAGA voters are terrible, the non-MAGA Trump/republican voters are just as bad, but the anti-anti-Trump are the worst.

One of the things I had to learn is that my preferences especially the things that appeal to me politically are not the things that most people like or find persuasive. I know I have minority opinions... but I am honestly shocked how much Platner fits in with Maine voters

Our real problem isn't in the executive branch and Trump is just a symptom. Replacing Trump with a good executive wouldn't fix things but replacing congress with the radical republican congress would.

TIL we share the same birthday

In my humble opinion the best middle eastern sandwich is the kibbeh tabuleh sandwich. Just perfect ... I wish restaurants would make it and I would not need to assemble it myself

This is evidence of no remorse and she should not be paroled

I do wonder if she has incentives to stay loyal or if she is going to try to rebuild her "left" credentials by unloading on the administration

This is what happens when hell gets emptied and all the devils are here

Divide and conquer (using various wedges in various places) has been the most effective and destructive force in this country. It has broken us and will probably destroy the world. It really doesn't have to be this way but we are stuck because some prefer destruction to not being in absolute control

100 mlg of thc... a whole bottle by myself in one gulp. Then I tried to make dinner for my friends... I was concerned if anyone tried to talk to me I would burn down the house.

The conclusion was the infighting along the way.

Is this from the Daily Planet? Did Clark Kent write this story? Is Braniac involved?

The thing about McConnell is that dispite loathing Trump and thinking Trump was bad he prioritized the republican agenda to destroy the new deal great society and turn us into a plutocracy above anything else. Now that this is done he can complain about Trump at the margins.

This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture on your phone

We should definitely nationalize starlink pay the fair market value for the infrastructure only and collapse Elon's pondicherry scheme

Good thing to remember from Eric Kripke re The Boys

@katmabu.bsky.social you should look into a malicious prosecution case against the people involved in this case. Its allowed under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Consult an experienced attorney on this.

1) There are lawyers that will help you follow the law and protect your rights. They are good lawyers. 2) Lawyers that will help you bend the law - lawful neutral to evil And lawyers that will help you break the law. Not lawful at all. Trump hates 1 got disappointed with 2 and now only wants 3

Impeach him

The Colorado Democratic Party censured Gov. Jared Polis for his commutation of Tina Peters in a vote of ~200 state committee members tonight. A resolution declaring Polis "materially harmed" the party and barring him from formal participation in party events was adopted with 89.8% support.

By whom?

If this was for Americans it wouldn't be in liters

The name of this dish should be Boudica's revenge.

I don't disagree thats the plan. But even if (big if) they can coordinate and competently carry it out - this is still not enough to overthrow an established democracy if its led by a deeply unpopular tyrant. If he isn't popular he will need mass violence carried out by loyal troops.

Its that time of the year in California where you wake up in the morning smelling barbecue and go out and see the sky looking apocalyptic and realize its just a huge fire nearby.

If I was Castro I would surrender myself to the Hague and get the US to either invade the Netherlands or conduct the trial in an international tribunal

What really bothers me about the age of AI is that first they figured out they could make money selling the software (microsoft). Then they decided they could make more money by giving you the software because they could make more money selling data for ads (google) Now its a parasocial relationship

Have you thought about expressing opinions of the hot button issues: Stalinism good or bad Star Trek (any opinion) Democrats (bad or terrible)

What is it with rich people in the Miami area attempting to resolve child custody disputes with murder for hire?

Ultra vires and null ab initio

You cannot govern this country from a bunker

John Cornyn - same result as Cassidy but without even the self respect that comes from having voted for impeachment. Congratulations John you deserved it.

Picard Kirk Janeway Sisko and Leia Organa.

The next legal Latin words Americans are going to need to become familiar with are "ultra vires" and "void ab initio"

Polis destroyed his career he should be impeached

Of all the chaos gods I am surprised Nurgle is the one who took over the US government. I would have bet on Slaanesh or maybe Khorne.

The legal principle we will need to fully understand and develop after this is ultra vires

My biggest constitutional pet peeve is that we all have an undivided inalienable interest in the constitution and we all have a right to demand that no member of the government has a right to deprive anyone of constitutional rights. Authority is not given to violate the constitution.

Farmers voted for dekulakization and by god they should get it.

The calculus is that if they support dems republicans will have no reason to carve out their union from anti union attacks and if they support republicans dems will still enact pro union policies- so its a win win for them.
