The central questions of the Republican primary in 2028 will be (1) Do you want to make Marco Rubio Caudillo of the Western Hemisphere vs (2) Do you want Tucker Carlson’s Nazism in One Country?

a 2028 election win means we could extradite flavio so he’ll probably try to flee the US at that point and the whole thing will be extra funny

no one is "going to pay" until 2029, sorry

Harris's single greatest weakness imo is she is a fundamentally very cautious politician, which is itself very much a product of the path of 'the how' she came to power

it'd be super cool if Democrats don't lose a single governor's mansion next week (which is unlikely with Kansas but who knows)

fun fact here, if Democrats flip either of Ohio or Florida SEN next week, those new senators get seated for this congress!

It is funny that the only Jewish state in the world has like a party for every thirty citizens and is chronically incapable of forming a government

he'd rather pout in the corner and give bibi another 3-6 months of power than form a coalition with any of those dirty arabs

i'd love to know what was going on at the biden department of justice for four years

the reason a bunch of us think we might get a serious polling error in favor of dems this cycle is that a lot of polls, when you look at LV screens, are going “we think the shape of the electorate is going to look like 2022 or even redder in terms of who actually votes” does that sound credible?

Every news story is like “DSA-backed candidates win big in municipal elections; National Hoe-Scaring Committee furious, demands answers”

the story of how sports betting became legal is odd. instead of directly banning sports betting, Congress passed a law requiring states to ban sports betting, which the Supreme Court held (doctrinally correctly) is unconstitutional. but Congress clearly had the power to directly ban sports betting

Yeah TBH I think the left needs to crush John Samuelson's mob as a lesson for what happens to chud unions that defect.

Ah yes, "Europe" www.wired.com/story/they-f...

I don’t think we should get used to a man this wealthy, this full of hate and this willing to demonize a small minority having so much power in our economy and in our politics. To defend democracy, we must defeat the oligarchs.

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

He never said anything about whether it was special occasion dining or not, he said it was garish which it is!

50501 strongly condemns the transphobic policy positions espoused in Josh Turek’s campaign ad. We’re calling on @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social to stand with the trans community & attack the real threat to the safety of women & girls: the Trump administration’s cover-up of the Epstein trafficking ring.

also henry cuellar fucking sucks for so, so many reasons

Literally 3 hours ago I was reading posts saying Bolsanaro was a 110% lock because look at all the voter suppression he had going for him, and how this was a preview of 2028 here in America. Real heads remember the dark times of 180 minutes ago.

the social media platforms are natural monopolies built on network effects. easily duplicatable if you can force the collective action to get people from one to another

I knew someone who went to Harvard with him and said the only thing he'd trust Kushner to broker a deal for is cocaine

I think if you want to gamble you should have to go to a casino to do so. This is not a big ask. I am not talking about making all gambling criminal. I am talking about predatory apps that are doing their best to ensure a generation of Americans never know life without debt.

I think we underestimate the appeal of antigambling politics because every problem gambler is surrounded by 3-10 people who are absolutely sick of their shit.

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

First 100 days of the next Dem president also need to involve banning online gambling in all it forms.

There is an evil beyond words in the heart of the man featured in this article.

I'm going to point out that Jesse Singal has a very public track record of being intensely, specifically cruel to individuals, specifically the trans people who criticize him, whom he has hounded to their workplaces, harassed online, and (at times) successfully gotten fired from their jobs

Tata and The Cheese plus Hung sounds like a 70s sitcom on acid and is also a pretty likely description of the acting ptdo SECDEF rotation if/when pete quits

because people on here apparently think I throw hissy fits about not getting paid during a lapse in appropriations, let me just preemptively say this would be a slam dunk theory of victory for a standoff

fuck you. trans people come to Minnesota from neighboring states to get lifesaving care that they’re only able to safely get here because of a set of party line Dem votes.

A weird change that has taken place in my lifetime is that in the past, British racists were aware of what mixed-race people were and were furious about it, as opposed to the New Racism, which frequently seems actively confused by the birds and the bees.

I remember many yrs ago one of my regular customers asked another of my regular customers "I seen you in Shields th other day with a couple of [racial slur] teenagers, what was that about that?" And the other guy replied "Do you mean my fucking grandchildren?" Never seen a man visibly shrink so fast

Has to be said that a great thing about Lula is he is a champion grade hater

It is atrocious we have to operate under this constant credible and explicit threat from one political party, the fact we keep calling it a “free and fair election” needs some light revising

see also gavin, it really isn't going to happen

"Suicidal provocation of Russia while our armed forces are at their most woeful state since WW2". Mate, the Russian army is currently pulling T-55's out of storage and losing ~1,800 men a day in foot and motorcycle assaults that achieve nothing. This is "poke the bear" nonsense.
