  1. Just one of the many paths to where I know we're headed. 2024 was the last actual election that mattered. 2026 will be pre-determined. At some point, we all should get our disloyal comments scrubbed from this site, and hope we can from others. There's no stopping this train.
  2. No. Local Republican club meetings. I was compelled to attend one.
  3. We are destined to nuke ourselves from this planet, and his incredible success is proof of that.
  4. I've had the displeasure of seeing him speak in person. I thought I knew before that day how far gone the republican activist class was. To see them lap up the most inane and obvious line of complete BS was both amazing and completely demoralizing. There is absolutely no grift too outrageous that they won't fall for it.
  5. Even if Dems went for it, their blue state maps would be struck down once the checks clear to 6 of the 9 SCJs. Do not get your hopes up that institutions or process will save us. Shit has to burn, and we're nowhere near that point yet. Maybe during Barron I's reign.
  6. FIFY, but white knighting noted.
  7. Trump finally untethered himself from Putin financially with the crypto payoff coin. Only money matters to dotard. Putin trying to exert leverage he no longer has hopefully means he just made the shit list. But usually dotard fucks shit up somehow. He’ll probably TACO this, too.
  8. https://randazza.com/third-amendment-lawyers-association/ https://thirdamendmentlawyers.weebly.com/ There's either something very wrong or very right about this guy.
  9. Like Chip Roy said, clearly we need to cut government spending. Get that number down to zero then the power of all those prayers can actually kick in.
  10. We did get the 10 Commandments in classrooms. Have you said “thank you?”
  11. The Houston area had 3 500 year floods in 2015-2017. The grownups stopped being in charge in this state a long fucking time ago.
  12. Who gives a shit about the right or the wrong of the story, whether it matters, affirmative action, the NYT's fascist platforming (it sucks, but this won't be the last time)? It the story hurting him? Does it look like it will linger and give Adams an opening to retain power? How is Mamdani handling it? Is he pivoting, ignoring, or (stupidly) taking the bait in every appearance? Politics isn't right or wrong, it's bloodsport. The conversation y'all are having is a nice one in a journalism ethics classroom, keeping in mind the lessons learned there will be chucked out the window for clicks and views at the first opportunity. I saw a story where David Patterson is comparing ZM to Trump in terms of enthusiasm and certain aspects of speaking style. In other words, this may be your new Dem model in the "circus is everything" style of campaigning. There will be other little scandals (yes, this is a tiny one). Pols are humans whose every choice is put under a microscope. We generally fuck up now and then. The real story is whether this guy can show the way for progressives in terms of style and managing the media in the most intense local media market.
  13. The fact that a bunch of slave-owning, aristocratic, white males didn't want to pay their taxes. - Ginny Stroud
  14. I don't - political question doctrine. They'll demur to the states to say who is eligible to be on their ballots. In Red states, Trump will remain. If, for some reason Obama did try to run, those same states would remove him from the ballot, leaving no drama for election day.
  15. I think your policy will remain unchanged at least until the next enrollment period.
