    Who are the aggrieved and harmed people here?  The poor victims who got in trouble for using the N-word when it was justified?

    The harmed person is the lady who got a 200k+ severance package for throwing out racial slurs. try and keep up

    As much as I don't want Newsom to run in '28--Rush and Rupert Murdoch have 40+ years of poisoning the well for a slick-haired, smooth-talking "extremist" from Commiefornia to do well in a national vote--there's literally no one else right now. He is the only visible, widely-known opposition.

    The CA baggage is real. 30 years of right wing media have convinced a sizeable portion of the country that California - a state home to one of every eight Americans, and the cultural, technological, and economic powerhouse of the US - is a failed, crime-ridden hellscape. 

    That said, others should take note that pushing back on Trump and calling out his BS seems to work

    https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/09/newsoms-favorability-rating-surges-in-california-00681683

    Newsom’s favorability rating jumped 10 percentage points over the course of the year, from 46 percent in June to 56 percent this month. The Legislature’s standing improved by 8 points in the same time period, reaching a 53 percent majority.

    And for the first time since 2021, a slim majority of voters — 51 percent — said, in consecutive months, that California is on the right track. Behind that reversal was more optimism among independent voters and a double-digit confidence boost among Democratic voters, who also reported far higher enthusiasm than their Republican counterparts to vote in the upcoming midterms. That likely reflects the reality of new maps boosting Democrats and shrinking the GOP’s competitiveness.

    The results paint a picture of a Democratic electorate emerging from the doldrums as its leaders adopt a more aggressive stance toward Trump, culminating in the landslide victory last month of their Proposition 50 redistricting ballot initiative.

    California Democrats also enjoy support from the independent voters who compose a quarter of the state’s electorate, the poll found. Nearly two-thirds said voter approval of gerrymandered congressional districts was “mostly a good thing,” and a majority said the November special election was worth its $251 million price tag.

    At the start of the year, legislative Democrats vowed a focus on affordability and Newsom sought a more diplomatic approach toward the White House as the party reeled from crushing election defeats. But that shifted as Trump pursued policies that are anathema to many Californians, from sweeping immigration raids to deep spending cuts.

    Now Newsom is touting the party’s Prop 50 win, along with Democratic victories across the country last month, as evidence the party is “in its ascendancy.”

    The governor and other California Democrats are still grappling with stubborn political liabilities. Voters of every affiliation overwhelmingly called the state too expensive — housing in particular.

    But a plurality of voters and a majority of Democrats said the most important issue facing the country is “political extremism or threats to democracy,” themes Newsom has emphasized as he warns the country is sliding into authoritarianism.

    Maybe this is something far simpler? Maybe the aliens just figured out how to end all wars, be civil and keep the peace and decided to share it? The end result is everyone being a hive mind and losing free will. And they shared it across the Universe?

    The reason they are ultra nice to the 12, because they are doing this to keep the peace world wide. And they realized that with Carol in the state she is in, she needs to be isolated otherwise she risks the peace.

    I had a similar thought...

    We've seen that the hive minded have a biological imperative to spread. To the point that it seems to consume their every thought and was the driving force behind their every action until the planet had been consumed. Wouldn't it make sense for a different planet - once they've captured every mind on their own planet - to start "seeding" the virus or whatever to the cosmos. Just blasting the formula 24/7 without even knowing if there's a recipient who can pick up on it?

    I think the value of having your school attend a meaningless bowl game is slipping below the drawbacks.

    More and more marquee teams will opt out.

    More and more recognizable players will opt out.

    The college playoffs will continue to expand. 

    Since the bowls have passed their relevancy, they will die, just as the runner-up game for the NFL championship game died in the late sixties.  

    I haven't followed the discussion all that closely, but I don't really understand the "Playoffs have ruined bowls" argument.

    Pre-playoffs and pre-BCS, the bowls were also meaningless.

    While I think it's hilarious that stassney is defending this racist piece of trash, what I really find interesting is that people don't seem to understand that one of the first rules of customer service is "don't escalate".  If a customer is being specifically ugly, say "I'm sorry, but you need to leave, and if you won't, I will call the police".  That's it.  You never drop to their level.  If you do, you're fired, racist or not.

    "but what if they're n****rs?"

    One of the challenges that Trump is going to face is enough of his supporters are stupid enough to believe he will, or even should, reverse inflation - that things will go back to what they cost in 2019.  I heard it plenty of times with Biden : "He keeps saying that inflation is under control, but prices are still so high."  The goal shouldn't be deflation; it should be having wage growth higher than inflation. 

    r/the_everything_bubble - Is this a good analogy?

  10. How can anyone expect him to effectively lead and manage Congress when he's busy with his son, working together to keep themselves from jerking each other off or something like that
