WASHINGTON (AP) — The Air Force has removed training courses with videos of its storied Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs — the female World War II pilots who played a vital role in ferrying warplanes for the military — to comply with the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

Democrats tried the fascist line too, and it made less of a blip than weird did. 

No, the Dems aren't perfect but they are not why Trump won fucking Christ

The weakness of Democratic Party leadership played a big part in getting us here.  The Democratic Party doesn’t have much of a coherent agenda beyond “we will stop the Republicans from doing the bad things” and they have catastrophically failed at that agenda.

The last monumental policy win was passing a watered down republican healthcare plan 15 years ago and our healthcare system is still an overpriced racket. When you repeatedly don’t deliver, voters will look elsewhere or just give up on giving a shit. 

I do not expect any self reflection or change in tune from the Democratic Party either.  They will double down on failed neoliberalism and pandering to people they continue to screw over.  

Are the democrats responsible for Trump entirely? No, but they’ve repeatedly proven they are not part of the solution either.

Thing is, what have Republicans ever delivered?

Neither party has delivered effective or efficient government, or real help for the little guys.  But the realistic Republican record is far worse.

The truth is is that it begins and ends with messaging.

This is Florida after DeSantis did the same shit all over again. Oh but that wasn't the aim of removing DEI. We just meant all the other DEI stuff. 

Tuskegee Airmen was a great fucking movie. I feel this scene could be spoken today by someone African American being accused over only getting their position because of DEI. RIP Andre Braugher.

It's just nothing but hate and destruction. And we knew it was coming. Great job by the democrats of verbalizing what would happen in another Trump administration. I didn't have a lot of complaints at the time so I'm going to be a hypocrite here, but maybe the whole "they're so weird!" thing wasn't the best way to go about warning people about how Trump would purposefully destroy America and sell whatever is left for parts.

Trump told everyone he was a snake….when they took him in…..in fact, it’s the Chinese year of the snake…..what’s the odds?

I am not into body count discourse, but to get to a number like 50-150 by averaging 5-10 sexual partners a year, that means you have likely never maintained a long-term monogamous relationship and are having a lot of one-night stands or are sleeping with multiple people at the same time.  That would be the red flag to me if I were looking for a monogamous relationship, not the “number.”  If you’re not, though, then go wild. 

It’s also wildly higher than the average which I believe is something like 6 or 7 partners.  

Eh. Between high school and college I had a lot of sexual encounters. A lot. But then I had a 20+ year span of monogamy then kinda went nuts after a divorce and surpassed my college numbers.

Just because you struggle to get laid doesn't make those that do sluts.

Considering the partisan political environment, they were monumental.  And they're good for the country, broadly speaking.

But, they're not going to deliver anything to the electorate in the short term.  They'll be a distant memory by the time anything trickles down to the dumbshits.

You’re not wrong, but the claim was that the Dems haven’t had a monumental policy win since Obamacare which is plainly false.

Example of a win for Republicans that is coming right now - $1400 stimulus checks. The IRS is automatically sending stimulus payments of up to $1,400 per person to eligible taxpayers who didn't claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit.

The MAGA morons out there that gets this will clap for the republicans for giving them money, while at the same time screaming about the evils of socialism.

And TFG's name and signature will be on the checks.  You can count on it.

During the height of the COVID outbreak my deceased father got one with that guy's name on it.  I am not a fan of any politician trying to frame government services of any kind coming from an individual.  They should say, "courtesy of your fellow taxpayer" or something similar.

Oh yeah, thanks for the non-partisan infrastructure plan that should have been done decades ago.  You did the bare minimum to keep the economy going as we go head first into the abyss of fascism.  How about the minimum wage?  Or the promised public option?  

The point is the democrats have largely regressed on policy since Obamacare and opted to mostly play defense while also managing to lose the big elections (these things could be related!)

The idea of universal healthcare or tuition free college isn’t even in the realm of possibilities anymore for Democrats. That is a massive leadership failure.

I don’t watch tv news but rather read news online. Why is Project 2025 rarely mentioned even though Trump is effectively following the game plan as predicted by these same news sources a few months ago.

are they all backing off from Trump because they need access to the WH?

A whopping 24% of males 22-34 had not had sex in 2022-2023 — up from 9% in 2013-15. For females, the number was 13%, up from 8%.

I'm guessing the 24% are married.

I feel like you’ve made quite a few posts about how you pay for hookers. Are you suggesting the 25% you reference should do that when you say “getting sex is easy”?

Thank you for posting the article w/o the paywall. Not surprised regarding some of the author's discoveries. Even not being a member of the target demo for these podcasts, as a frequent youtube viewer/listener, I get caught up in the algorithm occasionally and the suggestions and ads associated with these accounts are rather obvious (to me) because, again, I'm not who they are trying to influence but the cuffs have been removed (not that anything was all that restrictive) and they've got a lot of eyes and ears soaking in the hate that's sprinkled in amongst the sports and other chatter so as to come across as reasonable people. Protect one's person and one's wallet when around someone who is straight up saying, "I'm a reasonable trustworthy person, see?"

C'mon, man. These things have never been a realistic possibility for a single second in this country, and it ain't because of Democrat failure.

Fair point.  Let me rephrase that.

Getting sex while single is easy.

Well he’s threatening to sue or pull licenses for news agencies/networks that say bad things about them. And news is a for profit industry nowadays. Can’t make money if Trump takes you off the air.

Plus, he denied it, duh!  But that really is it in a microcosm.  He denied it and the press basically left him alone on it.

No, "but most of the authors are exclusively former or potential Trump administration officials. And your VP wrote the foreword.  Are you going to make sure officials of your administration are as hostile to Project 2025 as you are?"
