This shit is so fucking funny.  Focus on what? To what end? What do you want this group of internet strangers to do here in March of 2025 instead of the five seconds it takes to look at that and go "well that's fucked up dictator shit"?

Oh, the revolution starts on Wednesday? I actually have a commitment that day. Can we reschedule?

I know this is the plan, but it feels like so many people have completely tuned out because there is just so much bad shit all the time, every day. I keep up, but not as much as I did in the first admin.

This is the government Schumer fought to keep open.

Also goes without saying, but you do not introduce the concept of “unpardons” if you ever plan to cede power to the opposition.

I'm talking about the professional political influencer who has almost a million followers, not you. I know you're helpless.

It only really matters if you can break out how many of the dead are black, brown, yellow, women, trans, or Democrats.

That can be said for a ton of shit that they're doing.

Man, what do you have against Laura Linney?

She's a brilliant actress and seems like a lovely person in interviews. It was a drive by post and I could have been much more clear. LL is terrific at playing a a character with a certain brittleness, a woman whose socially acceptable facade is being held up only by herculean effort. I just look at #2 and think of a Laura Linney character at her worst.

I was mainly saying that LL is way more attractive, even at her worst.

Oh, she'd get it for sure, with "Business Time" level of proficiency on my part. But two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven.

SIAP but this makes me want to KMS.

Spoiler

President Donald Trump’s approval rating soared to an all-time high in a poll conducted by NBC, while Democrats’ favorability sank to record lows across two separate surveys.

An NBC News poll released Sunday showed that 47 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s job as president, his highest-ever approval rating in an NBC survey throughout his political career. The public still narrowly rejected Trump’s performance, with 51 percent disapproving.

The percentage of Americans who believe that the country is headed in the right direction also rose to 44 percent, though 54 percent felt that things are still on the wrong track.

Americans were largely satisfied with Trump’s response to border security and immigration issues, with 55 percent approving and 43 percent disapproving. This closely resembles results in an earlier CNN poll that found 51 percent of respondents approved of the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

The image inverts when it comes to Trump’s handling of the economy. Fifty-four percent of respondents in the NBC poll said they disapprove of Trump’s economics policies while 44 percent approved. Results were similar to surveys by CNN and Emerson College Polling, which found that 48 percent of Americans were unhappy with how Trump is dealing with the economy.

As Trump’s approval ratings rose, Democrats’ plunged.

Only 27 percent of registered voters—including 59 percent of self-identified Democrats—had positive views of the Democratic Party, marking its lowest favorability rating in the history of NBC News polling.

In a new CNN poll also released Sunday, a mere 29 percent of Americans held favorable opinions of Democrats while 54 percent disapproved. The majority of Democrat adults said the leadership was taking the party in the wrong direction.

The CNN poll was conducted March 6-9, before the Democratic Party erupted in a civil war after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer handed Trump a victory by voting in favor of a Republican spending bill to avert a government shutdown.

“I believe that allowing Donald Trump to take even more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option,” Schumer argued, even as Rep. Nancy Pelosi blasted him for his “unacceptable” decision.

Looks like ol' Conor's been injecting the steroids directly into his skull.

How the hell did Dana White and Joe Rogan end up with this kind of power?  25 years ago they were part of a fledgling PPV of fights at riverboat casinos.  Now they help run the GOP.  Fucking bizarre world, man.

Because we live in the stupidest of timelines.

The US is the most prosperous and influential nation since the heyday of the British Empire.  And we are going to blow it ALL up.  For.....absolutely no good reason at all.

Americans are shitty. i fought that notion for a very long time, in my own heart and with others who embraced that perspective long ago. i've made arguments before about our innovation and arts and independent spirit and being a force for good in the world. 

but...the evidence overwhelmingly disputes what i thought and felt about what my country was. so okay. 

This exact realization was what hit me, and I suspect many on this board, like a ton of bricks the morning after the election.  THIS is who we are.

I’ve come to this conclusion recently about many of my once-favorite extended family members. I’ve basically cut off an entire side of my extended family. Always thought they were cool and fun and generally good people. Now it’s clear that they’re a bunch of shallow, selfish, religious zealot assholes.

It’s depressing. But you know what? My wife, my kids, my in-laws, my parents, my friends, and most of my aunts and cousins on the other side of the family are super cool and good, thoughtful people. And their happiness means more to me than maintaining civility with a bunch of idiot fascists I used to enjoy. 

I have my sister, and she is the greatest person on earth.  Between her, my wife (who is more conservative than I in some respects but who rails against the bullshit) and my kids (who are typical kids trying to feel their way) I feel incredibly blessed.  I do have a Fox News aunt I try to tolerate, and various cousins for whom I have no political read and almost zero contact.  It's a crazy world.

A white minority group in South Africa has been a central focus for Trump.

Trump falsely accused the South African government of a rights violation against white Afrikaner farmers by seizing their land through a new expropriation law. No land has been seized and the South African government has pushed back, saying U.S. criticism is driven by misinformation.

I think Trump's policies are generally driven by misinformation. I think driven by misinformation could be identified as his entire political life's major theme.

Maybe make Canada the 51st state. Republicans never win another national election and we get universal health care.

Trudeau 2028!

If someway, somehow Canada started going down the path to being annexed, I would bet any amount that Trump would slightly change his tune. He would start to refer to Canada as a future American territory without voting power. Same with Greenland. No chance they would get statehood even if their citizens wanted to become a state.

i mean there's a reason cults are cults. Jim Jones got like 1000 people to not only kill themselves but also their own children. so did David Koresh. a million people believe God used invisible ink to tell John Smith to fuck a bunch teenage girls.

for all our higher functions, most humans are pretty damn gullible and malleable. Americans are not special. 

i think that's my big conclusion...our place will be no more exceptional than a billion others in history. 

of you can get there^ and embrace it, there really is a kind of calmness.

just try for this
