"I hope that stupid people will become smart."

Less chance of that than "I hope that Sela Ward finally comes to her senses and joins the wife and me for sexy time."

So when you fantasized about Sela Ward; is it her of a certain age, or is it current 68 year old Sela Ward?

Don't be clever and say : "yes" :)

I'm just glad the public lands stuff was taken out.  Some form of this was always going to pass.  My focus is just on keeping my job so I can keep my health insurance now.  Sucks for a bunch of people.  Maybe they will learn that elections have consequences.

I'm starting to think the whole public land thing was a built in concession to distract us from the other shitty parts of the bill.

Fine.  We can get healthcare back.  We can't get lands back once they are sold and privatized.

I wonder how long it will be before countries will accept American refugees? Or will they at all?

And then in 3 years, those American refugees will be welcomed with open arms to New Bethlehem

Don't tell me what I can and can't do, motherfucker.

 

So, my answer is indeed "yes."

They are. 

My daughter got a 2 year blanket visa in the UK based on where she got her degree.

She will soon be getting her master's degree in Germany for functionally free (like $1500 a year total fees).

Compare that to the American approach to educated and recruiting talent: actively crippling our higher ed institutions to educate anyone (including our own people), and functionally shut down any access by the best and brightest from elsewhere (no more student visas).  We are lighting ourselves on fire, and bragging about what a brilliant America-first strategy that is.  So fucking dumb.

All of this.

The AI provision banning any regulation for a decade was also scrapped. Maybe responsible governance can address that shit 4 years from now.

The Dems need to take the House in 2026 and play hardball with the budget and try to chip away at the edges of this monstrosity.

False.  We need the temp on the stove to be turned up to max, so all who touch it suffer from undeniable and excruciating third degree burns.  There is no way out of this except the changing of minds that can only come from suffering unspeakable pain.  We're past the point of no return.  We're committed.  So let's do this.

We're governed in a way that always leads to a crash. We don't have to hope for it (and we really shouldn't, because there will be horrors). It's coming.

If you could use a Time Machine to retrieve one of each self ward, and have them do things to each other, would that be incest or masturbation for her/them?

If there is an uprising at some point of the American populace it won't be because of war (Our military is not being defeated in any conventional warfare even with TFG at the controls.) or because people suddenly decided that we should be kind to immigrants. It will be part of the same reason Mussolini was sent packing and that's when the population starts to not have access to the food it needs just to survive. That could be a lengthy wait even with millions of people eventually being sent out of the US who prop up so much of the harvesting of fruits and vegetables we eat daily. When that happens, you'll see a collapse and all you can hope for is a new man or woman in power that brings democracy back. 

It's easy to say these things, but how each country handles a situation like this is different. Right now we're handling it, to be kind, poorly. I don't foresee a civil war, but food scarcity is as big a motivating factor for regime overthrows as one that has awful human rights abuses. It took Italy 20 years, a dwindling food supply and Allied bombing raids to get Il Duce kicked to the curb. We start to see millions of hungry Americans that aren't used to 3rd World food conditions and all bets are off on what they do to rectify a lack of food.

I’m watching back to the future 2 and I realized we are in the alternate timeline where Biff (dotard) has taken over. Sadly, we are just at the beginning of his empire, but I fully expect in about 2035 that we will absolutely be in full on ruins like in alternate 1985.

Yeah I think this is a fair assessment.

As is this.

Look, I'm not trying to shit on anyone here. Even though I am frequently abrasive, my main beef is with "liberal" politicians, not your average, every day liberal, and sometimes I am bad about conflating the two.

People's beliefs are complex and often contradictory (myself included), and I am super sensitive to anti-Muslim rhetoric specifically because of hate I have personally seen directed at people I care about far too often.

So when I see card-carrying liberals describe someone like Mamdani as "dangerous", I hope you can understand why my hackles get raised, so to speak.

I get your point. Heard a discussion/debate earlier today on black Sirius on the worth of Hakeem Jeffries as Minority Leader. Some dismiss him because he takes money from AIPAC, while others see that as having nothing to do with how poorly he has managed his perception and with how little he done to energize the base. Until his position is seen as something other than a way raise monies from corporate interests, his potential as an effective leader of the Democrats will be unrealized. 

Those who believe who you take money from matters, have a point.

And that version of Biff was based on Trump.

Gotta hand it to the 1%. Co-opting the swarms of idiots in this country, many among the bottom 20%, to vote wildly against their interests for a party that has only cared about the wealthy for a long time, was an outside the box idea. Masterful gambit tbh.

GWB said once: "They call you the elite, I call you my base."

Same as it ever was.

The only difference was the richest man in the world was too stupid to believe they cared about waste/debt/fraud.   So they kicked him to the curb.

That's been the Republican play for decades.

Unfortunately, this can't be pinned on one guy. Trump is the catalyst, but this is the culmination of decades of work by people way smarter. It doesn't end with one guy's death, it'll take a huge overhaul. Remember, it'll only be bloodless "if the left allows it to be".
