Really sucks this idiot is about to be reelected. Again.

Plenty of better brisket elsewhere. Jerky too. About the only thing they have that I consider exclusive is buc-cee bites. Those are admittedly pretty addictive if you like that flavor (and I do), but I’m not going to miss them.

She’s not really full of shit, but she is being kind of bitchy. Meanwhile, Xavier’s just a trolling asshole.

^^^THIS RIGHT HERE! ^^^

It’s very hard to overstate how much power this asshole’s wealth gives him. People joke about it all the time, but he is effectively above the law. For some reason, people equate his wealth with intelligence, so they listen to him. When the disagree with anything he says, that wealth/intelligence pops up and they assume he knows something they don’t.

He is an incredibly dangerous person. Especially so, given his obvious fascist and racist tendencies.

Not to mention the skill of moving around a wedding in an unobtrusive manner so as to both capture great shots and not distract from the ceremony too much. A good wedding photographer is worth more than $100-300. But, people getting married should get what they can afford. Even if that’s a ride to the courthouse and your friend with the newest smartphone that has the better camera. Great photos are nice to have. Any photo from your wedding is going to bring back the memory.

Gave you an upvote b/c I disagree with downvoting people stating what is likely true. It’s not like you’re being disingenuous, a troll, or anything like that.

That said, I disagree that it doesn’t matter. The only way the Democratic Party will ever go back to being any kind of progressive party is for the voters to defeat centrist primary candidates.

Will she win the general election? Unlikely, but it’s not like her primary victory doesn’t count. It’s a message to the party, even if she loses. Stop nominating centrist Republicans who are fine with LGBTQ & abortion rights. Start nominating people who want to serve & better their communities rather than enrich themselves. People are fed up, and they’re starting to do something about that. On the national scale, it starts with primary victories.

As more voters see people like Mamdani actually doing good things for regular people (and of course not imposing Sharia law like all the right wing talking heads “predicted”), the more democratic socialism will lose the taint it’s been given by both major parties.

Weird thing is this is the “government takeover” the 2nd amendment nuts have been screaming about for generations. Not at all surprised that they’re mostly silent now. Also not at all surprised it their own political party who’s doing this.

Wow. Didn't see that coming. Not at all. 

“I will tear down your corrupt system, even if it’s the last thing I do in my life. I will go all the way—I am not afraid,” she wrote to the First Lady on X. “Maybe you should be afraid of what I know… of who you are, and who your husband is.”

What.

The fuck.

Are you waiting for?

Actually, the other side mostly wants things to stay the same. Their constituents, on the other hand, would like to see better healthcare, education, unions, and stronger safety nets. But since the other side aren’t fascists, their voters are stuck with them.

Those “good old days” were propped up by strong unions, excellent public education, high taxes on the ultra-wealthy, and not much regulation beyond not letting another stock market crash happen (See also: rivers literally on fire in Ohio and elsewhere).

So, 3 Good Things, and 1 really Bad Thing (that makes a lot of money). We’re currently speed running back towards the Bad Thing, we’ve effectively killed unions, public education has long since been gutted, and taxing the ultra-wealthy at all is basically un-American. So…

All I could think about while watching Carney’s speech, aside from how much I’d forgotten what a real leader sounded like, was what kind of bullshit word salad the orange asshole would belch out of his McDonalds hole.

Don’t threaten me with a good time, Canada.

I would extend this to all political appointees. Including judges and justices.

In fairness, they know exactly why they did it:

For The Idiot: Israel needs our help to stop the 40-something-year-old "imminent" threat of an Iranian nuclear bomb (that was supposedly already stopped earlier last year when we "thoroughly destroyed" thir enrichment labs."

For Bibi, it's an opportunity to realize Israel's version of manifest destiny, and to kill people he doesn't like. Remember how everyone was all, "Boy I hope W doesn't go nuclear on the middle east" after 9/11? 10/7 has had the same effect on Bibi, except he was predisposed for the merciless violence. He's never seen these adversaries as "people." W rarely thought about them at all.

Spain’s been going fairly hard lately, and I’m loving it!

I hate this timeline so much. 

Not just crumbling. They’re being actively attacked and simultaneously dismantled by the country’s own leadership, and at the behest of the country’s wealthiest. If they succeed, this will be a lesson in history akin to the fall of the Roman Empire.

Don’t be evil, Larry.
