I hate to say it, but this seems like copium. I’d love to be wrong about that.

Aww, did the “fuck your feelings” crowd get their little feelings hurt? Who are the snowflakes again?

Ron Johnson should be thankful that Tommy Tuberville won his election, because now he’s no longer the dumbest person in the Senate.

It’s all part of the plan. These R states exit ERIC, their voter data gets completely fucked, and then they say “look at how fucked up our voter data is! We need to do a massive purge of our voter rolls!” And then they proceed to purge everyone in blue and purple counties. Rinse and repeat until there are no statewide democrats.

I hate Iowa nazis.

Adult diapers and their contents.

How dare you. Do you think it’s cheap to operate and maintain his luxury apartment on wheels?

I would love to see a trillion humans living in the solar system. If we had a trillion humans, we would have, at any given time, 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins.

So if one in a billion people are an Einstein or Mozart, does that mean there are 8 Mozarts and 8 Einsteins alive in the world right now? I wonder who would make the list?

Funny, the “fuck your feelings” pro-Trump crowd seems to perceive the state of the economy based entirely on their feelings.

The stock market isn’t the economy, at least as most Americans experience it, though it is the same metric that Trump and his followers used to show how “strong” the economy was during his term.

If I had a nickel for every time some Trump apologist said “sure, Trump’s a jerk, but how’s your 401(k)?” during 2017-2021, I’d have… a lot of nickels.

Would not be surprised if he was a spy.

Nah, the article says he was wandering around the plane trying to steal food and chat with strangers. That’s a lot of interactions over the course of an eight-hour flight. A spy would surely keep a much lower profile than that… Or maybe that’s how he throws people off his trail!

Passing just about anything in the Senate requires 60 votes (a filibuster-proof majority). They currently have 50 members. No Republicans would ever vote for anything that would be perceived as a Democratic victory. Saying that 50<60 is not making excuses, it’s just basic math.

But since Texas’ problems are Red State Problems, Democrats don’t give a shit on the national level.

It’s why cannabis is still illegal at the federal level. It’s why the federal minimum wage wasn’t increased. It’s why Democrats didn’t bother to codify Roe. If it’s a Red State Problem, it’s not a problem. It’s “got mine, fuck you” writ large.

You’re right that there need to be laws at the federal level, but you’re completely incorrect about democrats not giving a shit about passing legislation. The reality is that there aren’t enough votes to pass any of the legislation you mentioned in the House or the Senate, and the people who are blocking the progress are Republicans.

For example, the Raise the Wage Act of 2023 would massively raise the minimum wage over the next few years. Every single sponsor of the bill is a Democrat. It will not pass because Republicans will probably kill it in committee before it ever gets to a vote.

On abortion, Democrats have been trying to codify protections into law since 2013. Each time, the bills have been killed by Republicans.

I hope his servants spit in his food

Odds are that whatever he ate yesterday wasn’t prepared by his servants, but rather by employees of the local McDonald’s franchise.

Google has been doing this kind of thing for a while. If you try to use Google Meet in Firefox, you can’t use things like background blurring. Spoofing Chrome works in that situation as well.

I don’t disagree with you. But there’s also a flip side. Nazis and other bigots wouldn’t be so open in their bigotry, which could lead to them recruiting fewer people to their cause. Also, state actors such as Russia and China wouldn’t be able to sow mis- and disinformation so readily.

For the record, I believe Nikki’s plan is dumb and will never, ever happen. I’m just using my imagination to see some potential for benefits.

Unpopular opinion: internet discourse would be slightly more civil if people’s real names were attached to their Internet Hot Takes.

But yeah, have fun enforcing that, Nikki.

Ah yes, that icon of Congressional Decorum, Matt Fucking Gaetz.

The GOP base is way too racist AND sexist to ever make her the nominee.

He probably just wants to spend more time with his girlfriend, who is 100% not fictional.
