Gonna be brutally honest: at this point, I’m becoming suspicious that the DNC was acting as controlled opposition, in which case it would be absolutely justified and necessary to burn the Democratic Party down. Seriously, how are they so fucking incredible at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? It genuinely beggars belief how reliably they manage to do that, and then fail to press any advantage when they DO somehow manage to eke out some small sliver of control and agency.

Any number of things:

• an old F-150 driving past the end of Andrews AFB at a convenient time with a battery of refurbished FIM-92s set up in the bed
• same, but with some hobbyist-refurbished 40mm bofors
• same, but with some hobbyist-refurbished 20mm oerlikons
• drone swarms with some energetically-exothermic chemical components
• sabotage (beastie boys intensifies)
• fuel contamination
• any sort of rapid unscheduled exothermic disassembly

The options for a creative Minecraft user are quite numerous

He is now, and always was, a neoliberal. He just aligned himself to blue politics for a while.

It’s not surprising, but it is disappointing. He’s showing his true allegiance, and it’s not to a political party. It’s to a socioeconomic class, and that socioeconomic class is “rich people”.

I’ll try spinning! That’s a good trick!

From where I’m standing, it looks a whole hell of a lot like the Democratic establishment players are handing power directly to Republicans to rule completely unopposed, so I’m really not sure what your point is.

I hope he tries to steal something in front of one of their police

Societal tendency to just forget bad shit after the generation the bad shit happened to mostly dies off is… a consistently problematic and frustrating trend through modern history

The “argument” was that the idiots who enacted the tariffs without understanding what tariffs are were trying to push the blame anywhere else, and pretty much everyone has clocked their bullshit

Rogue One is far and away a better movie though

Any Portuguese here who can shed some more nuanced light on the political situation? Are the left-wing parties there really that out of touch/ineffectual, or is there something else going on?

There’s a new DNC now

Huh? Looks an awful lot like the old one to me

Send more blue shells

Sounds like your partner may be somewhat narcissistic, and definitely emotionally abusive if they redirect and gaslight you that regularly

This is the silliest pairing lol
