    The point was not that it was of high voting salience as an issue, but that it would have been huge news and get attention for what she had to say. This is the thing Trump is good at - e.g when he threatens to invade mexico over immigration/drugs - the point is not actually to do it, but to position himself as heterodox on those issues

    The hippie punching thing is more metaphorical, of course. It's more a matter of reminding the kids of the consequences that happen when Democrats are not united when it matters most. (Nader split the party, Dubya won, we had the completely unnecessary war in Iraq that destabilized the entire Middle East, Bernie split the party, we had Trump I, and now...just as we're standing on the precipice of the end of Democracy as we've known it, these recycled Bernie bro socialist kids want to split the party again...as though we have learned nothing)...

    ...so, the punching is more so admonishing, ridiculing and shaming...whatever it takes really, to wake people up to the reality of the situation. We have to have party loyalty and unity or we're well and truly doomed. These socialist kids who hate the Dems have to decide if they are better off with fascism, which seems ludicrous and 100% self-defeating, or, will they stand and fight with Democrats...but people really struggle with what it means to live in a two-party system where you might get some of what you want...or fascism.

    Pray you never see a decipede, or (shivers) a pede. The dekapede has been rumored but nobody has ever encountered one and survived. Hectopedes are getting in to kaiju territory.

    A gastropod could be a pede, at least while living; once stomped by Chet from Weird Science it would morph into a kill-a-pede

    He was, during the campaign. He's transitioned to a permanent position in the Federal government that even people here would find non-controversial and boring.

    Gregg Phillips has been deeply enmeshed in the election denial industrial complex. Like, he was heavily involved with 2000 Mules.

    Trump has tabbed him to lead FEMA.

    this shit is like watching one of those slasher franchises like Friday the 13th and thinking wait, they already killed someone this exact way in the 3rd sequel.
    Just try us, dammit! Just try us!

    Sure, but my point is that talk about something that is relevant to a lot of people. Gaza is not. Immigration from Mexico is.

    Tourists from 42 countries will have to submit 5 years of social media history to enter U.S. under Trump plan - CBS News https://share.google/j2rBqyE7KKrthNd3F

    Sorry if a repost as I legit can't keep up.

    This is so ********ed up. The list includes many democratic, western countries like the UK.

    You ain’t seen nothing yet (to quote the great Canadian band, and let’s be honest, there haven’t been many), we’re still sleep walking.

    We actually have folks on the left who believe this moment calls for socialism.

    It’s the existential struggle of our time, sorry, I won’t be silenced by you or any other dork. I’m more interested in how we fight back than with bemoaning the outrage of the day. YMMV

    Your solution to Trump fascism (expressed probably 5,000+ times now) is for the Left to move right. IC stinkin thinkin was rejected BIGLY by the electorate in November and in subsequent special elections. If ICing is so awesome, then Fetterman would be the star of the party rn.

    Someone asked which dementia test it is. This says it’s the Montreal Cognitive Assessment.

    https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/12/trump-dementia-and-the-25th-amendment

    This website isn’t the kind that would doctor a photo to make Trump look worse. I tired to post the image but it’s too large. Anyway, check it out.

    But not on a full stomach. Unless you’re a swimsuit model.

    I’ve never seen anyone look more like Jabba the Hutt than that.
