I’m not infallible but I’m inclined to say I’m right and your memory is failing you :) I don’t think the election changes but Walz political instincts for the moment are likely why he’d have beaten Harris in an open primary.
i'm confused what we're disagreeing on. just who was doing the "weird" messaging or its efficacy? i will def admit i could be wrong on whether kamala herself was doing it, but i still think it was a good way to message
The bottom line is that no matter the severity of the situation, no matter what the functional state of the democracy is, the only thing the Democrats believe in is action from the constituency that produces the political space for "moderate" Republicans (who of course in *private* say they are worried but can't do anything because of their own constituency being psychotic and captured) to join them in their efforts to thwart the Trump mission. That's it. They are waiting for the congressional majority to erode and that's the only thing they think they can do. It's unimaginative and it's cowardly, and if we expect anything beyond that from them, we're setting ourselves up for disappointment.
Who was doing it and why it stopped. Walz was the one saying it and it wasn’t Kamala. It stopped as soon as Kamala chose him. That’s my recollection. And my stance is that dc strategists are too close to the sun and, God bless them, are too soft to the world by largely being among polite company and doing jobs that are meant to help people.
Man baby starting to capitulate in no time. He'll claim a victory despite essentially getting nothing out of this.
I guess there are some dems heading to impacted offices today (presumably with cameras) so that's better...
The normie mind cant conceive of the reality that their elected republicans will gleefully watch their neighbors' daughters die in childbirth as a celebration of gods will. Like it literally happens, gets reported on, and the normie goes "that sounds absurd, i dont believe it" and vote r again
Posting because this is the first I've seen this level of detail about the types of data (and the fact that they've achieved the access they sought) confirmed
Pretty disingenuous if that person is citing an article from 2019 I think people should get real comfortable with the fact the Biden administration fucking sucked at managing the border and immigration at large, considering they couldn’t control a conversation about it.
It was walz but it didn’t stop immediately after he was picked as VP, but it ramped down with a week or two iirc.
Would love to know how Trump or anyone in his administration plans to crackdown on the guns going south w/o pissing off all the 2A folks.
Walz endorsing David Hogg and thinking he is the guy to turn around the Gen Z Men problem makes me question his political instincts.
I’m unaware of what the current Mexican troop numbers are at the border and what their mission is. Was their president willing to move 10k more? And the first thing I do to prove this is a fraud and not necessary wouldn’t be to cite a fucking 2019 article.
This must be why the djia bounced back. I've only been on my phone this morning, I got pissed thinking the market was still thinking tariffs aren't a big deal.
AOC is a minority woman, so go ahead and cross her off the list of ever being able to do anything meaningful nationwide. She can be a mouthpiece but this country is far too deranged to ever elect her to any meaningful position of power. Plus, she's been a bogeyman for the right-wing ecosystem for years now.
Here’s the new thing my idiot family members are sharing on Facebook, in case anyone doubts how far gone this country is. These people will never admit they are wrong. Anyone who thinks he/she was better off on Nov 5, 2024 than he/she … (not “they” because THERE IS AN ENGLISH GRAMMAR RULE FOR SINGULAR AND PLURAL PRONOUNS!!!) … is sadly living in a misconceived shell created by the real puppet masters! The price of eggs alone should be evidence enough!!! I am noticing that there are some folks on here doing some serious whinning about the Trump administration. So I thought I would post some advice to help you get through your little crisis. 1. Accept the fact that this is the leadership that we, working middle class Americans wanted. We are pulling the economic weight in this country and we are tired of pulling the weight of those that do not contribute. 2. If you haven't already, get a job. Every business in the country is hiring. And you get paid for the work you do And the harder you work and the more you learn, the faster you will advance and the more you will earn. It's an amazing concept. 3. Understand that if you are a citizen or a legal alien that you are not going to get deported. I don't care what CNN says. 4. Tariffs are a bargaining chip. When you are in business you make deals, and sometimes you have to play hardball. That is how you get the deals you desire. 5. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects you from discrimination by age, sex, race etc. DEI openly violates this. Democrats want you to believe the opposite is true because they value your vote more than your quality if life. 6. It's not the government's money it is your money. You absolutely should give a damn about how it is spent. 7. We are not the World Bank. If other countries need help they should raise their own finances. I don't recall receiving any hurricane relief money from India or China. 8. Drill baby drill. Want to know why? Because we have it. Are electric cars the future? Not in their current form. There is way more oil in the ground than lithium, and guess where most of that is, China. Want food prices to come down? Then energy costs have to come down. And that means oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Unicorn farts won't power a factory. 9. The economy and the security of the country are far more important than your feelings, get over it. 10. There are men and there are women. Simple as that. 11. Education is to establish a learning core that prepares a child for the real, working, world. Anything else is wrong. 12. Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States and he won in a mathematical landslide. Get over it. Copy & Paste
think it tanked . the other guy he was doing it with moved on from Resist Influencer to work/promote Polymarket
from my understanding of this, he argued to IACHR in 2021 that he and his partner should be given amnesty in the United States because they are gay. Seems the Biden Administration granted him amnesty. Immediately turns MAGA grifter in the far right Cuban exile community when he gets here and ends up getting himself arrested for driving without a valid license and failure to appear a few months ago. Was also being accused of fraud with apparently some credibility by numerous people. Now he's being deported.
SIAP but this guy - who actually managed to get himself fired from the first Trump Administration for his white nationalism, is now the acting Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs
Press Conference at USAID has been good, but I wish they would stop acting like they don't know Elon's or any other tech bro motivations. Mencius Moldbug (Yarvin) should be a household name before the end of the week. They are placing a good amount of blame on them doing the bidding of Russia and China, which is good. I just wish they'd start blasting the thoughts of Yarvin on every social media platform available.
I think it was picking up traction over the weekend on the MSM. There are several town halls in DC area districts today, and several senators have sent emails to their supporters regarding the federal employee issues. Hopefully momentum starts to build.
Here’s what we need: Someone get in Trump’s ear and tell him that Elon keeps telling people he’s the real president and Trump doesn’t know shit. Then tell him they can fix this by deporting Elon, and confiscating Twitter, Tesla and Space X which they can then transfer to Ivanka.
They want us sick and dying. It's a war on our cities and inner suburbs. It's a war and we're getting our asses kicked. Step 1 - recognize that they want us all dead.
every single dem should just say "President Elon" every third sentence and Trump would fire that mofo in a week
