She was a harmless aging nerd up until the 16 election combined with Covid broke her.

Basically Sasha wants to be accepted and think she is a part of something important. That was also true when she was a left feminist. But her need for sycophancy is being rendered moot by AI.

Fictional TV depictions were greenlit immediately and out within a year, many more in 2003. It was a natural result of being numbed seeing the towers collapse replayed a million times on the news.

The “God Bless America” moment was only for a couple weeks or so. The last truly solemn occasion was the NYC march of the last steel rubble being removed.

Team America World Police was making 9/11 jokes way back in 2004. Even 25th Hour in 2002 had flippant remarks made in Edward Norton’s mirror rant, and Barry Pepper saying “Fuck the Times, I read the Post, the air is fine” about Ground Zero. It’s underestimated how quickly we were desensitized.

Biden was the only person to beat Trump in an election. He did his job.

Don’t throw us in the briar patch.

The problem is that this is an example of people telling the truth by calling each other liars. Tucker has always been a fraud and a smug prick. Why did anyone want his fleas.

Napoleon had his own phrase "An army marches on his stomach."

His skin looked like holy hell at last week's hearing. He looks at least 5 years older than his age.

I have hopes his hard boozing and drugging days will catch up with a vengeance shortly.

That, and they want to keep him close. As soon as he's out he can work on running in '28.

More like screw top Barefoot wine.

And as traditionally a beautiful young blonde haired blue eyed woman as you could imagine.

I’ve had a flat tire and still caught my flight.

It reminds me of the line from Platoon: “Sheeyet, you’ve got to be rich in the first place to think like that.”

A person in hell wants a glass of water. No kidding. However the stats need to tell the story.

Red state organizers who keep pushing this message only have to do one simple thing: produce results. Elections are won by counting votes, not the nice people you meet while rallying.

These nice, good hearted kitchen sink maga people I met while canvassing just isnt going to cut it. It's how do you get voters to the polls whether it's them or anyone else. Biden was the best president for poor Americans than anyone in decades.

One thing that struck me about that piece is how little she says about what should be done. Except don't call them racist white trash. Well, no Dem is. It's Trump who's calling them poor white trash. Dems are speaking on the offense thats being done to black and brown communities.

No one's saying give up on persuadable voters, but now that the damage is done, we have to be realistic on whom that is.

The point is this article is based on a falsehood. The example is from back in 22. Biden did invest heavily in rural America. He did exactly what the author wanted. Any attempt at rural organizing had 7 years to produce results. We are where we are now.

It sucks for either party to be in power during bad times. But now that BBB is passed, there's very little that can be promised for poor people. And Kamala did improve Dem numbers with Boomers, so the people who were paying attention did get the message.

We need more votes that can be had. We dont need to beg for idiots. Four years of the best president for poor people since LBJ is the best case can be made. They didn't change their mind. Both sides suck doesn't mean shit.

Biden was such a good president for progressive causes that AOC and Bernie were fucking on his side during the attempt to oust him! What more can be said than that?

An article like this would be naive in 2017, but it's balderdash in 2026. Just more "flyover" mumbo jumbo. Biden did absolutely everything he could for rural America: community health centers, infrastructure, education, SNAP, prescription drugs. Both sides suck is a tale told by an idiot.

How did Arnie pull another fast one in 2006? It should have been a Jesse Ventura one and done. Everyone in CA 2007 onward thought he was the worst governor ever.

Justice involved population is a current dot gov term not advocacy speech. It may not be the best for a stump speech, but advocates always use terms and shorthands. But thats true of every professional: dentists, plumbers, electricians. The more important point is trust.

I personally prefer The Abyss’ shorter ambiguous nonverbal ending in which we just see “Love you wife” and we and Bud get the point without it being made literal.

Also Lovejoy taking the gun and continuing to hunt Rose. It’s a visually interesting set piece of seeing the dining hall flooded, but dramatically it makes no sense why Lovejoy wants to submerge himself in freezing water just to shoot a girl, and structurally we’re just repeating the same crisis.
