I have seen posts imply that she is does this out of ignorance or stupidity. These people are not stupid or ignorant. They know exactly what they are doing and who they are doing it for. It’s easier to brush it off as being stupid than admit that politics is now 20% governing and 80% fund raising.

When you put it in minutes spent it seems like a lot. But then I look at my /played in WoW…. Hopefully I can actually speak some Japanese when this is all said and done because I certainly can’t cast Avengers Shield after all that time in WoW.

I agree that Kash Patel, who he is, and what he stands for SHOULD be the story this cycle. However, I disagree that pardoning your son is a big deal. Especially for a non-violent crime. 99% of Americans would do the exact same thing. He just shouldn’t have said he wouldn’t in the first place.

This is the look of a toddler that has been caught in the middle of unloading into his diaper.

All joking aside, Kash Patel is a true fanatic with absolute fealty to Trump and Trump alone . He will wield the FBI as a weapon against anyone that Trump feels has wronged him. Truly dangerous.

These confirmation hearings are going to be peak entertainment. The level of crazy we will experience will be off the charts. I would almost say I was looking forward to watching them if I wasn’t so worried that they will actually be conformed by the spineless sycophants in the Senate.

I keep hearing discussions around the Democratic messaging issue. It’s more of a listening issue. When someone says “The economy is pretty bad, I can’t afford groceries and rent is too high” you can’t respond “Actually, inflation is down and job growth is up so you’re wrong everything is fine”

Replace olives with mushroom and I’m right there with you.

It’s not just an election time issue either. Democrats need to stop being so serious and on message all the time. Just go on YouTube/Twitch/Kick/Podcasts and have a conversation like a human, not a politician. Yes you can push policies and discuss positions but stop being so robotic about it.

The Democratic Party has become way too uptight and judgy. For most of my life the GOP was the pearl clutching party. Perpetually offended by things they deemed offensive (video games, music, etc.) and the Democrats were the “cool” party. Sometime around 2014-2015 that flipped.

I can see the parallel you are going for. However, your public streets don’t have 100,000 people within earshot and what you say doesn’t live on indefinitely. It’s not a question of what you saying being public, it’s the reach and longevity of what you are saying.
