The equivalent of a "Tizla strategy" for the US would be Mitt Romney running on a platform of overturning Citizens United, banning gerrymandering, court reform, and jailing half the administration. And I mean, if that were how ol' Mittens were rolling, I'd at least hear him out!
ok actual lol
this is so profoundly dishonorable
This would be more persuasive if there wasn't really clear evidence of large persuasion gains, especially outside of Dixie.
"Few approve of how Donald Trump is handling the cost of living" – Overall: 33-67 – Immigration: 40-59 – Iran: 32-67 – Economy: 30-70 – Cost of living: 23(!)-76 "The nationwide poll was conducted April 16-20, 2026 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 2,596 adults. The overall margin of sampling error is +/- 3.4 percentage points."
There's no other way to say it: This AP-NORC poll is atrocious for Trump.
– Overall: 33-67
– Immigration: 40-59
– Iran: 32-67
– Economy: 30-70
– Cost of living: 23(!)-76
37% of Republicans disapprove of his handling of the economy, 47% disapprove on cost of living.

In extending the ceasefire Trump further underlines the dead-end he now finds himself in. He doesn’t know how to end the war on terms that he believes would save face.
Wrote about the wheels coming off the house majority, as Johnson lost two key votes in less than 24 hours, and both in ways that suggest he has permanent problems with his moderate wing...and with everyone else. www.publicnotice.co/p/mike-johns...
Its so funny to do this over Trump. You already look like a fool but it will be even worse within the next two years
i’d like to once again welcome the reactionary catholics to the cafeteria.

I wonder just how far this cry for separation of Church and State goes for the goodly Bishop.
Bishop Barron clarifies that the Church has no right to condemn specific wars and has to defer to Trump, he's just fully sold out
as far as i can tell "infrasound" is fake which is annoying because actual noise pollution is very real and has very measurably bad health effects
Is the data center infrasound thing real or is it like the water thing?
This video contains a frankly impressive amount of contrition relative to his clear refusal to admit he was wrong about anything.
Like he spends the whole time performing tormented regret without demonstrating any actual regrets, it's masterful.
Warsh claimed that the Wall Street Journal had bad sources. Their source was Donald Trump himself. Either Trump lied to the Journal or Warsh just committed perjury.
The year is 1969. Man lands on the moon. Back on Earth, the Concorde flies its first test for a commercial supersonic airline.
The year is 2026. Man circles the moon and will, a few years later, land. Back on Earth, there is a concept of a plan for commercial supersonic flights.
In a first, I reported an account whose last and second post - from a week ago - was a complaint that they were suspended from X for tweeting "Hitler was right" and asking whether Bluesky would do the same, and by the time I hit the "back" button they'd gotten their answer: poof, account annihilated
Hes running in Michigan, so definitely state level pol thing
Gotta determine when state level pols are being legitimately stupid vs doing state level pol things
Granted, there are some states (AZ) where this venn diagram is close to a circle
The thing is you have a Secretary of Defense who quite literally does not think germs are real, he explicitly rejects germ theory
The question to ask isn't "why did pete do (x)," it's "why did roger wicker vote to confirm a guy who literally doesn't think germs are real"
Everything to these lying grifters is a coup except the actual coup they attempted.
Here's Dort RTing a thread -- multiple times -- by DataRepublican where she alleges a 'deep state' plot to stage a "color revolution" (including senior mil leaders) and that the DeepState wants Driscoll because he is a weak Ivy Leaguer, maybe even in on the plot, whereas Hegseth will stop it
Exactly. Being assertive is fine, being a domineering control freak is toxic (and shows weakness, in fact). Being courageous is great, taking foolish risks is toxic. Etc. And all of this is true for women too!
It's very telling that a lot of these people don't understand nuance. No one saying being assertive is toxic. What they are saying is taking shit so far you come across like an asshole is toxic
The takeaway no one wants to hear is that if you're waiting for some influencer to give you permission to be a man, then you never were and never will be one.
You can't sell that though, so no one talks about it.
This shit is so 2016. The unending dialog and navel gazing about gender is as exhausting as it is boring. I never understood why Junger was some authority on PTSD, but now we have to suffer his expertise about "masculinity."
Dort posting about how he's awake against the nightmare (the nightmare is the jews) .
Jennica is obviously fucking insane, like "has cooked her brain to the point she's indistinguishable from someone with schizophrenia" but dort, boy, I dunno
Kinda seems suboptimal a FGO is applaudingly RTing stuff saying his service secretary is part of a jew plot to depose the president
Not actually much milder, because the other thing happening in that triumph is that the soldiers are singing bawdy, mocking songs about their general!
It's essentially a milder version of the reported tradition of the man standing behind the triumphant general saying "Memento mori", yes?
It is telling that a man like DJT cannot afford to be humbled in such a manner, let alone in public.
