When I say GOP Delenda Est this is the shit I'm talking about!

You gotta give to the GOP.

They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

And I will note that along the way she also assuaged some of my dislike and distrust of the man.

I also wouldn't count out his appeal amongst a set of LGBTQ folks who'd really like their own first. A lesbian co-worker of mine had him as her fave in a primary at one point AND was big on him as a possible VP pick for Harris before I sold her on Walz.

people love to blame elected democrats for not using the bully pulpit because it's a lot easier to insist that elected democrats are the problem rather than people who've spent at least the last three decades willingly choosing not to learn anything new and to resent anyone who tries to tell them

Cause I was talking about the leadership in much the same way you were.

Once again, I'm from the people who survived that horror. You aren't going to win much favor with me by saying the leaders of that set of atrocities shouldn't have hanged.

And I'm not advocating for genociding the south. Don't put words in my mouth PLEASE!

hanging traitors would've gone a long way to dealing with that problem.

The south needed to be destroyed, its traitors hanged and a nation of freemen, freewomen and freedom.

Sincerely a descendant of the people who survived that hellscape.

Andrew Johnson's cowardice and southern sympathies notwithstanding

The problem was they also allowed the South to continue its rampant and wanton destruction of Black Americans. The cowardice that led to the failure of reconstruction has never been addressed nor redressed truly.

This person has 13 followers and the opinions of someone who is either deluded or doesn't live where they claim to live.

This is a very annoying kind of bait

They welcomed Joe Rogan to "the resistance"... where is he today? At the WH.....

Side note, what allegations is Dr. Hancox talking about here on Mills' side? I know the Platner shit.

Arguing that if only we’d chosen someone better (however that’s defined) than Clinton or Harris or Mills people wouldn’t have chosen to vote for the worst person alive or a nobody with a Nazi tattoo grants too much and absolves ppl of their terrible choices

Pretty tired of this mindset that it is us, the normal people that don’t fall in love with awful candidates, that are even *partially* responsible for people falling in love with awful candidates

This was completely predictable and arguably even karmically deserved, but this story does not make me feel good. Caitlyn Jenner made this bed of knives and now she has to sleep on it, but it's going to hurt so many other trans people as well.

given graham platner’s history of making, shall we say, questionable decisions, how certain are the folks backing him that swalwell-esque stuff isn’t going to drop the second we hit the general election?

Here's the problem. It ain't about it being controversial as much as it is PRACTICAL. The last time a pol tried that shit he got so roundly drubbed about it he had to back off. And that guy was FD fucking R.

Nobody has really tried touching that third rail since.

yeah. I don't actually want to be particularly generous here.

If I wanted to be more generous it could be because actors get screwed constantly and after who knows how long of that happening they just see it as one more way that's gonna happen and she's just decided there's no point in even fighting it at this point.

I mean I suspect the answer is because she got hers and doesn't really care anymore past that.

exactly.

And why do you not care about it trying to make you and your creative job obsolete? Whether it can or not why is the attempt not galling?

TAKANO: An American president used the F-word in a Sunday morning message that was seen by millions. Does this raise concerns for you about the president's mental health?

RFK Jr: The president is a bargainer and he knows how to make a deal

TAKANO: Should Trump fail a mental fitness test, would you vote to invoke the 25th amendment?

RFK Jr: There hasn't been a president who is more sane--

TAKANO: Reclaiming my time. Would you invoke the 25th amendment?

RFK Jr: President Trump is the most stable--

TAKANO: Apparently not

"Millions of Americans are wondering if this president is delusional and thinks he's Jesus Christ" -- Brilliant line of questioning here from Rep. Takano to RFK Jr about Trump's nutso social media posts and what it says about his mental health

Eh. My host eats an animal that's arguably smarter and more "human" than beef a good amount (pork) so glass houses on his end.

But even that he's cut down to once a week and it's actually been longer than that since his last one.

Also proof of this: The Biden Admin made a climate law its signature legislative initiative and basically none of the ostensible climate groups were happy about this at all.
