  1. Worth keeping in mind this is happening only 1-2 days after the administration took an L with Kilmar coming home
  2. Fuck Trump. 6/14 can't get here soon enough.
  3. Probably FL rep Jared Moskowotz. Kinda centrist but really good with the socials and always putting on a good show on the House floor.
  4. Dude, the Dems ended up winning the presidency the last time they had a free-for-all primary in 2020. Please God, no more coronations. I think the notion that competitive primaries end up hurting the party, either party, in the general election is true only if campaign funds are limited, which will never ever again be an issue for the Presidency.
  5. I don’t care how he tries to spin this. If Garcia goes home, this is Trump caving, again. Let’s take the win. Donald is no dictator.
  6. Good news, but damn Trump is such a pussy.
  7. Seriously, we all need a pad of these. Simple message, spread everywhere.
  8. The Dow is still down like 3000 since his inauguration.
  9. This actually shouldn't be hard. Growing a spine would be a really good start. The shift to the right from 2020 to 2024 in the swing states was only 3-4 points compared to 6-8 points in the rest of the country. That doesn't even hint rigged to me.
  10. I attended our local Hands Off protest this afternoon. 200+ people gathered in front of a library with guest speakers and even a couple of F-bombs. It was downright rowdy by Sugar Land standards. I only wish they chose a place with more visibility.
  11. That poll just saved American democracy.
  12. Were tariffs against Mexico and Canada announced today? I don't see them listed in the stupid charts.
  13. Gene Wu has some solid social media game. I want to know more about the guy running in TX-18 to replace Turner.
  14. Big day at the polls in Wisconsin and Florida on April fools, of course. The Dem should win in Wisky unless Elon really can buy his way out of a 5 - 8 point deficit. The GOP has the edge in both FL seats, although FL-6 is closer than it should be due to the incompetence of their candidate. Meanwhile in Louisiana:
  15. TSLA has erased all gains since October
  16. I brought this to the Stand up for Science demonstration at Rice U today
  17. It’s high time for Anonymous to make themselves useful.
  18. As of now, the CDU and SPD will be netting 33% and 19% of total seats in the Bundestag, which is > 50% if my math is correct. So those two alone can form a governing coalition. It's all up to the CDU, but the dreaded 3-party grand coalition can be avoided. Hopefully, Germany has some solid anti-corruption laws to prevent Elmo's influence as the new government forms.
  19. Yesterday's cover
  20. How's this? https://www.thedailybeast.com/joe-rogan-responds-after-losing-top-podcast-spot-to-the-medidastouch-podcast/
  21. Alright, fellas. Time to drag this thread up from the third page. We all know where this shitshow is going. You and I won't have any other choice but to become active participants one way or another, or else watch us piss away the prosperity of our children/grandchildren/nieces/nephews/young side pieces, whatever. We might as well dedicate at least one thread on this board for real action. Thankfully, the resistance is building. Just ask Lisa. https://surlyx.com/lisamurkowski/status/1887185844882358562 The Chop Wood, Carry Water substack is a great resource for action, including call lists for Congress and much needed bits of good news. I've signed up for an email a day and I don't regret it. A general strike is already being planned. 11 million signatures needed then it's go time. Info: https://generalstrikeus.com/ Why 11 million? Because of this bit of research. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190513-it-only-takes-35-of-people-to-change-the-world Stuff's happening. There is no need to scream into the void.
  22. I wonder if there is any amount the Russians can offer the rebels to allow them to stay. If the new leadership truly is open to friendship with Israel, then they should be with Russia as well, for a price. Russia really needs those bases.
  23. We all are to blame. I remember those announcements for "[Ethnicity] [Gender] for Kamala" fundraising get-togethers on Zoom and just shook my head. I never joined any of them, but was there any strategic reason for the divisions? Like training on how to persuade your white male friends into voting for her? It was just another chance for the campaign and the base to give each other reach-arounds over how big the tent supposedly was. And yet, posters on this board loved that shit. "Oooh, my turn's coming up!" Why not "Pennsylvanians for Kamala" or "Georgians for Kamala." At least that would have made some electoral sense.
  24. He won’t feel the need to seize power unless it’s under threat, meaning things have gone off the rails and ordinary people may not feel like being passive. Plus, if traditional protests turn violent, striking is a much safer form of protest that can be done by a far larger number of people. If Trump just grifts for 4 years then I agree. Sucks that that is the best case scenario.
