Elon is getting kicked out of there and probably deported by March, when Trump gets enraged by all the “Elon shadow president?” stories.

So y'all know that theory about the movie Children of Men where it's actually just Britain that's like that and the rest of the world is still going fine? We're going to be like that, having rolled back all the advances of the last 150 years of science and medicine, while the rest of the world just continues developing.

Honestly Pronghorn should be banned for this. Then rounded up and tarred and feathered.

This right here is how you internet.

Hegseth advocates nuclear first strikes so it makes perfect sense that Ana likes him.

Lol. It’s not even Thursday!

Like you, I've been disappointed that no MAGA freaks ever want to talk shit to me in person. I think we just found our solution.

This is literally “I remember life being better when I was a child.”

Icono, you have been posting for literally decades on the various iterations of this forum that you feared you were losing the country for good. WE FUCKING GET IT.

This is definitely one of those things that's not going to happen, but it would be fucking fascinating if they actually tried it.

It involves that dude who whipped himself in the Davinci Code so it definitely doesn't generate graduates capable of forming independent thoughts.

I imagine Ana's ideal educational system is whatever religious indoctrination the worst fictional version of Opus Dei would come up with.

Do not fucking engage with pronghorn. What the fuck is wrong with you?

The real enabling act was called Trump v. United States and it's already been decreed by our benevolent super-legislators.

In my ideal alternate history scenario, Biden announces after the IRA passes that he won't seek a second term and spends the remainder of his term aggressively championing all the benefits it brings. Still not sure it would've been enough to get the Dem candidate a win, but it certainly would've been better than what we got. Dems need to focus on 2 things now: attacking billionaires and attacking the media (and these aren't always distinct). "He's the puppet of billionaires, including an illegal immigrant!" is a strong message that will play. "The media sanewashed him and lied to you about his plans because they wanted the ratings he would bring!" will play too. We need to get the type of voter who largely doesn't pay attention to think that the media is on his side, not ours, which shouldn't be that hard to sell given that it's true.

I generally agree with this, except that Johnny Sack will never tire of owning the libs. He'd gladly let Trump take every possession he has except for a computer and modem so he could keep dunking on libs online. But he's just one guy.

What are you, some sort of cop? You've got to tell us if you are, it's in the Constitution.

Hmmmmmm

That reminds me, I need to create a mutelist of the posters who refuse to recognize reality even as it's punching us in the face.

He's gotta stay fat to keep the benevolent mob boss look going.

Pritzker should be the early favorite to be the next nominee. He's got the billionaire advantage and the big ol' boy advantage and has done a good job in the current gig. He's also been substantially more progressive than Newsom, but won't come with the "California liberal" baggage. Yeah Illinois politician has its own baggage, but it's not as big a drag in national elections.

I thought you weren't Icono?

The question recurs, what will satisfy them? Simply this: We must not only let them alone, but we must somehow, convince them that we do let them alone. This, we know by experience, is no easy task. We have been so trying to convince them from the very beginning of our organization, but with no success. In all our platforms and speeches we have constantly protested our purpose to let them alone; but this has had no tendency to convince them. Alike unavailing to convince them, is the fact that they have never detected a man of us in any attempt to disturb them. These natural, and apparently adequate means all failing, what will convince them? This, and this only: cease to call slavery wrong, and join them in calling it right. And this must be done thoroughly - done in acts as well as in words. Silence will not be tolerated - we must place ourselves avowedly with them. Senator Douglas' new sedition law must be enacted and enforced, suppressing all declarations that slavery is wrong, whether made in politics, in presses, in pulpits, or in private. We must arrest and return their fugitive slaves with greedy pleasure. We must pull down our Free State constitutions. The whole atmosphere must be disinfected from all taint of opposition to slavery, before they will cease to believe that all their troubles proceed from us. I am quite aware they do not state their case precisely in this way. Most of them would probably say to us, "Let us alone, do nothing to us, and say what you please about slavery." But we do let them alone - have never disturbed them - so that, after all, it is what we say, which dissatisfies them. They will continue to accuse us of doing, until we cease saying.

It's literally the same 3 guys, over and over and over again. And we usually give Chooky a long leash.

The filibuster was literally made by accident.
