Also his new clothes are - quite . . so . . very.

Jebus, Marie and Jospeh! What a maroon.

I think a lot of people specifically avoid reading news about it. They do not notice in their scrolling when google tucks an ad in there, though.

You'd think a world-class corporate news organiztion like Associated Press would be able to shoehorn that into the title somehow. And yet.

I read it as "this is the political reality of the housing situation. If you don't have a plan to overcome this reality, your ideology isn't at issue."

That's not blaming the "leftists" for NIMBY. That's stating that NIMBY and zoning laws are what the "leftists" or anyone else who's trying to get housing for people has to deal with.

When he says "I don't care how much you love working people" what I think he's saying is, and I'm going to paraphrase here so bear in mind this is not his actual words but my subjective interpretation; "'Leftists' - people who are unable or unwilling to identify as Democrats because they are so pure of ideology and full of naïevite want to help working people but THEY HAVE NO PLAN TO DO SO that doesn't involve magic hand-waving, or the immediate total restructuring of American democracy itself, and therefore ARE UNABLE TO DO SO. Therefore their very loud pronouncements of love for working people is irrelevant. People who actually love working people find ways to get things done for them."

So to recap; NIMBY isn't the fault of evil leftists, it's just one of the hurdles anyone trying to get housing built needs to overcome, and so-called leftists can yap all day about helping the working class, but if they can't do anything for them what's the point?

I didn't take them out of context.

You did.

He admitted he thinks there are some great candidates that we should support but doesn't have the courage to back the one needing it most, or alternatively he doesn't support him.

He voiced support for the candidates he was there to voice support for. He was not talking about Mamdani by design, as stated. Saying he ignored him is the definition of taking him out of context.

I didn't imply he dissed mamdani, just that he's a coward for not talking about one of the most watched races in the country at the moment.

Do you even hear yourself.

The DNC is actively not supporting the winner of a dem primary.

Stop being wrong.

I'm also not saying he's mean. He's either a coward or doesn't care. Possibly both.

Okay we're done.

Oh. Sure. But we've already done all of this before. His cult's brainwashing will continue unabated throughout this term.

You deliberately took his words out of context so you could lambast him with an imaginary dis of Mamdani.

The NJ race is a former Navy pilot who already beat five other candidates for this race. You want to say no one else had a chance?She won four terms in the US Congress. It’s her or the republiQan now; you had four years to get someone “who would help people” and once again there’s nothing.

This is bullshit “leftist” whingeing that mean old Obama and the mean old DNC are keeping the socialists down with their cheatin’ ways and it’s bullshit.

Socialists, communists, and whatever ist you wanna ist still have to run, still have to raise and spend large amounts of money, and still have to put up with mindless attacks from the right and, now, “left” to get into a position to help people and that’s before they do a single thing in office. It’s really difficult and mostly boring so if you can’t be bothered to find someone to support, try not to cast us down the well of fascist incompetence again.

How you figure he’s blaming “the leftists” for NIMBY?

What

Nooooooooo not all my pr0ns!!

No. You’re wrong. Even as late as 2015 he was able to answer a question. What we’re unwilling witnesses to is his stupidity and serious cognitive decline.

As Democrats debate who should lead the party, Obama encouraged them to channel their energy into the governor’s races in New Jersey and Virginia, saying the off-year elections could be “a big jumpstart for where we need to go.”

“Stop looking for the quick fix. Stop looking for the messiah. You have great candidates running races right now. Support those candidates,” Obama said, calling out the New Jersey and Virginia elections, according to the excerpts of his remarks.

“There’s been, I gather, some argument between the left of the party and people who are promoting the quote-unquote abundance agenda. Listen, those things are not contradictory. You want to deliver for people and make their lives better? You got to figure out how to do it,” he said.

“I don’t care how much you love working people. They can’t afford a house because all the rules in your state make it prohibitive to build. And zoning prevents multifamily structures because of NIMBY,” he said, referring to “not in my backyard” views. “I don’t want to know your ideology, because you can’t build anything. It does not matter.”

O noes bougie lib has a points! Quick, blame something on that centrist think tank that went bankrupt in 2011!

“I don’t want to know your ideology, because you can’t build anything. It does not matter.”

Dag, yo.

So how much data would I lose when it dies?

Edit for those who didn’t read the smirk, yes 36Tb, as a way to point out what someone answered below: if you’re using a drive this big have your data recovery procedures on fleek.

He's got bad genes. His dad had it too, and his mom for that matter.

I don't think he's going to survive this stretch of an administration, but I also don't think that's going to be a good thing.

tfw anyone needs to be convinced he's demented

por que no los dos?

Sure
