  • if all the “vote Blue No Matter Who” centrists actually meant what they say… it wouldn’t matter.

    The problem is that there are 2%-3% of 'swing voters' who are incredibly low-information and not 'vote blue no matter who'. And 2-3% is what US presidential elections are decided by.

  • No, we can excuse lack of refinement in talent, but not racism.

    I love Lovecraft's work, but fuck is he incredibly racist.

  • Spicy air

  • Shipping aid that is actively being destroyed by the Israelis is... an interesting way to piss away money.

  • As a history major, even a lot of academic papers from 40-50 years ago were stunningly intentionally blind to homosexual subtext. It was never universal, but it definitely was common enough to be worthy of mention. Nowadays most publishings are pretty open about the possibility of someone being homosexual.

  • Separately, the bill contains provisions for $9.15 billion in humanitarian assistance to civilians in Gaza and the West Bank, amongst other places.

    Which itself is absurd, but in a slightly different way.

  • Forgive me if I don’t worry about the guy making the kinds of memory errors most of us do.

    Indeed. I was very close with my paternal grandparents. They both passed in the same year.

    I couldn't tell you what year that was.

    Most people don't mentally catalogue events according to the date.

  • I do so enjoy not being in a death camp...

  • It only takes one GOP rep to threaten a vote of no-confidence anymore, right? Might be enough to make Mike Johnson fold and allow the vote.

  • Senators backed a procedural motion by 67-32, exceeding the 60-vote threshold to advance the bill. Seventeen Republicans voted in favor, in a surprising shift after they blocked the broader bill on Wednesday.

    Please let this pass. Ukraine needs our support.

  • "Freedom of speech means you can express opinions in your own property, not anywhere in public. And if you rent, that's not your property." - SCOTUS 2025

  • "We can't possibly rule that the 14th Amendment can be enforced, because then we might have to decide against the right-wing using complete bullshit instead of an actual, literal insurrection." - SCOTUS

  • No, no, don't worry, the Supreme Court ruling that the plain language of the Constitution must be interpreted in ever-narrower ways (except when it helps the right-wing) is totally not troubling at all.

  • I mean, yeah it’s disappointing but hopefully a legal case can prove he in incited an insurrection and then states can remove him from the ballot.

    "Trial was too close to an election. Political. Overruled."

  • There have been tensions between the two since last year. Not dishonorable so much as a question of strategy - or politics.

  • Literally have commented on the conflict between Zelenskyy and Zaluzhni before. But you keep licking those boots and pretending that "Lack of currently trained infantry in a sector" is "Literally no more men left to recruit".

  • "Weird how when something is in the news, say for attacking civilian shipping in the most used sea lane in the world, it gets more scrutiny! I am going to attribute this to Imperialist Scheming(tm)"
