Irremarkable

This will be his legacy. Opening the door wide open to the wolves and supporting the worst genocide since Rwanda. And he deserves it.

An old white man with cancer that he announced a month ago. He should be focusing on his treatment, not adding more to his plate.

Probably the single benefit of him being as old as he is. He had polio as a kid. He knows exactly how bad that shit is. He might be a stupid, evil motherfucker, but even he isn’t that stupid.

That doesn’t much matter when the psychotic theocrats are going to be the ones in the positions of power

Am I going crazy or is that link going to an entirely different article than the post title (Trump’s threat to impose tariffs could raise prices for consumers, colliding with promise for relief)

Could be a federation issue between lw and mbin?

Edit: Seems to be the case. Weird.

It was just more convenient to put it in my Plex server.

Honestly. I probably have a fully legal way of accessing 95% of what I watch. It’s a helluva lot easier to just not go through the hassle of figuring out which one of the 97 streaming services that specific show is on.

You say that as if the DNCs campaign strategy wasn’t to absolutely abandon the left and try to court “moderate republicans”, which we very obviously just learned don’t actually exist.

We can’t either

The most likely path at this point is the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, a collection of state legislative measures, state constitutional amendments, etc. aimed at using the electoral college against itself. The very short tldr is once >=270 electoral votes worth of states have passed something enacting it, all those states’ delegates will vote in line with the national popular vote regardless of how their individual state votes, forcing the popular vote winner to be president.

Whether or not it’ll survive judicial challenge if/when it gets to >=270 electoral votes worth of states is entirely unclear. In theory, there’s nothing they should be able to do about it, but SCOTUS has shown time and time again it doesn’t actually give a fuck about the constitution.

Hell, a large portion of us outside of grad and hexbear don’t exactly like Harris. Sure is a helluva lot better than a bald faced fascist though.

That’s simply not true, but by happenstance the particular communists in question are tankies.

“No you’re not allowed to call fascists and terrorists what they are, that’s divisive!”

Will it change the mind of the hardcore MAGA base? Absolutely not. Will it make a large number of people switch from Trump to Harris? Probably not. It could, however, make some of the more reluctant Trump voters simply say fuck it and stay home.

Oh I’m aware, I just don’t count them because helping new families isn’t actually the point of those.

It always pisses me off when people try claiming they want to do that last part.

Not a single thing is stopping them from setting up support networks that, while I disagree with their politics, could legitimately do good by giving new families resources. But that’s not actually what they want, it’s never been what they want. Because if it was, they’d have done it already.

It’s as simple as the cruelty is the point. Someone doesn’t live their life exactly how they think it should be lived, they believe that person should be punished.

To be completely fair, this is the sort of thing he’s done for forever now. A significant portion of his wealth comes from simply licensing the Trump name

Especially since Harris isn’t exactly the most beloved figure in the dem world, if there even is such a thing at the moment.

I’ll readily admit I was in the camp of thinking that Biden dropping now would be suicide. I am very happy to have been proven wrong so far.

While I agree with the sentiment, the coalescing around Harris is far more about her being the only real obvious choice and far less about it being “her turn”
