Technically correct, but media never uses it that way. People generally do not differentiate the two

The fact she is making this distinction, which she has never made before for anyone, tells me she’s priming her audience to be okay with rich and powerful men raping underage women

No, actually I never heard that. Where are you getting that from?

Hopefully that is the outcome, although I worry that it will simply lead to even more consolidation of power

The fact there is even a discussion around it is wild to me. Of course tariffs would raise consumer prices. That’s how they work

Am I missing a joke here?

There were several legal challenges, especially against the concentration camps. They were quite close to succeeding

Trump’s legal troubles are very similar, especially is regards to their shared attempts to overthrow the government (although Hitler lost and received a stern slap on the wrist)

I’m confused what you’re trying to say. The progressive left is quite popular. Bernie, Mamdani, and AOC being prominent examples, and they get quite a bit more than 0.8% of the popular vote

If they were just going to leave when taxes are imposed, they wouldn’t be fighting it so hard. They spend huge amounts of money fighting tax increases because they know they’ll stay either way

The thing the left is missing is an extremely passionate and motivated voter base that will push your platform no matter what

I see Trump supporters all over the place, passing off absolute bullshit. They’ll push conspiracies about Soros funding the No Kings protest, while simultaneously defending Scott Bessent, who was Soros’ protege and a partner at Soros Fund Management for more than 20 years

Despite the bullshit, they are effective at converting the more moderate conservatives. Democrats don’t have that. All they have is a shrug, and “yeah, I guess they’re not as bad as Trump”

I appreciate that the headline leads off with reassurances by reminding you that he’s 79

MAGA - Make Argentina Great Again

This bailout is honestly mind boggling to me. Argentina is directly competing with embattled American soy bean farmers (due to crop rotation, that’s most of them). Why is Argentina getting a bailout, but not farmers? US soybean exports were ~$25B last year

We need to be hammering this point, because it’s one even conservatives can agree is wrong

The first 4 were very different from how the second 4 are shaping up. This one is so much worse

If no one forgave, what incentive would they have to change their behavior? The goal should be to force them to reverse poor decisions, not convince them to double down

I’d imagine “troops refusing orders because of lack of pay” is one of the first problems they’ve worked out with any shutdown

If there’s one thing this country cares about, it’s keeping the military industrial complex running

I guess Fox and Newsmax should have dragged the suit out until 2025. Could have saved them a lot of money

Seems plausible the Trump administration applied a little pressure to Dominion over Rudy Giuliani. He is a civilian medal of honor recipient now after all. Trump has enough political power, he could do a lot of damage to a company like them.There was no way they’d get enough money out of Rudy Giuliani to balance that risk

It’s a joke

Because there would be pushback if he did it now. He has to slowly ramp it up. Each step towards fascism has to be small enough that it doesn’t trigger mass resistance

Nazi Germany didn’t start gassing Jews overnight. They started with deportations. Then they built detention facilities to hold them while waiting for deportation. Then they turned into labor camps. At every step along the way there were courts fighting against it, protests against the camps, opposition media derided it, but at no point was there a big enough change all at once to trigger mass protests, or to trigger the courts to feel a sense of urgency to stop it

By the time they moved to mass murder, the courts had been gutted. The protesters had been arrested. There wasn’t enough opposition left to stop it

For an example of the other hand, look at Nepal. Police opened fire on protesters, wounding and killing more than a dozen. Very graphic images of the killings were shared everywhere. It caused the people to rise up all at once. The government lasted less than a week after that

If there is one thing we’ve learned over the past 25 years, it’s that there is no such thing as the destruction of a terrorist organization

The more civilians you murder, the more new recruits that terror cell has in their family members

The IDF if fully aware of this. They know they can’t wipe out Hamas. They’re looking to wipe out all Gazans

Telling people they’re antisemitic for being against the genocide of Gazan civilians doesn’t convince them they’re antisemitic. It just makes them question how many other people have been falsely labeled antisemitic

The atrocities being committed against civilians are horrible. This is 100% a genocide, and the IDF is hoping they can finish the job before someone steps in and stops them

How very egalitarian of us

Gun violence has gone from a mainstay of working class life to schools, to now including CEOs and politicians. Truly equal
