It physically nauseates me remembering Laura Loomer exists, but you dont see me bragging about it

Bold move to order an entire team of way manlier dudes to tail your girlfriend that is half your age

Missouri isnt really a good example considering MO tends to pay the federal government more than it receives. At worst they occasionally break about even. But the majority of the time they pay their fair share, unlike many other states

Voters have selected a neoliberal candidate every election for decades. Republicans are even more neoliberal than the mainstream Democratic party is. “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps” is inherently a neoliberal tenet. “Free market” economics is a neoliberal tenet.

Neoliberal doesnt mean “new liberal” as in “new left wing politics”. It is a rehashing of the term liberal as in classical liberalism. Neoliberalism is a spectrum of political approaches that spans everything from virtually-no-government libertarianism all the way to ineffectual big government (IE mainstream leftwing politics). Its all various approaches to the question “how small can government be while still maintaining the status quo of the social contract, the market, and extractive economic policy?”.

Progressive politics, of most all forms, are closer to classical liberalism because classical liberalism also spawned socialism eventually, just as it spawned neoliberalism. It goes back to the idea that government should actually be something for people, not the bare minimum of whatever placates people while still being able to bleed them dry.

Quite honestly, given the American penchant for electing neoliberals, and the rich man’s affinity for funding them, a neoliberal woman is far more likely to get elected than a woman who isnt. Hence Kamala and Hillary both being nearly elected. The only reason they lost is because they were running against an even more neoliberal candidate whos party has the EC locked up. America elected its first black president because he was a neoliberal. If Obama had been a Mamdani style progressive candidate he would have gotten smacked down by John McCain. He probably wouldnt have gotten anywhere near the nomination

Idk I think its fair to say she knows she got elected in the first place for being such an outspoken toxic person. There is a real chance that the people that actually elected her will turn against her if she chooses a different path. Even if she turns a new leaf, the odds of her constituents doing the same, rather than continue blindly following the cult of hate, is not very high

She stood no chance of winning over enough women in red states to win the election, even though that was obviously part of the political calculus (or lack thereof) in pushing her as the candidate

“I dont care if the files get released” says man who happens to also be furiously shoving documents into paper shredder

Clinton stood no chance against Trump because of the large number of women voters that were never going to vote for her; not because of who she was in 2015 but because of her staying with Bill after he cheated on her.

Even the same ardent feminists that you would assume want to see a woman president more than anything still had little interest in her, in particular, being the first woman president. Too many women see her as a woman that stayed married to jackass just because of what it afforded her politically, financially, ect. Plus, they especially did not like the expectation placed on them to vote for her solely based on gender considering they viewed her as a traitor to women more broadly.

It says a lot about how hated she is by other women that a huge contingent of them voted for a serial sexual assailant rather than her

“Hes literally reading this, he actually wrote this out”

Im sorry, is this a conversation about the degree to which he is a pedophile?

Absolutely wild choice by McConnell, considering one of the only things Kentucky has a better reputation for than being backwater is growing hemp/weed

Trump wrote in his own book that Epstein was the only man that could call his office and only need to give his first name in order to get connected.

They werent just buddies, they were certainly doing business together that was outside the usual. Why else would Epstein be calling Trump that much to where his aides knew to pass him through just by him saying “its jeffery”?

I can virtually guarantee you that they largely just get complimentary upgraded to first as a safety precaution rather than paying booking rates for first class flights. I valeted a car for a sitting senator not long ago and the dude rented with SIXT, which is a budget grade rental place that the average person isnt even familiar with

Ogles cited rap lyrics Mamdani wrote in 2017 supporting the “Holy Land Five”, a reference to five men in the Holy Land Foundation, a Muslim charity, convicted in 2008 of providing material support to the Palestinian group Hamas. Some lawyers have criticised the case’s evidence and use of hearsay.

I heard Mamdani killed Darnell Simons

Neither team is allowed to defend against a forward pass, as the stadium lacks any form of air traffic control

It overlaps heavily with my list of members in this administration I’d like to watch defend themselves in Colosseum-style mortal combat.

Krusty Gnome versus hungry lions. Steven Miller trying to escape a maze filled with alligators. Donald Trump versus lifting a glass of water without stroking out

The minute that the controller shortage fucks the wrong wealthy person’s private jet trip suddenly everything will magically be fixed.

He picked a terrible time to frontload this issue by giving rich people extra tax writeoffs on private jets. Theyre gonna be pissed if their new private jets become useless
