The theory that he can’t and doesn’t ever read (like, at all) could also apply here.

They just want to criminalize homelessness and throw them in jail. That’s it. That’s all this is.

None of this matters when 2/3rds of potential voters either support this or don’t care.

Have ATC employees actually decided to stop showing up this week?

Usually quantum physics serves as a crank magnet for all kinds of generally leftist kookery, but Jan seems to want to reject it outright for similar reasons that you talk about above with irrational numbers.

I know this isn’t your point, but the non-political way to express a similar rejection of quantum theory was literally just Einstein saying “god does not play dice”, which he famously retracted.

Years ago I saw a page on that site about irrational numbers that was pure comedy. Basically they begrudgingly admit that irrational numbers might actually exist (whatever that means for numbers), but heavily implied that it’s a liberal plot of some kind stemming from moral relativism or whatever. Just insane ramblings.

Lol Marco Rubio still thinks he’s going to ass-kiss his way into the big chair.

All that means is that they’re going to do everything they can to rig the midterms.

You guys don’t want change you want you return to the status quo.

You have to win to change things bruh. If you can’t focus on that even a little and focus only on what you want in a perfect world , then it doesn’t matter you want because you’ll never win.

All else being equal a white man less than 65 who believe 95percent the same things as AOC will get at least 5 percent more votes just like that, which is the difference between winning and losing.

They’ll start with MSNBC. People will complain but if they stay the course it will become the new normal. Other news networks will adjust their programming to avoid the same fate. Part of why the Kimmel thing failed was because it was indirect action - the threat was to not grant approval for the Nexstar merger, but the media and publishing backlash made them reinstate Kimmel.

If they start directly revoking licenses then the “kill chain” is basically 1 or 2 links long and the order coming right from Trump’s office.

Personally I think he could get away with it. Americans are still mostly too comfortable for the kind of action it would take to actually stop him.

He is banking on the extremely strong taboo in the US military against interfering in politics which has been established over generations. They will of course burn through that protection at a far faster rate than it was built, but they will likely still get away with this.

Don’t worry, Chuck Schumer will make a deal to prevent this while getting nothing in return.

Whether they know or not is irrelevant. They know their brain dead audience doesn’t know anything about Socrates other than “that old Greek guy” and so they can say whatever they want.

In this case there is action of a sort - the same gerrymandering that Texas is doing as a counterbalance. Whether that’s better than nothing is up for debate. I think probably but this whole saga just goes to show how completely unserious the American electorate is. So memes and trolling it is I guess.

The worse Trump fucks up, the less the Democrats see any reason for substantial change. If Trump’s fuckery finally shows up on the stock market then the Democrats will absolutely run to the center again, and Newsom will be the front runner.

Tuberville accurately represents his constituents.

Yes thank your for illustrating the logic that enlightened centrist have used to justify voting for a known rapist twice. Literally just stoner logic.

That’s my point. Even if it does the worst case scenario here seems to be about 2-3 weeks of noise in the press, followed by the cult getting their prescribed narrative and adopting it wholesale. How does this lead to Trump’s downfall?

If the Epstein stuff is what finally brings down Trump, it would be peak irony. Its a low bar, but at least some of these MAGA ding dongs draw a line at diddling children.

I have kind of tuned out of this iteration of the Epstein scandal. Why would it bring him down now? Is there really any new information? Everyone with a brain knew he was friends with Epstein and on the list. Americans voted him in twice anyways. Why does it suddenly matter now?

Israel’s PR machine has a stranglehold on the democratic party leadership. It’s a key part of their strategy depth - because if this American unconditional support for Israel is independent of which party is in power. They’re going to do everything possible to maintain it.
