I’m supposed to have a flight next week. It was already right on the bubble of whether I should fly or just drive. I’m not going to stand in some long ass line and get berated by unpaid TSA officers and then risk my life with unpaid air traffic controllers.
Maybe I’ll make a trip of it and even go see some friends 2 hours away from the destination.
Man, I really wish this country had trains.
Your opinion is noted, Russia.
Mamdani is the action verb as he’s the one outfoxing Cuomo.
Nothing against her, and by all means, I hope she does throw her hat in the ring, along with a whole slew of other candidates, but I hope she gets Mamdani’d. I hope AOC throws her hat in and we have a real debate about the direction of the party.
Moreover, what a time we are in where two potential candidates for president could be women? Broader forces excluded, that seems like quite a revolutionary time to be alive.
Nero fiddled as Rome burned. The Germans pillaged Europe’s art. Bankers profited off the Great Recession. Orange man builds a monument to himself while shutting down the government.
A reckoning is gonna come.
It’s not too much unlike Obama. There’s going to be a power vacuum. I’m not saying Obama was a cult leader, but he was a cult of personality. He was able to rally the 3 major factions of the dem party behind him and bring in independents as well.
When he left, no one was left to pick up the pieces, and worse, he fostered so much animosity that we got the backlash that we are still dealing with today.
The left needs to rally and find their champion, just like the tea party did.
FIGHT LIKE HELL!!!
Consider Spain, Argentina, France, Italy, Libya, Panama, Syria, Germany
The only thing that works once these fools get entrenched into the political machine is a good old fashioned ass whoopin.
FWIW this is why I think it’s so important to keep the farmers and union workers on our side. They are the means by which everything else is built upon. If they’re on the other side, well then the machine can keep on grinding.
Think of that one guy in the office who is just average. Does their job OK, but your life is better when you don’t have to interact too much with em.
Not really all that interesting to talk to. Maybe has some dull hobbies, probably not all that deep into them. Drives a midsize sedan or a minivan. Can do some household repairs so long as it involves a hammer or duct tape: Probably likes to mow the grass as a good pastime. Sits a lot, enjoys watching the TV. Hasn’t read a book in years.
Now realize that 50% of the population is him or worse.
Hell, 16% of people think nuclear war would be a good idea. So yea, morons.
This one goes out to you, Dan.
It’ll probably be turned into offices.
I agree with you that it’s a flex, but I think it’s to let Russia know that we mean business about them invading NATO airspace.
You don’t even have to believe in the cause, you just have to operate with little enough integrity to care. Half of em are just snake oil salesmen anyway.
So perhaps the better way to ask is, will a few $ million be enough for you to turn your back on your morals?
Is the right’s version of DEI just a constant barrage of IEDs?
If Cuomo had won and they backed Mamdani, would you still be saying this?
The dems are not a monolith nor a cult. People can and should be able to endorse whoever they want, that freedom of choice is essential in a democracy.
Just like it’s your freedom to note those who don’t endorse Mamdani and vote against them.
Keep fighting the good fight. A lot of folks nowadays have grown disenfranchised with the democratic model because they aren’t seeing their particular flavor of progress. We must continue to guide them away from the sugar high that is dictatorial power and channel their energy into the fruits and veggies that is the democratic process. It can bear fruit if we nurture it.
The cankles are the front line. It may take some time but I’m optimistic that gravity will win.
Thanks for this, I had been burying my head in the sand for the last decade and was wondering what was going on.
Please define slop. Please provide examples of LLM generated text that you do not consider as slop.
Good. Let the ones who can, survive. Not be swarmed by zombies.
