I highly doubt that any of the people complaining about Newsom have any idea what Newsom’s policies even are.

Literally under an article about Newsom’s policies. You should hit your head against a horseshoe until you’re back in reality.

I know that’s not what you’re asking, but if you decide you want to watch more good anime without unreasonable amounts of jiggling tits, you should try Apothecary Diaries and Frieren: Beyond Journey’s end.

Unfortunately only a handful of US soldiers tends to die or be injured in these wars, so most of them will likely never see anything close to the evil they’re inflicting.

Party’s in my house at 7. Eat shit, Merz.

but that doesn’t automatically mean that going to a restaurant is a bad option.

Sure, but that’s an opinion, not a question. Clearly they consider it a bad (or at least less desirable) option.

where do their expectations come from?

If as you said this is a Russian thing and not a your parents thing, then presumably default social expectations. That’s what they’re used to, so that’s what they expect you to do, in the same way people in Western countries expect Christmas gifts. There’s no deeper answer unless you want the historical background or an explanation of why social expectations exist.

If you get it, then why are you asking?

Netanyahu Nobel prize when?

This is one of the parties that were formed into Likud BTW.

Why do you think I liked the men that got the Democratic nomination for president?

Or, you know, neoliberal ghouls are unpopular no matter their gender. Have you considered that possibility?

It’s funny how these guys are only like this when their enemies are in charge.

Probably because all the criminals are too busy posting about scary Muslim knife attacks on X.

I’ve talked to them in person? I’ve seen them countless times before this, and many of them have been organizing before Trump was president.

I was referring to the leadership of organizations like Indivisible that are actually planning the protests, since those are the ones who set strategy.

If that’s not a concrete positive outcome, I don’t know what is.

You know what, fair enough. I still believe the pace is catastrophically slow, but I guess No Kings is more useful than I thought.

There. Are. More. Important. Things. Than. The. Epstein. Files. Fucking hell, I swear some of y’all will have a gun to your head and say “nice distraction from the Epstein files.”

but giving millions of people booklets, cards, zines, and papers that direct them to their local ICE rapid response networks, get them canvassing for leftist politicians in their area, and giving them hope that lets them keep doing those things in the future

Do you have evidence that these is the organizers ’ intentions? I keep seeing this point made, but really if the point is radicalization and encouraging action they’re failing miserably. I mean hell, it’s been a year and only like two or three notable acts of resistance happened (no, No Kings protests don’t count); when are we supposed to actually see this bear fruit? This argument made sense in April, maybe even in July, but January 2026 with project 2025 half done? At this point something is not going according to plan, and frankly I’m far more inclined to believe that No Kings is acting as a do-nothing release valve than that it’s a successful method of radicalizing attendees.

Thanks Biden!

Thanks Biden!

My impression is that they’ve been purging people from past administrations, not their own appointees. If that’s off the mark I’ll have to rethink my position, but so far the purges can be explained by how they likely want high-ranking bureaucrats and military officers to be solidly in their camp.

I disagree on the MAGA part. MAGA is currently preparing for a coup, so they need ideologically compliant sycophants at the top levels of power. That’s not paranoia; it’s a pragmatic and effective strategy.

Somalia is committing fewer Holocausts than 1945 Germany, so yeah.
