The GOPers are all saying ‘but I’m MAGA, they won’t deport me’. What they don’t know is that when humanity has dipped into this lawless sort of BS all sorts of people start getting ‘the treatment’. Say your neighbor wants your apartment, what’s stopping them from reporting you as a secret MS13 supporter?

I’m not sure there was ever the possibility of a really convincing UFO video. I’d be skeptical of something extremely realistic even if we were still in the days before convincing traditional effects. It’s just too high a bar - it’s much easier to believe that a video was staged, even to an unbelievable level, than it is to believe that it depicts actual beings from another planet. I think that’s why the UFO community hangs their hat so much on Disclosure these days. They must realize that only confirmation from a trusted authority could be real confirmation.

He’s not much better of a leader than Schumer, might even be worse in some ways - for one, he’s miserable at communicating to the public. We need a lot better from dem leadership.

Buying your competitors is a pretty monopolistic practice

What the FUCK did they think would happen after the most catastrophic election loss in a generation? The DNC and Democratic leadership should have enough of a sense of the gravity of the situation we’re in to resign in shame. Instead they have the audacity to complain?? Seriously, understand how big of a failure you’ve been a part of and actually DO SOMETHING to help solve it.

Ha just what I was going to say. Carville wants to help create a schism in the Democratic party? Fine, they already can’t get much less effective as a group anyway.

Sucks but our only real power is remembering this and reminding others that it’s happening.

Yeah and if they haven’t noticed - creeping fascism only gets worse the longer you let it linger. Time to bite the bullet and do something, it’s not going to go away on its own and we’re all going to be in more danger (including GOP senators) the longer it goes on.

Yeah I was sorta interested in pursuing Chess more at least as a hobby a few years ago. Learning about the ‘meta’ strategy was kind of intimidating and discouraging. The basic strategy is interesting to me but learning and memorizing different games just sounds awful to me. I guess it’s like most things - the more you learn about it the more you realize there is a lot more to it than what you initially thought it was.

Well I guess I don’t know the timing but I wouldn’t be surprised it Lemmy was it - there are a bunch of non-native English speakers here

OP’s browsing habits likely recently changed to a place on the web with more English as a second language users. Those kinds of misspellings are pretty common with people who learned a lot of their English from streaming Youtube and other online shows

Trump needs to be removed from office and we should be out in the streets calling for nothing less

Pure idiotic fuckery is what’s going on and the idea of a market rebound is hilarious to me because even without global tariffs there are plenty of other things he can do and IS doing to create instability in the USA. He’s gotta go, the sooner the better.

Absolutely and it’s just getting more and more urgent

So yeah if that’s the case then we need to seriously explore ways to remove him from office

Absolutley insane that a bill limiting Presidential power is subject to a veto

It’s sort of a crazy strategy in Blackjack too. Lose 7-8 times in a row and you’re already betting 100x your starting bet.

Definitely important for us to understand and also just insane that that’s probably the right conclusion too. They care more about their culture war issues than they do about their health care etc., that is at least until the moment someone comes for them. It’s such a depressing failure of imagination that such a wide swath of the voting public fails to realize how bad it could get for them until it actually does.

If they drop the ball on this extremely easy layup of a messaging task then we gotta really seriously figure out how to replace AT LEAST the Dem leadership

He stopped a full day of business in the Senate. I’ve never been a huge Booker fan but I gotta admit, not only is it a pretty impressive feat but this is exactly the kind of thing we need from them right now.
