Republican’s kids: completely off limits even when spoken of as vaguely as possible and it directly displays Republican’s racist policies Republicans at Democrats’ kids: “Chelsea Clinton is ugly”

What I mean to say is that the Democratic Party is an unserious clown show that still doesn’t understand that all its little factional micro-causes are going to be liquidated if they don’t win the center, rather than running fringe experiments in Nazi-curious populism just for funsies.

The problem I fear is not a handful of socialists winning a few elections. That’s Democracy. It’s that 92% of Dems, many in swing districts, must spend time/money saying “I’m not a socialist,” when they should be focused only on Trump’s corruption 3 months before the election.

This explains a lot. I didn’t know these so-called “genocide experts” paid to be genocide experts.

The politicization of expertise is a problem, especially with a "genocide scholars" organization that's open to anyone who pays to join it and issues resolutions that are voted on by that membership. We covered this last semester, kids.

No, a small number of young people who live on their phones and don't know what "genocide" means have decided that this is more important than stopping an authoritarian takeover of the United States.

But they can see Israel's genocide on their phones and ask why our government and its leaders support it.

"and don't know what "genocide" means" I admit that genocide is not my area of focus, so I defer to the experts. Some would say that listening to experts is a good thing. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"As scrutiny of Platner continued to heat up after my departure, the campaign offered me $15,000 to sign a nondisclosure agreement. I refused. Then his skull-and-crossbones tattoo, a symbol used by the Nazis, was revealed." Just wait until the general :( wapo.st/3QcukdZ

Opinion | I know firsthand why Graham Platner shouldn’t be a U.S. senator

I quit the campaign last fall, disturbed by what I'd learned about the Maine Democratic Senate primary candidate.

wapo.st

One of many reasons (including the insane national infatuation with Ross Perot, who was a total kook) that I date the start of our troubles not from the JFK-is-pretty-on-TV race in 1960, or Nixon's win in 68, or Reagan's realignment in 80 But from 1992. The year we headed down the Bad Road.

Ann Porter@annporterla.bsky.social · 2mo ago

There was that whole Clinton thing in '92. Character counts when your guy has it. It's not so important if your guy has poor character but you think he can win.

Uh, Mills is *still in the race* and reminded everyone of that yesterday

SkippySan@skippysan.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Then she should have stayed in the race . Maybe we should have campaign finance laws to reduce rich people's influence. Collins has to be made to suffer for her "concern " ( after which she votes to support evil). She has earned the hatred directed at her.

Again, without being pro or con either Mills or Platner: If the only criterion was "Collins must go and Maine must be a vote against Trump in the Senate," then the former governor was just as good a choice as a political neophyte with baggage. Electability would be all that matters.

FlaRainne@flarainnen.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Regarding Platner, not a stellar candidate, but Collins must go. Maine had time to vet candidates; too late to switch horses now. They need to vote her out & deal with any trouble later. Senatorial votes affect all of us. Her votes have cost us dearly. She has more strikes against her atm than he.

The entryists got one of their own to write a DNC autopsy, spent another six months whining for it be released and now we gotta spend another couple of months listening to them whine because it doesn't say the things they wanted it to say.

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist.

I’m not a laws of war expert but it’s my impression that just the threat to commit genocide is a war crime. Threatening to destroy a civilization is a war crime, whether or not you carry through. Not that the sort of people who support Trump care.

Trump said he went to war to end Iran’s nuclear ambitions—but Tehran showed that it has a non-nuclear way to deter future attacks, @nancyayoussef.bsky.social reports.

Trump Made a Deal That Gives Him Nothing He Wanted

U.S. declarations of victory ring hollow.

As for being armed on military bases, I have seen quite a few serving and retired infantry, Army and Marines, real Second Amendment types, gun lockers, say “What the hell is wrong with you?”

The President of the U.S. The man with the nuclear codes. And people are just going to pretend this is ok. In a functioning society, he would be removed from office within hours by his own party.

Stop complaining about this. If the other guys nominate a terrible candidate and you have enough votes to stop that candidate, then don’t complain if you don’t it.
