The moment Collins announced she was a no on Blanche, you KNEW they had the votes.
Total. Und natürlich kommen wieder Leute mit "viel zu gefährlich !!11!"
It’s remarkable how persistent this myth is. German democracy survived hyperinflation; it did not survive mass unemployment in the 1939s. It would be better to say this the other way round: because German leaders are conservative, they remember hyperinflation. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
It's a bit memory-holed now that the quid pro quo for legalising booze in 1933 was that the American liquor and beer industries were forced to comply to much stricter US federal government regulation over how they produced, sold and distributed their products.
Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · last mo.Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage.

I'm just going to keep screaming this until I'm hoarse, but until Trump the norm -- for 50 years -- was that sitting presidents had their taxes audited by the IRS and released to the public to show they were clean. But Trump refused repeatedly, and sued when his return was leaked, and now ... this
Kyle Griffin@kylegriffin1.bsky.social · last mo.FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

Nicht zu vergessen die Weltuntergangsstimmung des Bürgertums.
Joerg Scheller@joergscheller.bsky.social · 2mo agoLangsam haben wir die perfekte Mischung beisammen: eine sittlich verrottete Rechte, eine identitär verblödete Linke, marktreligiöse Liberale, illiberale Religiöse und eine wachsende Gewaltbereitschaft, die sich durch die Polit- und Weltbildsekten hindurchzieht. Dazu eine müde, etatistische Mitte. 🎉🍾
As always, my comrade @stefansasse.bsky.social and I take a look at the most recent House of the Dragon on the Boiled Leather Audio Hour podcast. 15 years strong, baby!

Die CDU wünschte sich all die Jahre einen CDU-Kanzler, der ein "starker Mann" ist, mit autoritärem Führungsstil. Jemand, der aus der Wirtschaft kommt. Dann hat sie genau das bekommen und lernt gerade, warum alle anderen genau das nicht gewollt haben.

In Europa ist die Mordrate deutlich niedriger als in den USA. Trotzdem verbreiten rechte Kreise in den USA Schauermärchen, dass man in Europa an jeder Ecke umgebracht wird. Der Hintergrund dieser Lüge ist rassistisch: Europa soll als Zuwanderungsland mit ausländischer Gewalt dargestellt werden.
I'm sure if Obama had gotten us into a costly quagmire of a war and then spent all his time posting cartoons about how cool he was, it wouldn't have been a big deal at all.
Scrooge Jones@fitzador.bsky.social · 2mo agoSo the leader of the free world is posting AI slop memes on his self-owned social media platform instead of engaging in actual foreign policy.
On a related note, I heard that Bibi Netanyahu drowned kittens in his sink. Like, multiple times. Laughing the whole time. It was disgusting. That's what I heard anyway.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoNetanyahu on Fox News lies that Mamdani "celebrated the October 7 massacre" to zero pushback from Maria Bartiromo
What if, just spitballing here, the government gave a foreigner billions of dollars and made him the richest man on the planet
This should be a lightbulb moment for Democrats: You are free to run on this platform because Republicans are going to accuse you of it whether you do or not!
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoTrump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."
I'm always putting Washington, Lincoln and Roosevelt into a category of their own. They just don't compare given the circumstances.
Tom Nichols@radiofreetom.bsky.social · 2mo agoWashington. Close second is Lincoln
Good lord this is depressing.
Cambry Ardship@cambryardship.bsky.social · 2mo agoLike, in *2024* half of americans agreed with the statement "The father of the family must be master in his own house". Canadian agreement is half that. The most patriarchal parts of Canada are less patriarchal than the least patriarchal parts of the states. environicsinstitute.org/are-canada-a...
