  • The Democrats don’t seem to have a plan for 5 minutes from now, let alone for 3 or so years in the future.

    But it sounds like they’re in good company. Established politicians all over Europe seem lost by the current direction of global politics. Based on thus sticks there’s lots of vague ideals with no implementation - more than you’d even expect to see normally.

    And the Republican party is getting witlessly dragged along in the wake of those running the Trump administration. And it seems like even those ‘masterminds’ are just aggressively winging it based on the high-level objectives they outlined in Project 2025.

    Everyone is lost and stumbling around in the dark. Some might have a faded glow stick in their hand, but that’s not much help.



  • That’s a ridiculously low bar, but it’s also an important distinction.

    Do I want Gavin Newsom to be the Democrat nominee for 2028? Hell no! He’s revealed himself to be a shallow political opportunist and an ideological chameleon. And I think that party can do better.

    But regardless, would he be an improvement over Trump? Hell yes!

    Another question is: is he - a supposedly populist liberal from California - even electable on a national stage? I don’t think so. But then, we live in very ‘interesting’ times. So who knows.

    The third question is: will we have a fair enough election in 2028 (or an election at all)? That remains to be seen.





  • “a bad film made by bad people about bad people.”

    I don’t remember the last time I read something so brief and blunt but so accurate.

    “If you’re hoping Melania will have a ‘so bad it’s good’ energy, I’m afraid it does not. Melania is not Cats,” Smith concluded.

    It’s deemed so bad even that awful live action Cats movies is far superior? Holy shit!

    I look forward to the song on YouTube with lyrics comprised purely from bad review quotes. This is going to be the spiritual sequel to Rachel Ziegler’s Snow White disaster.




  • “It’s completely unfair to the agents who have been put in this position,” he added. “There’s only so much they can handle before bad things start to happen.”

    They knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. Most of them want those bad things to happen. They masturbate over the prospect of that brutality.

    This is just some asshole trying to hand-wave away the crimes these people are doing under the guise of “boo hoo, poor them!”

    They deserve zero sympathy. And all of them who have harassed, threatened, kidnapped, hurt, or murdered people should be brought to justice.
