Quiet, piggy.

Trump forgot that remaining popular until you’re properly dug in is in the authoritarian playbook. Because he’s a dumbass.

India burns substantially less than double the US. Even if that wasn’t the case, trying to lay the blame on other countries is textbook crab mentality. That’s problematic even before you get to the callous narcissism of “Yeah, we burned coal when we were developing, but it’s wrong now so you cant. Good luck developing! We’re rooting for you to do it the right way!”

Technically true, but you don’t need to help the pro-climate catastrophe people (it’s wild that those people exist BTW) use “We shouldn’t bother to get better until they get better” to influence policy. Don’t be a crab. For what it’s worth, India burns less coal per capita than the US and China is blowing everyone else out of the water on advancing solar power and electric vehicles.

@grok, who would make a better right-wing extremist, Elon Musk or Benito Mussolini?

Yeah, but will it train AI on them?

Frankly, I’m much more concerned about the contrived prosecutions against people who don’t have Comey’s resources.

Sounds like they rejected it based on racial discrimination, but the Supreme Court may end that precedent soon. I guess it will still be beneficial if the ruling holds until the next election.

I guess he’s hoping everyone forgot that he could unilaterally release them without the input of Congress at all.

For MAGA, it’s not about Trump, it’s about the things he is supposed to do for them. Proving Trump is bad will accomplish nothing, that’s already been done. You have to either prove he is not going to do the thing they want, or show that he is so overwhelmingly grotesque it still isn’t worth it to support him. The former strategy is hampered by the right wing misinformation bubble, and the latter is not a realistic strategy for a population mostly indifferent to decency.

So this is what he meant by buttery males…

Is there actually a plan to get a ruling without precluding all their gerrymandering power grabs? Or are they just going by the seat of their pants?

I wonder if I’m even capable of being so dedicated to someone that I’d become such a gross fucking weirdo to defend them.

Of all the guns, this is one of the smokingest.

But hey, at least we preserved the filibuster.

Sidenote - can we stop calling it “caving”? Caving implies they gave in to pressure, but there was no pressure. They were in a better position than ever. Even “surrender” feels wrong. This was a betrayal, and a non-zero number of people are going to die due to losing their health care. These senators have blood on their hands.

Because if they get rid of the filibuster he might have to start doing his job.

We talking Ozempic or a really thick joint?

One thing I like about Mamdani is that he clearly has contempt for these people, but also the self-control to keep it in plausible deniability territory.
