  • It’s not a joke, there’s a very plausible chance he’s dead, or seriously injured and not getting proper medical care.

    If he’s dead, and the people around him are hiding it, then that is a very serious crime. If he’s seriously injured and not getting proper care, that’s elder abuse.

    So when there’s a plausible chance, law enforcement can do a welfare check. They show up at the residence, and investigate.

    Like, it’s a normal thing…

    The reason I found a specific case in Kentucky like that, is to show that even just not reporting was a serious felony. The amount of bond is likely because that dude most likely killed his wife and that’s why he didn’t report her death, also that it involved him sending messages pretending to be her. With McConnell releasing public messages to his constituents, if those aren’t him it’s even more serious.








  • Ok…

    So complain about Fortune magazine…

    Or at least click the link to see which part of the headline AOC actually said before blaming her for the entire headline.

    Like, it’s just such a weird line to care enough to read the headline and write a comment…

    But not take the two seconds to see what her actual quote says.

    “Millennials are not punk kids anymore. We’re grown adults with mortgages and kids,” she said. “And we—that generation is starting to be decisive at the polls. And there is anger at being ignored, sidelined, having our economic futures mortgaged by the generations that came before us on everything from the economy to climate. And we’re taking the reins.”

    What about that is “generational warfare” that upset you so much?

    Do you disagree with the reality of what she’s saying?

    Or do you acknowledge it’s true, and are just upset someone said it? Because saying it is what wins elections.





  • The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee endorsed Cooke, which angered some local Democrats who saw it as interfering in a primary.

    It 100% is interfering in a primary…

    And the reason neoliberals have to use the DCCC and DSCC to interfer in primaries now, is because they no longer control the DNC and can’t use that to rig down ballot primaries anymore.

    Neither organization has any power, they’re just making a lot of noise so people blame “the party” because the only chance a neoliberal has to be become president, is a corrupt DNC. And they don’t have that, so they need a DNC leadership changeover under any pretext.

    The DNC hasn’t endorsed anyone, this one isn’t going to endorse anyone in any primary, but I’m looking forward to them endorsing Hong the second she wins


  • I don’t know what your point is.

    But my take away is Stephen Semler doesn’t know how to label an X axis clearly.

    The obvious choice is every four years for presidential administrations, with a midpoint for Senate changes.

    With labels not just for year, but presidents name and Congress majorities.

    If people are going to use apss/sites to generate graphs at least put two fucking seconds of thought it

    Like that Y axis?!

    The only reason Im not positive Semler is a troll, is he didnt put a $, but the “B” alone is bad.

    Maybe whoever made that app/site just didn’t know what they were doing




  • Obama fucked a lot of shit up…

    But one thing he was willing to do, was tell Israel no.

    It pissed Biden off so much, he publicly denounced Obama over it, because even till the day he left office from his first day as a Senator, Joe Biden always said: “The only way to negotiate with Israel, is give them everything they want”

    That was his legitimate belief, so when Obama didn’t say “yes”, Biden shit talked him.

    Even after he became president, Biden insisted you have to always say “yes” no matter what Israel asks:

    Biden recounted in private that when he was vice president in 2014 and Israel mounted a military assault on Gaza, Obama and his staff rejected his belief, held for decades, that the best way to approach the Israelis is to hug them close but not criticize them, the people familiar with his comments said.

    Instead, they said Biden has noted, Obama publicly admonished Israel’s actions and voiced concern for Palestinian civilian deaths early into the 2014 conflict. As a result, Biden has argued, Obama squandered any ability to influence the Israeli government as it invaded Gaza, said the people familiar with his comments.

    The president’s private comparisons with his former boss subsided as outrage over rising civilian deaths in Gaza eclipsed the early praise for his approach, according to three of the people familiar with his comments. More than 14,000 Palestinians have been killed so far, according to the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Department.

    It’s a very low bar, so while I am might have been the “best” in modern history, doesn’t mean he was perfect or even better than El-Sayed or other new names.
