“Congress” as in two House representatives…

Democratic Representative Josh Gottheimer and Republican Mike Lawler on Wednesday introduced a resolution to target “the rise of antisemitic, hate-filled rhetoric disseminated by prominent online personalities, including Hasan Piker and Candace Owens, and calling on social media platforms and public leaders to take stronger action against hate.”

The Republican is obviously gonna be a piece shit, and the Dem is a textbook neoliberal:

Gottheimer was a speechwriter for Bill Clinton and served as an adviser to the presidential campaigns of Wesley Clark, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton. He has also worked for Burson Cohn & Wolfe, the Federal Communications Commission, Ford Motor Company, and Microsoft.

Gottheimer’s net worth was between $16.9 and $75.3 million in 2023, and he and his wife Marla Tusk, who is general counsel at the political consulting firm Tusk strategies, reported $897,617 in joint income.[2]

It seems counter productive to point the finger at “congress” and not the two House reps who are trying to grab headlines.

Unless you want to make this Twitch streamer seem overly important…

If an 86 year old didn’t think progressives were going too far, it would just mean current progressives weren’t going far enough or we’d made zero progress over decades…

And because we’re extra fucked, sometimes both happens at once now.

But like, this is fucking normal, at that age you just hate any type of change and just want it to be like how you remember your childhood.

The issue is we’re letting geriatrics control policy, this guy should have retired 20 years ago before the normal effects of aging had set in.

Jeffries has zero say what happens in the next congress. Just like Schumer

They’ve been lame ducks all but two weeks of this session, and they’re not above saying dumb shit like this to try and get progressives to tune out of the primaries.

They’re doing triage for the neoliberal faction

If you don’t like them, vote in your Dem primary for the most progressive options.

“It can’t be a confluence of random events,” Buckley said. “It is clearly by design. It’s clearly been a long-term plan.”

He said in his Hot Dog costume while discussing who drove the Hot Dog car into a store…

Be ause DC doesn’t have representation…

They’re not “giving land” they’re stealing representation from the people who live there, so Republicans can maintain the seats

KASH PATEL: The results speak for the themselves. If the fake news mafia isn’t hitting you personally w/baseless information, then you’re not doing your job.

The only people who might be able to learn a lesson from this, is the Hasan piker fanboys who use that same logic.

Lots of other people fall for it, and are beyond help, but there’s a logical chance most of his current fans can realize he’s grifting but that there are authentic people on the left to support

It started with an incident that occurred on April 10 when the FBI chief panicked after he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He behaved frantically and began calling aides to announce that he had been fired by the White House.

Two people familiar with the matter described to The Atlantic that his behaviour was a “freak out.”

The reports also alleged that a SWAT team had to once ask for breaching gear after Patel was uncontactable behind a locked door.

That’s not alcoholism, he’s coked to the fucking gills…

It’s really common these days with heavy drinkers, because it lets you drink longer. Eventually you crash and nothing can wake you up unless someone shoves a bump up your nose.

Then you’re up and running for a couple more days doing crazy shit.

The staying awake for days is why meth heads are so crazy, but you can do the same on coke if you have a key to the evidence locker…

Shits gonna keep getting crazier too.

Back in the day, certain slaves were “house slaves” who were still treated like shit and beat. But were “allowed” to do work in the plantation house instead of the fields.

They were often more racist then the slave owners. The only way they could build themselves up was by tearing their brothers and sisters down.

The worst the slave owner consider them, the better the ones in the house seemed by default.

While Thomas should be aware of all that as a “legal scholar” who would have had to study shit like this for years…

The mentality isn’t relegated to just slavery.

Pick any random minority, and you can find a member who does similar.

So he probably wouldn’t mind if slavery came back, because in his head he’d still be one of the “valuable exceptions” and has done the mental gymnastics to think he’d even hold onto his position.

Understanding how they think is important to stop them.

I mean…

I took a Weschler and a college class on testing methods taught by the head of my university’s psych department…

How much do you know about quantying intelligence?

Did you read a blog post?

That’s saying we don’t force a single test on the entire planet’s population…

Which we wouldn’t do for anything.

It doesn’t make IQ tests worthless, and the only way someone could make that leap to think they are, is if they don’t know anything about testing

No, I’m sorry but none of that is uncontrollable

Why would it not?

DNC may have a good point that the last few elections saw big wins for them because their only strategy was to be AntiTrump.

You’re ten months behind…

That’s the DNC chair saying “not trump” isn’t enough and we need candidates like Mamdani in both policy and charisma…

Shits a lot better than billionaires tell you it is.

Campaigns can’t coordinate with PACs.

A candidate can not tell a PAC to spend money, or not to spend money.

Similarly, the DNC shouldn’t be coordinating with pacs, and hasn’t been for the last year except to empty the coffers of the VF they inherited back to the state parties the money came from.

But they definitely can’t tell a PAC not to spend money.

The DNC wants to end all PACs, there’s just not a way to do that. Because a PAC could spend on people just to get them “kicked out” of dem.primaries. that 100% would happen, Republicans would immediately jump on that, as would Israel and corporations.

Billionaires are manipulating people into demanding something that is impossible to deliver on, and the idiots falling for it are making it so the things that can be done, don’t have enough time before midterms.

People desperately need to wake the fuck up and realize the reason billionaire owned media suddenly went against the DNC, is because the DNC changed. If the billionaires had changed, they wouldn’t be billionaires anymore.

It’s not new, but the nazis are 100x more egregious

Yes…

That is a different way to say exactly what I had already said

The door’s been open…

It’s just trump is so bad at hiding it, everyone can notice.

The problem is most people still don’t understand it’s not new, just being obvious is new.

We keep talking about evangelical Armageddon…

But the one in Islam is looking even more likely every day.

For them, Muslims and Christians are supposed to unite against the Anti-christ, and then Jesus comes back to lead the armies of God, and converts everyone to Islam.

The way shits going, I could see the Pope and Muslim leaders unifying. But it’s still concerning the goal of most world leaders is to end the fucking world. At least after Islam’s Armageddon we’re supposed to get 40 years of peace a under Jesus as a world leader. It won’t happen, but at least there’s a happy ending there.

Hey, how many other presidential candidates have made it to a general election while never earning a single primary delegate in their entire career?!

She’s a once in a generation candidate!

Members of the Democratic National Committee voted down a symbolic resolution aimed at curbing the “growing influence” of “dark money” corporate groups in Democratic primaries that specifically called out the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

And instead voted to pass one that affects all PACs…

Which obviously includes AIPAC…

DNC Chair Ken Martin posted on X, stating, “We had various resolutions that focused on different industries and groups, and instead of going one-by-one, we passed a blanket repudiation.”

Like, I get why billionaire owned media is mad, they’re the ones funding all those other PACs…

But I have zero idea why any informed voter isn’t hyped something even better is happening instead.
