It’s scheduled to be completed months before the election, but the part he cares about is underground.

The thing is, even if there’s absolutely zero way to get inside, it doesn’t mean shit if no one outside the bunker listens to him.

It would be the perfect ending to this if he really goes down into a bunker with his closest circle who have the supplies to live decades…

And after waiting a while we just seal the doors.

It would 100% be worse than prison for everyone sealed in there. Just leave them to die together in a hole.

But the ironic part is there was already a bunker there, and it’s likely now compromised.

So if the new one doesn’t get finished, there won’t be any bunker under his direct control.

He wanted to build his own, so that no one else knew how to open it. Like, if he went to one of the still secret bunkers like under Biltmore, people that are outside know how to get him out.

The party’s leaders in congress are corporate neoliberal stooges.

While correct…

In case you haven’t noticed, nothing is being passed by Congress and it’s barely even in session these days.

They’re both 100% lame ducks, but that honestly doesn’t matter right now.

We’ll vote for new congressional leadership after midterms and the new reps are sat, and neither stands a chance of retaining their spots if they don’t have the DNC behind them willing to hand seats to Republicans if Dems don’t toe the line.

Schumer only got his current spot because they vote on leadership a week or two before the DNC votes on chair…

So when Schumer followed the neoliberal playbook of threatening to cut off funds to home states of anyone that didn’t vote for him, it was a valid threat.

A week later, it became toothless because there isn’t a neoliberal shill running the DNC anymore.

That’s why so many Dem politicians are willing to say Schumer (and Jeffries) need replaced even if they voted for them a year ago.

The DNC changed the math.

but the Dems tend to let me down so much…

I’ve been bitching about “the Dems” since elementary school when they defended Bill Clinton for lying under oath…

A year ago was really the first time we pried the party back from neoliberals in all those 30 years, because Obama just ignored it instead of appointing chairs that agreed with him.

I’ll never be blindly optimistic about anything but as fucked as America is today, this is the most hopeful I’ve ever been for the country on a 10 year timeline.

We just ain’t thru the worst yet.

One of the reasons is we’re a year deep into “fight everywhere”.

The DNC has been giving all the money stolen from state parties via the “victory fund” Hillary started a decade ago, back to the state parties.

Allowing them to operate at campaign staffing levels when normally that’s just a couple months every other year.

If you understand what the DNC has been doing since they gave neoliberals the boot, none of this is surprising.

We’re most likely going to see FDR still president right after trump.

This is what he felt the need to apologize for:

“A lot of Democrats have looked at the Netanyahu regime and felt like, you know what, we don’t like his trajectory; that it’s time to rethink the U.S. relationship with Israel, especially military support,” Vietor said.

Newsom responded:

“The issue of Bibi (Netanyahu) is interesting because he’s got his own domestic issues. He’s trying to stay out of jail. He’s got an election coming up. He’s potentially on the ropes. He’s got folks, the hard line, that want to annex the West Bank. Friedman and others are talking about it appropriately as sort of an apartheid state.”

Co-host Jon Favreau then pressed him directly:

“Do you think, looking down the road, that the United States should consider maybe rethinking our military support for Israel?”

Newsom answered:

“It breaks my heart, because the current leadership in Israel is walking us down that path where I don’t think you have a choice but that consideration.”

He’s not even allowed to say that some day things might hypothetically get bad enough where they may need to consider not funding Israels genocides with a blank check…

He shouldn’t hold any sort of political office.

Because when you rise to that level of power to be in the NYT editorial board…

The only non-millionaires you interact with are employees, and then it’s just a handful that talk to the rest.

You can’t compensate for this level of wealth inequality. The powerful will always side with themselves, because that’s their social circle and how the human brain is wired.

It’s the entire problem with neoliberalism.

Daniel Vávra, Warhorse Studios’ co-founder, appears to be fully on board with the controversial technology and recently took to X to support Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI-slop filter tech. “This is just a little uncanny beginning,” Vávra stated in his post. “No way haters will stop this.”

On the plus side we got two amazing games out of Warhouse…

But I doubt I’ll ever buy another game from them now. Not even as a boycott thing, if they’re embracing the slop this hard at all levels, I’m just not gonna want anything they make

“I have not been able to spend enough time on this to understand it. But, trust me, I’m obsessed with this,” Vance said. “I’ve already had a couple of times where I’ve said, ‘All right, we’re going to Area 51, we’re going out to New Mexico, we’re going to sort of get to the bottom of this.’ And then the timing of the trip didn’t work out. But, trust me, anybody who’s curious about this — I’m more curious than anybody. And I’ve got three years at the very tippy top of the classification. I’m going to get to the bottom of it.”

Translation:

“Could this be a distraction from the child rape, coverup, civil rights abuses, and illegal wars?”

I don’t know why people want to keep saying “Democrats” and acting like a bunch of independent groups are a single entity…

The Democrats have set a new record for single-month lobbyist fundraising. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee reported

I don’t see the point in referring to something whose leader isn’t democratically elected as “the Democrats”

For the 2020 and 2022 election cycles, DCCC chairs were elected by the caucus, rather than selected by the party leader.[5][6] After the 2022 election cycle, the Democratic caucus voted to return to having the position be appointed by the leader.[7]

If you have a problem with that organization, blame their neoliberal leader, not the party

“unanimously”

The vote was held at 02:20…

Considering the age of the average senator, I really want to see the actual votes and how many were even there.

This is like the one good use for AI…

Just trick all these geriatric fucks a war is actually happening, they’re the only ones that never question AI anyways.

Because the reason the TSA isn’t getting paid isn’t because there’s no money…

It’s because the money has to appropriated to the TSA first.

Like, that’s just the basics of how our government works…

He should pay his taxes, the vast majority of his wealth should go to taxes, but that wouldn’t change a single thing about this.

He can’t pay them wages…

But if he wanted to, he could just give them money.

Set up a website with embedded id.me and any TSA agent can get verified and get $X sent to whatever payment method they enter.

For the guy who claims to have personally built PayPal, should be able to knock it out in an afternoon.

Never forget with billionaires:

They all claim to be economic geniuses about making money, but when it’s time to hand out money, suddenly their hands are tied by the letter or spirit of the law and there’s nothing they can do.

Because it’s a lie both times.

but obviously going nowhere.

If the only battles we fight are ones we’re guaranteed to win, we’ll never win the war.

Bring this shit up, even if it’ll never get to a vote.

It shows America that some will fight, but that they need the numbers.

Being correct too early

That only makes sense if by “too early” you mean “before the majority”.

And if no one pushed for progress until the majority of Congress wants it, we’d never get it.

80+ years ago Congress told FDR he had to wait “one more term” before they’d support universal healthcare which the majority of voters wanted and elected FDR to enact.

Stop fucking catering to the majority of congress, and start catering to voters.

That’s how we win elections and make progress.

Changing politicians to match voters. Changing voters to match politicians doesn’t work

Quick edit:

Sometimes changing voters to match a politician “works” as in winning election…

But we just saw how that works out. The politician doesn’t do enough, that party’s voters disengage, and the opposing party captures the entire federal government.

It’s a bandaid that can work every once and a while, but even when it does there’s no pay off. So turnout plummets in the next couple elections.

This shit ain’t complicated, it’s basic sociology

Heinrich, in a statement released Sunday: “This is going to surprise some people, but I consider Markwayne Mullin a friend. We have a very honest and constructive working relationship. We have authored legislation together, such as the Tribal Buffalo Management Act, and we crafted the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill together this year. We often disagree and when we do, we work to find whatever common ground we share.”

Same shit Biden used to fall for.

They’re only your friend when they’re weak enough to need your help.

How is the US president, who resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in Washington DC voting in Florida elections?

Is he really the first US president using anything else as his legal address, or did he really just commit voting fraud?

The dead asshole basically created a “competitive” version.

So while the people in this might start out doing a school team, they’ll using go “competitive” as soon as able and work really hard at it and often quit normal cheer.

It’s essentially the same as the “dance moms” shit. It becomes the central aspect of these kids lives. I don’t know what age ranges they have, but it’s like jr high or even younger.

But the existence of “competitive” makes traditional cheer try to emulate it. There’s been like a 500% increase in serious injury because everyone is trying to do crazy shit

what it means for it to be modern a cheerleading.

The two big things you’d see on court/field is:

1. “Stunts” where people are thrown which is very dangerous.

2. The outfit change to sports bras and booty shorts.

Both direct results of “competitive” cheer ran by this guy filtering down to actual cheerleading done along with a sport.

Culturally off the field…

A bunch of impressionable and attractive cheerleaders went from having school employees responsible for them, to any random person with the money to cut a check to Varsity (this guy’s company).

Even if not to groom them for abuse, a lot of people want to be seen as “cool” and create an environment for drinking and drug use, blurring the lines between adult and child in the process.

It’s incredibly problematic but since it’s also so cult like, very few people have spoken out about it. By the time you see the bad parts, you’re already “hazed in” and don’t understand how fuckendup shit is.

There’s a lot of bitter sentiment toward Talarico among Black voters in Texas who don’t think their interests can be represented by anyone but Crockett. Lots of “he hasn’t done anything to deserve my vote” kind of talk, if that sounds familiar.

And that is legitimately the result of Republican propaganda…

They haven’t been shy about it, it’s open information now.

https://www.notus.org/senate/jasmine-crockett-nrsc-texas-senate

That’s why I’m saying what a good Dem politician would do (even for purely selfish reasons) would be to campaign for Talarico.

But I don’t think she will, I think best case she never mentions the Senate race again. But I could see her doing some truly stupid shit too. I legitimately don’t understand why people like her.

For most people just knowing how she got her current seat would be enough for them to want her primaried…

On November 20, 2021, incumbent representative Eddie Bernice Johnson of Texas’s 30th congressional district announced she would not seek reelection in 2022.[21] Four days later, Crockett declared her candidacy for the seat. Johnson simultaneously announced that she was backing Crockett.[22][23] Crockett also received extensive financial support from Super PACs aligned with the cryptocurrency industry, with Sam Bankman-Fried’s Protect Our Future PAC giving $1 million in support of her campaign.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmine_Crockett

If she ever be ame a Senator, shed likely pull a Sinema. The only excuse is she’s easily manipulated and just keeps getting played. Which itself is a reason to stop fucking electing her.
