That’s actually huge as pc gaming becomes more and more divided…
If you’re a generation or two behind or running low RAM, it doesn’t matter how well it runs on brand new $5k machines.
You can filter any game based on matching specs and see how it handles.
I’d love to see them separate ratings for “technical” and “enjoyment” tho, but we’re still pretty far from that level of granuality
All the good parts will shut down…
ICE and CBP got that 75 billion no strings from BBB already.
Still better than everything else federal shutdown, but specifics matter. This won’t slow ice at all
America did pretty alright for the 225 years we didn’t have a DHS…
They didn’t design the system for this low of numbers…
/S
Right…
And there’s even more wrong with that comment than what I pointed out…
But if explaining one thing is this difficult, why the fuck would I try explaining multiple things at once to you?
Hell, at this point I don’t think I’ll ever be able to help you understand anything.
You’re on your own bud, best of luck
One that you used incorrectly…
They haven’t “woken up” that’s the entire point I’m trying to make.
trump posting this video distracts from Epstein, but what’s more distracting is some Republicans who are in the greatest threat of losing their seats getting a chance to distance from trump. Which starts another cycle of people talking about it instead of Epstein.
The only reason he posted it was so people talked about it instead of Epstein.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they told Republicans to pretend to be offended just so it would become a story.
Stop falling for obvious distractions
By “ending careers for working with Obama”, you mean the people mostly left over from Bill Clinton’s time as president were threatening people within the Democratic party to not work with Obama?
They would blackball anyone who worked on a campaign for a progressive.
Like not even in secret backroom deals, they were very upfront about it, if you worked on a primary to challenge a neoliberal incumbent, none of the neoliberals would hire you, it worked for a long time.
Wait so, he was so mad at them that he…let them keep power? That doesn’t make sense. Can you shed any light on why he’d do that?
The most gracious interpretation is he thought the party would wither and die and something would organically replace it…
But I think he was just a petty dick.
What he should have done was hand the keys to someone who would at least try to fix it, do the stuff Martin is now. Instead it cost us a decade of progress.
Yeah, but like, its gonna come with some assumptions that we agree on stuff, and even a simplified version goes back 20 years. So this will be long, but as simple as I can make it.
2007 primary was mostly fair, there was a lot of finger on the scales and implied threats of ending careers for working with Obama. But the neoliberals didn’t take him serious enough to really fuck with it.
That lead to Obama winning the primary, and the neoliberals from Bill’s days who running the DNC to shit themselves. Because if Obama won, he’d name a DNC chair and that was the party.
So the DNC actively worked against Obama even in the general in 2007
Obama, rightfully pissed off made a stupid decision and allowed the neoliberals to hang onto the DNC. However he ran everything thru his own PACs and organizations. Which did a few things:
Bankrupt the DNC
Leave state dem parties to fend for themselves.
Leave the voting members of the DNC nowhere to turn, except double down on neoliberals and corpo. support.
So by the time 2015 runs around, the party is still broke, however the prior chair just gaslights everyone else at the DNC and keeps telling them it’s fine.
In order to fund the DNC enough for the primary, a deal is reached with the Clinton campaign, where they funded the DNC in exchange for final say on anything the DNC said or did, essentially Hillary Clinton cut a check to buy the DNC
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774/
But, instead of just cashing a check, Hillary also set up a system of “bundling” where you could (in one donation) write a check for the max to a candidate, max to the DNC, and max to all 50 state parties.
“To make it easy” just one single check, you could give to Hillary.
That money became the “Hillary Victory Fund”:
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/dnc-leak-clinton-team-deflected-state-cash-concerns-226191
That money was then supposed to be broken down and distributed, which would have been very easy since they were maxing stuff out.
But neoliberals gonna neoliberal, so:
The victory fund has transferred $3.8 million to the state parties, but almost all of that cash ($3.3 million, or 88 percent) was quickly transferred to the DNC, usually within a day or two, by the Clinton staffer who controls the committee, POLITICO’s analysis of the FEC records found.
By contrast, the victory fund has transferred $15.4 million to Clinton’s campaign and $5.7 million to the DNC, which will work closely with Clinton’s campaign if and when she becomes the party’s nominee.
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/clinton-fundraising-leaves-little-for-state-parties-222670
So anyone that would have given to state parties because they maxed at the DNC or candidate, gave to the victory fund which the DNC and candidate appropriated and used as a single bag of money.
This got passed to Biden, then to Kamala.
The only way your state party could get some crumbs, was appeasing that group of neoliberals. Go against them, and they’d give you start nothing. They didn’t care if Republicans won, because the goal of neoliberalism is to never have enough power to do what voters want.
Now that the goal is “as many seats as possible” and the money is going where it was always supposed to, we’re going to see massive swings like this election.
So like I said, it’s long. But thats honestly as short as it could be and I had to leave a lot out
Because the DNC is emptying out the “victory fund” that neoliberals were stealing from state parties and hoarding to use to convince us to settle for neoliberals in the presidential…
The only reason Republicans are competitive for House/Senate majorities is for decades neoliberals sandbagged the party, and if you didn’t play ball they bankrupted your entire state and let Republicans take it to punish you and set an example to get there states.
That’s how Jeffries and Schumer got elected as majority leaders, going against them would hurt your constituents and the politicians. Whether you were ethical or not there wasn’t really a choice.
That’s been over for a year now
We’re literally a year deep in the largest reinvesture of funds from DNC to state parties, which has let them all run at campaign pevels.
We keep “over performing” because for the first time in 30 years the goal is as many seats as possible instead of a very slim majority so nothing would get done.
Which is why billionaire owned media keeps pretending this is “over performing” and not just what would normally happen if the oligarchs weren’t holding us back by shoving neoliberals down our throats.
But this is gonna keep happening, because it’s a fundamental change to the party that caused it.
It is worth mentioning that a big reason we keep “over performing” is the current DNC took the giant dragon hoard “victory fund” and has been making it rain on state parties that money was stolen from.
Money doesn’t win elections alone, but it’s allowing all the state Dem.parties to already be operating at campaign levels for the next four years instead of just a few months every other year.
Not trying to distract from the candidates winning, just pointing out that the real reason is deeper than any single candidate and it a reasonable expectation for this trend to continue.
The media won’t talk about it, because they’re fucking pissed they lost one of the only two options.

I meant to post her new ad somewhere but never did.
It’s hilarious
The only reason they post this shit is as a distraction.
So the only question reporters should ask is:
Why would trump post such hateful racist shit as a federal employee except to distract from the Epstein files?
Calling him “federal employee” would really piss him off too
General strikes are effective…
But if they cancel/rig elections then it’s not gonna be enough. If that happens, we really only have one box left.
People have no idea how much goes into every American voting in the same 12 hour window…
Like ICE is big, but the amount of voting locations is insane. Even if ICE focuses on Blue cities, it’s hard to find a polling location in a major city that’s not less than a mile from another. They’re all over the damn place and there’s now way they can cover them all
People are stressed and not thinking logically, which is exactly what trump and the oligarchs work.
“How does a Republican lose by 14 points in a safe conservative Texas state Senate seat that President Trump carried by 17 points in 2024? Answer: When there’s a voter backlash against the Trump Administration, notably its mass deportation debacles,” the Journal wrote, describing the special election in Tarrant County.
It could also be the raping of children…
I accidentally went to a private Lee Brice concert once well over a decade ago.
I had no idea who he was, but it was at one of those Coyote Ugly type bars a friend served/danced at so it was free and I knew going in I was literally the only guy there.
Brice was wasted, didn’t use a mic and just sat at a table so all the women had to crowd around him to hear anything.
It legitimately felt like a college party where some douche pulled out a guitar, but everyone was actually into it. Literally the worst “concert” I’ve ever been too, but still, the audience was me and like 50 very attractive women. So a pretty fun night at the bar except when he was trying to sing. Which he barely did.
It’s every expansive empire, but even biological life follows the square cube law.
Once something gets so big, it can’t survive.
For life it has to do with transporting oxygen throughout the body.
For empires it’s being able to maintain and pacify the populace of conquered lands. If you expand too fast, you don’t have the populace on your side and have already moved troops forward. Then you end up with rebellion between your troops and your city. If your lucky it just causes a logistical nightmare when rebels stick to your own lands.
If you’re unlucky they march in towards your capital forcing you to pull troops back and if your unconquered enemy capitalizes, your troops are eventually caught in the middle.
But impatient rulers destroy empires.
It’s not as rare as people keep acting…
He was on a hit TV show 20 years ago, but it was his breakout so he probably got no residuals
He wasn’t broke, he was a landlord that made like 12k/month off rent. But if his net worth was in the millions it was probably just like two LA houses that most likely still had mortgages. If you’re going off websites it’s probably reported wrong.
Like it’s applicable to everyone because insurance shouldn’t be tied to employment now that wages aren’t capped due to WW2 anymore, but it’s not like he was the 1% either. You gotta be well over 10 million for that.
Which should make us realize how bad wealth inequality has gotten. To the actual oligarchs Dawson and the rest of us are the same.
