Being a 35 year old new mother and having a nephew’s son the same age as you to worry about are just one of the joys of your father selling you off to his best friend who met you as an infant.
That shit has to be the most confusing holiday gatherings ever.
Honestly?
I think it’ll be the opposite, an immediate look of relief. He might even look normal.
It won’t be unique to Kash, aside from Stephen Miller I don’t think any of them are actually enjoying this.
What hypothetical candidate would win all of a large state like Cali by a huge margin but lose to a Republican in enough smaller states that they lose the general?
Like, you know the EC is relatively proportional like the House, it’s not set up like the Senate…
The funniest shit is going to be if trump loses Republicans and just starts doing a bunch of progressive stuff in a desperate bid to get anyone to like him.
All he’s ever wanted to be is popular in NYC. That’s why he’s so infatuated with Mamdani.
There’s a very real chance he starts acting like him just so people like him.
Huh?
I thought you wanted representation…
But you don’t want actual 1:1 representation?
I’ll never guess it, you’re going to have to share what “moderate” level of representation you believe is ideal. And obviously people are going to question why you believe more representation than that would be a negative
There was a rule vote in 2024, the same time Martin got elected, that changed some stuff. So I’m assuming Martin didn’t want to immediately override them when it won’t matter for years.
But ideally I’d want to see the removal of all delegates, supes and normies.
Straight popular vote in the primary, 1:1 representation, and the candidate is just the person the most Dems want to vote for.
Good news!
The voting members of the DNC agreed with you 8 months ago when they elected a chair with a decade long track record of fair primaries and then putting the full weight of the party behind every candidate in the general.
We’re also very unlikely to see a push to consolidate behind a “winner” after only a handful of states vote.
I don’t think the current DNC chair has ever weighed in on any primary. Even for Mamdani he waited till the day after the primary. And Martin loves Mamdani almost as much as trump does.
So we can expect neutrality till the very last state reports their primary result.
It would only be like the fifth time hes changed his name
I mean, Ken was for it when he ran Minnesota…
I don’t know why he wouldn’t be for it now.
It so much worse than this…
5 eyes (a lot more than five by now…) is basically different countries spying on each other’s citizens for each other.
https://protonvpn.com/blog/5-eyes-global-surveillance/
So if X wants to spy on one of its own citizens, it asks country Y to do it, and then share the intelligence. No warrant needed just like when a private company gives your data over without a warrant. And unlike the loophole here, they can do it to an American talking to Americans. There doesn’t need to be a foreign national involved.
So glad you burnt just a teeny but of our planet down for a shitty picture.
Totally fucking worth it bro, who needs real leopards when we can “make” pictures of them with AI?
Did Mamdani hypnotize him?
He’s a 79 year old demented narcissist, and Mamdani is a smart son of immigrants from Brooklyn…
I said it the other day that Mamdani was gonna finesse trump into a reverse mortgage and buying two of the same mixtape.
It doesn’t fucking take much, you just need to manage more charisma than Chuck Schumer. trump isn’t hard to manipulate, it’s just neoliberals never want to actually win. They want the public attention for throwing shit with trump, Mamdani wants to get shit done.
The press secretary said the meeting speaks to the fact that Trump is willing to meet with anyone to do what’s right on behalf of the American people, but she didn’t let it go without attempting a dig at the mayor-elect and Democratic Party.
“I will just add, it speaks volumes that tomorrow we have a communist coming to the White House because that’s who the Democrat Party elected mayor of the largest city in the country,” she said
It really does…
Just not in the way she thinks it does.
Lying has always been an integral part of USAJOBS…
Idiots are overconfident and rate themselves 5/5 for everything, subject matter experts of everything under the sun who know everything…
Rational people know they have limitations and that not everyone knows everything.
But due to how the process works, if you don’t over-exagaratte your abilities, you’ll never get to an interview. Because your numbers aren’t as good as over confident idiots.
I can guarantee no actual fed is facing a crisis of ethics on if they can bs on an application
“The investigation revealed that Greene had not, in fact, been attacked by three men at gunpoint,” the release states. "Instead, Greene had paid a body modification/scarification artist to deliberately cut the lacerations on her face, neck, upper chest, and shoulder, based on a pattern that she had provided beforehand.
The predictive intelligence program has resulted in people being stopped, searched and in some cases arrested. A network of cameras scans and records vehicle license plate information, and an algorithm flags vehicles deemed suspicious based on where they came from, where they were going and which route they took. Federal agents in turn may then flag local law enforcement.
Suddenly, drivers find themselves pulled over — often for reasons cited such as speeding, failure to signal, the wrong window tint or even a dangling air freshener blocking the view. They are then aggressively questioned and searched, with no inkling that the roads they drove put them on law enforcement’s radar.
In other news, anybody see Ron Swanson’s new movie Sovreign?

Even if they’re pulled over for legit reasons, the “free travellers” are all going to start assuming any interaction is because they’ve been being surveilled.
But the reason shit is so fucked, is the neoliberal wing took over the Dem party and their only problem with a strong fed is they didn’t control it.
Instead of fighting against the centralization of power, they went along with it because 50% of the time they got the keys.
And the oligarchs that funded both sides were cool with it for the same reason the US was cool with installing puppet dictators in the ME.
You want centralized power in a puppet state because the more you concentrate the bribe the more the person will do for it.
It’s not impossible to buy off ~550 politicians to own the federal government, but it’s easier to just buy off the president.
Just like it’s easier to buy off a single federal government, than 52 state/territories.
Which is kind of the whole reason we as citizens should want the power distributed as much as possible, which includes unfreezing the number of House seats and putting more power in state governments.
Nah.
Their rationale starts with the belief that all of Trump’s orders are lawful, because he’s the president and a president can do anything.
So their issue would be that saying that isn’t true, is unlawful.
Which is obviously hypocritical because they acted like Biden and Obama were Stalin and Mao level authoritarians and multiple sherrifs and other red state officials flat out refused to follow orders from the Fed.
By their logic now, all those people shouldve been hung.
But when Trump’s out of office they’ll change their tune again
But I think it may be confusing some of our young people about antisemitism, because they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews,” she added, “…so when on TikTok all day long they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, it’s not surprising that they think, ‘Oh, I know, the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel, you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.’”
I bet he looked shocked to find out…
