  • The correct response would be a picture of trump, a picture of Vance pre-ozempic…

    And asking why he isn’t giving those peptides to his daddy if obesity is so serious.

    Not because insults are effective, but because it could piss trump off that JD is making fun of fat people. It puts JD on the backpedal, and would cause him a great amount of stress over if trump would be pissed.

    While also highlighting that Vance couldn’t lose the weight on his own but also was vain enough that his weight matters, attacking his masculine ego over how he wasn’t able to do it on his own and still cares what others think.

    Like…

    These people are fucking idiots, it’s not hard to figure out what to respond with to fuck with them the most. All you need is cause some cognitive dissonance so they don’t have a path where they can stick to all the talking points.

    If being fat is bad, what the fuck is trump doing? Or the majority of his voters even





  • “The establishment” is the DNC…

    The current DNC wont endorse anyone in a primary, which is good because a huge problem with the past DNC, has been weighing in on primaries.

    The chair endorsed El-Sayed almost immediately after the primary results, anything faster or slower, and yeah, that’s a problem.

    But this wasn’t.

    Pretending that a couple dinosaurs who will lose their own primaries is “the establishment” only turns people off from the party, making them less likely to vote in primaries, and making progressives less likely to win.








  • Soooo…

    Dude who couldn’t meet the deadline delivered a copy electronically in May that was last edited in January…

    The part he claims the DNC didn’t release, he says was present in a physical binder, while not addressing that it wasn’t in the word document that’s still around.

    Mr. Martin said that the binder in question could not be located and that the party would have had no reason to hold on to it. Mr. Rivera provided a Word document of the chapter in question with metadata that showed that it was last modified shortly before his Jan. 20 meeting with Mr. Martin.

    .Mr. Rivera said that he had sent an earlier draft of the chapter electronically to another party official. Party emails are deleted after 30 days for security purposes, so there is no record of that email. Mr. Martin said that a search of the party’s files could not locate such a document, and three other party officials who worked with Mr. Rivera on the autopsy said they had not previously seen the document in question.

    But the most important part:

    The dispute threatens to become a distraction for the party less than 100 days before the November midterm elections, when Democrats hope that President Trump’s poor approval ratings will help them win control of the House and possibly the Senate. And it comes as Mr. Martin has come under fire for his stewardship of a party that recently reported more than $2 million in debt, while the Republican National Committee had $128.5 million in the bank.

    The wealthy are fucking panicking that they don’t control the DNC. And especially after Platner they feel like they can bully progressives into stepping down.

    Fuck that shit

    Like, even in that quote, 2 million in gross debt means literally nothing when you have millions more than that on hand.

    The oligarchs are desperate and none more than the owners of the NYT times.



  • Sauerkraut/kimchee is a weird cheat code that doctors don’t really understand…

    Like, it’s basically “free” salt. Germans and Koreans both consume way too much salt and should have a bunch of heart issues due to it as populations…

    But they don’t.

    It’s nothing genetic, nothing lifestyle related, it’s just that most of their salt is on a bunch of cabbage and for some reason that makes it ok.

    Probably better off just eating cabbage or any leafy vegetable though, it’s weird how much people oppose salads yet claim they can’t lose weight.

    But sauerkraut/kimchee is way more palatable and apparently the salt doesn’t matter.

    But we ran two uncharismatic women with policy literally no one liked!!!1111eleven

    /s

    AOC’s age, sexuality, gender, literally any demographic, doesn’t matter.

    She’s charismatic and has popular policy.

    That’s literally all that matters in a candidate, because it’s a popularity contest for people and policy.

    That’s why Republicans, neoliberals, and billionaire owned media are scared shitless that she runs.

    Progressives won’t be stopped by the DNC in the next primary, and if a progressive makes it to the general they’ll easily win.

    We’re gonna see some last minute shenanigans like in Maine, oligarchs will risk kneecapping the dem candidate in the general if there’s a chance to replace a progressive with a moderate.




  • You dont cram double digit people on a speedboat to smuggle drugs.

    Because the weight of all those people could instead be more drugs, and that’s a bunch of people to keep their mouths closed and take a payment.

    They were just blowing up anything that was coming to America, because they don’t want anyone from south America coming up north for any reason.

    The “theyre drug smugglers” was likely never believed by anyone. It was about showing everyone that they’ll claim you’re a smuggler and kill you.


  • The DNC had about $16.3 million cash on hand versus about $18.5 million in debt through June 30, according to FEC records. The Republican National Committee, meanwhile, had more than $128.5 million cash on hand and no debt through June 30.

    Uh…

    If we’re not gonna force a neoliberal down America’s throats again, we don’t need the DNC to have a billion dollar war chest…

    Asked for comment, a DNC official noted that they’ve raised more money to date than the party did over a similar period during President Donald Trump’s first term in office and have more donors who’ve given more than $100,000.

    The difference is that the party has been willing to spend the money as fast — if not faster — than it is raising it.

    Last fall, the DNC increased the amount it sends state parties. Blue states began receiving an additional $5,000 a month, for a total of $17,500, and red states got a boost of $10,000 a month, for a total of $22,500.

    While some state party chairs voted against Martin in last year’s chair race, the investments have garnered him goodwill, particularly among DNC members in less competitive states where parties struggle to fundraise. State party chairs and their vice chairs make up roughly a quarter of the DNC’s membership and would be a key voting bloc in the event of a vote to try and oust Martin. (The chair also selects dozens of at-large DNC members and appoints members to key committees, further complicating a potential effort to oust him.)

    Martin has defended his approach, which he argues will help Democrats win now and build sustainable infrastructure for future elections. The party’s low cash on hand is a result of the party investing early in organizing, technology and state parties, he’s said.

    “That answer may be unsatisfying to people who believe the purpose of a political party is to accumulate the largest possible bank balance until the final days before an election,” Martin wrote in a recent Substack post. “But a party is not a savings account. Its purpose is to build power.”

    The current DNC not following the same roadmap we did in 2016, 2020, and 2024 is obviously a good thing.
