I love Canadians but please don’t return! Both for your safety and to send an economic message to all the shortsighted fools. It’s the only way some might wake up.

Uhh, more Americans blamed Republicans and Trump’s approval tanked.

This guy is full of fucking shit. There was no reason relent and it would’ve set Dems up for success next year.

Primary them all.

Exactly! I’ll repeat what I wrote elsewhere that this is actually a good strategic move as much as I want Jeffries and Schumer gone.

Follow me:

• The GOP are forking Democrats to choose a loss of SNAP benefits, or a loss of healthcare tax subsidies that will see premiums skyrocket to unaffordable levels for millions.

• Democrats DO have the negotiating leverage right now considering Trump’s approval is plummeting and more Americans blame Republicans than Democrats.

• However, this move has a slightly veiled one: It punts the issue to become a talking-point on healthcare right around midterms next year, which will be hugely beneficial to Democratic talking points.

• As a result, Democrats seize a win for the American people in both restoring SNAP benefits and ACA tax subsidies for a year more, while at the same time loading up political leverage for midterms next year.

• NOT TO MENTION: It solidifies the side who is trying to viably come to the table and to HELP the American people. Makes them look like the adults in the room.

Dare I say, great move.

A lot of people here are interpreting this incorrectly. Guys, this is actually a good strategic move as much as I want Jeffries and Schumer gone.

Good! Republicans are putting the lives of Americans in danger with their bullshit.

Wish we could freeze their assets and stocks, and start selling them off to pay off debt the actual workers.

When Morgan Housley, 29, moved to Washington for her job in April, she had some non-negotiables for the conservative man she was looking to date: He had to “love the Lord,” genuinely enjoy going to church, and be able to “provide and protect, emotionally, physically, spiritually, all of those things.” A fit, athletic man she could go on runs with.

So far, Mr. Right has not materialized. Instead, many of the single MAGA men she’s seen are … “Not fit, workaholics and not taking finding a wife seriously,” Housley says.

LOL so the only one who responded was Stephen Miller.

Also, wonder if she meant alcoholics.

What I don’t understand is that New Mexico is such an outlier for shitty statistics as compared to other states, even blue ones. Like I feel nearly every ranking has New Mexico strangely near the bottom alongside the likes of Alabama and Mississippi. I’ve long wondered why that is.

It’s one of those rare occasions I wish I could break Lemmy and upvote this comment more than once. Thank you.

Locker-room talk 2.0 huh…

Sadly, I think it’s a win-win for the fascists.

Walls are closing in on informed punditry and quality journalist outlets. Right is winning the disinfo war and carrying out what Putin did in Russia, or Orban in Hungary.

My in-between is to say, “Well, statistically, they’re far more to be a right-wing extremist. We should explore why this ideological exploits the mentally unwell at a far greater rate!”

That’s a big part of my theory as well. Until the social or economic consequences of the tribe rise above the concern for energy demand, neurons aren’t going rearrange or build, because that takes too much energy.

He always treats people who have shit over him very nicely. Putin, Bibi, Maxwell, etc.

Russia and the GOP successfully undermined all trust in expert consensus.

In the absence thereof, we are literally adrift in a raging storm of misinformation.

Steve Bannon did it too not long after, if I recall.

Only thing is I can believe it. They’re pushing the boundaries of their capacity to gaslight. Testing waters and arrogant in their confidence.

To me it really reeks of a pathological illness, honestly. Like a compulsive obsession.

These Brownshirts can fuck off, but that’s a paintball marker; captioning that as a “long gun” is just going to be low-hanging fruit for imbeciles.

The template of destabilizing democracy made in Russia was applied to Hungary and now is in the process in the US.

Musk was literally prancing around in cabinet meetings and giving people a million dollars to register (and vote).

Murdoch, Kochs, Thiel have arguably been at the top of everything.

I know Trump knows this. Psychopaths don’t care, of course. Just setting the record straight.
