What a twist of fortunes that Bernie gives one of the strongest affirmative defenses of Biden while the centrists try to shiv him

YES. Shit or get off the pot. I’m not personally invested in Biden but I am invested in us like, trying to not hand the keys to the kingdom over while under threat of Project 2025.

I presume that means making more cheap “reality” shows, shelving more completed shows and movies for tax write-offs, and putting more people out of work.

Woke up to NPR and the first thing I heard was “…Donald Trump is d…” and I was so ready for the rest of that word to be “…ead.” I know it’s bad karma to wish death on anyone but I do wish the earth would just swallow him whole. Although I expect he’d be yarked back up like a bad chunk of hot dog.

4/4 I don’t care if the storytelling gets there slowly, but you gotta resolve something. I did find a lot I liked artistically in this season, but in the end, I feel like I ate one of those beautiful looking meals where you’re still kinda hungry when it’s over. Bring on s4.

…and I find myself wondering if that was intentional. Maybe we didn’t get payoffs because it’s hard for people to change themselves, especially for characters like Carmy and Sid, who are stuck in their own heads. And in real life, change usually comes incrementally rather than all at once…2/

“Hurricanes are woke,” said some Heritage Foundation dunce, probably. “They’re a false flag operation by the deep state and the climate change industry,” he likely continued.

I don’t know what the right answer is regarding Biden; it would’ve been better if he said he wasn’t going to run, opening the field to other serious candidates. But every day Democrats don’t try to force the spotlight back on traitorous, felonious, rapist Trump is a day wasted.

It’s hard to overstate what a victory for democracy it is that in France the far right lost to both the center and the left. working together to reject these fascists is key if America does the right thing we can, and will dismantle the worldwide fascist movement and destroy any chance they have had

Cue the Supreme Court: Presidents must have broad immunity (but not if they’re Democrats!), and special prosecutors might not be constitutional (unless they’re investigating Democratic presidents!).

Vance is too obviously ambitious to be Trump’s VP, all to ready to knife Trump in the back while smiling to his face. Rubio is perfect, because he’s a sniveling weasel that has already accepted being dominated by Trump.

The Orioles gave up 19 runs in a miserable outing against the lowly Oakland Athletics, but they’re still in first place, two games ahead of the Yankees, so there’s that.

Can’t make Trump’s unfitness for office the talking point: that’s “boring”. So, gotta go with what gets the attention now, and that’s arguing that Biden is unfit. Once again: there are legitimate questions about Biden, but the attack dogs are more interested in controversy than enlightenment.

Trump said “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.”
But Project 2025 is run by Trump's closest aides, raising concerns about cognitive fitness for a candidate who seems unable to recall those around him.

It takes a lot of chutzpah to believe you’re the right person to be President of the United States, and I’m certain that ego plays a role here, especially given what Biden has accomplished domestically. House Democrats who expected him to just shrug and say “okay” to calls he step aside are fools.

Let’s not forget that despite Biden’s shortcomings, Trump is a felon, a rapist, a liar, a would-be dictator, and a total piece of shit that a majority of Americans despise.

Undecided or put-off voters will likely not respond to calls about “saving democracy,” but anyone who lives in a red state rn is probably one degree of separation from someone who has already faced an obstacle to repro care. This is real and urgent.

And let’s not forget this is coming on the heels of the head of the Heritage Foundation saying, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” They want violence so very badly.

And yet she still voted to give Trump broad enough immunity that if he gets elected again he’ll act like a king and get away with it.
