NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

β€œYou don’t accomplish anything by posting” is such a ridiculous & boring take. I have learned so much from so many people on social media just from them posting. I have shared that information with others. We have changed our behaviors based on information to impact communities & ourselves.

People want change. I don't think they care much beyond that. Put a new face in the race and that person will win. Almost doesn't matter what face. People want something different.

I really need to close some tabs, but I some real gems open. I'm afraid if I close them, I'll never remember them again. Like this one. Looks boring! Is extremely awesome!

Also if you haven't yet, give a listen to the radio interviews from Philly. He's not able to speak clearly and coherently anymore. It sucks. But it is what it is. We have to deal with the fact now rather than trying to brush it under the rug.

It's the exact kind of groupthink that got us into this mess. And claims that concerns are not legitimate are doing incredible harm to the practice of democracy. Rhetorical skill is a basic Presidential competency. You can't govern or win without it.

Whether Biden does the right thing and steps down or not, the Dems are on track to lose. Which means the Democratic Party's various coalitions will get to continue viciously ripping each other to shreds and casting blame while the country goes full fascist and the horrors descend upon us all.

As Newshub is ending, I reshare this interview from 2021. I ask how much has been honestly fulfilled of the RCOI recommendationss since? Have the risks been adequately addressed? Let's reflect on how many voices will not be heard with a whole network leaving NZ.

Do the Democratic elite believe that 45 is an existential threat? If they actually do, what would you expect to see right now? Are you seeing that?

Fair, it's an institutional failure at breathtaking scale. I think this article does a good job of articulating why I think we need to stop respecting the institutions. They are done. Cooked. It's over for them. Power is what matters now.

Biden is not electable. He should resign the Presidency today. Harris might not be electable either. But we must let her give it her best effort. Make Whitmer the VP candidate. At least try to win the election.

It's worth getting the one free article on that site, but these are the numbers. They are grim-as. He should have stepped out of the race before the debate.

I know. It's probably not winnable, based on these numbers. But it's worth trying. Make it a Harris/Whitmer ticket. Lean into abortion, end support the the war on Gaza, and forgive all the student loans with the new power to do whatever. Hell, give a cost of living cash bonus to every American
