Yeah this is the real problem - the Dems care WAY too much about seniority and ‘whose turn it is’. They care more about that than electability or messaging or, god forbid, formulating a platform that actually speaks to the average American that would inform all of the above.

On voting day I’m going to hold my nose and vote for anyone that isn’t a fascist criminal. But I promised my leftist friends that the rest of the time I’m going to do what I can to push the Democratic party to actually represent us, and that’s what I intend to do.

Easy mistake to make really

FTFY ‘We won’t be dragged into this’ — famously pro-Russia Hungary opposes $22 billion EU aid package for Ukraine

We all know they won’t be dragged in and can’t be dragged in because they’re already fully involved, just on the wrong side

Damn dude, I just ate and this is making me hungry

And with a shutdown the Dems would get to shout about ‘the GOP shutdown’ for however long it lasts which would also help to galvanize the public against MAGA.

Au contraire it’s surely time for his bonus

Absolutely agreed - and to make matters worse, their clearly stated goals ultimately amount to replacing all of us with their AI. This deal just keeps getting better, doesn’t it?

Yep - he must step down as minority leader. This is unacceptable.

Hm this is going to be a real speedbump on the way to Trump’s Nobel

I also think it’s really rich that at the same time they’re whining about copyright they’re trying to go private. I feel like the ‘Open’ part of OpenAI is the only thing that could possibly begin to offset their rampant theft and even then they’re not nearly open enough.

Violence was pretty common in those days. The problem with the German opposition is that they were waiting for a red line. But the nazis incrementally racheted up their actions so they didn’t recognize that red line until it was too late.

That’s because satire is well and truly dead

With limited time before their tenure ends, DOGE officials are desperate to show results.

Uh first I’m hearing of this

I guarantee you someone told them it was a power pose that they’ve practiced

The actual impressive thing is how they managed to convince working people to actively choose against their own interests

But I just want to sing

I think you raise a lot of important points and am a little annoyed at the downvotes when you’re clearly participating on the level in this conversation.

I do want to add though that tarrifs in this situation are a bit of a bandaid on a bad wound that the western world allowed to fester for more than a decade now. China’s been doing some questionable stuff to gain market dominance, yes, but the west should have been answering in kind all along instead of trying to play catchup with even more questionable economic tricks.

Not reallu sure what to suggest as an alternative though. Just really a shame it was allowed to come to this when anyone with a brain ten years ago could see how important EVs would be in the future.

Yeah I had really fucking hard scoff at that tidbit

Your cousin and 250 of his friends heroically sacrificed their goverment jobs so Trump could golf 13 times.
