Schumer promises to get right on it. After he writes a sternly worded letter about the mashed potatoes he ate last night. The letter will also have no effect on the mashed potatoes.

I can tell you, the Republicans do have a little fear of their own voters. They’ve got a little fear of their own voters. Because their own voters won’t necessarily back them no matter what. Democrats don’t have that fear. They clearly don’t mind losing. That’s a problem.

All day long people talked about January 6. OK. You don’t have to like it. But it worked. And if you were looking for things that worked. Instead of getting your own Joe Rogan. You ought to do your own January 6.

Donald Trump is just the price the Democratic establishment was willing to pay in order to deny the American people universal healthcare. This is literally true. I guess that’s why they’re not fighting him.

Seriously, anyone who complains in my mentions about the speed at which I work -- go fuck yourself. There's an old rule "good, cheap, or fast, pick one out of three". I am doing the best work I can, and most of it is free and you can get the bonus stuff for as little as a dollar.

In 2021, the January 6 Capitol attack exposed deep connections between the US state and far-right groups.
When something similar happened in Brazil in 2023, it prompted a national attempt to reform the government.
The US has failed to do the same.

Folks it’s only this bad because there’s absolutely no opposition fighting back. And if you ask the “opposition“ to fight back. They don’t do anything but whine and tell you you’re the problem for asking.

Does giving the Republicans free reign to destroy themselves through misbehavior which is the current Democratic plan. Does it include not saying anything when they arrest the Democratic leadership. Just wondering.

A lot of "geek stuff" appeals -- or appealed -- in large part because it spoke to a sense of being different from the culture around you. And making that into a packaged all-or-nothing identity based on which products you buy is the most offputting thing in the world to me.

Greenland? Well, the European Union could stand up to Trump. Not that they are worth a damn. Themselves. But they could. Don’t get the idea that people can’t just because the Democrats won’t.

I understand why people in the United States are not so into education. History repeats on you. It’s uncomfortable. It’s better not to know.

“How may I misdirect you?”
Voice pointed and caustic.
Sickly sweetness of promise.
Reading from a manual.
Where every response
Is beside the point.
“I came here for help,“ you say.
But it falls on deaf ears.
Unheard of.
A finger points, away.

And don’t look back with fond eyes to Obama. He bailed out the banks. While they foreclosed YOUR homes.
They gave you the Republican healthcare plan. So they could have a fight over it for years. It’s crap. They’ve been bleeding Support ever since.

The American left is the only segment, just about, of the American public who actually remember the past. We remember every single slight. So it doesn’t do any good for the Democrats to hide for a few years thinking that we will miss them. We remember. Do better.
