I want a Democratic president who will try to shake down CBS News over 2028 coverage the way Trump did over 2024 coverage. And since Weiss is trying to get rid of S&P, it might not even be a meritless lawsuit.
Bari Weiss' first weeks at CBS News marked by all-out warfare against professional ethics standards in the newsroom, part of an effort to convert it from journalism into rank political propaganda.

The Whigs disintegrated as a party before the Republicans formed. Hope this helps.
Of course it is.
It requires the same number of votes that the Dems and Republicans get. Not some magical secret number of votes. Lmao

So is Daniel Craig meant to be Pierce Brosnan after a demotion? Timothy Dalton was Roger Moore with more antioxidants in his diet?

James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

"You hold all the power". Good God.
It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Now to put an explanation of the map into its own thread, Special Order no. 191 is found around noon on September 13th, 1862, and within a few hours is in McClellan's hands. It's something of a truism that this "Lost Order" represented a tremendous opportunity for the Army of the Potomac.
So here is a marked-up section of the map of Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania from the Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, which is available on Wikipedia. This attempts to translate Special Order 191 into space and time.

There are people thinking and talking, in secret and some few under public anonymization, about the implications of these orders and this rhetoric. There's fault lines forming.

I would have to sit down and mark up a map seriously to talk about Special Order no. 191 and what I think its fairly specific relevance is to today, alas, but maybe it's worth that...
To briefly sum up:
- As a battle and as a campaign, Antietam was grossly mishandled by Army of the Potomac command.
- Tactically, it has been described as a draw or a narrow Union victory, but strategically and operationally, it was a major Union victory.

Grant of course had his own learning process with operational combat engineering around water, from Forts Donelson and Henry to Shiloh to Vicksburg to the relief of Chattanooga.
And then in the summer of 1864, when Grant demands a gigantic pontoon bridge for moving the entire army by the flank, the Army of the Potomac can do it and understands what it means.

This is why I'm thinking about the Battle of Antietam and its applications to current politics. Maybe Chickamauga too.
also we all need to chill on the all or nothing thinking
there is actually a very large span of possible outcomes for any political event between “does absolutely nothing to change anything” and “Amerimaidan and/or 40,000 year American reich”

Politically I think the way this shakes out is that Gen Z are more likely to believe Social Security won't be there for them and so don't want to sacrifice for what they think will be nothing, making these support numbers unstable.
hm. from CATO but you gotta wonder how this ends up looking politically

This is probably the biggest dissonance Bluesky users have about politics. We want our party, our faction(s) to always be strong and look strong and have that strength be acknowledged, but this can only be achieved through constantly humiliating and crushing every other party and faction.
It looks pathetic to us, but part of being a politician is being willing to look pathetic sometimes.

This is a good case for holding out for longer! It doesn't necessarily get more concessions legislatively, but it would probably mean inflicting more pain on Republicans and on the administration, through self-inflicted wounds.
it’s hindsight bias but between the SNAP ruling that came hours later, the commanders game with him being drowned in boos, and one week of holiday flights being nuked, it really is impossible to see how he would *not* implode in a public crash out on his own party
