I mean, I have hobbies, but I mostly just post rambling diatribes about politics to get them out of my head. If that's your thing, I'm sorry.
One thing that is interesting about the shutdown is that it shows you where the pressure points are on the Democratic establishment. The Republicans held the American people hostage for over a month and they held strong, but threatened with procedural changes that would have made it easier for...

Billionaires in conspiracy theories: "We need some extra 'hot dogs' for our 'pizza party' tonight."
Billionaires in real life: "Hey, send over some young boys tonight, we are having a child sex orgy!"

The idea that this was just eight Democrats breaking ranks, and not the official party position, is made somewhat implausible when one of the eight 'breakaways' was the party whip. Literally, the person whose job it is to ensure that Democratic senators vote in line with the priorities of the party.

Nothing serves Republicans so well as being out of power. Everybody still hates the Democrats, but Republicans only have to be in power for six months for people to start realizing how bad they are at everything.
You might think this is unique to Trump, but look at approval for George W Bush on...

Well, Mamdani gets 49.6%, Cuomo+Sliwa gets 49.5%. So even if Sliwa had dropped out, and Cuomo got 100% of his voters, Mamdani still wins. And honestly, most of Sliwa's supporters detest Cuomo, so that's a pretty generous assumption.

There has never been a better time for rural Americans to build themselves a pen, round up some feral hogs, and stuff them so full of cheap soy beans that they have no desire to leave.

So Curtis Sliwa wants to organize New York's feral cat population to control the rat problem. Sounds great, but let's look ahead.
Obviously the next stage is to organize the stray dogs to control the feral cats, and then the sewer alligators to control the stray dogs... But then what next?

People are complaining about bailing out Argentina when they have universal healthcare and the US doesn't, but the whole point of the bailout is to prop up a guy who wants to take their healthcare away, so that complaint feels misplaced.

I keep reading posts by people who are surprised by MTGs recent positions. Some even seem to think there is some kind of face turn going on.
There is not. MTG has good political instincts, and that is all. She is a rat fleeing a sinking ship, smart enough to get out ahead of the rush.

Man, an evangelist gave me a Chick Tract at the bus stop today. Been a long time since I saw one of those! I wonder if they are republishing ones from before he died, or if someone else has taken over from him?

They say that an adequate leader studies tactics, that a skilled leader studies strategy, and that a masterful leader studies logistics. No word on where a leader who studies PE fits in, but I'm sure it's near the top.

Man, I'm on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who the US is going to war with. Venezuela looks pretty hot right now, but I can tell Trump is still horny for Iran. But he also wants back into Afghanistan, apparently. And then we can't forget Panama. And Canada. Oh, and Norway, of course...

I think the difference between the two parties is that while both Democrats are Republicans would throw you into a meat grinder for a dollar, only the Republicans would throw you into a meat grinder to take a dollar away from everyone else.

I find it entertaining how backwards endorsements work in reality. Like, do we expect that anyone will show up at the polls to vote for mayor of New York and their decision on whether to vote for Zoran will be predicated on whether person X endorsed him?
Doesn't feel likely to me. What seems...

I guess my feelings on the matter amount to this: You cannot condemn political violence without condemning Charlie Kirk. To do the first is to do the latter.

James O'Keefe made attempt after attempt to trick and secretly record Democrats, failing at every turn. Getting caught almost immediately time after time. Then, for the first time, he goes after a Republican and instantly succeeds beyond anything he's ever done.

Okay, movie idea. It's called "41 - The part The Bible left out." It's a gritty survival horror set in the woods, after a group of children mock an old man's bald head, and God sends a bear to kill them. The lead is a young girl from some barbarian culture, who evades and eventually defeats the...

If Trump is serious about wanting to sell more American food to other countries, a good first step might be to ask his DHS head to stop telling everyone it is toxic.

If people are really worried about the possibility of population collapse, I feel like before trying to force people to have more kids, a good first step would be lowering infant mortality rates.
Like, that would be faster and easier than a social engineering solution, be uncontroversially...
