Pessimistic Optimist
That's her entire MO. She's an ardent free speecher, except when it comes to Israel. No criticism of Israel allowed and nothing sympathetic to Muslims in general and Palestinians in particular.

I agree. And I abhor that we will be Turkey or Hungary. And it is important to fight back now because the longer we are Turkey or Hungary the harder it will be to get back to the USA.

What's stupid about this argument is that a regime doesn't have to be fascist to be abhorrent. Whatever one thinks the current regime is (we seem to be at early Modi/Erdoğan at a minimum), even incipient authoritarianism is repugnant and extremely worrying. Silly to demand it be labeled fascistic .

Besides being incredibly vapid, she’s horribly hypocritical. She’s anti-cancel culture unless some even hints Israel may have something even just a little bit wrong. Then she screams anti-Semite and wants that person punished.

You can be certain the narrative at CBS News will be the only good Palestinian is a dead Palestinian.

Mexico believes the US is trafficking guns down to Mexico to aid cartels. There’s a lawsuit pending now. Doesn’t Trump’s action provide justification for Mexico to blow up American gunrunners?

What’s most frightening about this line of reasoning is that it makes clear these right wing fanatic judges feel confident Dems will never get back into power and the fact they are that confident is a huge red flag.

I’m here and on Twitter in a limited way, primarily to get breaking news, but in general social media as a whole, including this site and Twitter are destructive to society.

I’m rushing to a conclusion: he didn’t do it because he was trans, or MAGA, or a racist, or anything other than seriously and disastrously mentally ill and was aided by America’s hard on for guns.

By an odd coincidence Donalds also gave his virginity to Christi in a Cracker Barrel parking lot.

The constant refrain these days is how Dems don't get it, they are out of touch. Someone please tell me how the hell you deal with people who are outraged about the Cracker Barrel logo. A large swath of Americans have lost their fucking minds.

We are so fucked.

Given much of the arbitrariness of what happens to people in life, if religion didn’t exist it would need to be invented to help people deal with that arbitrariness. Which is why I’m such a skeptic.

Maybe it's because Americans aren't on the whole, great people. If large swaths of people worry more about Riley Gaines having to share 5th place with a trans swimmer than electing an objectively vile corrupt asshole, there's only so much convincing you can do as a Democrat.

Noem is effing vile.

He was great as a guest on Lettermen, but he was milquetoast as a host. Very bland.

My most important wish is that I die before my kids and grandkids. My biggest fear is that wish doesn’t come true. I don’t think there is any way I can survive as a functioning person if that were to happen.

So, can you establish a nationwide organization in which US citizenship is mandatory for membership and then seek a nationwide injunction so you can determine definitively whether someone qualifies as a member?
June 28, 2025 at 2:10 AM
Birthright citizenship is a matter that screams for nationwide resolution, and denying a nationwide injunction may cripple that happening. Knowing it will lose on appeal, the Trump administration has little incentive to bring any appeal so there never will be any definitive answer to the question.
June 28, 2025 at 1:52 AM
A definitive resolution of the birthright citizenship matter has to be done sooner rather than later. It is beyond insane to have someone's US citizenship depend on which court district or circuit you live in. That is the type of question screaming for a nationwide resolution ASAP.

They unknowingly cause harm in virtually everything they do because they pledge allegiance to Trump, and Trump is incredibly stupid. There are a few exceptions - when they knowingly cause harm because in addition to being stupid they are assholes.
