The Butlerian Jihad must be made more popular - thank you for using the name here!

This wasn't a backfire. It is intentional. A stressed economy makes the population less resistant to fascism. It's a simple equation, and a game that's been played - successfully - before.

That would require decency.

Hell yeah - I love mine. I'm late to the game too, but damn this thing is useful!

I love AOC. She's intelligent, progressive, vibrant, and has guts...

But outside the blue echo chamber, we have to face the harsh reality: the United States is not ready for a female president. It's fucking sad, but it's true. It's been proven twice. I hate it, but we do not have the luxury.

OK that's pretty awesome!

Love to hear this news!
But do not count on a Blue Wave, or the "coming bloodbath" on the 2026 mid-terms! Trump is charismatic, and MAGA has deep roots in our culture.

So we need to fight it, hard Because the mid-terms are the last chance. If the GOP keeps hold, it will be our last election...

Ok, boomer

STOP CALLING PEOPLE WHO OPPOSE MAGA, THE "LEFT".

That's pure bad-ass right there.
Kudos to her!

"...BUT he had a RIGHT to speak all the racist White supremacist twaddle he wanted", and he has the right to suffer the consequences.

I ask again: Where's the enforcement? If SCOTUS makes a decision, and Trump ignores it, who enforces it? This has already happened, and the Administration is immune to court decisions, so where is the force?

"The extent to which these companies assume by default that they are unimpeachable and can do this stuff without any fear of meaningful consequences is reaching truly impressive heights."

True. But they very much *are* unimpeachable. There is no law enforcement at those levels.

Not necessarily a traitor, if the "expanded access to housing services" measures up. This is the only viable solution in this economy.

Our society urgently needs to find ways of helping, and incorporating, people who cannot, or even will not, take care of themselves. The alternative is gas...

Our civilian police forces have them. It is our right to be as well armed as the police, at a minimum.

It's a shame that our society is not strong enough to be entitled this right, and it will be taken away. I'm not saying this support.
Freedom of Assembly is next.
Freedom of Speech after that.

Please remove the 300-character limit on comments. We need to foster deeper discussion, not more Twitter-esque short-attention-span nonsense!

I suppose you're right, which is good news since the Dems need someone popular to counter Trump (if Trump lives to the next election).

I juse want to see some of the decorum restored to our nation's politics, and not more of this all-caps ranting method of discourse.
