  • the voters who elected him, twice, are still around.

    Buddy, when Gallup stopped polling it, he was like 29% approval? Maybe 27%?

    our problem is America

    The problem is oligarchs and that neoliberals and Republicans both tried to give them anything they wanted for 30 years.

    That’s over, the neoliberls lost the DNC a year ago. Like, I get your feeling, 16 months ago I felt the same.

    But a lot of shit has happened you don’t seem up to speed on







  • Headline is damn near misinformation…

    But that’s the guardian’s fault:

    “In the face of rising demand and surging prices, I’m proposing a two-year pause on authorization of new datacenter tax credits,” Pritzker said. “With the shifting energy landscape, it is imperative that our growth does not undermine affordability and stability for our families.”

    He wants to cut off new credits (which is good) but he’s a fucking billionaire and this plan would be a huge benefit to the ones who got in first.

    We didnt even have time for this before we found out just the noise of data centers fucked people up.

    Pausing shit ain’t enough, but no billionaire will ever put the people over profits. And Pritzker decides every single second of his life that he’d rather be a billionaire instead of our ally.

    Stop expecting him to be





  • In all seriousness it’s gonna be bad.

    FEMA ain’t gonna be able to handle anything that actually happens, but at least this hurricane season will be right before midterms.

    It won’t get republicans to vote D, but it’ll depress their turnout if he leaves them “out to dry” right before midterms. But what would be worse for Republican turnout than him not helping, is actually trying to help (at least red states he likes) and failing miserably.

    It’s not that I’m cheering for future suffering. I’m realistic it’s gonna happen, and I’m hoping the silver lining is republican voters realize Republican politicians don’t give a fuck about them.







  • The irony is Hillary covered for Bill for decades even before they were friends with trump…

    You know, I’m not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette,” she said, wearing gold earrings and a black headband, perched next to him on a couch in a hotel suite in Boston and waving her clenched right hand. “I’m sitting here because I love him, and I respect him, and I honor what he’s been through and what we’ve been through together. And you know, if that’s not enough for people, then heck—don’t vote for him.”

    This was America’s introduction to Hillary Clinton, and it worked—for her husband. What she did on 60 Minutes saved his candidacy and his political career. Most agree he would not have become president without it.

    For her, however, it came at a steep cost. In 10 minutes of television, she projected a set of complicated, even conflicting images—forthright but defensive, feisty but dutiful—triggering the mix of skeptical, antagonistic feelings that have defined her with a share of the American public ever since.

    Bill lied and denied it, tapes came out, he had to admit it, and Hillary did an interview right after the super bowl gaslighting America into how older men giving young women a job and then pressuring sexual favors totally wasn’t a big deal and we should all just ignore it.

    They were using Trump’s strategy before he ever dreamed of holding office.
