Oh, man. I’ll drop this link, just scroll to the VP nomination section if you really wanna be missed off.

He’s 83. It’s best for him to leverage his celebrity than to really hunker down with an administrative role. If Trump can find true believers best believe the good guys can.

Ugh, it’s bad. Mitch McConnells life work is about to be fulfilled. Courts are stuffed with gop goons to create a legit legal precedent for unitary executive theory. It’s bad. I’m mostly worried about deportation and family separation. I think he’s going to consider that a big thank you to the loyalty of his base. The cruelty is the point for a lot of those people. I’m worried that these policies will lead to race riots by Hispanics, especially if they fuck with DACA.

At this point I’d be in favor of him just starting a podcast and enjoying retirement. The left has to go around the DNC to effectively deliver their message, it’s foolish to think otherwise.

They can control the narratives. Democrats haven’t done enough to break the “both sides are the same” narrative, this is a 32 year problem. It breeds apathy and apathy helps autocrats.

It feels so fucking obvious to me and it has for the 20 years I’ve been voting, I fucking voted for dennis kucinich lol. There’s a reason Bernie was able to cut through the noise. He had a blunt and obvious, class based, economic ideology. That’s where he planted his flag.

The ‘third way’ Democrat machinery seems to plant it’s flag on reactionary culture war issues. Even if that’s only the perception, not reality, they always take the bait.

AND WHY THE FUCK DID IT TAKE SO GOD DAMNED LONG FOR TRUMP TO BE CHARGED FOR J6? If you want to call them Nazis you have to do Nuremberg when you have the fucking chance.

As an American, I’m sorry. Fuck. I feel like one if those “NoT aLl MeN” people.

Omg the gop has a super majority at the house level? Yikes, I feel sorry for their citizens.

Pretty sure he’s talking about Ashley babbit.

TAYLOR SWIFT WE NEED YOU! WHERE ARE YOU? DON’T LEAVE US WE NEED HELP!

This is obviously tounge in check but it feels closer to real than it should be.

I think he’s mostly shook by how bad the polls look ATM. Complacency is death, of course, but a remarkablely accurate poll in Iowa (pollsters name escapes me atm) picked Harris to flip Iowa. With the gap clearing the margin of error iirc. With a +8 Harris swing since September. If projections like that play out and if that +8 holds nationally Flordia and Texas might become toss ups.

You’re kind of missing the point. You’re correct on principle but the issue is how to actually regulate it and create laws around it. Im totally in favor of media campaigns with that point, it is a north star. Thats what they actually do in California. Still, someone can be .02 BAC and be be fine to drive. I’m sure there’s some alcoholics that can be over .08 and pass a coordination test, due to their tolerance. The .08 is the law for a good reason though.

The only way to do that for thc would be a blood test, to the best of my knowledge. I don’t think that’s practical. The answer is definitely NOT police discretion though.

I don’t know for sure but it must be state laws. I believe Georgia has has laws against it I know California does. It really creates so much needless nonsense and it would require the US congress to fix but the GOP has made that entire branch of government, practically, non-functional.

Missing little nugget on this. His current wife, ex mistress, was a producer in his show. Copy/pasted from Wikipedia: “Noelle filed for divorce in 2018 after Watters admitted to an affair with a producer on his show, Emma DiGiovine. Watters claimed to have begun dating DiGiovine by letting the air out of her vehicle’s tires so she would ask him for a ride.”

Funking all caps CREEP.
