If we’re for real getting a dictator, let’s at least be smart about it. Don’t give it to the conman or the insane Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society christofascists. What’s Gen. Mattis doing these days? He’d make an excellent dictator.
That’s sadness. Modern American cinema is not subtle.
Everyone keeps trying to sugarcoat this. We all saw what we saw. Biden did fairly well overall, but there were moments that showed that he’s lost it at times. Being President ages you 4 years each year. He and Trump are both practically 100 at this point.
He needs to restore confidence by having a strong successor.
The entire Democratic Party is sleeping on Andy Beshear. He checks all the boxes and then some. Young, smart, progressive, popular in a deep red state, etc.
He should at least be considered for VP.
Now they can get back to murdering journalists with impunity.
Top 5 marketing tactics EVERYONE hates. You won’t BELIEVE number three.
Biden could commit to only serving one more year and let the VP pick go to a brokered convention.
His performance has improved tremendously, but the damage may have already been done. I’m wondering how many people kept watching past the first 20 minutes.
Netanyahu has consistently said that the war on Hamas would continue even if Israel has to do it alone. I don’t agree with continuing to arm Israel, but it’s not like they don’t already have more weapons and ammunition than they need to continue to wage war in Gaza.
Netanyahu doesn’t even seem to care about the Israeli hostages. The war keeps him in power, so the war will continue. Biden can’t force him to make a different decision.
Although I’m not a huge fan of old guard centrists like Biden, I will admit that he’s been a decent president. While not enacting the kind of transformative change we need, he has been effective at making improvements to the law and advancing the interests of the people, in spite of pre-Civil War levels of partinsanship and fighting.
Internationally, he has handled the Ukrainian War pretty well by making the entire endeavor a joint NATO action from the very beginning. He’s positioned the US as a member of a powerful alliance, rather than a bully that tries to dictate everything. He should have lifted restrictions on military aide earlier, etc., but mistakes are always going to be made in complex situations. His weakest point is Israel, but looking back I’m not sure what he could have done to stop the war. Netanyahu sees this war as the vehicle for his political survival and refuses to listen to reason. He’s advanced a reasonable peace process multiple times and has even gotten Hamas on board (with a lot of help from Egypt, Qatar, and others, of course). In the end, he can’t force Netanyahu to do the right thing.
And of course, it has to be said that the alternative is worse across the board on every single issue. We still have a need for the president that Obama looked like he was going to be before taking office, but it just isn’t going to happen this time. Please just vote for Biden, especially if you live in a swing state. It’s what’s best for the country.
Time to translate those surrender instruction leaflets to Korean. Maybe go ahead and plan to build a large camp for malnourished people.
US, Egypt, Qatar, and every sane nation: Let’s end this war now.
Hamas: We’ll give Israel everything they want if they will end the war.
Israel: Fuck you. Give us everything we want, and we’ll still kill you all.
US and Israel: We’re not sure why Hamas is being so unreasonable, but it looks like no ceasefire.

“Trump is a sociopathic bully who claims to be a victim. If we follow his path, we can ruthlessly attack everyone we hate and still play the victim card. We’ll get back to ethics and morals and all that stupid shit later after everything we hate has been exterminated.”
This is outrageous. They’re not even going to attempt to investigate my report about an alien beaming into the bathroom and touching my peepee? Just for that, I’m filing 10 more complaints.
I haven’t seen it in a while, but I remember Lemmings saying to switch “economy” with “rich people’s yacht money” in your head when reading financial or economic news.
On the other hand, maybe your purpose in life is to serve as a warning for others.
Good thing Tesla has all that money rolling in from its wildly-successful Cybertruck debut.
I wish I shared your optimism. These extremist movements have a way of calcifying into basically a new religion. The warning signs are already plentiful.
The real issue for the MAGA cult is going to be succession. Trump can’t live forever, and it’s unclear whether his supporters can rally behind someone else.
