translation: every major act hates trump and what he’s done to the place and the only people who would play the kennedy center are so beneath the standards of the kennedy center that if the standards were at the earth’s core these acts are looking up at it.

trump bank failure.

make sure that messaging is clear.

this last week i finally bit the bullet and switched my default launcher to smart launcher once they finally got infinite scrolling working.

i think 2 days later nova updated to this latest version. i’m not going to see ads since i paid for it more than a decade ago. but that fb tracking (that i was not made aware of) i really don’t like.

i hope nova gets open sourced soon.

but according to the media, it’s DeMs In DiSsArAy!!!¡!!eleven!!!

they do that because they know that republicans are a good story since they cannot govern but democrats do govern but are boring as hell, so they have to inflate public party discussions as a major fucking incident.

if it weren’t for a very partisan media, partisan towards access and lazy journalism than actual investigative work and doing some basic journalistic work, the infighting between republicans in the era of trump would be a lot more well known and widespread than any of the relatively minor things democrats argue about.

wendy’s either dave’s double or triple depending on how hungry i am, no mayo.

the colorado courts should absolutely grant her request and officially recognize that she received a federal presidential pardon. and in the same ruling also take notice that the presidential power of the pardon does not apply to any state charged crimes and that she will remain in prison until the colorado governor commutes or pardons her sentence, she receives parole from a parole board, or she serves her sentence in full.

their plan is what alan grayson said it was nearly 16 years ago:

the republican healthcare plan is DON’T GET SICK. and if you do get sick DIE QUICKLY.

and how many of them voted for trump?

it honestly depends on how much you use the service.

i had an account for a while to a site that shut down. while i had it i was downloading a bunch of different files, not necessarily pirated stuff.

i’d say if torrents isn’t a viable option and you would be using that site downloading at least 500 mb worth of data a day, it might be worth it. if something you want is available only on one of these sites, it depends on how bad you want it and how soon you want it.

uh huh.

if bernie actually did the work to attract me actual base of the party, which by the way are not college age kids but black people, specifically black women, he would not have lost the primary.

and since that election he had another 4 years to work on his extreme deficit with black voters, but had zero outreach with that cohort. instead he doubled down on the youth vote.

that’s not a strategy to win a primary. but it’s a perfect strategy to try to split off young voters into not supporting the democratic choice in the future. and not shutting down conspiracy theories about rigged primaries doesn’t help either. what it does is create distrust where there shouldn’t be, fracture the party to turn against itself instead of the real threat which is the republican party, and in fact increase the chances that republicans win in greater margins because the super bernie side refuses to be smart and do damage limitation by not voting for the viable non republican candidate.

and by the way a few additional things that need to be considered:

1. if he wants the democratic nomination, why doesn’t he formally join the party? what he was asking for has been equal access to resources without a full commitment to the party. you all would rightfully object if I declared I’m running for president as a democrat even though I’m a registered non partisan. what makes him any different from me as far as the party is concerned?
2. it really is rich how you are all upset about the democrats (allegedly) putting the thumb on the scale for a candidate so now there is a pledge that all people in dnc leadership have to agree to that formally states that leadership will be neutral in all party races from now on. so which is it, you don’t want the dnc influencing races or do you not want the voters in the districts to decide who their candidates should be without party influences?
3. you also all think that the super progressive democratic candidate will play everywhere in the country. sure, it may work where I live. but I’m a blue® dot in a state trump won by 31 points. you have to run candidates that will win and super liberals in places like appalachia, oklahoma, or wyoming would consider it a good race if they lost by 50 points.

what it seems like to me is that what the vast majority of people here want is to destroy the democratic party from the ground up in the name of a stupid purity test the vast majority of the party does not agree with, and they want to do it while the most dangerous, insane person who is also the head of a violent cult is in the white house. you’re trying to make your own left wing cult with either bernie or aoc as the head and the rest of the party is not with that.

as I said above I’m not a registered democrat. I find myself politically closer to aoc and bernie. and I’M telling y’all that following and supporting hogg’s move will end the democratic party or any viable non republican party for generations.

i agree with hogg that the party needs a reset, but the vice chair of the party should not be the one making that comment because it gives all appearances that the party will be picking and choosing the primary candidates and throwing their weight behind their preferred candidate. that’s going to lead to party fractures and a lot of hard feelings. you want to ensure more republicans winning easier than they should on the local level? have the party pick the candidate instead of the people in the district.

that’s why i am very glad the chair has pretty much laid down the law. the party leadership (save one) is committed to electing democrats wherever they are whoever they are. one person in leadership is committed to electing specific democrats to office.

which if you think about it is a colossal failure. he’s down in florida. he’s had ample opportunity to elect his chosen democrats in florida with his pac. how successful were his candidates? and you’ve got people who see that (lack of) success he had in florida and say, “yeah, let’s take that plan and apply it nationwide, even if the better democrat for an area isn’t someone that hogg prefers.”

what hogg is doing is wrong and destructive enough to irreparably splinter the party. it’s bad enough that he might be voluntold to resign.

but what carville is talking about doing is stupid moronic and only puts his name in the news again. he’s not only got no standing, he’d be laughed out of court.

in a vacuum what hogg is doing is fine. but the vice president of the party is never the appropriate person to do that. the party is responsible for getting more democrats. if the democrats in office are not doing the job or made for the current moment it’s up to the local grassroots orgs and activists to recruit, fundraise, organize, and turn out primary voters for better democrats. the party has no business getting involved in any democratic primary unless there is an obvious planted republican stalking horse involved.

and if the local folks back in the district cannot or will not find a quality qualified candidate to run, that’s in them not the national party.

can I just say as a cis male how weird it is how everyone forgets trans men exist and that everything they say that applies to trans women also applies to trans men. I’m surprised how no one has ever brought up a 14th amendment equal protection clause argument against these laws because clearly the the intent of the laws and the language of these laws was written exclusively for trans women.

and then there are the opposite cases, where in order to comply with the law, manly masculine men would be forced to use the women’s restrooms.

you know, with women.

especially the easily frightened at everything because they have been societally coddled and protected for the entire history of this country white women.

i don’t know. I’m not ever going to personally deal with that, but I think that if all trans people were going to comply with these idiotic and pointless laws that don’t protect the people they are written to protect the trans women probably would have it easier than trans men. I really don’t see too many men being seriously traumatized seeing a woman in the men’s room (especially when cis females have used men’s rooms with men in them regularly at places like concert venues when the line to the women’s room is long or too far away).

but then again I don’t really give a shit, just flush and wash your hands.

so how are we going to pay for it? where are we going to get the money?

I’m also in kentucky. I may save $25 but that’s only because of my investments that aren’t much and are getting smaller by the day.

they are doing this when the federal government is slashing disbursements to the states, especially the funds that those very same southern and very republican states rely on.

i honestly hope they do it. because it’s going to jack up property taxes and sales taxes to sky high levels. you thought southern states were old and homogeneous now. wait until the next generation can’t afford housing, can’t pay for the basics, can’t even find poor poverty wage jobs, and have no social safety net to catch them because social safety nets is soshulizm and communust.

there’s anti union as in “we think they’re a nuisance but we are tolerating them” and anti union as in “we are going to do everything in our power, legally and otherwise to make sure a union does not form or actively work to break the union that is in existence now”, companies like amazon and walmart and starbucks. if costco is anti union they are definitely not the second from what I’ve seen.

costco being anti union is news to me. especially since they are very loudly not dropping their dei program.

this is excellent news.

the public already hates him. and by wrapping his arms fully around the republicans the people will hate them both even more.
