The only thing that Democrats are capable of doing is impeaching Trump

They have nothing

Well, that's what we're going to get given the complete crapshow the GOP is putting on right now. When you choose not to govern, people notice. The GOP has already abdicated their roles in the legislature, November will just be the formality of that current reality. People won't be choosing the Dems because they like their policies or likelihood of impeaching the President, they'll be choosing them simply because the GOP is offering nothing.

They’re all on the same team and winning for them is staying in office and profiting

Yup. Changing the label from "R" to "D" doesn't hold out a lot of hope. It'll happen, but I'm not banking on a lot changing.

Generally, yes.

Elon is so amazingly ignorant and racist at times, it’s breathtaking.

[kalm]

More genius level thinking on culture…

[BDKJMU]

Unreal.

Unreal.

If true, that's as wrong as the crap that Mom's for Fascism does.

Read the entire tweet from Theil. This is spot fucking on.

This is an honest assessment and well worth the read from start to finish.

Look, I wish this ended with a group hug and a couple deep breaths. But America’s not there yet.

Hell, we’re not even in the parking lot of “there yet.”

Half this country is still locked in a Ford F-150 outside a Bass Pro Shop, gripping a semi-automatic and muttering about lizard people.

Because here’s the thing: healing requires self-awareness.

And you can’t reach self-awareness when your nervous system is stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or post-9/11 country music video.

The U.S. is a nation of undiagnosed C-PTSD survivors, particularly in working-class, rural, and evangelical communities. They were never taught to regulate emotion. Never taught that love doesn’t come with violence. Never taught that power isn’t protection.
Instead of therapy? They got Fox News.

Instead of EMDR? They got Back the Blue.

Instead of healing? They got Donald J. Trump—a one-man trauma reenactment loop

Ahh, the contempt for red America just dripping. Another Stage 4 TDS complaining about a bunch of deplorables clinging to their guns and religion.

And that's different from MAQA's contempt for blue America how?

MAQA isn't that different from what it pretends to hate.

No.

That’s a kayak paddle. And I don’t own fishing pools. Those are going down to crawdad hole.

Anglers use rods.

Massive LOTR fan, owns U.S. government, sides with Mordor.

Awesome. The internet version of Radio Free Europe.

makes your traffic look like it’s coming from the U.S.

They say they won’t track user activity.

For context, the EU just fined X €120 million for not complying with its content rules.

Germany alone forced the removal of over 16,000 pieces of content in 2024.

Now the U.S. government is building a portal to make all of that accessible again.

A former state department official called it “a direct shot” at european laws.

The domain was registered January 12. The site currently shows a login page with the words “fly, eagle, fly.”..

A sane school principal. A rarity.

Does he suspend students who leave school early for other unexcused reasons? If not, why is he singling out this particular reason/activity?

This might be more appropriate to post in the Free Speech thread.

Fvck Canada!

MERICA!

I don’t follow hockey and have no idea why the US was playing Canada. I thought the NHL was going on now but whatever.

[BDKJMU]

In contrast to the US Olympic athletes who have made it known that they aren‘t proud to be American..
