Best case scenario in the next few years is a whole lot of voters who for some reason can't seem to remember who they voted for in 2024.

Yamamoto has been so much fun to watch this postseason

Thank god Gausman had a clean inning so we can at least avoid the discourse that would've happened if he blew up after the extended wait

If not for the dismantling of USAID, staff would already be mobilized to respond immediately after the storm and relief supplies would also be provided immediately. International relief at anything even remotely approaching that scale now is sadly impossible

If Youngkin wasn't term limited and you had Spanberger taking him down it would be a big deal, but as it is they'll just blame it on Earle-Sears and continue on in a fugue state

Can't comprehend how there's no one around her able to convey that it's time to resign. A bunch of people to feckless to confront reality and assume the personal risk of having a difficult conversation.

Sure, but that's also because those possible candidates knew the party would already have their thumb on the scale for Mills in the Senate primary

There's still 9 months until the primary, just absolute malpractice by Schumer and the DSCC to crowd out the field

I just find the people claiming the timing had anything to do with strategically maximizing impact ridiculous, especially considered alongside Schumer already endorsing Mills this week. Jeffries and Schumer were just hoping something would take Mamdani down before they had to bite the bullet

Whole administration of irredeemable freaks not ready for when they don't have top cover from Trump

It already looks extremely bad that Schumer has already endorsed Mills 9 months before the primary happens while refusing to endorse Mamdani 2 months *after* he's already won a primary

The centrality of online play can't help. Games can enter a death spiral extremely fast if there's too much of a barrier to entry to build a player base large enough to have good queue times

Dem leadership continues to ignore the base at their own peril. To the extent there are any candidate quality concerns with the change candidates, that's a problem of leadership's own making.

A bit premature to write the eulogy based on one candidate in one primary flaming out 13 months before the midterms

Inevitable consequence of dem leadership trying to suppress the energy of the base instead of channel it. More serious candidates are always going to wait for permission and if they're not getting permission from leadership the only alternate options will be rougher around the edges

We're in desperate need of earnest celebration of shared values again

While a lot of the "greatest generation" narratives in the 90s around the 50th anniversary of D Day felt a bit overly sanctimonious at the time, it's impossible not to connect the rise of nazism perfectly coinciding with years that last members of that generation have mostly passed on

A lot of Obama people, especially the pod save guys, hate Netanyahu due to specific slights against Obama during his time in office, so sometimes that leads to a more pro-Palestine view even if it's primarily motivated by personal grievance

I mean the fact that this is happening exclusively as a bribery vehicle is pretty bad. There's no such thing as "privately funding" the demolition and construction of a wing of the white house, that's fake.

Straightforward from here. Trump pockets the bribe money, cancels the Clark/AECOM contract, next dem admin inherits a construction site, and we get the Jake Tappers of the world tsk tsking when a democratic admin needs taxpayer funding to clean up the mess

A bit odd that the press keeps referring to a "partial" demolition of the east wing of the white house when it's quite clear the entire thing is in the process of getting razed to the ground. Don't need to be a construction expert to see that nothing is being salvaged

I mean that north wall is clearly going to come down in the coming days and that's visible from Pennsylvania Ave

Incredibly high on their own supply

Nory Doesn’t Go to School Here Anymore

absolutely heartbreaking www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

Might end up being a moot point if the Jays pile it on here, but no one intentionally walks the tying or go ahead run on base in the 9th inning of game 7

Worst part is denying Cal a guaranteed AB in the 9th

He probably will, but this is one where they'll actually pull the nomination anyways while whining about it

Kinda hope they don't pull it though because no chance this guy has the game to weather a confirmation hearing about this stuff under oath without some pretty serious negative consequences for himself and his ilk

I'm generally of the "nothing matters" persuasion, but would be surprised if they don't pull Ingrassia's nomination before the Thursday hearing.

Inevitably when a democrat becomes president in 4 years, they're going to inherit a useless, half built structure with no funds to finish it since Trump is using a bribery slush fund that he'll surely pocket.
