Glonzo the Great and Powerful

They fired hundreds of people for being insufficiently obsequious to a bigoted demagogue! This is who you want to partner with? Go fuck yourselves. I will not be part of a coalition with these people.

I am begging the left to stop pretending that you can ever have Donald Trump and MAGA voters as part of a left coalition.

They are not your friends, they do not want a more equal society, they do not support democratic socialism, and they ruthlessly persecute immigrants, trans people, and leftists!

been there man, I'm so sorry :(

what helped for me: cherish the good times, have a good cry, take a month to mourn, then head to the local shelter and find another conveniently-lap-sized carnivore to cuddle.

I'm explicitly not mad at Mamdani; I'm mad at his shithead adviser.

The shutdown was a good tactic but it couldn't stop ICE (because of reconciliation!) and if it had gone on much longer, federal employees like me would start missing car payments and rent checks, so there had to be an endgame.

Endorsed in its entirety.

You won't even acknowledge the reality of reconciliation, so I think we're done here.

The person who pushed that bill through, the person who's directing a fascist campaign of persecution against immigrants...

He's the person who Ryan Grim said Mamdani should lead "bottom v top politics" with.

OBBB was reconciliation, you fool. Not a single Democrat voted for it at any point in time for any reason ever.

Not a single Dem voted for OBBB. Straight-up party-line vote.

Newsom gets rightly destroyed here for doing the same thing earlier this year; I'm not willing to have a double standard for Mamdani.

Ah fuck. Primary that ass.

I would prefer that Mamdani's advisers not propose a red-brown alliance, actually.

Yeah man, that's not what Ryan Grim meant and you know it.

Hadn't seen that; that's pretty shitty too. Any members of leadership?

More to the point, the left just won an election by making a stand against Donald Trump and everything he stands for.

Now you're telling me you're going to win elections by building an alliance with him? Fuck that.

I wouldn't vote for Gavin in 2028 and I'm not gonna vote for anyone whose strategists are approvingly RTing Ryan Grim either.

What part of "bottom v top politics" is Donald Trump?

Like, this is as bad as anything Gavin Newsom has ever done, and he rightly gets a world of shit on this site.

ok this is flat-out bad.

Mamdani needs to fire Katz tonight.

No palling around with red-brown fascism.

As we know, John Roberts had a principled opposition to racial gerrymanders

Wait, im hearing...

MAGA CIVIL WAR, ROOT FOR [redacted]

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA IN RE: SUBPOENA NO. 25-1431-014 : MISCELLANEOUS ACTION : : NO. 25-39 MEMORANDUM KEARNEY,J. November 21, 2025 Our elected Congresspersons granted the Department of Justice limited authority in 1996 to investigate federal health care offenses involving the labeling and distribution of prescription drugs. The Department of Justice is now investigating the labeling and distribution of prescribed clinically authorized puberty blockers and hormone therapy. It subpoenaed fifteen categories of records from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia including billing and insurance records, communications with manufacturers and sales representatives, and the names and complete medical and psychological records of children receiving gender-affirming care. The Hospital agrees to produce most of the requested materials. But it objects to producing the identities of its child patients and their families along with their confidential medical files. Its objection requires we study two questions: whether Congress authorized a subpoena for the children's confidential medical records, and, if so, whether the children's privacy interests outweigh the Department of Justice's need for these confidential medical records under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. We find the answer to both questions is "no." We strike the three requests for these child- identifying and treatment and disclosure records as beyond the authority granted by Congress. We also find, even if this private information could be relevant, the heightened privacy interests of children and their families substantially outweighs the Department's need to know the children's names, addresses, and treatment along with disclosures for gender-affirming care at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

and for the avoidance of doubt, "leftist" is in quotes because they're fake. they're not really of the left, despite what they try to claim.

Way too many enemies you can't kill with a headshot and then that alerts the whole world and your stealth build is just broken at that point. plus there's no stealth mods for the late-game weapons (marksman rifle/assault rifle) @obsidian.net

I am only moderately enjoying Outer Worlds 2 for this reason. Stealth and suppressed weapons are... iffy at best, even with a shit ton of perks and skill points invested in it.

This. You can't play a stealth sniper if it takes 10 headshots to kill someone. Locks out the play styles I most enjoy.

Donald Trump slashed taxes on the rich, gutted government services, is destroying Medicaid and SNAP, and runs a fascist deportation scheme.

but sure Trump definitely represents "what bottom v top politics could look like."

fucking dipshit aesthetics "leftists"

Trump: so if I recite this 'shahada' and implement a bunch of social programs, I get into heaven?

Mamdani: that's right, Mr. President

Trump: and when do I get one of those cool rugs? I always thought those looked neat. like rolling out a little red carpet for yourself every few hours
