Read the JD Vance Dossier We’re publishing the supposed Iran-hacked document. Here’s why.

From now until 2028 we need to remind folks that #Vance is not a #Trump supporter

Opponents will upload AI videos depicting ICE committing horrible acts so the database becomes virtually impossible to use it as a source to illustrate agents' ACTUAL horrible acts.
Critics will decry its content as "fake" and "unreliable".
It will become the equivelant of VAERS.

I live in one of the host cities and would lose 0 sleep over the games being moved to another host country. I don't care that we'd lose the tourist $$$.

I live in one of the host cities and am all for these games being relocated to another country. I don't care at all that we'd lose the tourist revenue.

Not getting 100% behind a candidate and standing idly by during his candidacy isn't the same as "showing massive resistance" to him

The agent was attempting to use ICE’s facial recognition app.
They do that at all encounters.

I'm of the belief that the time for questions and criticism is during the selection process; after we have a candidate then the members of a Party should do everything they can to get the candidate elected - not continue to criticize them and erode Party support.

Let's see how much change Mamdani can effect, then, and see how successful that change ultimately is. Hopefully it will lay a foundation for others to build on, regardless of what they call it.

"Anarchy" isn't a solution to a society's problems; it just feeds an individual's ego into believing that no one else's ideas / solutions merit consideration.

I don't disagree. But it is THE SYSTEM that we currently have to work within and complaining about the system won't change it.
I'm all for overturning Cit. United but if you have to expand SCOTUS to do it then expect the next POTUS to do the same to reinstate it. Back and forth ad nauseum.

And what does "leftist" even mean any more? Socialism? Communism? Democratic Socialism? Social Democracy? Neo-Marxism?
I think most agree w/ higher taxes on wealthy individuals & corps, & desire racial, gender, and class equality.

Or do you mean 100% overhaul of existing gov't to achieve that?

and even if you are complaining about a specific 1 or 2 or 3 individuals, my comments stand:
No politician is going to say that the US should stop providing support to Israel.
No national politician is going to forego large-donor funding.

If you want to complain about a narrow sub-group of liberals then perhaps you shouldn't group all liberals together when you complain about how they/we aren't conforming to your ideals

That article addresses their positions on trans women in sports. That's why I provided it.

"the party should be more open to hearing legitimate concerns about trans students participating in girls’ and women’s sports, similarly advocating for compassion and a hands-off approach from Washington."

No politician running for any office is going to announce cutting military "aid" to Israel; expecting anyone to make that stand is just patently unrealistic.

You call this "throwing trans people under the bus"? thehill.com/homenews/lgb...

Have "liberals" done either of those things en masse? Has the Democratic Party sanctioned either of those things?

You're assume "liberals" (i.e. Democrats) should be on YOUR page and therefore it's 100% THEIR fault the party is divided.
Why must everyone migrate to your position - whatever that is?

No one in this administration is concerned about the criminality of their actions because, on the morning of Jan 20, 2029 #Trump will issue pardons to every Cabinet member, deputy, advisor, family member, and every other complicit person.

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
