Honestly, this will only make nationalizing them a more efficient process.

The end of the UK as the UK, surely.

They don’t actually have to hold an election for years, though, right? Starmer can keep fucking around and change course 18 months out from the election.

Listening to Revolutions podcast this year and having a totally normal one, why do you ask?

Assume I wrote the thing I meant instead of the thing I wrote.

White hating the republicans so god damned much that he waited until Clinton retired (despite White being well out of step with the Democratic Party but 1992) is maybe the most damning single fact for criticizing RBG.

This is a good point, which is why we pair pushing the bases out to lengthen the paths with commensurately growing the bases.

I cannot fathom a case for David Wright over just voting for no one, that shouldn’t merit losing your vote going forward.

The thing about Oakland is that I’m an adult transplant and this city kicks ass and I don’t want to live anywhere else.

If you just lengthened the basepaths, infielders would have to cover more ground, too, right? Pair that with pushing the walls back.

So maybe, but not definitely, this is right as to the specific goal of flipping one unlikely seat.

But if Dems raised the salience to their immediate detriment, then it’s a better indicator that the GOP is turbofucked. Making this more like a general, and obliterating them, is a good sign for Dems.

America is extraordinarily radical in that there are tons of different ethnic groups here, and we not only generally get along with each other, but the law treats us all equal equally, and we all do the same shit like eat fried butter.

What MAGA dares to ask is: what if we didn’t

Sen. Jacky Rosen emerging as one of the toughest Dem critics of Pete Hegseth's boat bombings. On MS NOW:

"Pete Hegseth [allegedly saying] β€˜kill them all' -- if he said that, that is clearly murder. Or if we're at war, it's illegal. And if we're not at war, then it's murder. And he needs to resign."

So he ruined the 7th inning stretch? And we’re to treat him as patriotic?

Prominent pseudo-firsty firsty Tom Nichols blowing up my shit to argue it’s good to treat our cabinet secretaries as above the law.

Idk, feels like you commit murder in a foreign country you risk being extradited there. Why should the secretary of defense be different?

How far down the list of people to learn do you think JD would be? I assume still before the public, but my guess is not way before.
