We just need to burn it all to the ground and start again without the billionaires and the losers.

I think it's probably the most they could have done while keeping the caucus on task.

Watching assholes lose slowly over a few days is probably the most underreported benefit of mail-in voting.

Specializing in subs made with bacon of course

I'm fine with dealing with that massive Trump ego in strategic ways to calm him down, and my mind is boggled as to what Ford was thinking with the ad compaign.

However, I feel like this is starting to become a way of soft-pedaling neoliberal policies and accepting subjugation.

Case in point in particular about inspirational candidates. Wilson is motivating voters because she's talking about doing things, while Harrell has been scrambling to pass in his homework at the last minute with a flurry of different announcements to make it seem like he gives a shit.

The weaksauce language from these rich assholes is some of the most demotivating, disempowering shit for people interested in getting involved in politics.

I mean, what kind of person exactly gets inspired to knock on doors or work at a phone bank for the bland centrists Douthat is advocating for?

A lot of British + Commonwealth conservatives are probably going to turn hardcore small-r republican once Charles goes, if only because their loyalties were first and foremost to their generation and they'll just see the current heir apparent as a spoiled rich kid.

Yep - I'm down with general anti-monarchism and anti-colonialism

I hope that William dissolves the monarchy. It's the one kind of republicanism I can get behind.

The goal should be to completely degrade the morale of any occupying troops. Shun them, refuse to serve them, make fun of them, and make sure they understand they aren't wanted, appreciated, or valued. Make them quit.

"Proudly" "Canadian Owned"

Burnout. You can't organize something like this every week and expect to keep your day job.

He doesn't want an actual civil war -- he wants the appearance of one that he can quickly put down. A true civil war would devastate the US economy for generations, and even he isn't stuipid enough to encourage US billionaires to decamp for Singapore or Dubai or somewhere.

This is why in the long term secession is the only answer to this problem. Much as I'd like to have an imperial president that can sidestep a conservative Congress and cancel student debt, I do not want to deal with bullshit like this ever again.

I guess Patrick Condon isn't the only person that can summon that goofy carnival music in my brain

I think this might be like the time I found out that Jon Favreau didn't go from directing Iron Man to writing speeches for Obama.

It certainly isn't, but Chef Boyardee isn't really ravioli either

I don't think it's obvious to many people how much rot will need to be cleaned out once this idiot leaves office.

Surprisingly it's a Norwegian national food.

I guess Argentina is less of a draw now for retirement of... "ex-government officials".

I'll agree that the basis for Brazilian tariffs are even worse than Canadian tariffs, but it makes all of those tours by members of Congress and governors seem absolutely insincere.

I don't know what's more ludicrous: that the dumbest motherfuckers on the planet are in charge right now, or that so many people believe they somehow know what they're doing.

I think they're all great performances! But an important part of the story seems specifically that Bob is a background character that's inexplicably a main character.

It does parallel the state of the country that the top billed actor plays an older white dude that thinks he's the protagonist but is almost completely unnecessary to the story and most of the important and watchable story beats are from the fifth-billed Gen Z'er

His regular statements in public meetings are definitely a trip.

I'll clearly articulate my position that Jeffries can go fuck himself.
