Nathan from Michigan

I think the asshole gets off on it

That's why he was appointed, so Trump has a buffer between him and the military for that, or something like "fire on those protestors!". That way it doesn't directly come from Trump

It's good.

Also, congratulations former State Rep Raymond Smith on getting the nod in NC 3rd to challenge Greg Murphy

I want to congratulate High Point, NC Mayor Cyril Jefferson in winning the North Carolina 6th district Democratic Primary tonight. Cyril Jefferson appears to be the only elected Dem official to take a shot at a R house district vs the NC gerrymandering. Good luck Mayor Jefferson

Also, the nonservice side of the UAW is pretty diverse, it's not like their the ILA

Weirdly, the UAW, which is sadly all over this story, is highly diverse and has not bad odds at electing an African American Woman as President after Fain (I'm a particular fan of VP Laura Dickerson-Ford Division and Region 1 Director Lashawn English)

2 of those unions worked their asses off against Trump (particularly the UAW).

Corrupttion? In New Jersey? Well I never...

It was our worst loss since 1988, though that also says something about how narrow our losses were since then

Weird local question for my SE Michigan people-are there any vacant 3rd Circuit court Judgeships up this year? Just checking

Pod save bros went left during 2020, they haven't been centrist in a long time

If so then it's likely to be like the "Hillary wanted Trump" conspirary. If it was gonna sink him, you'd have thought it would have. I'm beginning to think Platner is immune from scandal...

Podcast save gave went populist/left during Biden after a falling out with his admin. Their connections (like good friend Jen Psaki) did help Platner recover from the tattoo scandal, and I'll allow Psaki isn't left

I think it could make a stunning comeback as Health Insurance companies various antics screw people over. I don't even say that as a left winger, just for someone dealing with the issues of fracturing and rehabbing a shoulder in the US

The lone 99-1 vote in the Senate during Bushs term on legislation (I'm sure there was a random confirm probably) was the Patriot Act, and that 1 was Russ Feingold

While Klein is justifiably getting yelled at, the bigger problem is that the nazi stuff, save the tattoo which got laundered and killed as an issue by Jen Psaki late last year, *isn't* penatratjng Bluesky to the normies.

Apparently this stuff isn't leavjng social media...that's a problem...

So Ashton and McPherson have no chance? Because I'd feel a bit better about a candidate that didn't have 2 losses on them...

They named the mission, just so the administration could try to be all Hollywood and say "Epic Fury" like it's got a musical stinger at the end during a presser, didn't they?

It's likely to be like the debt that Musk used to buy twitter-we has Tesla stock not acted like the usual "bargaining chip stock used as a casino chip"? Because Musk has likely gotten a pass on the financing charges

The biggest problem, and one we're gonna struggle even more when Trump isn't around, is that we are in a "post reality" era in which image and vibe is far more important than what is actually going on...

A kesser important, but valid, subplot to the Fraham Platner quote tweeted anti semite Stew Peters-Dems need to get off twitter. As twitter takes on Musks personality, thw amount of anti Semitic and racist content and commenters being promoted is gonna continue to go way up

Always were...

For Gov I personally like Troy Jackson

Again I say "Who is supporting this?"

Tonight on Muppets After Dark...

Many Iraq-Bound GIs Buy Own Armor Despite Being Told Not To, And Despite Cost Of Over $1,000

For those who don’t remember we went into the 2003 Iraq war basically unprepared. Families bought body armor for their deployed relatives because military didn’t have enough.
