Unfortunately, she's an unserious woman with a serious amount of blood on her hands.

The man was a tyrant, no question

It's weird to call someone a tyrant when he preceded over one of the most peaceful and productive periods of Yugoslavian history. Then he dies, the various ethnic enclaves get a fresh influx of "liberal" mass media, and we've hearing the genocide machine rev up again within five years. Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, the GDR, and even Romania seem to tell the same story.

Would that any of them - or Afghanistan or Libya or Haiti/DR or even fucking Texas - have a man half as "tyrannical" as Tito in charge, instead of the psycho fascist fucks and capitalist ghouls they inherited.

Until the CIA pinned the Muslims against the Christians and tore the country apart.

It's funny how the United States is experiencing a very similar ethnic tension happening currently. I guess what goes around can come around.

Trump is willing to surrender our our natural resources to Russia cause he is weak.

I mean, its weird to say this when Dems are the one hiding under their desks every time Trump stumbles back into DC after a Big Mac bender. Trump sees real estate he thinks is "worthless" because it is part of the National Wildlife Refuge and is trading it for something he considers "worthwhile", which is a detente in Ukraine that'll give him time to carve up and sell off the choice bits of its western real estate.

This isn't "weak", its just about personal enrichment. What's "weak" is a Congress and Court that will rubber stamp his decisions, for fear of looking divisive or intransigent or insufficiently loyal. Like, watch how Senator Dan Sullivan responds to this shit by lining up to lick Trump's puckered asshole.

My man absolutely loves a shady real estate deal. Surprised he isn't throwing in that collapsed Minnesota bridge and all the leaded pipes in Flint, Michigan.

Excited to see this money converted into wall-to-wall sportsball commercials staring a guy in a wheelchair and a "I Killed Bin Laden" baseball cap saying how he didn't lose his kidneys in Fallujah so a bunch of high schoolers could go out and get abortions that change their gender.

the ones who want a future in politics, like Newsom, are recognizing they need to be tougher.

They're recognizing they need to cuddle up to TPUSA and the AIPAC lobby. Hence Newsom's choice of podcast guests.

Newsom "called for" a ballot item to answer whether the state legislature should begin to form a committee to consider redrawing districts by... 202(?) Some legislators think they have enough votes to put the item on the ballot. No official word on what that ballot item to tell the legislature to begin the process will look like, of course. And there's ample opportunity for Republicans to run a bunch of negative ads, for the courts to interfere, and for the national legislature to intercede.

So they've telegraphed a punch two years in advance, while their opposition has tanks camped out in LA for over a month.

An oil producing enthostate governed by a neoliberal plutocracy?

I think we already tried that under Bush, Obama, and Biden.

No no no. She ran a perfect campaign.

I have it on good authority that she was stabbed in the back by far-left, transgender, pro-Putin antisemites.

Next time - and there will be a next time, it's her turn - she needs to be even more friendly with moderate Republicans and win back the Joe Rogan demographic. The Democrats need their own Jordan Peterson. They need their own Yeomni Park. They need their own Curtis Yarvin. They need their own X, The Everything App.

That is the only way to win the coveted American swing voter.

Blue States simply won't do this, because they are not part of a coherent national political project.

They'll bluff and then hope Republicans fold.

The perils of being too online.

If Zelensky is any indication, comedians make for excellent heads of state and ministers of war
