Miller is a vicious little shit who has what fantasy authors would call “low cunning”. He knows very well that he will never be as influential as he is right now, and that his influence will likely die with Trump. So he’s speed running all his stuff.
I personally think there’s going to be at least an attempt at a palace coup by Ron DeSantis once Trump is gone. He’s getting older, and he’s ambitious. I’m pretty sure he’ll beat Vance if he gets any momentum.
Seems he’s accurately representing his constituents so most of them probably are too.
There’s a quota on these imports, it’s capped at 49k vehicles which isn’t enough to immediately destroy the local car industry. Beyond 49k I think the 150 percent tariff will still apply. Carney is slow playing this. Probably wanted this limited deal with China done so that it’s a bargaining chip in the upcoming trade negotiations with the US.
Of course China knows all of that so it’s interesting that they’re playing ball.
There can’t possibly be enough coal miners for the electoral math to be that important. This feels more like a “cultural win” - sticking it to those tree lovers peddling scams like climate change, or whatever.
The fact is that Trump’s bad behaviour basically gives the DNC a license to avoid any real reform. The worse things he does , the better their odds of winning while fundamentally changing nothing.
So Trump or not your choice will be this guy or a full-blown mask-off facist.
The problem is it’s not obvious that it won’t work. Being a black women all else being equal loses you easily 5 percent of votes on its own. That’s an election. Newsome is a tall handsome white dude. People won’t have trouble “seeing him behind the desk”.
Trump and MAGA , in the midst of destroying the country , are also dragging the Overton window further right. The shittier they behave, the less the DNC feels the need for any radical change. Unfortunately, they could easily be right.
Isn’t NH already one of the whitest states? It wouldn’t even make a difference to scores even if their premises were correct. They’re racist for the love of the game.
How many americans need to be killed or wounded before congress shuts down this terror organization?
I think that question basically doesn’t have an answer, since Trump’s supporters don’t live in the same reality. Within their bubble, that agent is a hero and Good was a terrorist or whatever. They don’t know that previous administrations have managed to enforce immigration law without essentially declaring martial law, and they don’t know that ICE agents are being hired with literally no getting. If they found out, they are well-trained to not care .
If you want to know when this will even begin to stop, well, the stock market is doing just fine. While that is the case, Trump can do whatever he wants.
Remember folks, even the unproven allegation that Mossad paid off someone in those protests means that you have ideological cover to oppose the whole thing. Peak tankie logic .
Empathy is the reason we didn’t go extinct at the peak of the afro/eurasian bottleneck when we numbered less than 2,000 individuals.
True, but it’ll the current manosphere chud-driven narrative around this it’s also worth mentioning that empathy is not itself an emotion. It may result in an emotional response, but empathy itself is an cognitive process through which one person considers the perspective and emotions of another. Consciously turning off your empathy literally just makes you dumber and less rational.
You see this all the time with prominent Republicans who suddenly become pro-gay rights as soon as their own kids come out. Bruh, gay people didn’t suddenly start deserving rights just because your kid happens to be gay, so you were either being irrational before or you’re being irrational now. The cognitive process by which you could have avoided irrationality was by engaging in empathy - consider the perspectives and feelings of others, consider how and why they come about, and incorporate that into your thinking.
Why would they use russian IPs if it was a russian DDOS attack, lol
Because theres no reason not to.
I’ll be honest, when I read the headline I expected her to be significantly hotter.
This type of shit is why I really do not understand why people want Gavin Newsom as the next presidential candidate.
It’s just pragmatism. He’s the type of non-MAGA candidate that the US could actually elect, should a fair election occur again .
I can’t wait for the ADL’s statement explaining how this is fine and not real antisemitism.
They had to lose both of those wars and completely rebuild their political institutions for that trust to be rebuilt lol. Nothing like that will happen here. Nobody is coming to save you.
Half the country loves this btw.
why are the dutch like this
This is not “the same” as abortion restrictions. At most they’re only similar in that they’re on completely different ends of the same spectrum of incentives. The one-child policy basically burned the idea of the large families out of Chinese culture to the point where its effects persist even though it’s gone. While I agree that this change to contraceptive taxation won’t really do anything on its own (and I personally disagree with this kind of action), its part of a broader effort to encourage larger families to avoid demographic collapse including many positive incentives.
“Anyone who opposes being ruled by Moscow as a colony is a CIA stooge” seems to be completely standard tankie reasoning no matter how much theory they read.
