Fuck him and all but this isn't shocking. I have never met a south asian (indian and co) that was genuinely christian. I've met a lot of oriental asians, especially koreans for some reason, who are true christians that walk the walk and seem to genuinely believe but i've never met an indian who did.
 
Fat fuck Randy Fine claps back against Dan whatever-his-name.

That seems like sort of thing that would need a constitutional amendment, not a bill in congress. WA just got slapped down for the legislature trying to add a bunch of requirements for holding the office of sheriff, which is a creation of the state constitution, through an act of the state legislature, including having replacement sheriffs being appointed by commissions of unelected officials.
 
“Make them write down their fascism.”
I don't think "leaving a comprehensive paper trail documenting the deep error of your choices as a librarian, as observed by outsiders" is quite the winning strategy she thinks it is.

Most people (including fascists) are quite happy to put in writing all the ways their opponents and targets suck.
 
Kamala isn't qualified to run a lemonade stand, let alone be President of the US.

Like it or not Harris is now leading Newsome in the latest DNC polls by 5 points.

The big question is really does Harris want to run again? Another loss would make her a bigger laughing stock then Hillary and pretty much torpedo what's left of her career as a "elder statesman" that she's desperately trying to cling too.

Newsome will run no question. His whole life has been crafted for a PotUS run but Harris stumbled into it by chance. Got humiliated and trashed by Trump and whether it will be Vance or Rubio who runs, it will not be a guaranteed win. The Democrat party is fractured down the centre and cash is at an all time low. Whomever takes up the reigns will be responsible for wielding the party back together and setting the path going forward, getting the Progressives to toe the line and not spook off voters with their crazy woke agenda and Trump won't be there to be the big bogey man. Vance and Rubio are not nearly as polarizing Trump and don't have all the baggage he does so the MSM attack game will be even less effective then it was last time. This may indeed be the last roar of the dinosaur MSM as they will desperately want to prove to the power elites that they still have ability and purpose to swing public opinion and thus shouldn't be left for dead.

The RNC, under Laura Trump, has made great strides in dealing with the "creative" ways the Democrats count votes in several swing states. If the economy picks up in 2027 then whomever the DNC puts forward faces a pretty big ass hill to climb and Harris just doesn't have the mental capabilities to not only go in front of the nation and not fuck shit up like 2025 but to unite a fractured and rebellious party half of which hate her guts. And she will have to do it for much longer this time. No hiding under Biden for 90% of the campaign. She will be front and centre the entire time.

Let's be 100% honest Harris was the right color at the right time and nothing more and it showed 1000%. Her biggest talent was being the right cocksucker at the right place at the right time. That's not going to be enough to run a successful POTUS campaign under anything close to a fair election.


OK..let me ruminate a bit here. This is just me spit-balling how shit will turn out, no facts just my opinion.


The DNC has a massive talent issue. Hillary gutted the party during her time at it's head. There was zero chance she was going to allow some nigger or she-boon to swoop in again and steal Her Turn. If your were not 1000% on Team Hillary then you were out. This had long lasting repercussions. It was Hillary's clean sweep that opened up all the spaces inside the DNC for the DIE brigade to move in. Many talented behind the scenes people were unceremoniously booted out for no other reason then not being 1000% on HRC's team. This left huge gaps in many important area's and we saw the outcome in 2025 where the Harris campaign was blind, deaf and dumb to the average American being 100% focused on the echo chamber they created for themselves.

Ok, so let's set aside Harris for a second and talk about the others.

Newsome - Now if you came to me and said that Gavin wasn't actually human but rather a scientific experiment to create the ultimate democratic politician...I would believe you. His whole life has been politics. He went to the right schools, worked (very briefly) for the right company and then got handed the mayorship of San Francisco...and it went horribly. The 8 years he was mayor the city suffered massive problems, massive deficits and a huge crime spike. But since he's the scion of the most powerful political family since the Kennedy's he "won" the governorship...and how's that going? Oh right, Commiefornia is even more fucked up then ever under Newsome.

Pro's - Newsome's slick, can talk well, knows how to handle interviews and reporters. And he should he's been a Pol all his life. He's pretty, he's easy to sell to the Dem females in the party and he won't fuck up like Harris would.
Con's - He's a Democratic governor from Commiefornia. His history and record is a mess. He flips flops all over the place depending on the trends, he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is and half of the DNC (the proggressive half) hates him for daring to presume he's the nom. And most of his groomers are now out of power thanks to being like 1000 years old, plus what Laura Trump did has put a serious kibosh on the normal cheats the Democrats use to squeek out those "late votes" so he would be in for a real hard run.

All in all Newsome is probably the best bet to tackle Vance or Rubio but for unifying the party...he's fucked. Plus in all history no Dem Commiefornia governor has ever won a PotUS race.

Pritzker - A slimy opportunist who bought his governorship. He thinks his vast fortune can be used to influence the DNC by refilling it's coffers but everyone hates him and Illinois is not exactly a shining example of what a Democratic PotUS would bring...or is it?

Con's - He's fat, comes across as a slimy bastard you wouldn't dare turn your back on. He looks like a pedophile, and may indeed be one, and I bet the skeletons in his closet would give Pol Pot nightmares. If just half the rumors are true old JB is one sick bastard. He's down with the woke agenda at this moment but lately he's been moving centre as he can read the wind blowing.
Pro's - money. He and his family are fucking rich. He can use that money to flood the DNC with his cronies and get what he wants. That's pretty much how he won his governorship. The Dems are broke so he could have big pull if the DNC can't start sourcing large figure donors and fast.

IMHO Pritzker stands no chance. He sure want's it, he thinks he can just buy the Presidency like he bought Illinois but let him ask Bezos's how much money really counts when your standing on the debate stage. Give him 30 seconds in front of Vance or Rubio and he'd lose his temper and go ape-shit. He's too used to being the one in control and would lose it the second the right started calling him a fat pedophile...which ihe probably is.

BootyGay - no chance. The niggers can't stand him and that alone kills his run. He's a faggot whose known for doing nothing during his time in the spotlight aside from kidnapping, buying, adopting twin boys to molest. The base of the party hates him, and if the Progressives are going to push forward a candidate it will be Harris not some rich white dude. You will notice that he's grown a beard, dresses in flannel and drives a pick up truck now. He too sees where the winds are blowing and is going to the centre as fast as he can. His new "aw shucks" accent is the most gay thing about him.

AoC - fucking KEK. Not a chance. She's an airhead whose in way over her head. Chances are she doesn't even win re-election and her campaign finances are more corrupt then even Omar's. She's sitting on the fence atm so no one has moved to have her investigated...yet. She polls well amoung only the Bernie types and can't even draw a crowd in her own district.

Shapiro - A Jew, 'nuff said. Not only does his own party hate him for being a Jew so will most of America. Despite the fact he seems...somewhat decent? His state is doing well, he's not embroiled in any scandals and even some GoP seem to like the guy but I don' think America is ready to put a Jew into the highest office anytime soon.

Waltz - toast, he's not even pretending he's going to run. The Somali fraud scandal put a stake through the heart of his campaign. He will be lucky if he just avoids prison.

Whitmer - not a chance. She's a loud obnoxious female Karen who state is falling apart. (Notice the trend) Whitmer's polling at near zero and she knows it. Will drop out after the first debate shows how shrill and annoying she can be. She has the support of....no one.

My final call?

I think it will be Harris believe it or not.

There will be no primary.

Newsome will drop out for some made up reason because he knows chances are 2028 will be another GoP win (unless the economy tanks, which I don' think it will) and everyone else is a no go from stage one. Harris will win because I think the Progressive wing of the Democrats will win the civil war, they're just more focused and energized then the older Mo-Dems who have lost most of their leading figures to age and the Grim Reaper. So they will push the Super Dem's into a Harris nod or they will split the party and trash any chance of success.

I will say a lot will depend on the 2026 mid-terms. If the Mo-Dems make back big gains they could push the Progressives back a bit and maybe force a "open" (well as open as any Democrat Primary is) primary race but like I said, even though 2025 put the proggies on the back foot, they just want it more. They're fanatics who are more then willing to burn the DNC down if they can't get what they want from it. The Mo-Dems are more realistic and thus more likely to cave into demands rather then just hand an election win to Vance/Rubio.

That's it, sorry for the sperg out.

America is being made great again as we speak, there's no need for a movement to promise something that's already happenning.

The redistricting alone is a death knell to the liberals as they will lose 20% of their seats this midterm, giving Trump the supermajority he needs to accomplish everything.
Call me pessimistic, but even with a supermajority, I can see the GOP continuing to drag their feet on Trump's agenda.

Ah yes. Because democracies have always led to great prosperity and stability and not negligence from politicians, shadow bureaucracy made up of little tyrants, and random retards that are the only ones interested in being as mediocre or shit as possible because they are gonna just spend as little time as possible and give the problems to the next retard. Wow! Stability my ass!

Honestly, the people who genuinely believe that you can vote someone out of the system and not have their ideas still be in place are as delusional as Redditards.
 
That would be a totally different war huh. You think anyone with an IQ above 70 is going to buy that? Having to defend this dumb shit isn't embarrasing to you?
  • Lebanon (1982–1984) The administration argued that U.S. Marines were “not engaged in hostilities” even while under fire, because their mission was “peacekeeping.”
  • Persian Gulf tanker escort operations (1987) Naval clashes with Iran were framed as self‑defense incidents, not “hostilities.”
  • Bosnia (1995) Airstrikes were classified as limited, not “hostilities.”
  • Kosovo (1999) Congress never authorized the operation, but the administration argued:
    U.S. pilots face minimal risk; therefore, this is not “hostilities.”
  • George W. Bush used the loophole for Pakistan drone strikes, Yemen and Somalia
  • Libya (2011)) The administration argued: No ground troops and low risk to U.S. forces, therefore:
    “These operations do not constitute hostilities.”
  • Obama also used similar logic for Syria and multiple drone campaigns
  • Trump 1 used the same structure for: Syria, Iran, Somalia, Yemen and Iraq
  • Biden used it for Syria, Iraq, Somalia, and Red Sea / Houthi Strikes
  • Trump 2: Iran so far

Every administration since the 1980s has used the loophole to keep from declaring war. Only Afghanistan and Iraq were formally authorized by Congress during W's term.
Blame Congress.
Yes, I used AI to research, fuck off.
 
How's your life going besides that $20? Do you have a bulldozer?

Ok this quote actually made my day. However, back to your point: Yes, monetization is the root problem. We do need a solution to the issues that the ad based economy has inflicted upon the entire telecommunications industry since its infancy. However the internet is not a free utility. It needs to be paid for, and I’ll be damned if I let some government or pure corporate solution cover things for me.
 
I think it will be Harris believe it or not.

I want this to happen, 100%, just for the shitshow of everyone and their mother not supporting Harris calling out both the lack of a primary yet again after harping on "saving democracy" for so long, but also that even various progs tend to hate Kamala's guts for being everything from a retard to a "liberal" (IE not commie) to being "pro-Israel", so she won't even have the hard-left vote fully locked.

Because even if they remain de-jure united, such a campaign, and the inevitable loss to the GOP, would genuinely fracture the party behind the scenes as proof in the pudding the DEI/woke crowd won the Dem civil war only to realize what an obnoxious, incompetent minority it truly is in the country. ...and they'll screech and continue to try to play politics anyways, both to the betterment of the country (as normal elections crush them in all but deep blue cities) and entertainment (especially my own) alike.

They’d pick a mega radical for VP to appease the progs. Probably a real fuckup too. Abdul el-Sayed or Graham Platner maybe, since Mamdani is ineligible.

They already picked a mega prog with Walz last time and that was a major fuck up. Any prog they pick will have way too many skeletons in their closet because people are becoming aware at how progressive policy is just a way to facilitate financial and voter fraud. They need a mild youngish white dude on the ticket if they want any hope.
 
In American education news:
Librarian Alex Brown (they/them) details publicly how to eliminate parental and constitutional rights by artificially creating hurdles to have books reviewed for inappropriateness by school boards.
Pretending not to understand in action, presenting that infographic as though people who raise complaints to public education bureaucracies all on their lonesome don't laughed out of the building or get harassed by the FBI or militant freaks. No shit it's rarely lone petitioners. You'd think the retards who crow about worker coops and collective action can remember things they get strident about.
Honestly, the people who genuinely believe that you can vote someone out of the system and not have their ideas still be in place are as delusional as Redditards.
Imagine having to deal with people who smarmily quote George Carlin's "50% of people are dumber than that" bit who then get extremely uncomfortable and indignant when you suggest taking steps to restrict voting and on what grounds people would get disqualified. Universal representation is not tenable and even people afraid of admitting it outright can't help but get smug when it comes to the idea of disenfranchisement.
