wtf is going on at NYT, ffs. is all the money in fact-phobic reactionary hackery these days?
I kind of hate how these lazyass “where did walking fossil x go” articles can still bring in the clicks when it’s pretty fucking obvious where he’s gone. since he’s not in the White House, which is the other place we keep our aspiring undead, he’s home in the Hills, drooling on his felted dressing gown at 3 p.m., just medicated out of time and space, waiting for the reaper’s touch
The Democrats are still stuck in this post-Clinton seniority mindset where they unofficially pick a candidate before primaries even begin, based on who has been around the longest and who has held the highest position. Remember “it’s her turn”? Yes, yes, I know it didn’t work against Obama, but heading into the debates everyone assumed Hillary would be the candidate until Obama put on the better show. More to the point, I think Obama breaking through scared the establishment Dems into doubling down on primary fuckery. See what happened to Bernie, twice. So now we have a president who knows all the right people but plays politics with the 1990s rulebook and has a terminal case of crusty old man voice.
Still better than Trump.

You see, the mistake is thinking that the goal is to protect children. The goal is to punish women for exercising agency. If a woman gets pregnant, there should be a baby. If there isn’t, she’s cheating, and there will be consequences.

Yup, and they’re super proud of this too, since they posted it pretty much anywhere it would be even remotely relevant.
fr. it might have earned an eye roll or a chuckle if it had been a single post to linuxmemes, but the spamming just makes it obnoxious trolling
Republican politicians making excuses for Trump
That’s because it’s not an argument. He’s presupposing the frame that his rabid supporters are going to use, which is he only lost because he was goofing on the sham debate on purpose. He knows that his base is ride or die, and whatever he does on the debate stage isn’t going to change that. He’s explicitly giving them the line to use.
So Palestine. We’re doing the Palestine argument again. What if I told you that support for Israel has been so baked into our foreign policy since its inception that no president alone can go against it without incurring the wrath of a neoliberal horde? Is Palestine suddenly the one issue that’s worth committing political suicide over, just to make way for a worse, actual fascist autocrat who would be bff with Netanyahu while he erases the Palestinian people? I think Biden is shitty on Palestine, but I also think he’s in a terrible spot and he’s doing what he thinks he can against decades of foreign policy. The other guy would be shitposting on Truth Social about sending bombs to Palestinian children for Christmas.
