"Narrow-striped mongooses1 are diurnal, foraging in the top soil for invertebrates, bird and reptile eggs, insect larvae, worms, snails and the like." So; not the sort of mongoose you'd want to protect yourself from cobras?
You've reminded me of a video short done by zookeepers at some zoo or another (maybe Dallas, I forget), where they talk about noseblindness being an important part of the job. I'm betting that almost all our zoo friends are pretty stinky, TBH.
In the event Kamala Harris chooses to run again in 2028 I will vigorously support her. Harris was ROBBED of a victory secondary to the vicious defamamtion made by the far-Reich and US media. I'm still pissed off about it.
And I also hope to celebrate the victory of President Pritzger before I draw my last breath as well.
There’s no question 2024 was massively affected by the media going all in on Trump.
But there’s also no question that there exists a segment of the population which might vote for the Democratic candidate unless that candidate is a woman or multiracial.
In a fair fight I’d like to see Secretary Pete as nominee. But it’s not a fair fight, and I fear America isn’t ready to elect a gay man at this time. I have the same concerns about a multiracial female candidate.
It’s possible the Republicans will have fucked up so badly that it shouldn’t matter. Even if it’s true, the mainstream media will blame Democrats for everything that’s wrong in 2028 if Democrats take back one or both sides of the legislative branch.
Democrats winning in 2028 might be the last chance for America. With four more years and potentially 7 or more Supreme Court justices, Republicans have a scary probability of never relinquishing power if they have four more years.
My hope is that a Democrat emerges who isn’t a member of any group / category / imaginary secret cabal that can win in 2028. Because it may well be the last chance for democracy.
I do not think Kamala Harris should run again. For one thing, if she does get a nomination, an incredible amount of the election conversation is going to be about whether she should be running or not. The other economic and political issues are going to come second. But the main reason for me is that she simply disappeared after the election. The Democratic party was on life support and in dire need of leadership. And when she did come out in public many months later, her first discussion about the election was what everyone else did wrong. Of course, there was enough blame to go around to last for generations - but instead of a rehash really we needed some inspiration and a plan to move forward. Eventually, the Democrats did begin to come together in a lot of ways. The recent refusal to fund DHS was good, and several excellent new candidates have emerged. But for me, Harris in the aftermath was very disappointing.
I'd be fine with Kamala Harris as President. You could argue her 2024 loss was due in part to the party pulling a switcheroo with Biden late in the campaign, among other things. But .. she lost every single swing state, running against the worst President in U.S. history. Personally, I'd rather take my chances with someone else at the top of the ticket.
No. Kamala should not run. If the Democratic party does not run a progressive populist, they will lose again. Frankly, if they continue against all advice and sentiment to run moderates and mainstream liberals to the exclusion of progressives they deserve to lose.
Trouncing Republicans and their flavor of conservatism is the only way forward. Namby-pamby Democratice leaders might deserve the loss, but the rest of us do not.
I'm tired of having to vote for 'Republican-lite' Democrats but I'll keep doing it because they're still better that actual Republicans. Even more so now that Republicans all seem to have gone insane.
Trump is not a result of the success of the Republicans and Conservative philosophy. Trump is the result of the failure of the Democratic Party and Liberal philosophy.
We'd be better off living through the fascism and going socialist than continuing to feed the beast with liberalism's weakness and failures.
I checked my public email this morning where I occasionally get spam from Trump and Republicans, since I've used that address as a contact when contacting by corrupt GOPer Congresscritters.
I got a spam promoting Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise, and Thanksgiving that will be held at the National Mall on May 17. It's scheduled as a 12 hour event and organized by some grifting evangelicals associated with Trump.
The interesting thing is that it has link to RSVP, which takes you to the Trump-Vance 2026 campaign site to gather your personal info to register for the event (and more scams) and solicit donations to the Trump campaign.
No, Shapiro is the guy who can't satisfy his doctor wife and bought a piece of wood from a hardware store to prove what a manly man he was. Richard Spencer is the Nazi who got punched. I watched that video so many times.
I'm not sure. But, to be fair, if someone punched Shapiro in the head, it wouldn't do any damage since there's really nothing there except a tiny lizard brain.
After a couple of decades of grifting people who lose millions, why do people keep giving this criminal money? I think THEY are the ones with trump derangement syndrome,

I love playing with my mommy.

Fortunately, there are no cobras in Madagascar.
Did the mongooses eat them all?
St. Patrick cleared them out.
I find it okey dokey
And certainly good news
That a baby boky-boky
Is at the Berlin Zoo.
It's really very fortunate
There's only one of these

The usage of "mongeese".
Very cute, but I bet they're stinky!
Human babies can be pretty stinky too.

They're not mustelids, like mink, ferrets, and weasels, but I'll bet they stink to high heaven.
You can hear the baby from here say "Mooooom, Mooooooom!" I hope all the types of Mommies here in the Wonketariat had a wonderful day yesterday.
Momgooses her pupgoose!
That's a tiger?
CAMEL!
Try saying "baby boky-boky" three times fast.

Yes, yes, and yes.

Trump, no weapons, or both?
Is Pritzker going to run? I mean, probably yes. Also, that's still far away. We've got this year to get through first.

The idea of a candidate losing in a presidential election and then running in the next is not normal. We didn't do that for a reason.
Ahem. The word 'architect' or 'architecture' used as a FUCKING VERB??? 'Architechted'??? Fucking NO.
I feel like they really buried the fact that *Ben Shapiro has his own line of scented candles* in that story about The Daily Wire.

So, you're saying if she runs, wins the primary, you won't vote for her. Got it.
I live in Massachusetts. I can vote for anyone and the Democrat will win. If they don't run a progressive Ill vote Socialist or something.
I remember people saying they didn’t need to vote for Hillary because she was going to win anyway.
She won Massachusetts easily. You understand how the electoral system works right?

Is Shapiro the Nazi that got punched in the head? And if not, why not!
No, Shapiro is the guy who can't satisfy his doctor wife and bought a piece of wood from a hardware store to prove what a manly man he was. Richard Spencer is the Nazi who got punched. I watched that video so many times.
No, he's the one who can't arouse his physician wife.
I'm not sure. But, to be fair, if someone punched Shapiro in the head, it wouldn't do any damage since there's really nothing there except a tiny lizard brain.
Reptilian hive mind.
That hantavirus ship will probably need to be nuked from orbit. I blame lack of cats!
Recommend Noah Berlatsky telling people like Amy Klobuchar that we need to fight like hell to defend people’s vote.
Not shrug and say something that is completely divorced from the present fascist threat we should be opposing in every conceivable way.

Womp womp. They knew he was a con man but gave him their money anyway.
I used to feel sorry for people who got suckered but since MAGA, NOPE.
