So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.
Imagine Steve Bannon as Iron Man. He's got some issues that he needs to work through. What he has is a large vat of lube, like you can buy forty five gallons of online, like some genius did to the stupid dildo militia where tarp fuck, LaVoy Finecum got himself shot.
Anyway, think of Bannon. Hang on I'm still laughing at Finecum. What a stupid fuck. Right, Bannon mid-arm deep in a bucket of lube because he's going to punch-fuck Stephen Miller, who yells "DONALD" every time Bannon gets more than wrist deep.
Karoline Leavitt is watching closely, like bent over and really has her face inches away from the action. Every time Dear Leader's name issues forth from Miller's lips, she straightens up and yells "SCORE" with her hand thrust in the air as a Nazi salute.
I don't see a distinction between Rs and Magas. Maga is simply louder and more visible than these so called Rs. They vote for the same things in the end. One likes to hide it one doesn't. No matter how you slice it they vote for the same things.
Was going back and forth with a 'libertarian' last week. He kept trying to tell me he isn't a rwnj yet he supports their agenda. I said we vote our values and you vote and value the rwnj agenda.
He went on in several paragraphs explaining why. I asked who are you trying to convince me or you. He went on to say he was married, kids, grandkids, etc. WTF does that have to do with anything?

Hakeem is a gut punch. Praising Addam's courage? For what? Using his office to enrich himself?
Much courage!
How much money is flowing from PACs to Hakeem and Fuck Chuck to not endorse Zohran Mamdani?
I look forward to AOC taking Chucks seat and telling all those PAC's to get bent.
I'd call them jellyfish, but at least jellyfish will sting prey and defend themselves.
Move them together to a waterfront condo in Florida where they can “reach out” and “dialogue” with the ever-rising tide.

That’s it! Can’t have her eating crackers in bed.
Yeah, but also the standard AI six tits.
"Audiences love tits, more tits=bigger box office!"
"Ah! She's back in town, eh?"
Given everything else 'AI', this will be terrible. And that agency is just looking for cheap publicity (which it got).
So they want the poor digital thing to have sex with the ultra honky muppet from SNL?

Old Boyfriend and I for some reason found that line hysterical in the moment, and took to shouting it apropos of nothing for years after.
He’s still a disturbed asshole (old boyfriend) but he could be very funny in odd ways. Mostly timing.

yeah but they got one neat trick to bump those numbers. Just blow up random boats in international waters and call them drug runners.
Yes, but every single person ICE has captured and deported was a Venezuelan drug lord.
Apparently. I’ve heard. Many people are saying.
Shades of Joe Arpaio (who allowed rates of drug and violent crimes to skyrocket while he fixated on 'illegals').
In some cases, this is also true for software creation. There are cases where AI is not saving time, but costing more time.

Wait, you're saying that VCs are way over optimistic about tech and its value to the world?! I think I may need to sit down.
I still giggle over the dude who ordered 18000 waters at the drive through bot
Its general knowledge in the start-up world that VC's don't understand much.
If they did they'd be founding companies.
See: Elon Musk.
The only successful start-up hes founded is one he has almost nothing to do with running. SpaceX.
