Gavin Newsom becoming Bernie Sander with the exception trans right is going to be fascinating to watch.

Mamdani's policies may be radical, but his vibe is "corporate Democrat" and the type of guy who'd work with the establishment insiders.

That’s an overload of superficial projection.

The “reason” of people like Bill Maher, or Sam Harris certainly isn’t sufficiently rigorous, objective, or conclusive by any serious standard. I think I’m being generous actually. They just double down on assumptions and premises that they refuse to consider as false or questionable, and they depend on unarticulated emotion and the ironic threat of controversy and a dubious set of insidious double standards to try to silence decent. When they claim to be reasonable, it really means agreeable, and non-contrarian from their world-view. So long as they maintain that pretense, they expect social conformity to their platform from any who share enough of their philosophy, or might try to challenge that social hegemony. They make political claims, while claiming them to be reasonable, because they are political (I’ve explained how my posts are different).
But like religion, and human (or Homo Sapien) nature, more generally, they try to shift the burden of proof where it doesn’t belong, and don’t feel required to sufficiently support, or have rigorous enough reasons or conclusions. They explicitly intend to argue in a way, and for a purpose, that is subject essentially to “begging the question”; they have verbalized that their goal is to support their predetermined and desired conclusions, rather than seeking truthful answers regardless. I mean specifically Bill Maher, Sam Harris, and people like them (similar criticisms could be made of others, but not this entire political phenomenon). I don’t mean all “new atheists” or all skeptics or secularists (I don’t subscribe to the label “atheist” because it has no positive, affirmative, or tangible definition of substance or meaning).

Musk plans to primary all the Republicans who voted for Trump’s bill. However long it takes, Trump’s Republican Party is beginning to come to an end.

There is a very real chance we don’t have an election in 2026 or at least one independently ran apart from Trump controlling the election.

Meanwhile Florida got done building a concentration camp for immigrants.

Not sure when people will realize we live in a fascist dictatorship. Like it is too late. Congress has never once defied Trump abdicating their role even if it meant nominating a Fox TV show host as the head of the Pentagon. And now the Supreme Court ruled that lower courts can’t block unconstitutional executive orders at a national level allowing Trump to blatantly violate the constitution (you literally cannot end birthright citizenship without another amendment to the constitution) as long as it doesn’t work its way up the court system to the Supreme Court (they can chose to delay a ruling for quite a while by keeping it circulating around in the lower courts. Trump can now use the National Guard to override the sovereignty of the States against the Executive Branches’s will. Now we have concentration camps to round up immigrants without due process so the administration can declare whoever they want as an illegal and put then in these concentration camp as long as they want.

It's a good thing I was assured that republicans are the fiscally responsible party and would never pass anything like Build Back Better. They would never inflate the national debt because it is so important that we keep it down.

I really think it is time for the Whig Party to come back

He is helping Mamdani by talking about him.

It’s hard for me to see the Democrats winning without a charismatic progressive at the top of the ticket. I think it is time for the Whig party as a real alternative

Zwack, did you read that Laura Loomer suggested feeding the entirety of the Latino population in the Us to alligators?

No i didn’t see that, but she seems pretty fringe to me.
