Which begs the question: Can you freeze children now? I mean, you want a vacation (read: sexcapade) just with your wife, no having to take care of brats and stand their moronic chants in the car, you should now be able to freeze the little fuckers. People are people!

scotus decided unanimously that it's not up to the states to remove candidates from a federal ballot
i think this is correct, and that has nothing to do with the odious orange blob, may he rot the thing is we can't have texass decide to remove biden from the ballot because texass, etc |

She took enough back-handers to retire on, I presume.

but her retirement makes me fear for arizona. kari fucking lake now has the door open again. and i don't know how lefty is gallego, but arizona is far from a progressive place. actually i thought sinema was a good fit for that population. yes, she and manchin declawed parts of bidenomics, but without those parts inflation is already causing trouble, and the fiscal prospect looks uncomfortable if the growth does not follow. with the full 5 trillion the rest of the democratic senate wanted... i don't know where we'd be. awash in devalued money maybe? it was an enormous gamble on growth, and industrial policies are never guaranteed (ask france) anyway we'll have to see what happens next, for me it's just a guess. if democrats overreach the backlash could spell doom. fascists feed on resistance to leftist excesses. please note i don't judge these as "excesses" from my point of view, but rather from the point of view of what the average population of a place is accustomed to think and experience (in this case, center-right arizona) remember how the tea party appeared in reaction to obamacare, meaning federal romneycare, originally actually nixoncare, i.e., the swiss model lite? (no jail here). universal health insurance is far from excessive for me, but for people who are used to winging it on their own, like moe tucker.... it was a big shock that reeked of "socialism" see: https://web.archive.org/web/20101022...ound_video.php (some comments are great at explaining the general stupidity of her position btw. but also she scores some good points. i mean jsut because she bangs drums it doesn't mean she has to be non-mainstream in some areas. she's very mainstream here. but anyway... what people are accustomed to do, how they react when things change, etc, still applies. yeah, so, sinema was a good fit for arizona i thought. and how are we going to pay for all things? growth maybe, if it happens, but it's still a big gamble: Warnings from history for a new era of industrial policy https://www.economist.com/finance-an...ustrial-policy from The Economist ) |

She’s a complete and total piece of shit, but I do wish some people from the far left would take a page from her book and just go in with the idea of being one and done and cram as much shit down peoples throat as they can. Stop worrying about getting reelected. Make a significant dent and get the fuck out.

My home country is quietly becoming a dictatorship again. I was born in a dictatorship and might die in one too.

compared to an ideal politician, in an ideal country, maybe she is but compared to kari lake, one of her actual alternatives, she's fucking amazing kari lake is the complete and total piece of shit in this scenario. look her up. that one has no redeeming qualities or sane political positions whatsoever and arizonans could elect her... shudder Quote:
but after they get the fuck out, their works gets undone. americans are very right wing compared to other peoples. if there is no political culture to support these things they just don't survive take the fate of the cfpb for example. even with elizabeth warren still in congress it's always on the verge of getting dismantled. and it will continue to be a target of republican administrations until they are done strangling it obamacare also continues to be a target. instead of improving it, republicans are trying to kill it altogether or take roe v wade. killed after 50 years of rabid resistance. it never took hold in some sectors and it was a rallying point of the religious right ... perhaps the country is too big to agree on much |

uncle joe did good yesterday! i didnt watch the whole speech but yeah. very lucid, and way saner than covfefe. i feel encouraged by this and do not fear the polls.
also i don't care for purity tests. we face a simple binary choice in this federal election. this isn't a school board or city council where you can vote for a fringe candidate and see what happens. but i am glad that michigan voters spoke clearly in the primary, and i think they've been heard. regardless of who started what and when, and who is who's ally, religions, and political alignments, etc etc... mass starvation of civilians cannot be allowed. there have to be limits to any war. let the humanitarian aid flow. so what if it required voter pressure--that's how democracy works. thanks, michigan ... re: pain in our times: epicureanism and stoicism (with 21st century updates) continue to be the available individual responses to unpleasant times that i can see honestly working. and even though the epicurean garden can be destroyed, it can also be relocated nowadays, to escape destruction. for collective response (which epicureanism avoids), stoicism can blend well with politics. i like to combine them pragmatically. there is no need to be monotheistic and faithful, so to speak. it's a bad mental habit. well, two habits: monotheism, and faith. like the proverbial person with just a hammer, but with added stubbborness we live in dangerous times, no question. it's not that we're in a bad situation in itself, overall. all times are dangerous. and in some sense, we are close to the peak of civilization. but the risk looks enormous (it's a very hard fall when you're riding high). there are plenty of doom prophets out there, but i'm not one of them. i think disaster can be prevented, or mitigated, or weathered, if we do the right thing (these are degrees of handling). it's just never over. reality is an infinite game. --- eta nonfarm payrolls released this morning looked better than expected but last month's figures were revised downward so the us economy keeps doing well, basically, but not explosively well, so the soft landing (?) is in sight consistent with powell's testimony yesterday. rate cuts might be possible in june. here's hoping, because a no-landing would create problems. inflation must be tamed, or everyone loses |
