I don’t know about where you live, but here there’s thousands of different cuisine trucks. Burger trucks, Indian, Portuguese, pasta, Korean, baked potatoes, etc.

But he held a rainbow flag once!

In some ways it is potentially happening, but this is definitely not the timeline he had in mind, and you could blame macro trends like the rise of China instead.

If Bin Laden hadn’t done anything, millions in the Middle East wouldn’t have been killed, and the US would still be on its current trajectory.

Essentially blowback for decades of US military adventurism in the region. Bin Laden’s theory was that an attack that’s big enough would cause the US government to overreact and overreach, imploding the American Empire because Americans wouldn’t accept their civil liberties being taken away and Americans coming back from abroad in coffins.

Obviously Bin Laden was wrong about how much Americans would just be ok with everything the government ended up doing, and didn’t achieve his stated goal.

They still don’t really know why 9/11 happened, they still believe the ‘they hate us for our freedoms’ line.

Yep, I guess he just needs to run for President and then killing healthcare CEOs is an official act and legal, according to the Supreme Court.

There’s a few billionaires in New York who might want to take a shot at him?

Last time they gave a few $1000 that expired after a few years. They’ll probably do something similar again.

Trump changed fort Bragg back to its old name, although officially it’s not named after that Bragg this time.

Note that I used the past tense for a reason. It’s not a lie, they just became fascists.

Which is a shame for what was the party of Lincoln that literally fought for abolition.

Liz Cheney is a metaphor for their continued attempts of trying to convince Republicans to switch instead of getting the traditional base out. No Republicans switched to Democrats because they never do, and a whole bunch of traditional constituencies sat out the election because it looked like whether you voted for Democrats or Republicans, you ended up with Republican policies either way.

It’s always been the case that the Democratic voters need to be excited, while Republicans basically just go to every election and vote the same way (Trump being an exception who managed to get some traditional non-voters to go to the polls in addition to that). If the leadership of the Democratic party chose to keep doubling down on the strategy of going after the mythical antifascist Republican voters for multiple elections, failing every time, that’s not due to the voters, or the ‘left’, that’s entirely the fault of leadership.

I was talking about the killing of babies that were already born in Gaza, but ok.

Did their polling tell them to go around the country with Liz Cheney? Did their polling tell them to have a giant rally in Texas? Did their polling tell them to piss off the Teamsters? They either didn’t want to win, or they’re incompetent, and they need to start looking at themselves instead of blaming the voters they didn’t get.

Realistically Trump is a terrible candidate, and they now lost 2 out of 3 elections to him because they want to run as Republicans light instead of appealing to their traditional base of labour.

Seems like continuing to kill babies was more important than getting elected for Democrats. They had the polling on the issue and chose to continue doing it.

Print yours at home!

A Trump policy I actually agree with? Didn’t expect that one, he’s going to be pissing off a lot of senators with that.

He’s had shitty cards this whole time, but he played them as well as you could reasonably expect. In the past he’s been able to placate Trump, but I guess now his ask was just too big. Now he basically has to hope Europe continues support (at least for long enough to have a deal that doesn’t completely split the country).

Presumably not all roads were built with federal funds, can’t they just block off those ones and continue congestion pricing for the remainder?

Although they’d need to get a mayor who can’t be blackmailed first.

Nice
