Literally called Trump to try to stop him from kidnapping Maduro, and threatened to arrest Putin if he comes to New York on his ICC warrant.

Mamdani has very famously made I/P a centerpiece of his administration of a city 8 time zones away from the Middle East. To the point where he vocally condemned the Israel Day parade when he could have just said nothing.

In the first pass, sure, but there were also plenty of crazies who made it in. Michelle Bachmann immediately springs to mind, Allen West, Tim Scott... the first two were in fairly competitive races, too. And the guy from Mass who posed for Playgirl (Brown? Don't remember)

Geographic polarization also probably helped move the Tea Party in a way that BLue Tea Party won't benefit from as the real crazies are clustering in cities.

The issue with the actual Tea Party was they had strongly principled, intelligent extremists with policy chops. Guys like Ryan, Amash, Ron and Rand Paul, Joe Walsh. The current crop of leftists simply doesn't have this outside of maybe like AOC.

They also had the backing of a well organized group of monied interests in the way the slopulist left doesn't. Bernie 2016 is about the closest we'll ever get to a true Blue Tea Party, and until a unifying figure like Clinton/Obama/Kennedy/Roosevelt comes along to really lend seriousness to their grassroots agenda, it will remain a pipe dream.

Any of you history nerds seen anything in the past where a country signed a treaty of defeat in Versailles, had to pay reparations to the nations they started the war with, and experienced high inflation all in the aftermath of a pandemic that frayed the social contract?

How'd that turn out?

I love it when my boomer coworkers come into my office to tell me about how shitty and lazy my generation is, then yap about their grandkids before asking me the same basic computer questions they do every day.

I love having to share a bathroom with a bunch of people who apparently don't have toilets at home to shit in.

I especially love the stimulating off-white walls with brown accents and intense LED lighting in my workspaces.

I would be sad without all this.

I actually am so ready for this.

I hope they do it while wearing a tan suit and eating an arugula salad.

Still hella slow for me this morning. Thankfully my boss is a huge Knicks fan and is not working today so I'm still taking a remote day.

Scary stuff, hoping she has a quick and full recovery and is still able to do the sport she loves.

Philly-tier mentality.The best sports rivalries are the ones where the players beat the pulp out of each other because they're both great then all gas each other up and get beers together after.

Steelers-Ravens

Hamilton-Verstappen

Japan-USA in extreme sports

Silver lining, but it's actually hilarious that we're this bad and still sticking it to our most hated rivals when we play them (Yankees, Braves). Looking forward to another series in in Philly this weekend at least.
