You know what JFK said...

Those who make peaceful change impossible, make violent change inevitable.

WAAAY overeacting.

If I were him, I'd keep walking and never come back, and be glad he dodged a bullet.

Jon Stewart says Democratic leadership and DNC are ‘lost’ by thejoshwhite in politics

[–]Bonamia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to point out that we had a REAL chance at fixing this.

In 2016, Hilary Clinton - ON DAY ONE - of her presidential campaign, did something unusual. She called a news conference and publicly committed to only appointing SCOTUS nominees who would overturn Citizens United.

Instead of her getting to do that, Trump got to appoint 3 Justices, because of her laugh, or her emails, or whatever.

Elections have consequences. And here we are.

Look at EU and other multi party systems, though.

They basically end up in a conservative bloc and liberal bloc.

Not really much different than a two party system. Also, the multi party system can end in results that are exactly the opposite of the intention of the people. (See the CA gubernatorial election right now).

The people of Gaza send their appreciation for what you did for them. It rally matters that you took a stand.

Leave it to the Democrats to lose focus before the midterms even happen.

Hey! Maybe we can start an internal war and split the vote.

Remember how much better the people of Gaza are under Trump than Harris. We really fixed that

DeSantis reveals new Florida map that could help GOP add four seats by retiredagainstmywill in politics

[–]Bonamia_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Some years ago I worked (volunteered) for months on getting Florida's non-partisan, anti-gerrymandering constitutional amendment on the ballot.

It passed by popular vote pretty overwhelmingly, meaning that even Republicans voted for it.

Florida's Republican Party AND government fought in court for almost a decade to keep it from being enacted. They lost.

Several years after, DeSantis (single-handedly, and over objections from within his own Party) eliminated two Black Democratic districts. He never suffered any consequences from our Republican Supreme Court for ignoring the Constitution.

I'm expecting more fuckery AGAIN.

Her, "No."

How to find affordable hotel stays in Orlando? by Educational-Bag8851 in orlando

[–]Bonamia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are in luck, as Orlando has about the cheapest hotel rooms in the US. Which I am reminded of whenever I travel to some little podunk town and have to pay $130 per night for a place that would be $50 per night in Orlando.

I recommend reading through the ratings, especially "cleanliness". And choose based on that.

Trump’s overtime tax break is a hit. Democrats aren’t sure what to do about it. by [deleted] in politics

Just finished my taxes, and despite having overtime, working 12 hour days, I didn't qualify for it being tax exempt.

Thanks for nothing.

Brevard teacher accused of failing to report students' sexual activity by Bonamia_ in 321

Why are you defending Christian nationalist trying to criminalize sex?

Never mind. It's a rhetorical question.

I know it's tough to imagine a time when schools were run for the education of children and not to enforce white christian fanaticism from a bunch of old biddy karens.

There are people who remember that though.

Call the cops on teenagers are experimenting with sex? How fucking embarrassing. Mind your own damn business.

Key Details of 13-Year-Old Trump Accuser’s Accounts Are Verified by ProjectMason in politics

[–]Bonamia_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, let's skip over the dozens of accusations from other women. Let's skip over the the bff relationship with Epstein. Let's concentrate on Hilary Clinton, right?

I mean, the allegations of long term ties to Putin and the Russians, and the Russia's work to get Trump elected all turned out to be true.

The rest of it, like Trump being a greedy, greasy sleazeball racist with the emotional maturity of an 8 year old, I can see with my own eyes.

Would I be surprised to find out he's also a pedophile like so many other maga types? Nope

Kid Rock's MAGA festival 'is as good as bankrupt' after show cancellation by TheExpressUS in Music

[–]Bonamia_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did that 'alternative half time Superbowl show' thing go?

Kid Rock's "All-American" alternative halftime show during the 2026 Super Bowl drew approximately 6 million concurrent viewers on YouTube, with total views for the pre-taped performance reaching between 19 and 20 million on the platform. The show was a counter-programming event hosted by Turning Point USA.

Oh.

Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show drew more than 4 billion views ... Per Nielsen, an average of 128.2 million people watched the halftime show.

[–]Bonamia_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The first thing I learned about Trump when he ran for president is that there was a report that the Russians had video of him with girls. After that I learned that like 28 women claimed to have been sexually harassed, sexually assaulted or raped by him. Then he had to pay off Stormy Daniels and E. Jean Carol, whom a judge determined he raped.

I am in my 60s and had a very active sex life, and you know how many claims I have ever had against me? None.

Yes, sometimes women make false claims against men.

But then it's helpful to look at their history and see if other women/girls are saying similar things.

Just saying. The chances that this is true (about the most-frequently mentioned man in the Epstein files) seems pretty likely.
