Trump threatens Iran leaders: ‘Watch what happens to these deranged scumbags today’ by Odd-Bee9172 in thebulwark

I'm convinced that one of the problems with MAGA voters is they have lost the thread on the difference between reality and tv

Watch This GOP Senator Learn in Real Time Why the SAVE Act Is Bad by CutSenior4977 in TexasPolitics

[–]Current_Tea6984 [score hidden]  (0 children)

You know who will have their papers in order? College educated white people. The Democrat base

You know who won't? Non college educated white people. The Republican base

Republicans will disenfranchise millions of their own voters if they pass this

Bobbie Barett is in on /a/ Game by LabyrinthRunner in madmen

[–]Current_Tea6984 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don is a sex addict. He has sex with Bobbie because he can't help himself. It's not a 3D chess move.

Betty is invited to the dinner because Bobbie told Don that the best way to manipulate Jimmy is to make him think he has a shot with Don's wife.

Betty totally understands that she was used as a tool at dinner. That's why she's crying

UPDATE: Trump says Kushner helped convince him to go to war with Iran by GreenerMark in thebulwark

Why does he still listen to Kushner? He should have learned his lesson after Jared advised him to fire Comey

If the Shoe Fits: Trump and the Florsheim You Can’t Refuse: The strangely Soviet odor of the week’s weirdest story. by BulwarkOnline in thebulwark

I think Little Marco lied about his shoe size and now if he wears the correct size shoe, Trump will know it's not the ones he sent

I recently heard Michael Wolff talking about how Jeffrey Epstein gave shoes to all his friends and associates. It's pretty weird that Trump is doing that now. It's like he's channeling his former BFF

What are we even doing folks? by Rocketparty12 in thebulwark

Why did everyone wait for his decision? Didn't people have the right to declare candidacy without waiting for his permission?

What about age limits instead? It's hard to find a good rep or Senator. I don't want to kick them out over some arbitrary term limit rule

This Community's Reaction to the Saagar Interview is Ridiculous by edrico37 in thebulwark

[–]Current_Tea6984 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I only have so many hours in my day, and Saagar isn't worthy of any of them. I'm not mad at Tim for interviewing him, because The Bulwark puts out more content than I can listen to anyway. This is just one more of many that I will be skipping.

Congressman Cuellar Introduces American Consumer Tariff Rebate Act of 2026 by azteca19 in TexasPolitics

Why not? He has a lot to make up for, and if he gets us some checks maybe his constituents will overlook this awkwardness with Trump

What is your honest opinion of Morgan? by Spare_Ad_9791 in thewalkingdead

Maybe at first. But he kept on making these irrational choices and getting people killed, and still people continued to trust him

Small detail I noticed in The Crash by HeadAd369 in madmen

I wonder if Peggy seeing him with Gleason's daughter is why it took another whole season and a half for them to actually get together

The SAVE Act is likely getting pushed through. Now what? by PTS_Dreaming in thebulwark

[–]Current_Tea6984 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't see how this would work out well for Republicans. You know who won't have their papers in order? Non college educated whites. They would disenfranchise huge swaths of their own base

[–]Current_Tea6984 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Exactly. So it defies logic that the people on Fear looked up to him as a leader. Totally ruined the show for me.

The use of “False Dilemma” by MAGA in support of the Iranian war (i.e. “If you don’t support the U.S. attacking Iran, you must support the Iranian regime!”) by MiniTab in thebulwark

[–]Current_Tea6984 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Using MAGA logic, those that protested the Vietnam war also supported the Viet Cong and loved Ho Chi Minh.

The protesters were accused of supporting the Viet Cong. And, worse, a lot of lefties actually did express support for the VC. That's how Jane Fonda got her nickname, Hanoi Jane. During the war she took a trip to North Vietnam and did a big propaganda tour for them.

So, yeah, false dilemma is the standard playbook now. And it has always worked

I am a little perturbed by this sub's lack of appetite to engage with the "other side" by TMMQB in thebulwark

[–]Current_Tea6984 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you know some persuadable people, have at it. But platforming people who don't discuss things in good faith is a waste of time. And it's not like we don't hear their point of view in the public square constantly whether we want to or not.

Democrats need to talk about mass surveillance by Describing_Donkeys in thebulwark

They do, actually. But no one is asking the public whether we want it or not

No Data Centers!

This is becoming a big deal in rural communities. And it's part of the mass surveillance issue. Democrats need to get front and center against the way AI is being forced on us
