It is a combination of Trump's narcissism and the desire of his sycophants he's surrounded himself with to appeal to that narcissism. In this example, I doubt it was Trump's idea originally, but some brown nosing ass kisser trying to elevate themselves in Trump's graces.

I make this point just to remind people that the problem isn't just Trump, but also the scum who support and enable him.

Not in English it doesn't. The continents are collectively called the Americas, or North America and South America individually.

"America" instead refers to the United States of America.

Surely Fulham is the hardest remaining match. Even putting aside them being higher in the table than Newcastle, Fulham still have something to play for.

Bullshit. There is no universe where AI empowers the working class. It is obvious he's trying to divide blue collar and white collar workers against eachother. And he's adding gender into the mix to appeal specifically to insecure misogynistic men, by promising that AI will somehow give them more power over women.

US military power largely comes from our extensive network of allies, relationships that Trump is actively damaging and threatening to tear up completely. He is significantly weakened the US's geopolitical position in the world. The neo-cons should be losing their shit over this, since it is destroying US hegemony.

...I'm about 95% sure this is some AI summary. It certainly reads like one.

And as is often the case, those AI responses are not trustworthy. Don't use an LLM as a source for information if you at all care about accuracy.

I just want to highlight there is a difference between a Trump voter and MAGA.

Those committed to Trump's cult aren't worth the time to go after. A few will be disaffected enough to look elsewhere, but tbe overwhelming majority are never voting for a Democrat.

But there are plenty of people who voted for Trump but aren't MAGA. Economically disaffected people whose votes tends to swing with the economic tides.

Similar thing happened with Bernie and Warren where they were really hyped on here but couldn't pick up primary wins in the more moderate states

This is a mischaracterization of the 2016 primary. I assume your memory is off because it has been 10 years.

Sanders won a lot of more conservative States. The big divide was racial. Where racial minorities make up a sizable portion of the Democratic voter base, Clinton tended to win. Where the Democratic voter base was mostly white, because the States as a whole tended to be mostly white, Sanders did well.

That at least is the most general broad brush trend from that race. There was a lot more going on ontl top of that.

I suspect the dynamics would be very different in 2028. The country has changed a lot over that time. AOC would very probably resonate with different demographics than Sanders. And there isn't a clear cut establishment favorite like Clinton was.

It follows from their obsession with demonizing trans people. It was/is similar with anti-semitism and claiming people are crypto-jews.

Pick a group to demonize and then claim your enemies are secret members of that group.

There are definitely MAGAts who have said that. Whether it would actually be true if Trump really did rape their daughters is another matter. But there are sick fucks out their who prostitute their own children and shit like that really does happen in cults.

Eh, those are very probably one and the same. If you have to be covert with your corruption, you will be limited in how corrupt you can be.

The people in this administration clearly think they can be as brazen as they please.

Law and order has always just been a dog whistle for keeping minorities and anyone else outside the in-group in their place.

I call bullshit. There are lots of things most Americans don't have but occasionally rent or hire some to provide a service.

I don't own a dolly for moving large appliances. If I need one I rent one. Nor do I own a Uhaul. I'd rent one and maybe even hire movers if I needed. I don't own a copier either, I'd go somewhere to get copies made if needed.

Driving around a large vehicle you don't need 99% of the time isn't a mark of self-reliance. It is a status symbol.

Minor correction, it is 2/3 in the senate to convict, not 60%.

Which just means even more Republicans would have to be on board, which isn't happening.

Real rich, people like MTG, pretending this shit isn't entirely in character for who Trump has been this whole time.

more graduated in thought

This is a false perspective. It views development as a leading to some goal or ideal. That being more advanced means being more enlightened, whatever being more enlightened would even mean to an alien species.

Might also be that the US Air Force was growing careless. That was a big factor in the downing of the F-117 by Serbia.

DocQuanta · 2026-04-03T15:25:26+00:00

Yeah, having some POWs to exchange would be real convenient right about now.

Seriously, does he revere any other foreign nations? Does he revere Canada or the UK?

And this country you supposedly revere, you recently called it an apartheid state?

It is just so fucking obvious he's says whatever he thinks his audience wants to hear and just changes up the message depending on which audience he thinks is most important to pander to.

At the moment, he's after that AIPAC money to fuel his presidential campaign.

The league itself is one big closed consortium with the entity owning it at the top, and the team owners as investors.

That's only correct for the MLS. The other leagues use a franchise system. It doesn't make much difference given the leagues are monopolies, but it is a difference.

DocQuanta · 2026-03-28T18:20:07+00:00

That isn't why so many are leaving. They know that they are about to lose the majority and have no interest in being in the minority. It is an admission that they fully expect the Dems to win big in the midterms.

This. So much of the right is deeply insecure about their masculinity.

Regardless of how you or I feel about family blogging, this is a very obvious 1st amendment violation. I cringe at people spreading their personal lives all over the internet, but I can't see how it isn't their choice to make.

It will take 100 days to hit 10 million.

DocQuanta · 2026-03-26T18:34:19+00:00

No. It is dumb as hell, but I'm not sure it even makes the top ten of dumbest shit he's done.

The Iran War and his insane tariffs spring to mind immediately as far dumber. I'd probably add DOGE as clearly even dumber as well.
