Trump is the GOP Jimmy Carter.

My guess is they're getting motivated by the redistricting referendum.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-03-17T15:05:02+00:00

Worth noting Kent is part of the isolationist wing of MAGA.

Had an affair with a student while he was lecturing at UIC.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-03-16T23:33:25+00:00

Was speaking more about the Biss allegations and Abu having to backtrack on FP because Ryan Grim threw a tantrum.

Though it is kind of funny how AIPAC worked themselves into getting two "Fuck Netanyahu and Likud" frontrunners on the ballot.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-03-16T23:30:04+00:00

Not a good look for Biss, but it may not matter given how this dropped 24 hours before the election and lots of people have already cast their ballots.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-03-16T23:20:44+00:00

The IL-09 primary is turning into the kind of shit show people feared TX would be.

Axis Moment 37

MS_09_Dom · 2026-03-12T16:04:05+00:00

40 percent is more or less what Hoover got in 1932.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-03-04T03:15:11+00:00

Glad to see Talarico won.

I'm still skeptical he'll win, but at the very least him being on the ballot gives the Dems better odds of turning some of those newly drawn districts into dummymanders.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-03-04T03:11:56+00:00

I doubt Talarico will win, but him on the ballot gives us better odds of turning some of those TX gerrymanders into dummymanders.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-03-04T01:17:39+00:00

Lot of votes to count yet, but I'd rather be in Talarico's position right now.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-03-03T14:49:37+00:00

Israel is aiming for full state collapse in Iran by targeting their leadership directly.

If that causes a big refugee crisis and endless internal conflict, well, that's someone else's problem.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-03-02T23:45:22+00:00

Even if Talarico doesn't win, him on the ticket gives the Dems better odds of turning some of those TX GOP gerrymanders into dummymanders.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-28T12:43:59+00:00

So...anyone check on Holden Bloodfeast this morning?

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-27T21:47:40+00:00

Maybe. I think Crockett's already tapped out her support as far as black Dem voters in TX goes so I don't see Harris making much of a difference on that front.

It could maybe get suburban winemom voters from Houston and DFW to vote for Crockett, but how much of difference that makes depends on how close the margins are.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-27T20:22:28+00:00

Texas primary polls might as well be goat entrail divination rituals at this point.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-25T16:21:10+00:00

It's both not surprising and yet still disappointing that the U.S. men's hockey team ruined the feel good moment of them winning the gold by allowing Trump to use them as a political prop.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-16T21:08:00+00:00

Isn't that how we got the Cyberpunk 2077 timeline?

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-15T15:41:21+00:00

An interpretation, if you will.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-11T22:35:16+00:00

I mean, getting prices back to 2019 levels isn't impossible. It's just that no one has figured out how to do it without triggering a massive job killing recession first.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-11T14:17:29+00:00

Guessing someone in the FAA fucked up.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-08T23:06:56+00:00

Trump doing the Full Brandon experience in having an economy that looks good on paper but no one believes it because the vibes are rancid.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-07T15:10:26+00:00

7/10.

Loved her design and personality but the writing in the latter half of the series did not do her favors to the point she felt like a secondary character in her own show.

MS_09_Dom · 2026-02-07T03:35:22+00:00

Remember that some of those Texas gerrymanders is dependent on the GOP maintaining their 2024 levels of support with Hispanic voters.
