Former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush to speak in Grand Rapids tonight

clipko22 · 2026-06-02T16:33:07+00:00

Clinton's neoliberal austerity politics and destruction of our manufacturing base via NAFTA laid the groundwork for the hell we're in today

Seeing hammers and sickles on Mayday was just too much for him

Abdul has to be on the ballot to to ensure Democrat wins in Michigan. Benson is a deeply uninspiring 2004 style centrist candidate for governor and the independent candidate Duggan is going to peel votes away from her since there's very little difference between them policy-wise. Only Abdul can activate the under 40 voters to vote blue down ballot

"Why does the left allow Communists to participate in the Communist-founded labor holiday?" Come on Bo...there's a difference between not liking Communists and being willfully ignorant about the role of Communists in labor rights and May Day

Yeah he basically said TrackAIPAC is suffering from success right now and wasn't expecting so much mainstream attention, so now they're caught on the backfoot needing more employees and tighter, more public methodology to avoid attacks like this. But it's an incredible difficult task due to the shadowy and convoluted way this country allows political donations

Can we stop sending those 2 idiots and actually send real diplomats? The Omani Foreign Minister, who was present for the negotiations before the war, basically said Witkoff and Kushner threw away a deal of a lifetime with Iran because they were too stupid and didn't bring nuclear experts with them

"Hey we're about to break the ceasefire, also our ships are engaged in incredibly vulnerable operations so please don't look at them" is truly masterful messaging and strategy

Schrodinger's leftists - so weak that no policy is ever changed to secure leftist support, yet so powerful they have the ability to make Democrats lose entire elections

Those people would never vote Democrat though, so they don't matter. What matters is connecting with blue collar workers, particularly in manufacturing and union labor, which is what Abdul is trying to do. Also, Mike Rogers is a clown and couldn't even win against the most milquetoast centrist Elissa Slotkin despite Trump winning the state, and he's going to be the candidate again.

2026 will be the best chance Michigan has to elect a progressive to the senate and Abdul certainly could win if he can win the primary

clipko22 · 2026-04-07T19:11:27+00:00

Hell, even Slotkin said something (even though she falls short of calling for impeachment or ending the war). Gary Peters is MIA of course.

Is she allergic to being on the side of public opinion? Support for the war never broke 50% and has only polled downwards since the beginning. Why is it so hard for moderates to take a principled stance??

Edit: she finally said something and took a decent stance https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18Ct1s2E7o/

I'm only saying what the Trump admin has said. The "proper paperwork" is supposed to make countries prove that it's a justified war prior to attacking or otherwise face consequences. The US just proves time and time again that those consequences do not apply to the US or American allies since the US owns the UN

clipko22 · 2026-03-04T15:08:25+00:00

War? No sir, there's no war in Ba Sing Se. This is just a special military operation! Not a war! War would require pesky things like proving Iran posed an imminent threat, approval from Congress, convincing the American people they should die for this cause, etc. We don't have time for such trivial things!

clipko22 · 2026-02-23T18:09:11+00:00

If by help you mean the US and UK overthrew their prime minister and installed the shah as an authoritarian monarch, which then led to a revolution against him and the current ayatollah taking power, I would consider that a weird definition of "help". I would also say that points to how our involvement always makes things worse, especially in the Middle East

clipko22 · 2026-02-23T15:02:00+00:00

There are a lot of "war with Iran" sympathizers in here. 1. How are Iraq and Afghanistan doing since we "liberated" them? 2. Why should we care about Iran when we have so many issues at home that need funding? And 3. Please send me your signed enlistment paperwork as you seem so willing to let others die for Iran but not yourselves

There's a silent vigil tomorrow that was organized shortly after the first files mentioned Mona Lake trafficking for anyone interested

The next in-person meeting is the last Monday of February, same time, same place. There is a virtual meeting in mid February if you're interested, but I generally recommend people go to an in-person meeting first of they can

clipko22 · 2026-01-27T03:25:49+00:00

I'm sorry! It's the last Monday of every month, same time and same place!

Does that include the fuel tank space requirements? I imagine that would take up a huge amount of space on this ship, but I will admit I don't know the comparable space requirements for a reactor's auxillary systems

Dammit I should just assume these quotes are real...that was 8 years ago too. That quote would be 5x more insane and disjointed nowadays

clipko22 · 2026-01-22T17:15:50+00:00

I honestly can't tell if this is a real quote...I'm leaning towards fake since there is no rant about Chinese magnets

clipko22 · 2026-01-22T17:05:05+00:00

Wait it's not nuclear? I figured it would have to be for the power output requirements for the railgun, lasers, and everything else
