Apparently, things are only getting worse at Mt. Rainier. This is just horrifying. I have never seen MRNP so mobbed as it is this year At this point, they should just close the park entirely. There are just too many people, and the park is severely understaffed. Shut. It. Down. #parkchat

I think you can do either, it’s more of the delivery and been a capable orator with intention and not having a set of formulaic notes that can make someone politic well.

I guess this is just sort of the logical endpoint of this administration’s commitment to fulfilling their supporters’s desire to vicariously consume violence done to other people.

fwiw if you want to make a strategic case for congressional democrats trying to impeach trump if they take majorities, i think the first step is impeaching hegseth, the bar is lower and the likelihood of success is probably much higher

I think there's a world out there where Trump basically goes hands-off during COVID, maybe just works on his ballroom and appointing the worst judges possible but lets a general consensus of the CDC and state Govs bumble through and signs the Stimulus checks and then he wins 2020.

yeah, plenty of them are going to be dead-end even against the existence of their neighbors having rights, and are not worth work like right wingers in power and in opinion pages. But the total numbers fully in that place, the normies and vibe voters could be charitably worth the work, I mean.

But also the people you are meeting with, I think a lot are assuming you mean the people currently in power and imposing their will onto the majorities and demonizing huge numbers of people. I think it’s a practice in washing them to do so. If we are more talking neighbors and local leaders…

Hawaii rarely sees significant hurricane damage. But in just over a month, the islands felt the effects of three major hurricanes. Nolo, Lowell and Lala all reached Category 4 strength or higher.
theconversation.com
Another hurricane just sideswiped Hawaii – why the islands’ usual force field seems to be down in 2026
Cooler ocean temperatures east of the islands typically keep major hurricanes away, but El Niño is helping fuel this year’s risks.

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.

Seems clearly a person that isn’t just full of insecurities and grievances, that that is all there is to them. However well he did or didn’t do there, it was a stepping stone that he took wile in ROTC but disliked and ranted about when he was there in their college newspapers.
