Or let them just go bankrupt. That’s how real free market deals with firms that can’t produce anything useful.

Sounds just like conditions in American prisons in general. This inhumanity didn’t just spring out of nowhere.

For thirty years I worked in the post-Soviet successor states in Central Asia and observed over and over again precisely the cycle that Bill Kristol describes. Corruption leads to authoritarianism, directly. The path is utterly predictable.

I think the base has done enough to let them know what people want, including last week‘s elections and the current backlash unfolding. It is their the job now to listen and act. Ro Khanna is a start.

All great ideas. Yet currently I m watching who, if any, speak out against minority leader.

The total overhaul of the party is going to take years given their terms in Congress. I don’t think we have that kind of time. Also, there is substantial resistance to progressives within the party itself.

NYC elections are a living proof alternative ideas have serious potential. Changing the dem party seems intuitively easier… but how do we know who the Vichys are other than the 8 obvious scapegoats? For all I know, half of the party voted “yes”

Two ways out of this. 1. The chamber gets purged, we need a new fighting breed of Dem reps or 2. We need a third party while dems become irrelevant One thing is clear - this pretending to be an opposition cannot continue,

True fascism is ideology. These losers don’t even care about that. They sold their dignity and reputation for money, not idea. Truly pathetic.

I wonder when the word combo “genocide of your own people” will start circulating. Because no food, no medical care, no vaccines and disappearing/dying at the hands of masked creatures is genocide.

The results of last night? Or an act of self-preservation? Either way, that’s good news. They might start petting their little monster against the fur.

Wow, first time I've seen him underwater in this poll with white people. He has negative disapproval across every possible cohort.

Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder? “Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”

The worm- infested zombie decided that “not recommended” is not morbid enough. Not giving people a choice to decide for themselves and their families is ideal for him.

SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.

The disabling of America continues. The Pentagon has fired Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore, the chief of the Navy Reserve, and former Navy SEAL officer Rear Admiral Milton Sands who oversaw Naval Special Warfare Command.

People are STILL minimizing b/c the worst hasn't happened. Sure, DC now has military checkpoints, but isn't crime bad there? Sure, people are being dragged away by goon squads, but aren't they mostly illegal? Sure, universities and the media are being strong-armed, but aren't they too liberal?

Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.

Q for those w experience in politics or diplomacy: Is there *any* other example of a US prez, on US soil, letting a foreign leader control the mic for a very long time, in his own language, w/o consecutive translation, before letting US prez say anything all? I don't know of any. Humiliating.
