She was maliciously shot by CBP agents who proceeded to lie about every single element of the incident and criminally charged her. The charges were dismissed after film and photos showed she was right and they were lying. Now she demands criminal charges against the CBP agents.

If they were removed through impeachment it would be different, but no, not like this.

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

Yeah, that's the core point there, isn't it? Could have a peaceful Europe and a massive six-faction east Asian multi-front war. But that mod doesn't exist. Hmm. What I think I would like is a HoI style game on a pure fantasy planet.

No, that's exactly what he's saying. Among people who didn't vote in a 2024 primary, they have a higher recalled vote for Trump, and are favouring Peltola -more-.

It's also remarkable how he doesn't know how Russian minority owners are being treated, like even right now. (ie, any 'assets' owned are siezed at some point to raise money) He's not even getting bribed with actual money.

That's what I mean by demand destruction. You'd think consumption would have risen, but it hasn't, despite it being harvest time.

thirddudeontheleft.bsky.social @thirddudeontheleft.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
It's shortages too. Demand cratering is what kept a lot of places from running out, which is because prices have went way up. Not the same thing as running out outright, but it's certainly a shortage.

Yeah it worries them. There's incandescent levels of panic coming from many of them. There are some who don't, most of the true sociopaths who don't believe people outside of their own heads are real. Some of them are acting worried, even if they can't do that particular emotion.

One of the biggest asshole racists (and a women-hater to boot) was a white roofer. Guy was all big on how hard his job was and how nobody could do it and how he was perfect at it. While having his broken leg in a cast from a fall. Yes, a fall while roofing.

Just got an email from a former student who took my class a decade ago, asking me for the reading list because she enjoyed the course so much and wants to revisit the texts. And she *apologized* for making the request. Are you kidding me?

You're right though, you said MI, not OH, and I brain farted. Well, with MI, we've got a swing from it going Trump to AES up by a few, so that's what, six points?

thirddudeontheleft.bsky.social @thirddudeontheleft.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Brown, losing by 3.5 in OH to up by 4.5 in OH. 8 point swing, more or less.

Hard to say. It might have jumped a bit in the last few weeks, but otherwise it's been an incredibly steady, slow slide dem-wards. No big events, no particular things happening, just.. IMO, it's just people deciding, one at a time, to flip.

thirddudeontheleft.bsky.social @thirddudeontheleft.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
Isn't that 9% undecided in the above poll? If they go 8-1 R/D, that's still an 8 point lead, 54/46.
000
thirddudeontheleft.bsky.social @thirddudeontheleft.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
In this example, 'barely' means '8 point swing' in MI, and 15+ points in TX.

My thought is they don't want him anywhere near swing voters, but that's not really true, is it? Swing voters count everywhere. Maybe they just don't want T to get angry at seeing people who hate him.
