Was gonna say the same thing. The Iran Nuke Deal was pretty good but expanding Bush's drone program and doing double-taps disqualified him in my opinion.

Ugh, this is going to inflame the "Putin's Puppet" nonsense.🙄 Trump isn't doing this for Putin, he's doing it for himself. *Everything* he does is for himself. He's doing this because everybody's PO'd about gas prices and are correctly blaming *him* because of his stupid war with Iran.

We can keep Bernie because he's one of the good ones. But he's old and deserves a happy retirement.

Yet. Standard AI probably won't be a problem. Superintelligent AI will be. We are superintelligent compared to the animals. And historically, whenever we and animals come in contact, it's not been good for the animals. We might end up ignored, livestock, or pets (or worse).

Because it's not true. Some Dems are taking AIPAC money and hiding it by letting AIPAC use shell corporations to launder it. Some are letting corps hire their kids or buy out their businesses for $millions. And don't forget the insider trading. Establishment Dems are still completely sold out.

Typical centrist behavior. Say you support people, and then fail to do it. Or worse, support the people causing harm because they're donors.

This is what you get when you put aesthetics over functionality. I'm mid-60s and in better shape than him. Also pretty sure he's pushing women out of the military because his toxic masculinity shames him for being weaker than them. And black people because he's racist.

Yeah, that's how it *should* be. But Dems fight the left harder than they fight Republicans. (Because progressives would end the Dem establishment grift of getting rich by insider trading while running on a "We're not Trump" strategy instead of delivering benefits to the general public.)

There's two paths in front of the Dem party. Continue as is, shifting to the right and serving their wealthy donors with voters bouncing back and forth between rage at them and the GOP. Or go left and pass legislation like Medicare For All and stay in power for generations. (They'll choose $$$)

Like Dems are any better. Their candidate loses and they go quiet, refusing to endorse until the last minute or even not at all.

Not that complex. Trump is a cheap bastard. He overcharges when selling to other people and shortchanges or even refuses to pay when buying from others. This is his true "Art of the Deal" philosophy.

Safe bet that the captain downplayed reports to Hegseth who downplayed reports to Trump. And, as usual, it's the troops who suffer the consequences and they'll be ignored and shortchanged when it comes time to take care of them.

The Constitution has its flaws but this ain't it. The flaw is that the people who should be using it, aren't. Establishment Dems don't actually want to get rid of Trump because it would destroy their "We're not Trump" election and fundraising strategies. They'd actually have to work for a living.

Yet another reason why we have to tax the rich. People and businesses should not have the power to change the definitions of words by fiat. Or rich enough to think they have a right to.

Chris @wilywolf108.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Also sad is Dems not doing anything to *earn* votes. "Trump is awful" clearly isn't enough. Start with *credibly* supporting universal healthcare, taxing the rich, and stopping data centers. But since the Dem establishment would rather lose elections than donors...

Chris @wilywolf108.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Obama had a majority and wasted it trying to get a Grand Bargain. Dems could have ended the filibuster and passed lots of good stuff with a simple majority, but that would have upset the donors so... Establishment Dems are there to get rich and polish their credentials, not to help people.

Chris @wilywolf108.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Either Obama is giving in to the inevitable or Abdul El-Sayed isn't as socialist as we thought he was. Probably a bit of both. Obama cares about his legacy and wants to be seen supporting winners and there's basically no such thing as an anti-capitalist politician in America.

No worries. Dems will screw it up by taking the win and doing nothing with it, as usual, and then voters will shift back.

Trump isn't worried about getting impeached because he's already been impeached twice. What he's worried about is losing the Senate and getting *convicted*.

And Dems do the same thing. There really should be a ban on the revolving door between jobs at the White House and as news anchors.

That's one way. I would have the judges serving for 2-4 years with the Chief Justice serving for 6-10 to provide stability. 🤷‍♂️ The only guarantee is that rich people will try to game whatever system is created.

Chris @wilywolf108.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
F no. People really gotta stop with the celebrity worship. Obama is too old and is a capitalist sellout. He wouldn't fix anything, he'd just be Roberts-Lite. Promote KBJ to Chief Justice, fire the rest, end lifetime appointments, start a rotating system of randomly selected temporary judges.

Yes, Trump is awful. The worst President ever. But... Biden was a dementia-addled genocider that crippled Kamala's chances by taking too long to be talked out of running for a second term. (Not that Kamala's much better.)

"Dems plan to expand Medicare" Coming from establishment Dems, that's a lie to con people into voting for them. Coming from progressives/socialists, it's an actual promise but there aren't enough of them (yet) to force it.

Same. Once they hit 60, they should be required to pass physical and cognitive exams every year. After all, they are directly and indirectly responsible for millions of lives. Too many of them are not fit to serve. Bernie would likely pass. Many would not.

Why *nearly* $100? Why not the full 100? They should be adding funding to the "Improvement" Fund in order to lower costs, not as bribes (or "tapping into it" for other stuff). And do Republicans not care about the deficit anymore? (Satirically rhetorical, no need to answer.)

Negotiate? It should be a set standard of just a little bit over manufacturing costs. A small profit? Sure, gotta give businesses a reason to operate. But maximizing profits for shareholders? Should be illegal.

Blaming Trump for everything is not "getting better", it's the same old strategy they've been using for years. They'll be getting better when people start going to jail for the crimes they commit, including Dems and donors.
