  • Chuck Grassley Caught On Hot Mic Asking Why Trump Nominees Won’t Say He Lost In 2020

    Jump

  • His age is wild, but also he's been a senator for 45 years. He became a Senator before MTV or the personal computer existed. He hasn't lived in the real world longer than most Americans have been alive.

  • AOC and Boebert call for sexual misconduct accountability in Congress.

    Jump

  • Not anymore she divorced him recently. Then got caught and kicked out of a theater for dry humping her date during a live production of Beetlejuice. You know, a shining example of proper sexual conduct.

  • ’25TH AMENDMENT!!!’ Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls for Trump’s Removal From Office

    Jump

  • I think this perspective is the real copium. Vance's performance in the VP debate righted the ship for the Trump campaign. Trump's rock-solid 38% will vote for anyone with an R.

    Vance lacks the showmanship, but he makes up for it by either pretending his terrible agenda is not true or actually agreeable to the center-right. Most know Trump is crazy. Even his more adoring fans will give him a pass on at least one insane thing if you press them. Think "I wish he didn't post on social media so much, but I love that he speaks his mind"

    Two years is more than enough time to get incumbency advantage. He can course correct a couple things in July 2028 and ride that through the debates saying "I'm not trump guys, see, I fixed X and Y!" That gives the 38% the okay to say "yea, he's basically trump still, I didn't actually want X or Y"

    As for winning over the rest of the electorate, who cares? Who on the left didn't know what trump was? We all knew. We saw through the Project 2025 lies. It didn't matter. Enough people stayed home because they knew and thought "it won't be that bad" or "he won't win with that baggage"

    That's Vance's strength. He doesn't need to win anyone over. All he needs to do is flake off a couple factions by pretending to not be that bad.

  • Analysis: Trump’s answer for everything: Blame Biden

    Jump

  • Toward the end he was blaming future Biden.

  • Trump seems to acknowledge he can't run for a third term: "It's too bad"

    Jump

  • Or, easier method. He runs. Democrats sue saying he clearly can't have a third term. SCOTUS declines to take the case because the constitution says he can run, he just can't be elected.

    States wait for each other to take him off the ballot, since elections are state run and eventually none of them do because they waited too long and they are super-duper sure he won't win this time.

    He wins, Sued again, SCOTUS declines to take the case because he's a sitting president and who are they to mingle in elections "we can't set a precedent of stealing elections from the people's choice" or something of that nature.

    Opposition falls in line because, yet again, the majority of Americans decided he and the GOP were the best choice and they'll lose if they fight back. But really, if he wins a third term, GOP owns Congress and there's not a damn thing you can do about it anyway.

    Boom, third term for Trump

  • Looking for recommendations for good Sci-Fi mystery novels

    Jump

  • I have not read Lock-In, but the synopsis sounds similar to Recursion by Blake Crouch

    Project Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir has some mystery, at least for a while while the character tries to figure out what's going on.

    If you're okay with a horror element, Dead Silence by SA Barnes. Astronauts are trying to figure out what happened on a space ship that seems to drive everyone insane

  • Pentagon Pete Fires ‘Fat’ Soldiers as War on Weight Rages

  • Triple SecDef

  • Democrats refuse to fold over shutdown as Republican outrage builds

    Jump

  • "Democrats are being callous" against federal workers, they say, as their King fires a third of them and asks if he can NOT pay them when the shutdown ends.

  • Fox News’ host Brian Kilmeade says ‘just kill ‘em’ about mentally ill homeless people

    Jump

  • Forced to get help where? It's not like mental health resources were available before. Now with Medicaid cuts, I'm sure those mental hospitals are just lining up for the opportunity to treat patients.

    Fox viewers will just write this off as "he doesn't want them killed, he just thinks they should get help" and just assume there are 800,000 free beds, fully staffed and ready to help these people.

  • Do not support political violence† online!

    Jump

  • He died on the 10th. Zulu/UTC time is breaking my brain a bit, but that would have been 4:27 pm in Utah I think. Still just Minutes after his spokesperson confirmed he was dead

  • Do not support political violence† online!

    Jump

  • The site takes donations exclusively in crypto and does not explain anything beyond saying donations will support* the site...no names or founder or non profit. Just "trust me bro" "give me the untaxable currency bro". MAGA never passes on a scam opportunity.

  • Trump-Putin documents left on hotel printer : NPR

    Jump

  • Many do have internal memory. Agencies that need to copy sensitive documents will have them removed. If that is not possible, copyer goes on a list when it is procured so that when it is sold or trashed someone has to go take the drive out and shred it.

  • What Will It Cost to Renovate the ‘Free’ Air Force One? Don’t Ask.

    Jump

  • This plane goes with the Trump family in the end, calling it now. The new Air Force One model, VC-25B, has been in work for a long time. This new plane saves nothing. Boeing already has the two the USAF ordered. They have been in construction for years now. This new one would have to be stripped bare and built up considerably to reach the point the other two are at already.

    I bet this one sits still for a while under the facade that it's going to be AF1, then quietly becomes his family's personal plane under the guise it'll save us money to fly them someplace once, twice, forever. Who's going to stop them anyway?

  • Tesla’s phantom braking nightmare: lawsuits surge as drivers lose trust in Autopilot

    Jump

  • Hey friend, mine is a gen 2 S, so the menus may vary, but when I'm in park, I can turn off the "full self driving" option. Then that lets me turn lane centering on and off. That will put you back to the one click for cruise, second click for lane keep.

    I made a second driver profile, one with autopilot and one without. That lets me switch in and out quickly without needing to find a safe spot to stop the car. I hope that helps!
