Axelrod pushes for Rahm Emanuel as DNC chair
  • Emanuel is a veteran Washington insider, having served three Democratic presidents. He holds a reputation as a high-energy political operative who often uses colorful and profane language.

    Sounds like the perfect man for the job of ensuring that nothing changes for the better within the DNC.

  • Pentagon stunned by Trump's nomination of Fox News host as defense secretary
  • Withdrawing from NATO, I could see Trump entertaining that (wouldn't actually happen).

    Fire a bunch of the top leadership? For sure. That would both be something Trump could "order the military to do," as well as something he might do, and it would also harm the US military's capability to wage war.

    Zero out Pentagon funding? Not possible for trump to do alone, but depending on the congressional make up, it could be done and would severely limit the ability of the US Military to wage war. They could even do it without affecting enlisted personnel enrollment. The Pentagon has their own funding 100% separate from military spending.

    Could also deny all future discretionary spending for the military/pentagon.

  • The Real Reason Texas Isn’t Turning Blue | Every few years, we’re told that Democrats are about to break through in the red state. Here’s why they continue to lose.
  • The more cynical among us might view this as a racket. . . Despite his electoral face-plant, he became an influencer touring the country for the Harris campaign. The Texas Democratic Party is replete with “organizers” such as these, who seem always to fail upward.

    Oh word?

  • It's a big club and we ain't in it
  • Nah, much like democrats use minorities for their kayfabe social issues, republicans use "family values" or "religion," the donors, the unelected de-facto party leaders never cared about those things.

  • Democrats Begged Team Kamala Harris Not to Campaign With Liz Cheney
  • It was all Hillary people. Why the DNC keeps hiring hillary and her people? Well Hillary owns the DNC. It's a private corporation that has private share-holders and their product is ballot access for the Democratic party.

    If you want to run as a democrat for almost any office in the entire country you have to go through the DNC.

  • The Onion: Time-Traveling Hillary Clinton Warns Self To Do Everything In Exact Same Way
  • We knew that 6 years ago when they continuously floated Harris as the next big thing. She even used the classic hillary policy about "Student loan forgiveness for entrepreneurs who operate a business in a disadvantaged neighborhood for 3 years."

    Harris was Hillary's next in line before the 2016 election had started.

  • After not endorsing Harris, Rashida Tlaib secures win in Michigan
  • This isn't correct political reasoning. Primary voters ARE NOT general voters. As an aside, the primary is just a fiction the major parties use to give their candidates legitmacy. The outcome of a primary doesn't matter what-so-ever and the candidate could get zero votes from people like me or you and still legally be on the ballot. For example, Harris.

  • Apple put the Magic Mouse’s charging port on the bottom again
  • It's done intentionally. If you want a wired mouse, you can buy one of thousands of wired mice and use those. If you want a wireless mouse, it doesn't need to and shouldn't be plugged in while you are using it.

  • Iran warns it will defend itself after Israeli strikes, but is prioritizing a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon
  • Death to Israel. However Iran is as big a threat to Israel as the average US citizen. They should probably work on reforming their government from a strongman theocracy to something closer to china. Having a "spiritual leader" is alone worthy ridicule, and revoking of international recognition.

  • www.aljazeera.com There is a way out of the climate crisis – but it is not through COP

    The world’s top climate summit is a hoax, and it can’t help us.

    There is a way out of the climate crisis – but it is not through COP

    A pretty standard pro-environmental piece, however I do appreciate how it calls out the "German Green Party," which is obviously just an astro-turfed political party funded by the coal industry.

    And of course the criticism of about the farce of Carbon Capture is spot-on.

    www.politico.com Why Senate Dems are prepared to swallow a border policy compromise

    In addition to helping embattled US allies, Senate Dems believe changes could help cool border politics in battleground states ahead of 2024.

    Why Senate Dems are prepared to swallow a border policy compromise

    >A growing number of Senate Democrats appear open to making it harder for migrants to seek asylum in order to secure Republican support for aiding Ukraine and Israel.

    This is what the democrats stand for. Unlimited funding for the MIC and border-control, but social issues are not a priority.

    Stop voting for the parties of Capital.
