RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."
Noem: "With your authority, we're purchasing more buildings in Chicago to operate out of. We're gonna not back off -- in fact, we're doubling down. We're gonna be in more parts of Chicago in response to the people there. We're looking at facilities we can deploy more law enforcement out of."
you can safely assume that nobody on here would *actually* pull a trolley lever for “people die -> erode GOP rule” if it was presented to them in real life and that, much like we do every day, every notion posted is from a position of reasonably upset helplessness
Also Israel has achieved all their military objectives against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, they’ve demolished 90% of the buildings in Gaza, they can finish the killing at a later date.
I do not think Trump is committed to long term peace, I do not think he cares about Palestinians one iota, but he was willing to apply pressure because he craves a good headline.
Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.
Prevents Trump from coming back in 2024 and cements democratic majorities with the will to do actual significant change so yeah it’s completely worth it.
