Friendly reminder that “both sides are the same” is a load of crap and anyone who says nonsense like that is either a MAGA stooge/Russian bot LARPing as a progressive or a useful idiot for the Trump regime.
Also, Kamala Harris would’ve been better for Gaza. Signed: a Palestinian American.
Aside from Miller’s accidental confession, the only way to answer his question about what would happen if he sent the National Guard into a “nice sleepy Southern town” is if he actually does it.
His slip of the tongue reveals who’s really in charge. trib.al/mIvP0yE
“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”
As for Gunn’s Superman, I could easily argue that he could’ve saved Malik by simply telling Luthor what he wanted to hear, but he didn’t do that. It’s ok though, because Malik reassured him that he has no family and he’s ok with dying for Supes…
I can’t recall any point in any of these films where Supes demonstrated faster than light speeds. It’s not even the only time he failed to stop an explosion. He wasn’t fast enough to stop the Mother Boxes from going off in Justice League either.
The point was that his character didn’t have time to do anything. Thats all there is to it. The narrative called for him to fail to stop the bomb from going off, just like how the narrative of the James Gunn movie called for him to fail to save Malik.
The collaborator class seems serenely confident that the Trumpenreich will last a thousand years while the House GOP is in complete meltdown. Look, I’m not *promising* comedy gold by any means, but the possibility is there.
Even if this ceasefire somehow manages to last, it would still be worth pointing out that the initial ceasefire ended under Trump’s watch, so at best, this would just be him fixing his own fuck-up.
I would be more annoyed with people giving Trump credit over Biden on Gaza on main if we didn't already do this in January its just everyone fucking forgot
It made my blood boil seeing “progressives” on this very app claiming that Trump deserved all the credit for the January ceasefire because Bibi was just so scared of him.
Important reminder that there was a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas right before Trump took office this year, only for it to be broken shortly afterwards on his watch.
Non-political post: I know he’s gotten a lot of flack in recent years for playing the same role over and over again, especially after the Black Adam fiasco, but I actually do think Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a capable actor. He’s just been unwilling to leave his comfort zone for the longest time.
We ran an entire campaign on "Trump is bad for America, Trump is bad for democracy, Trump is bad for *you*" and people went "yeah but how bad could he *actually be*?"
The great irony of blueskys political hobbyists demanding that Ds talk about nothing but this issue now is that Harris actually made "Trumps an existential threat to our democracy" a pretty central campaign focus. Voters shrugged! The online left said she had to be more than just "anti-Trump"!
Sorry but if there is one single US political proposition that we have tested to destruction in recent years, it’s the idea that a critical mass of swing voters see democracy vs authoritarianism as a crucial and salient issue in judging Trump. They simply do not! I don’t like it either
To anyone who thinks that it’s screwed up that Dems are “letting” Republicans hurt people, the time to stop this was in the ballots last year. The voters failed to do that. The only way to turn people against Trump is for them to personally be hurt by him.
If Dems win the standoff and get their policy demands, yes they will have substantively helped millions of Americans (a good thing, to be clear), but also they will have kept Republicans from a self-inflicted wound in upcoming elections
Because tankies always seem to think that Dems are omnipotent and could fix all the world’s problems if they waved their magic wands, but are refusing to do so in the glorious name of capitalism and Israel or some shit.

Republicans are the ones inflicting harm. Expecting Dems to constantly bail them and their voters out never works. All it does is convince the average American that Trump and the GOP aren’t so bad and that they should vote for them again and again.
It should be painfully obvious at this point that the only way to get this country to turn on Trump is if they experience the horrors of his administration firsthand. Dems did their best to reign Trump in during his first term and sadly, it led to the people thinking Trump wasn’t that bad.
