It boggles the mind that Democrats could lose because they were blamed for an inflation they didn’t cause.
While Republicans could win on a campaign of inflation they’ll intentionally cause.
But here we fucking are with 104% tariffs on China.

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

Some journalists never seem to learn. Or maybe they learn and still prefer to carry on.
This is genuinely dangerous reporting, a total failure of journalism. An “annexation” of Canada would involve the mass murder of Canadians but this idea is being sanitised and reported as if it were farce, as mere trolling, by a man who has co-signed two coups of his own country.
Canada as the 51st state? Trump thinks it would be a boon to his legacy. But it would also be a boon to Democrats, who would gain a lot more voters. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

Canada as the 51st State? In Electoral Terms, Trump’s Idea Favors Democrats.
Bringing Canada into the United States, however farcical the prospect may seem, would alter the political map in a way likely to cost Republicans.

A widespread attitude seems to be “if I keep my head down the far-right won’t come after me” but the problem with that attitude is: for a growing section of the population, there are no good immigrants. For these people, immigration is a failed experiment and the failures must be purged, all of us.

Too much of the USA’s decline is being framed in terms of “look at our empire being torn apart by clowns” - that’s exactly the problem: this decline is the logical outcome of when that same will to dominate is turned inwards. (I know that’s an obvious point, I’m just seeing this framing everywhere.)

A lot of people only want to identify Nazis after they've done the mass murdering bit. The thing is, you need to identify them and deal with them earlier to stop that.
