I’ll make this even easier: Name 1 instance over the course of our history where the US has intervened, installed their preferred leader and it didn’t ultimately turn to shit for the people of that country and for our own country.

Leader Schumer doesn't have the power to to impeach. The House must do that.

"I swear by God this holy oath that I shall render unconditional obedience to the Leader of the American Empire and people, Donald Trump, supreme commander of the armed forces, and that as a brave soldier I shall at all times be prepared to give my life for this oath."

Macky Sall's government did this during widespread protests in Senegal. He was voted out of the presidential office. Many Dakarois could not believe that their leader would deign to do this.

I understand M7 and Ugandan political oppression are a different ballgame, but wow, 48 without internet?
En Ouganda, l’accès à Internet coupé pour une durée indéterminée avant les élections du 15 janvier
L’exécutif avait pourtant affirmé à plusieurs reprises que le réseau ne serait pas bloqué pendant les élections présidentielle et législatives prévues pour jeudi.

No, we did not. Americans voted to give Republicans a trifecta. Leader Schumer has very limited power to safeguard us from anything. These are the two you should be taking to.

It doesn't answer the critics about him as minority leader. When you're personally less popular than some of the most unpopular Republican leaders in politics, it's time to step aside. Putting someone better in his place isn't going to change the Democrats' Senate prospects for 2026.
New - Chuck Schumer to haters: “The answer to these critics is to win. If we win back the Senate, that will answer every question"

Peltola “was the last piece to the puzzle"

He says Dem path to Senate is Ohio, Alaska, Maine and NC. Dems are watching Texas/Iowa

Exclusive: Schumer lauds recruits as Democrats see Senate within reach
The minority leader took an Al Davis-style approach as he sat down with Semafor: “The answer to these critics is to win.”

The abject submission of the slave to the Great Illusion. It's how religions work, and how people are made into violent Fanatics that will kill for the Supreme Leader.

so now being the leader of the friend group is undesirable?? one can't keep up with the ever-changing tides of the bald and the beautiful. 😑

He’s a decent man, for a traditional politician. But he’s a terrible spokesperson. He can’t rally support among independents nor Democrats nationwide. Not a wartime “leader” we need. Marc Kelly would make a great Senate leader. Newsom or Andy Beshear make the most sense in ‘28 for actually winning.

The gulf between Mao the military leader and Mao the peacetime political leader is nuts

The problem here is that she’s in a cult, and Dear Leader has told her that unemployment is down and grocery prices are down and we’re “hot” (whatever the fuck that means) and so no interviewer is ever going to get her to change her altered reality.

All cults operate like her cult operates.

Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell comes over and joins us before Don Scott goes back onto the floor. Don Scott is now back in the chambers delivering his acceptance speech while Surovell is about to deliver a communication from the Senate.

Republicans took your healthcare and murdered a USCitizen who turned down the street where #ICEHoles were and tried to turn around and was murdered by ICE Agents. And what do Republicans do?
Scream about the mayor Frey using an F-Bomb!!
Btw their Supreme Leader has dropped it quite often #VoteOutGOP

TJ Sabula called Sauron a "Pedophile Protector" and this is how the White House spins it

"“A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response,” Cheung said, in defense of the Dear Leader, oblivious to his own reality."

Listened yesterday... It is horrific.

A "cabal" of powerful men running the child trafficking ring is right on brand because it was all about making money and craven abuse. Not friend of Epstein, but a ring leader. That tracks with why he is covering up the files.
Too much to redact.

Millions of Ugandans will Thursday cast their votes in a crucial presidential rematch between a former pop star and their long-time authoritarian leader, who aims to prolong his nearly 40-year rule.

Listening to the documentary Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle while I work, and this bit about the incoherent drugged rambling of a leader, in the middle of the night, demanding attention and castigating his devotees for not doing enough for him is...oddly familiar.

And who just happens to be a leader in AI (and apparently child porn and depictions of violent acts against women), friendly with some of the largest grifters, with a pedo-ring father, in the world?
January 14, 2026 at 5:20 PM
according to the "leader" of this country it is now socially acceptable to give the finger to anyone you don't like....
January 14, 2026 at 5:20 PM
yup bulk of these will end up going to the gov/thiel panopticon as a loss leader
