American Politics: An Unwelcome World

Don’t give a shite. Is an Islamo-Socialist that is going to destroy NYC.

But that’s what the hard left wants. They want the financial center of the world to go to shite.

No we want the world to actually be a better place, unlike people like you.

Please be true. The Democratic Party is in need of fresh new leadership, not the old, out of touch elite of yesteryear.

How much you wanna bet it's someone old again?

Though for real, I could see Hakeem Jefferies taking up her role. As he did already.

Eternal Party Leader Joe Biden.

Nancy Pelosi expected to announce retirement after Tuesday.

I know a couple people in her district. They liked her.

The trump inspired attack on her husband probably motivated her.

Cringiest government of all time. If the founding fathers could see this you think they’d still declare independence?

At the Constitutional Convention, delegate Elbridge Gerry (the inventor of gerry-mandering) compared standing armies to a standing [REDACTED due to site rules], because "while it may do much to promote domestic tranquility, it leaves an undue temptation to foreign adventure." Benjamin Franklin wrote an essay about farts and joked about making fart perfume so they would smell nice. And let's not forget the prank they played on Governeur Morris where they told him to slap the austere Washington on the back and see what happens. I mean seriously, this is mild compared to the stuff they did back then. At least Trump hasn't had anyone tarred and feathered.

Yet.

There’s a difference between being a crude person and making the office itself crude. Professional is dead.

I can't wait to see all the money Musk put in for Cuomo's campaign get flushed down the toilet if Mamdani wins.

I haven't seen any indications that Musk has contributed any significant sum to the NYC mayoral race. AFAIK, a group of around 26 or so billionaires - Musk not among them - have contributed somewhere around $23-24 million to Cuomo.

Less than a million a piece from billionaires? Do they even want to win this shit?

Six billionaires have contributed $1 million or more, with most of it going to Cuomo's Fix The City PAC. Bloomberg tops the list with over $8 million.

[Tyrassueb]

I'm gonna guess that Mamdani wins the NY City mayoral race with about 45% of the vote. Would be closer to 60% if Cuomo ever learned to take "No" for an answer.

San Francisco has fallen to the techbros. The time to challenge Pelosi from the left may have passed. Her replacement as the Rep of San Francisco is gonna be milquetoast at best.

Right now it is too early to tell. San Francisco may surprise us by pushing a progressive into the seat much like how we are seeing Mamdani on course to win NY City's mayorship.

I really think the Democratic leadership should take Mamdani winning as a sign of where the rank and file, especially, in more liberal cities, are heading politically.

I don't think they will, though.

The democrats need to.vecome Cantre-Left and stop being pure centrist to centre-right.

Harness the power of FDR and Truman.

What, you think only national elections can be tampered with? Where do you think they practice?

Of course not.

Dick Cheney has died. Who knew it was even possible.

Dick Cheney has died. Who knew it was even possible.

I have to admit that I didn't even know he was still alive. Thought he had died a few years ago.

Edit: Ah, had him confused with Rumsfeld.

Polling is fairly close on both of those, so I personally wouldn't preemptively scream about electoral fraud.

Satan has called another one of his servants home.

Because Republicans (with power at least) are satanists

A great man. RIP.

I shall shed no tears. He was a horrible human being.

[New haven america]

Dick Cheney has died. Who knew it was even possible.

And so the demon heads home to roost.

[The Archregimancy]

It's a terrible shame, but we had to make Cheney DOS for his stubborn refusal to observe the most basic commandment of NSG: don't be a Dick.
