I had a thought..

With MAGA fully showing our form of government doesn't work and we need an authoritarian dictatorship to get things done..

Why don't the dems start by promoting direct democracy that government doesn't work with shitty elected officials and instead the country should be directly run by the people.

Every issue that qualifies.. have a national vote by smartphone and address things rather than letting things linger in congress forever.

Ofcourse the corporate lackeys won't favor it, but I think it's beyond time the dems started fighting back and showing why democracy doesn't work and how to fix it.

I've thought about that often too. They just need to make sure that the app's security is tighter than ....

You get the gist.

I have an easier thought regarding changing the EC.
Hey folks in battleground States do you like seeing hundreds of political ads per day? If you don’t let’s vote to abolish the EC and just have every vote count the same.
Or
Guys in battleground states do you think you get any benefit from being in a battleground state? If not vote to reform the EC.

Uh... have you put any thought into this at all? I don't think you have.

Dems voted Sinema in AZ.. she got bribed by big money and voters got fucked.



Makes a lot more sense for those same voters to just be able to vote on the issues at hand themselves rather than make them run through hoops of requiring a 60 vote trifecta in one in a 100 years.. doesn't it?

Best 45 minute video you're going to watch this month:


Even Tim Pool's dad called in!

Been watching the tik tok murders trial where the guy killed his ex wife and her new boyfriend due to jealousy..


Consecutive life terms.

I can't even say I have sympathy for him.. for once.. justice happened. It's almost like that quote from Tom Hanks in Philadephia..

"It's that every now and again - not often, but occasionally - you get to be a part of justice being done. That really is quite a thrill when that happens."

I'd have to question a site that confuses his wife's name with his daughter's, although it could be a simple typo.

Also it's dated July 4th, but no year is mentioned. Even if this year, why hasn't other press picked it up in two months?

Looking it up, it seems that one of the sources (_the_ source?) cited, "Executive Intelligence Review" was published by Lydon Larouche. The infamous former-Trotskyist-turned-strange-conspiracy-theorist-and-cult-leader. I might be misremembering the specifics, but his followers always seemed a bit bonkers to me (believing in a secret 'war' between the Vatican and the British royal family, the latter in league with 'the Jews'). The David Icke of his day. So that doesn't strike me as a particularly credible source.

All the same, it's fascinating what a long overhang the USSR has - what started as an ideologically-motivated scheme to change the world then morphed into a means of furthering the power and paranoid self-interests of Stalin as an individual - with a trace of residue ideology and a lot of added Russian nationalism mixed in - and now seems to have continued, under Putin, long after the collapse of the country and regime and even belief-system that spawned it, to the point that these sorts of stories about Trump can appear at least vaguely plausible.

Anyone here live in swing states?

Is it possible to say RFK in one poll and Trump in the other to throw numbers off or pollsters only call once per cycle?

The thing about "the battle of wounded ear" is that if the injury was anywhere near as severe as they'd made out it would only benefit them to release/produce actual medical reports from his treatment. The fact that they're not (coupled with the copious amounts of photographic evidence) kind of implies that it was either something so terribly minor to show almost no evidence afterwards, or just made up completely.

That picture above is from this weekend BTW. A 78yr old with a supposed 2cm hole in his ear is just not going to heal completely by now. Especially in someone who has a mix of ketchup and big mac sauce as the main ingredient in their blood.
