They really sent mixed signals when they picked a fortress with a storm drain in the wall that's just begging to be exploded. They may as well have a neon "Welcome" sign.

I like how this whole thing reveals how carefully controlled the right-wing info bubble has to be to protect its occupants from reality. Dial in the bias too softly and Grok acknowledges the right is just plain wrong. Dial the bias in too hard and it's literally Mecha Hitler.

So when Viggo Mortensen does it, it's sexy, but when I do it, it's "Home invasion" and a "restraining order violation"

I'd have to guess 'N' first, though. Couldn't help myself.

He could hardly do more damage than the genuine Marco Rubio would do.

Based.

Criminal justice has nothing to do with who breaks the laws and everything to do with who writes and enforces them.

This happened in his first presidency. Time and endless propaganda from the right wing media successfully rehabilitated his image in time to win another election. They'll do the same with his policies.

There's not going to be any evidence left by the time someone else gets access to it.

If you want to find out who's to blame for a tragedy, you need look no further than who's saying "don't make it about politics." They know.

The last time a non-change candidate won a presidential election in the US was 2004. No president since Obama has had enough of a majority in congress to enact meaningful change, and it was squandered. It's not entirely his fault, but as the leader of the Democrats at the time he takes the plurality of responsibility. The ACA started off as a change that could have fixed healthcare in the US but got watered down into propping up a fundamentally broken system.

Trying to deflect a politicians legitimate failures as racism or sexism is so Democrat it hurts. Yes, racism and sexism played a part in Trump winning, but discontent with the status quo pushed him over the finish line. If racism and sexism alone are enough to fuel the Trump regime and keep it in power, then I guess it's time to flee the country, because we're a lost cause.

Cult-think is a helluva drug.

Man, this notion that "He's a liar, but he lies on our behalf" is way more damaging than just believing he's honest.

Mamdani: It's about the policies

Democrats: Gee whiz, you ran such a good campaign

Voters: It's about the policies

Democrats: Gosh, if only centrists could find such a charismatic guy.

They think everyone but them is so stupid. It's infuriating that the system is set up so we're forced to work with these twats.

We found that charismatic centrist they're looking for. His name is Barack Obama, and we're still dealing with the fallout of him campaigning on "change" and failing to deliver.

Your girlfriend looks hot but crazy.

They're both problems, and fixing the Democrats is the solution to both problems. Democrats repeatedly embracing the status quo is what lets Republicans keep winning, and Republicans won't change as long as they're winning.

It's His own fault for bothering with all that divine hiddenness silliness.

Prompt: a determined, patient pacifist invents a time machine.

He should have seen it coming

Isn't "Abundance" just the latest rebranding of neoliberalism?

Otters just want to sail through life getting by on their looks alone. ^{I'm okay with it}
