Alongside the announcement of Noem’s ouster,

Yay!

the president said he would tap Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to be her replacement

Boo!

It’s like Trump has to convince everyone he is the antichrist without actually saying it.

Federal courts yes, but state courts not necessarily. Trump’s favorite tactic has been to run out the clock with constant appeals and lawsuits. Now state courts can use that trick against him. Fight everything he does tooth and nail in the state courts where he doesn’t have the judges in his pocket. Sure the Supreme Court will overturn most unfavorable decisions, but that takes time for appeals to get that far.

There’s always a next vote. That must have slipped the minds of 6/9 of the court.

Look into Trofim Lysenko and Lysenkoism. His theories helped starve 30 million people.

Then there is the BMW i3 which is fully electric with an optional “range extender” which is basically just a gas generator that charges the battery while you drive.

Until now it has been claimed by manufacturers that the vehicles used only a little or almost no fuel when in the electric mode.

I have a PHEV and the gas engine shuts off completely when in electric mode. I don’t see how it could be using gas when it’s not running. Are they confusing the hybrid mode with electric mode?

Under what definition of fascism do Democrats qualify?

The fact that one of those two parties will win does not mean we need to accept the DNC as a valid representative of the working classes, as they fix nothing and maintain imperialism.

They may or may not fix anything, but the RNC will make things worse. The RMC has enabled a fascist takeover that is stripping rights from LGBT people, spreading contagious diseases with antivax policy, abusing and shooting people dead in the street in the name of border security, initiating a coup in Venezuela by kidnapping a national leader, murdering sailors with drone strikes, and denying the basic civil liberties of millions of residents. You can tell me all day about how bad the DNC is but at the end of the day they are the least worst choice.

Every fascist government in history has taken power in large part because the opposition was too busy fighting amongst themselves. There need to be only to sides right now - fascism and anti-fascism.

Both the DNC and GOP are far-right parties of genocidal imperialists

And one of these will be running the country in 2028. Forming a coalition to fight them is a great long term goal, bit it takes time and momentum.

We need to stop treating capitalist-controlled and run elections as our primary political outlet

As of September 2025, 54% have a positive view of capitalism compared to 39% with a positive view of socialism. Those numbers are converging, but we have at least a decade or two before they cross. We just don’t have the numbers to pull it off.

revolutionary working class parties.

Unions. We need to build unions. When a majority of people see unions working for them against the capitalists, then they will be ready to accept something new.

Oh look, a meme HELPING fascism.

Kids of MAGA parents out there, remember to take your parent’s ID the day before election day.

They do other things besides just rule on Trump. There are a lot of crimes and lawsuits that need judges. Without that the whole justice system collapses.

Besides that, quite a few of these judged have decided against Trump. Just last Wednesday a Trump appointed judge blocked an attempt from Trump to get Michigan’s voter rolls. Once they have their sweet lifetime appointments, a Trump has nothing to offer them.

If there are not enough judges, do you think the government will stop arresting people? No, the judicial system will just grind to a halt which will make it even easier for Trump to break the law.

I’ve definitely seen a couple places here in Chicago with $11 milkshakes. Jojo’s Shake Bar comes to mind.

There’s no pleasing you, is there?

One would think, but a lot of people are miseducated as to the cause and effect of these things (to put it as politely as I can).

The United States works a lot more like the EU than any individual country. Each state has its own politics and leadership. Some states try to make things easier, some try to make things harder, and it can all flip from one election to another. It makes it very hard to make any kind of progress. A passport would work as ID just about anywhere, but less than half of Americans have one. I don’t (and I’ve been out of the country a couple times).

I live in an area of the country that was explored by the French, so the names of many towns, rivers, etc are French. Locals seem to delight in butchering the French pronunciations as much as possible. Not a single one is pronounced anywhere close to correct. There is definitely an element of brotherly teasing to it.
