Putin’s power draws from his adversaries and foreign policy. He is very weak domestically, mostly at the behest of the oligarchs that run the entire domestic policy show.
Putin muscling around internally usually has to do with the oligarch’s stance on foreign policy or the other oligarchs are wanting to eat one of their own.
Gulags at least had trials. Our system isn’t even bothering to do that.
Turns out the sham trials were the excessive part.
He ran on the platform the Democratic Party ran on for 2020, which still held appeal regardless of his track record. But honestly after his stroke his spouse really helped carry him across the general. In the end though she isn’t the senator.
But now there’s no platform at all so he’s just doing whatever he wants, including being a total shitbag. He’s a senator for a failed party, after all.
The coordinated political hit job on Corbyn was so ugly and blatant.
They don’t want his actual response, opinion, or policy. The desired outcome is obedience, and obedience alone.
I’d rather AOC knock Schumer out of the Senate in 2028. (Or a special election if he for whatever reason is unable to complete his term.) Congress needs as much replacement as the White House.
But it is really frustrating framing how the article is already conceding Trump will be the dominant candidate for a third term in 2028. That’s a long way off.
You’ve already got him beat for my vote if it came down to it.
She called for Cuomo resign in disgrace as governor and then endorsed him for mayor.
These ghouls don’t believe in anything.
Suddenly 99 JD Vances in the Senate.
There are pockets and layers of water in the ocean that behave very differently from each other. There are areas of high salt concentration that pretty much act as death horizons for many organisms. There are waters completely devoid of oxygen that suffocate organisms that get lost or stuck in it.
So, in a sense: yes. However the degree to which marine life had adapted to these conditions, the more unlikely parameter is a dead organism not being consumed by scavengers.
I really hate that this is some of the toughest public language I have seen about Israel from an American official.
It’s a summer job and an after-school gig for a lot of students. Likely they have long rosters of employees who worked a summer job going back however long they kept the digital database.
The entire point of this is that it takes considerably more effort on your end to respond.
The simple answer is: there’s never been a trans issue. There’s been an anti-trans issue though. And that’s categorically portrayed as the trans people’s fault and responsibility, much to the benefit and design of the anti-trans movement.
The anti-trans folk sit right along Zionists and ICE in their rhetoric.
Neoliberals are beginning to look equally as invalid as conservativism
It should never have been more than a pace behind.
Democrats want the party to focus on their day-to-day needs and want wealthier Americans to pay more in taxes.
That was the express point of the article.
The only two parts that deviated from that message: saying democrats focus too much on transgender issues and it talked up Gavin Newsom.
So if that wasn’t the point of the article that’s what you’re left with.
The status quo will be a radical departure, indeed.
The shareholders will benefit greatly from more war.
Competance saved us from nuclear holocaust before. Will its inverse do the same?
