Agreed, this kind of catastrophic inability to resist at any level by Democratic politicians and especially Democratic leadership DIRECTLY led to these murders being inevitable. I am not kidding, the inaction of politicians like Chuck Shumer and Hakeem Jeffries directly led to the murder of Renee Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti.

Blood is on Tim Walz’s hands for not calling in the National Guard sooner as well.

The fascists were always going to choose violence and thus the blood is on the hands of the Democratic establishment for not believing what the rest of us knew, capitulation to Republicans and fascists was always going to end in violent jackbooted thugs executing US citizens in broad daylight for no reason other than to instill fear and terror and hopefully justify more violence.

All the Democratic Party can say for this most awful evolution of US politics it is that they waited until the evidence was undeniable to believe the people who were saying the threat was existential to our democracy.

Cowards were ok with it until now?

Glad they are capitulating to voters but their hesitancy to challenge fascism even as we are drowning in it speaks volumes.

I mean that is kinda it, it is a simple body motion I never learned until yoga that clearly I was supposed to be doing because my body just digests/does all the gassy stuff better, this whole time I just didn’t know.

No one told me “Do downward facing dog, your tummy will feel better!” I just discovered it from doing it so I feel like I wish I discovered that way sooner.

Live like Recko with No Regreckos

This is a very good breakdown of the events with clear explanation.

Downward facing dog -> upward facing dog -> child pose

My lower stomach and digestion work so much better when I remember to do this.

Not relevant to the post I made, if you want to discuss that see my previous post on it.

I posted wrong link by accident, did you see first link? It was to a different article on the site.

No, I would say it is the “minimum evil” framing, as in at minimum they failed to stop it and that is already damning enough to disband the whole thing regardless of how much more evil the reality is.

which is saying a lot!

UK are you high?

What made you look at the FBI and think “yeah, we need that”!!?

Let me remind everyone because the haze of chaos has made it easy to forget, January 6th was organized IN PUBLIC ON FACEBOOK and the FBI still completely failed to stop it.

There is no failing bigger than that, and that was before children’s book author Kash Patel took over.

yes this is real, I am sorry to say…

I mean holy shit pick any other entity to compare yourself too, have some damn standards!

The DNC and corporate Democrats would rather have a fascist takeover than empower actual leftwing policies, so I don’t think that eventuality really bothers them as much as the possibility of losing control over the power structures of the Democratic party does.

For the leaders of the Democratic party, if they complete the parties transition to an entirely controlled opposition party if anything that makes the jobs of dumpsterfires like Chuck Shumer and Hakeem Jeffries easier, whenever their job gets hard they can just threaten anybody left of them that they will get hurt by their Republican colleagues and their violent thugs if they keep talking like that. They don’t have to campaign on doing or accomplishing anything since the fascist regime is in relative terms so horrific people will feel forced to vote against it for “opposition party” politicians who are worse than useless but still technically better.

I think it makes perfect sense for the power structures of the DNC to act like this will be a fair election, the best outcome for them is it won’t be and it will thus make the job of leaders in the DNC far easier. Then they can just work as an advertising campaign for something that doesn’t exist and nobody will have any expectations for them to actually be able to accomplish anything material. This is the dream job description for both Chuck Shumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

When I say Texas is the stupidest state don’t get me wrong the people there have normal, intelligent human brains just the same as anywhere, rather it is the worms Texans willingly choose to let into their brains that makes Texas the stupidest state and I refuse to not make fun of Texas for fucking it’s future up so unbelievably hard.

I can’t imagine how suffocating and depressing suburban car sprawl hell is in Houston, it has got to be a grim life living in that degree of normalized dehumanization.

This year’s list placed Houston at No. 127 out of 149 U.S. metros, which were evaluatedon 17 metrics in three categories — socioeconomics, location and community, and quality of life.

“Overall, our research shows a metro that functions effectively as a labor market but struggles with day-to-day living conditions,” said study author Adina Dragos in an email.

“Shut Up, Stop Asking For Better & Work Until You Die” - Texas Strong!

Wait I got a better one, Texas should update their state motto to a riff on New Hampshire’s with “Live Unfree THEN Die”.

ICE are terrorists, abolish ICE and lock them all up in prison.

Lol nope, out of principle I will never pay for this even if I didn’t already hate Google.

It feels so condescending to the user, so unconcerned with their agency that I could never bring myself to support this choice with even a tiny amount of money.

I 100% percent support making fun of the US and how incompetent and fascist we are but for the record I sure as HELL would never want to fight Finnish troops in Arctic conditions. The way people used to wax poetic about how russia’s most powerful general is winter blah blah blah is far more fitting for the Finnish military.

Nah, considering the past conflicts Finland has been in and had to face down, I would not want to fuck with the Finnish in an arctic war, especially a messy prolonged one with infantry combat.

The Soviet Union invaded Finland on 30 November 1939, starting the Winter War, with the goal of annexing Finland.[1] An expected easy Soviet victory instead saw the Red Army suffer severe losses in men and materiel, and the attempt to conquer Finland failed. The war ended on 13 March 1940 with the signing of the Moscow Peace Treaty in which Finland ceded 9% of its territory to the Soviet Union.

Finland invaded the Soviet Union in June of 1941, initiating the Continuation War. Finland retook territory lost in the Winter War and proceeded to occupy East Karelia. The Soviets launched the Vyborg–Petrozavodsk offensive in June 1944 and drove Finland out of the territory it had taken, but the Finns halted the offensive with a string of victories, beginning with the Battle of Tali-Ihantala and ending with the Battle of Ilomantsi in August 1944. The Continuation War ended with the Moscow Armistice.

As part of the Moscow Armistice, Finland was obliged to drive out the Germans from Finnish territory, in what became the Lapland War. The war ended in April of 1945.

The Finns successfully resisted Soviet attempts to conquer Finland, making Finland one of two combatant continental European countries in World War II not to have its capital occupied (the other being the Soviet Union).[2]
