I think you’re right to a degree, I do think Covid wouldn’t have been AS bad as under Trump. And the GOP still could’ve marched right into a win in 2020, but those years prior when he was president were still extremely damaging to both the sanity and structure of this country. The Supreme Court nominees alone would leave us in a wildly different state not to mention everything else he did to fan the flames of xenophobia and bigotry

This is both accurate and upsetting, and a step further, had he lost in 16, to anybody. I don’t think he’d have had a chance in 20 if he even ran.

Micro machines

It feels like Iran is exposing the traditional US military as a bit of a paper tiger unless you count nukes. I’m sure I’m at least kinda wrong, but that’s the vibe I’m getting

I’m not certain about California, but I know the governor in many states has authority over sheriffs, why has Newsom not stopped him? Weird look for the supposed frontrunner for 2028

Have something positive queued up, it gets kinda dark while still being illuminating

In Robert Evan’s original run of It Could Happen Here, he said that when he was imbedded in Syria and Iraq that he saw some of the toughest and scariest people he’s ever met go white as a sheet at the sound of a commercial drone overhead

lol, lmao even

He’s very dead though

I can see it, especially with the facial hair

Anyone else think that was Jon Stewart for a second?

It’s been done. Minneapolis or Chicago would be my picks.

I’m still here for it

Yep! No one seems nearly worried enough about how much this will shift the global order and impact day to day life
