I get it that Third Way’s list of words/terms the Dems should stop using is counterproductive. But seeing them listed down does make think how truly cringe a lot of them are.
“Chest feeding” “birthing people” “Incarcerated people”… like WTF?! I’ve heard lefty Dems use them before and thought they sounded weird.
Sorry if I don’t sound “enlightened” here for pointing out those particular terms but they really do sound cringe. Sorry, not sorry.
Is there any chance the red state redistricting schemes could backfire? They operate by spreading Republican votes over a larger number of congressional districts. There are hints that the Trump administration's atrocious behavior is motivating anti-Trump turnout, so maybe there's a chance that some more sparsely defended Red districts could turn Blue.
Not to get all nomenclatury and judgmental about it, merely as a constructive hint, I need to report that the kool kidz no longer use “rizz,” they’re on to the next, I am told.
So much of what happens to the Right post-Trump depends on what the next administration (assuming Democratic) does. If they go the turn-the-page, Biden/Garland route the Right evolves into something as bad or worse than currently constructed. If the follow JBP’s lead and make sure there is a price to pay we’ll all be better off.
Sticking with the TBL theme. The problem with nomenclature is " It's not that you are wrong, it's that you are an asshole. " Nomenclature is vital. Form and function are intertwined. The left is so egg headed to simply dismiss the sublime because we can't understand and explain it. The right doesn't feel the need to justify itself with empiricism and reason. At best for them empiricism and reason just has to be in the building.
This argument is more about how Senate minority leader is the more difficult job of the two (Jeffries didn't need to line up any votes for the budget; it passed anyway without his help. Schumer on the other hand had to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of either option (help the budget pass or shut the gov down) and took the path of any risk avoider. Poor Chuck is still of the opinion that everyone is a gentleman/woman like him.
I do think though that the unpopularity of either leader has as much to do with their wishy washy tone, their business-as-usual attitude in the face of unprecedented conditions and events as with their policy work (of which there is little because, d'oh, we lost the election).
This week I made sure my cats papers were in order in case we have to flee. Regarding Jeffries and Schumer and I will add Schiff, who disguised an email as coming from Gavin Newsom. Every request I get for money I share my 15cents of thought. Shake it up and Fight. Paul Krugman had an interview with David Daley last week. My takeaway is Democrats have to win elections.
Lastly regarding everything else if anyone read Project 2025 this whole sh*t show was laid out. The fact that they are trying to create a country of sick illiterates, disappearing people to gulags should be no surprise. Even the maggots who remain silent and supportive of the regime and the Supreme Court fail to realize this regime will take everyone in its way down. Thank you Brian.

Remember the character Orr in Catch-22? Kept crashing his plane into the ocean? Nobody wanted to fly with him? He was crazy? Orr kept telling Yossarian to fly with him. Yossarian yelled at him that NOBODY wanted to fly with him cuz he was CRAZY. Then it turned out Orr was the one guy who had actually figured out and pulled off a most practical plan to get out of the war they all hated. Well, in this scenario, I'm Orr. You should fly with me. Look at the history of our electronic voting machines. Read Jonathan D. Simon's Code Red: Computerized Elections and the War on American Democracy-Election 2020 Edition. Watch the HBO doc--Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America's Elections. You should fly with me.
I've commented it before and I'll comment it again. The next Democratic president should call Tim Cook into the Oval office, then make fun of him mercilessly in front of TV cameras and reporters.
Literally hire a late night TV show writer to write like 30 jokes making fun of him and just go down the list.
Can you please consider my submission from this week for future mailbags? I’m a forgetful ADHD child (real OG, not TikTok), so re-submitting is a chore lol.

“Just saying!”

Goddamnit, and here I thought I’d just gotten hep to the times.
