I feel like that’s kind of the core of the birth rate panics across the whole age spectrum by the billionaires. None of these fuckers think 20 years in advance to care about a smaller future workforce, but what a low birthdate impacts immediately is the financial solvency of those potential childrearing parents. Fewer and later births means one fewer pressure they can use to exploit workers.
Why the fuck would anyone care about that?
People who compare Biden to Clinton and Harris and see gender as the difference are missing the much more obvious difference in that Trump was the (chaotic) status quo. Every election except for Obama 2 has been a “this sucks, do something else”. Biden won, because he was something else, but he didn’t do nearly as well as he should have and he was cruising for a loss in 2024 even before his brain leaked live on stage.
And while that would point toward better odds for an uninspiring moderate, I do expect we’ll be in danger of vote suppression and manipulation and can’t trust simple “change” to push literally anyone over the finish line.
I think there are a large percentage of those people. I think they’re all MAGA though. There’s close to zero cost from anyone that would vote for Democrats though.
Charisma and policy are the two tent poles. Put someone up who has the charisma to navigate gotcha questions and policy that makes people think their lives will improve if they’re elected. Oh, and don’t do absolutely repugnant things like support genocide.
Identity is a flavoring at most. We know that because Barrack Hussein Obama was the best performing Democratic candidate in decades.
Polling published by Pew that was conducted last year similarly puts the number at 41% (including those who self-identify as “Lean Democrat”, “No Lean/Refused”, “Lean Republican”), while Gallup data puts the percentage of Americans who identify as Republican-leaning independents, non-leaning independents and Democratic-leaning independents at 45%, which the company said was a “new high”.
Bernie Sanders is a “Democratic-leaning independent”. “Independent” is not a synonym for “centrist”.
In 2000, Congress created a visa category for victims of crime who are in the country unlawfully if they assist law enforcement officials. The aim was to lower crime by encouraging victims to cooperate with the authorities without fearing deportation.
The lawyers representing Mr. Aljorna, who has been ordered deported by an immigration judge, and Mr. Sosa-Celis say they hope their clients and their partners will be eligible based on their cooperation now with state and federal investigations into the conduct of the ICE agents.
It’s not going to happen, but if the end result was these people getting visas because they helped prosecute trigger happy federal liars it would be so satisfying.
This is 100% about journalists showing embarrassing losses. Iran doesn’t need 2 week old imagery for their operations.
Yeah. Mackenzie Bezos inherited her fat stacks and she’s been dropping like a stone on the wealth rankings. Inherent in the state of being a billionaire is having more money than you could ever need and not using it to help others.
Reprieve found that only 23 of those killed had links to terror organisations.
There was a link. They were killed by one.
Press photography does not need to be flattering. It can also be framed to tell a story.
If it “works” it’ll be in being applied selectively. They can not apply it in red zip codes and apply it in blue ones, aided by whatever voter database Republicans build. Say some sort of grandfather clause where certain types of existing voters (like those whose grandfathers were all voters) didn’t need to reapply.
If anything, the more he leans on them the less they do his bidding. They’re all part of the same fascist project, but some of them want to do it the old way where they pretend to be serious people doing a job. Their words often end up as legal nonsense, but they’ve gone through the motions and formatted it as if they were professional. Trump showing up to stare them down is an insult to their pride.
One of the sources, who claims Banks tried to invite him along on one of these trips, told the Examiner, “I don’t know how he became the chief of the Border Patrol with his character. He’s going to third-world countries to take advantage of poor f------ women, which disgusts the hell out of me.”
This guy is so close to getting it.
It’s got problems stemming from having a single mod and no rules, but geneva_convenience is easily 90% of the active problem.
No I didn’t. Are you an LLM?
“In the West” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Utah has fuck all to do with forestry. Probably chosen due to lobbying and/or trying to choose a place as unpopular with forestry types as possible to criple the agency.
Lol wut? No. It’s a nonsense attribution that makes no goddamned sense. Just like your “progressivism”.
That’s Schumer you fucking hack. 0% chance you’re so deep in the weeds of American politics to ride AOC for some irrelevant votes and somehow don’t know who said that quote.
She does exactly what they want and they criticize it. These people are morons or ops.
I just want you to know, I’m downvoting you for your thorns, not your opinion.
