Is this another Teen Vogue situation where a media project you wouldn’t expect to have anything to do with political coverage or analysis suddenly comes through with reporting that puts the major media outlets and commentators to shame?

She had some major medical issues, an ongoing court case, and a custody battle with her ex, so there was a lot of sadness in her life recently on top of all the abuse she’d experienced growing up. Maybe that was cover for an assassination, but there’s a much more mundane story to explain events.

Elon was never the guy who made Tesla work. He’s just a rich guy who bought it and then had to be insulated from running it because his ideas suck.

The whole board and major investors condoned this. Fuck the whole brand. Now and forever. They don’t need to be redeemed if they do the right thing, we’ll be fine without them. The smart people that actually make things happen will go work for better companies.

Propaganda works. Tankies exist. If America is bad, their enemies must be good.

Only the very best for our Secretary of Firearms and Alcohol.

I dunno, we also just get bored and angry when our national cock is publicly embarrassed for a long time. We didn’t sour on Afghanistan because of too many deaths, we soured because it should have been over already and nothing we were doing seemed to be actually progressing toward a incontrovertible win. It was an ongoing demonstration of our limitations.

Also we literally only know his thoughts on the matter because they released excerpts of his journal. If he was trying to rally political and social opposition, you’d think he would have published a manifesto himself.

They don’t have to say outright that the guy was scum and got what he deserved, just question why the federal charges are being brought while there’s a state case and ask questions about how many other people would have a good reason to want this health insurance executive dead. You can introduce the message without abandoning all other defense and saying it explicitly.

Let’s get a guerilla art piece installed in front of the courthouse labeled “Monument to the Unidentified Gunman”.

There are definitely members of the IDF who have immigrated. For schooling at least, if not permanent relocation.

Not just that, but even if you’re looking for a major realignment, the Republicans were at one point the party of civil rights and the Dems were the bastion of white supremacy. You have to go past all these major party changes to actually get to the death of a party.

It’s so much easier to force a realignment than to, during a time of active fascism, destroy the opposition party in hope that in a decade a completely fresh party can emerge from the ashes.

Seriously. These aren’t mistakes or slow bureaucracy that takes time to resolve. They’re stalling and flirting with a final and outright rejection, which is contempt.

Or we could just take it over, like what Hogg is actually trying to do. Parties shift focus much more easily than they die.

I agree, but it actually kind of makes a worse case for them. Sometimes investments don’t work out. Sometimes loans are defaulted on too, but we have a much greater expectation that loans should be repaid.

If these people “invested” in 2023 expecting a certain level of growth and now we’re in 2025 and the growth wasn’t maintained, that’s their fault for making a bad prediction with their “investment”.

“Have to” assumes the consequences of not doing it are worse than doing it. Sometimes it’s better to just walk away from a loan and accept the consequences. Yeah, maybe Ukraine will be screwed in the process, but that doesn’t get them their billions back.

How is this the Republicans?

Danny Wimmer, a spokesperson for Democratic Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, who is Jewish, told the Detroit Free Press that the raids “were not related to protest activity on the campus of the University of Michigan,” but were “in furtherance of our investigation into multijurisdictional acts of vandalism.”

“Which is why I have decided to reduce the amount of time I dedicate to sinking it.”

The NYPost is a crappy conservative tabloid. I don’t know why people keep posting stories from it.

The problem isn’t them arguing to the best of their ability that the accused is guilty. The problem is trying to stack so many years of prison into the charge that the accused pleads out because it’s safer to serve 5 years for something you didn’t do than risk 20 years trying to prove your innocence. That’s not justice.
