Model35mech's Journalthe different thing about THIS Dem circular firing squad
is that the Presidential candidate is the target in the middle of it.
Year after year they yelled at us FEAR TRUMP FEAR FASCISM!
2016 against TRump we were told it was a CRITICAL ELECTION
2020 against TRump we were told it was a CRITICAL ELECTION
2024 against TRUmp we are once again told it is a CRITICAL ELECTION
What the F*** is wrong that we cannot put away Trump?
What the F*** is wrong that in the most critical election in Democracies life, the ambitous high in the party want to deep six the incumbent?
Bill Clinton didn't Face Trump
Obama Didn't Face Trump
Hillary LOST to Trump.
BIDEN DEFEATED TRUMP! Unless you don't believe in US elections.
Incumbent presidents have a huge advantage for second term victories. HOW STUPID ARE THE DEM POOBAHS??????????
Isn't it about time for Trumps "wound" to contact the air?
I've always thought that getting freshair to a wound is part of healing.
I'm not suggesting he get his ear filthy or subject it to rough handling. I'm just saying it wasn't a huge wound, and keeping it dry and in fresh air isn't wrong.
It shouldn't be like this. Really. I shouldn't take it personal but I did and I still do
My partner has an appointment for her hair at 2:15 2 hours and 15 minutes from when I came in the door.
I stopped my day at 11:15 this morning to be sure I got back in time.
As I came home, I thought I'd do her a favor... I stopped and got KFC for supper.
So, I pull off the street and into the garage. I do this pretty much every day. This is NORMAL! in my life
I walk to the back door. Three steps in she's yelling at me for putting the car in the garage. (But you know...She doesn't need to leave for her hair appointment until 5-10 minutes before 2) and SHE is the driver who has rubbed the right side of the car on the bricks of the side of the house 7 times in 6 yrs! The repetitive slow learner really ISN'T ME.
This sort of ambush upon coming home happens almost everyday. It's a problem with the printer, or the computer, or she can't find something in her household records, or the doors on the cabinets aren't closing, or the lawn mower wouldn't start, or other shit that suburban adults are supposed to be able to deal with, if only by credit card. And it is too too often that I don't get a chance to walk in and set what is in my hands onto the kitchen counter and take a breath before she's on me. This time, I brought her home carry out because SHE is complaining about doing COMMON THINGS THAT ADULTS DO, like make a meal.
It's come to feel like when I walk in the door I'm advancing into the striking distance of an ambush predator. And I'm just doing what SHE has trained me to do.
I KNEW she had an appointment in a bit more than 2 hours. And the answer from her IS ALWAYS(!) her getting PISSED OFF at me because I'm a sexist who doesn't think that "WOMEN" can back up a car. She insists on backing it, without looking at the video screen on the dash or the side mirroes.
Usually, if the car doesn't go immediately into the garage she's usually on top of my case. If I don't put the garage door down, she's ALWAYS on my case, BECAUSE, don't I know that the black kids from up the street in Milwaukee are going to come and attack the car and the contents of the garage? And SHE thinks she's sensitive to race issues!
We've spent over $3000 on repairs to the body and paint in the past 3 years. So much money that last time I refused to contribute to the fix. I told her there is really NO POINT in repairing what she will only damage again in 6-9 months. She went to the Insureance last time, and they raised the annual charge, by $1000 I get that she CAN'T reliably back up the car.
BUT I also am very tired of being yelled at for leaving the car on the driveway and not closing the garage door.
Being borderline, I'm really on the verge of another episode of taking the scissors to my forearms
Building shooter perched on wasn't swept by US SS
The US Secret Service did not sweep the building from which the shooter in Saturday’s attempted assassination was perched, but instead leaned on local law enforcement to conduct security at that location.

Unfortunately when we don't have answers from others... we invent them.
And we invent them within from within our biases and interests. This is the way human brains function.
This produces fantastical speculations.
They fill the information void like junk food, taking up space but getting at little of real substance and value.
Few of us are in positions where we must urgently act within the void of information. What we need is patience.
Most of the answers we want will emerge in relatively short time from agencies and persons in positions to know the facts.
Yes, some questions may go without answers, maybe unanswered even forever.
I don't want to knock someone's No for Biden rep, but have you noticed
That most of these people have no real national reputation?
Is somebody doling out campaign funds for struggling reps that come out against Biden?
We thought when Facsism came to America it would be
wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.
Truth is when Fascism was welcomed to America it was facilitated through the voices and direction of FAKE wise guys like Carville and Clooney.
What the hell does Carville REALLY know??? Almost nothing for certain
What does Clooney know? Rather less than Carville
This crisis is ELITIST and I am done with it and the ELITIST DEMS
Some fraction of ELITE people think their minority of dems should make the decision about the candidate.
Well, THERE WAS A DEMOCRATIC PROCESS FOR THAT, which they apparently slept thru.
Now we've got the Cajun Copperhead and Hollywood actors fucking up donations to the properly and FAIRLY WON candidacy.
So FUCK YOU ELITE DEMS, and FUCK ALL THE DEMS WHO THINK THIS IS RIGHT.
I'm DONE.
For however many years I have, I AM VOTING FOR MYSELF.
SCREW THE ELITIST ASSHOLES
I hope you enjoy the FASCISM you are enabling
Last week I told myself the attack needed to be beat back by this midweek
There has been some success in that effort.
But because this went on and on, the bashing is slowly depressing Biden support. In any other year, the conversation would be about this being a close election year. But this year it's about ignoring the worst, most dangerous candidate who is a wannbe dictator ready to facilitate a second revolution by the rightwing pundit class. And the alternate 'gotcha' stories are about whacked out medical interpretations by media and frightened democratic candidates. That has become a bashing of the democrat because he 'appeared to be suffering chronic age-related degeneration' when he was actually, suffering acute symptoms from a common illness.
That bashing has by some interpretation eroded Biden's position in the polling by a couple percent. In any other year this would be overlooked as a consequence of the polling vicissitudes in a close election. But it's not just any other year, and the minimum impact is being interpreted as a harbinger of collapse of support for Biden. And it goes on.
And as Hitler's propaganda arm well knew, if a story, essentially a lie, gets repeated long enough and loud enough it spreads as and is assumed to be strong enough to function in the place of truth. And I regret feeling that things are reaching that point. All the defense offered, including quite competent presidential performance by Biden, hasn't placed the story in the rearview mirror.
With the RNC now days rather than weeks away, the MAGA propagandists will find more and more receptive ears among the media. Rather than exposing the unAmerican extremism of Project 2025, they are likely to continue on the path of misinterpretations of Biden's locomotor agility (short stepping, limited arm swing), and impromptu speech (being flooded by thoughts & ideas amidst an answer) that has been overlooked if not forgiven in previous presidents.
I'm not suggesting caving in. In the past week, BIden has looked competent, despite hostile interpretations. And we need to move from merely defending Biden, to a serious campaign against the radical often secular authoritarianism pressed on us by the GOP.
I am suggesting that everyone's consideration of Trump and the GOP love affair with cultural revolution needs to become openly hostile, and we need to be much more assertive in presenting the case of the clear and present danger. In the hybrid war of modern politics, we need to swamp the media messaging and build crowds of dissenting protestors projecting perhaps the most important alternate narrative since 1858. The GOP is out in the open about completing the final acts of the culture war, which intends to destroy the federal system as functioning government and establishing one-party, right-wing, authoritarian control of the nation in its place.
Remember Pres Clinton and 'triangulation'??
That as a campaign tactic in which you move toward your opponent's positions on issues in order to take away his/her voters.
How in the world would a Democrat triangulate on Trump? I can't imagine any dem moving close enough toward Trump postions to appeal to MAGA voters.
