If someone is upset after all these years that a Democratic woman replaced the lecherous Al Franken, then it says something about their own character.

I thought we completely destroyed their nuclear capability already. The President told us.

this is what awaits us if we fail to crush Platner in the primary, "oh the party of Nazi Tattoos has something to say?" every time forever

Yep, things that we used to take for granted will no longer be available.

I have selfish reasons: I would rather not die of malaria or yellow fever.

The other technology I would "invent" is mosquito control (cleaning up standing water and putting oil in it). But I probably wouldn't make much money doing that.

I think I would probably try to sell my idea to some existing factory owner if it ever happens to me.

Trump thinks he has a strong mental model of Iran:

- 80s guy loathing of the Ayatollahs (could imagine him in an Ayatollah Assaholah shirt)
- "The Persians are great negotiators" - something he said a few times in 2015.

Just kick Graham Platner off the primary ballot. Normalize political parties having a say in their nominees.

02.03.2026 20:40 ๐Ÿ‘ 2 ๐Ÿ” 1 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

My contention is that within 5 years, Platner will caucus with Republicans. White nationalists aren't Democrats.

In general putting LLMs in conversation seems to work quite well. Very human--"let's brainstorm together."

Platner will eventually caucus with Republicans. Don't say you weren't warned.

Going to be unpopular on BlueSky but I share this view. That said, Trump choosing to go to war at this time and in this manner, for vague goals and without congressional approval, is both unwise and unconstitutional.

It really didnโ€™t fully hit me until I read this that I understood that the appeal of candidates and public figures who express a bit (or a lot) of bigotry is similar. It comes across as meaning they are being their authentic selves. dsadevil.blogspot.com/2026/02/the-...

Meanwhile, platner and only one of the two parties flirts with white nationalism. Vote accordingly.

You can see it with Vance: economic issues are driving political divides less than they did in previous generations.

Someday a Sen. Platner will caucus with Republicans.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Painted bike lanes are bad, protected bike lands are good.
