It might be that there's simply fewer republicans now since they, sadly, were disproportionately affected by covid. Their vax-less "freedom" might have backfired as well


Will be very hard for Trump to see of DeSantis as the GOP candidate. Trump lost a general election already and DeSantis won a supposed swing state by roundabout 20 points, and there's another hurricane heading there, and DeSantis fucking loves hurricanes.

Would not bet on Trump right now.

But even if it's DeSantis, the midterms tell us that far-right GOP candidates aren't the shit right now, so in a general election the Republicans really should run a moderate if they want to win. It's just that they kept skewing the primaries towards fringe candidates, so not sure if they can nominate a moderate. Interesting times.

Considering the shit show that recent elections have been, that's kind of encouraging.

Still not great times, but you know. Considering many of us were ready to write American democracy's obituary, it's pretty good.

Trumpism brother. Any form of rejection of this destructive belief system is very welcome. I was just reading Rip Van Winkle recently as well as the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I mean, this is a criticism of the American society dating 200 years back but still rings true and Trumpism embodies all the worst aspects of it such as anti-intellectualism with the fake news bs, rejection of fact and a president who has the mental capacity of a 3rd grader, an attitude towards learning/intellectualism as something outside of mainstream society..

The absolute state of the GOP right now Laughing

They were elected to govern from the House yet cannot even choose their own leader.

I don't really like Hakeem Jeffries, but it would be hilarious to see him become Speaker of a House his party doesn't have majority control of.

This is kind of good? I hope the 20 holdout republicans remain holdouts and force the Republicans to vote in a boring centrist with some dem support.

I hope this also causes moderate Republicans to recognize the whole MAGA, Tea Party etc. crowd in their own party as hostile actors.

I may be uninformed, but why did they shoot the balloon down? Couldn't they just drone it down and see what it was?

Unless they wanted to use it for leverage.

How would you take it down safely? it's the size of 3 buses and weighs about 500kg

Anyhow they can probably tell what it was and what information it was gathering by the remains alone

I love how they all make fun of Biden for being senile and yet he's sharper at 80 than all these tools sitting in there
