Green jobs are gay jobs.

Now that's just demeaning to gays.

Gays at least produce copious quantities of semen, which is something, in stark contrast to green jobs which overwhelmingly produce nothing other that research duplicating results found decades ago about tech which was already discovered and found to be neat but unable to scale outside a lab.

But why is favorability so low?

Look at the last 24 hours and you’ll see why Dems are losing it. Trump bombed Yemen and is clearly starting another Middle East war. An easy winning talking point. Instead they decide to whine about South American druggies getting deported and somehow lose the day.

It doesn't matter. If they're brown then you can't point that out. You must accept them by default. They could be harming your family and you're expected to cheer. You can't notice that they're criminals, it's racist to call them criminals (after all, "no human being is illegal"). You are expected to pay for their misgivings, because a hundred years ago some Germans did a heccin genocide.

Every single sin the nazis committed the allies also committed, the only differenc is that the allies got away with it.

Putting 'zero-sum mindset' on the republican side when it's dem's refusing to capitulate with the administration preferring complete and total gridlock to what they see as complete moral failure is pretty funny. This is so laughably pathetic, and as usual I'm not reading all those words.

So why aren’t they doing any of that stuff in the countries and states they control? By this logic housing should be cheaper in California and Ontario than say Texas and Arkansas.

Well OBVIOUSLY it's because TRUMPLER won't let them! Somehow! But stop noticing things.

All that’s required for the Alien Enemies Act to take effect is a threat. Venezuela has threatened the United States before, even if you don’t consider TdA its own government, which in the context of 18th century sensibility it would certainly be.

I just don’t see that in any of Trump’s justification. His argument is that TdA is tangentially linked to Venezuela and that Maduro’s been charged with narcoterrorism in 2020, meaning that TdA’s criminal actions amount to an invasion of the US.

I fail to see the causal chain. If Trump had some information on Maduro planning to use the drug cartels to run some kind of Opium Wars shit, then there’s a link.

But why is favorability so low? What issues specifically might your party's base be having with what your party is screaming about? Come on, say it, we promise we won't call you some kind of -ist or -phobic for pointing it out.

Some of it probably isn't so much policy as it is lack of results. Usually the screaming and whining gets results and that's not happening. Even when they do get some victory, it tends to be temporary or gets overwhelmed by multiple other losses that accompany it.

Think about it. Is the bugman bureaucrat upset at the Democrats because of their policy positions that enable his parasitic way of life to continue or is it upset at the Democrats because they're not doing enough to let them continue engaging in it?

Bronze Age Pervert, if I recall correctly, also makes this comparison. Hopefully that puts you at ease.

The Democrats are fucked right now, and they need to figure out how they're going to cut the Gordian knot they find themselves in.

Their popularity is tanking, but it's not as clear-cut as that article implies. It's not just tanking because "democrats want them to stake a stronger stand against trump", it's also tanking because a lot of their policies and behaviors are reprehensible and wildly unpopular even among many of their constituents. Supporting violent gang members being allowed to remain in the US in a blind "all anti-immigration stances are bad" backlash, or going full-steam-ahead on the "men in women's sports" thing even as it's demonstrated time and time again that the result is neither safe nor fair. Coddling people like Mulvaney who make even honest trans women recoil in horror, and putting up with the recent "trans women are biological women" nonsense from some of the radical trans activists.

But if they try to step back to regain their more moderate supporters, they're going to lose their activist and radical supporters - as we've seen when they dared to even suggest they might not be entirely on the side of the Palestine protestors.

Right now, there is no winning move in the game for them.

Here's a interesting question.
If you were in charge of the DNC, what would you do to try to win 2028? do you stick with Moderates? lean harder into the left?

 

[CharlesBarkley]

If you were in charge of the DNC, what would you do to try to win 2028?

Drop troons. Kill troons. Throw all troons in a garbage can.

Tell progressives to eat shit. Remove IDpol and quit saying white man bad. Tell niggers that law is back and remove limp dick DAs, promise a less crime riddled America. Focus on labor and middle class. Remove sanctuary cities and tell blacks that illegal tacos are taking all the jobs. Promise no more global adventures and state a focus on removing corruption.

Also I would have a candidate with really huge boobs and was hot.

Literally just drop all the gay shit they attached to themselves since Obama. It's literally that easy. But they can't, because they allowed to the sickness to spread, and now 90% of their team ARE those gay shits.

Trump commented about the State of Canada again today:

NBC News is confused by this.
Trump's quest to conquer Canada is confusing everyone (Archive)

Video transcription:
We've been ripped off for years, we're not going to be ripped off any more. I'm not going to bend at all on aluminum or steel... or cars. We've been subjected to costs we shouldn't have been subjected to.

In the case of Canada we are spending $200 billion dollars a year to subsidize Canada. I love Canada. I love the people of Canada. I have many friends in Canada. The "Great One" Wayne Gretzky! Hey! How great is Wayne Gretzky. I know many people from Canada who are good friends of mine, but you know the United States can't subsidize a country for $200 billion dollars a year. We don't need their cars, their energy, their lumber. We don't need anything they give. We do it because we want to be helpful. It comes a point where you just can't do that. You have to run your own country.

And to be honest with you, Canada only works as a state. We don't need anything they have. As a state it would be one of the great states. This would be one of the most incredible countries visually. If you look at a map, they drew an artificial line right through it; between Canada and the US. It just goes—straight artificial line. Somebody did it, a long time ago... many many decades ago. Makes no sense. It's so perfect as a great and cherished state. Keeping O' Canada, the national anthem, I love it, I think it's great. Keep it!... but it will be for a state. One of our great states, maybe our greatest state.

Why should we subsidize another country for $200 billion—it costs us $200 Billion dollars a year. And again, we don't need their lumber. We don't need their energy, we have more than they do. We don't need anything. We don't need their cars, I would much rather make the cars here. And... there's not a thing that we need.

Now, there will be a little disruption, but it won't be very long. But, they need us. We really don't need them. And we have to do this. I'm sorry we have to do this.

If I were the supreme despot of the DNC I'd try dragging the party back in time a few generations with some changes here and there. Win back the blue collar union demographic from trump by actually appealing to their concerns instead of the patronage used for the union bigwhigs and lip service for the rest, curtail migration, economic protectionism, make actual efforts at boosting anti trust regulation, and purge the progs from the party. Issue is with all American politics corruption and patronage is rampant so purging those elements from the Dems would turn scorched earth.

The twisted thing is that they have the basic template for another workable direction they could go in the form of sanders. Especially recently since he has been spitting some facts out since I think he's realizes he's to old for president and has been cucked by his own party too many times

 

[MembersSchoolPizza]

I hear this complaint a lot. I don't see or hear from Elon at all. I see Trump giving daily pressers. I hear from the DOJ and FBI heads. I watch congressmen and senators giving speeches.

The problem isn't Elon, it's you. You are watching things and then getting upset that you're watching them. Change the channel.

Elon has kind of Trump's problem - he speaks first, before he sometimes has all the facts. He's very self-assured, and sometimes he says dumb things and just plows ahead with them, not waiting for anyone to point out he's being a dumbass.

Hyperloop, anyone?

But I still think he's doing more good than harm.

The president is using his authority granted through the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport foreigners. However, the Alien Enemies Act states that it can only be used when the United States has declared war against a foreign nation or government, or when the United States has been invaded by a foreign nation or government.

Problem is that Tren de Aragua is not a nation or government. Trump tries to justify TdA being a government by suggesting that the Venezuelan government has ties with a different drug cartel which coordinates with Tren de Aragua to flood the US with drugs. All that somehow means that Venezuela is ordering TdA to invade the US, so it is legal to arrest all TdA members in the US and deport them.

His justification does not make any fucking sense. Tren de Aragua is not acting on behalf of Nicholas Maduro to destabilize the US. They are here, abusing loopholes in the immigration system, to sell drugs and engage in criminal behavior.

Therefore, Trump has no way to use the power of the Alien Enemies Act to deport these criminals. There could be another way, perhaps by Congress passing a law that allows him to extradite known members of foreign criminal organizations. He could order the Department of Justice to prioritize the conviction of illegal aliens, provide state and local officials more resources to speed up prosecutions.

There’s a lot that he could do with his power as the Executive, but the power invested in him through Alien Enemies Act is not one of them in this situation.

Oh well, too bad, he's doing it anyway, fuck 'em.

I'll go to the mat to criticize governmental overreach normally... But not when it's literal violent gang members that don't belong here in the first place. If there were justice, we would just shoot them and save everyone the money.

Personally I believe Trump doesn't actually want to annex Canada. The Canadian shit is something deliberately outrageous and salacious that the media and reddit retards will oy vey and fixate on distracting them from the stuff Trump is doing regarding mass deportation and DOGE.

It's a deliberate distraction ploy and it's working because journalists are fucking stupid.
