US Foreign Policy 4.0: making the world safe to flee to if the MAGAts win here

Tried that. I was the chairman of the local Democratic Party and member of the county and state parties. I was planning a run but then this tumor invaded my brain and ended my political career.

Still a better candidate than Fetterman...

Don't even have to look that far.

The Tea Party did it to the GOP. Then MAGA followed up with a more compete takeover of the entire party.

The Green Party's failure wasn't inherently policy; it was procedure. It should've attempted to become a wing of the DNC rather than an independent party. We have coalition government in this country, the coalitions are just formed within the framework of the two major parties. You want to be a part of government, pick one and use their apparatus where you can.

Definitely true of the Tea Party, although in the process it got subverted. The Tea Party started out as grassroots and was then co-opted by the VRWC. MAGA started out as America First but was immediately sucked into the gaping maw of Reach Out and Touch Dump. (Now we see the America First OG's who swallowed hard and cashed in on that takeover trying to split off from Dump like life boats frantically paddling away before the wreck sucks them under too.)

The Greens were always fucked. We want to save the planet but not at the cost of our burgers, our cars, and our jobs. The goal of a huge groundswell of environmental passion was an elitist mirage of academics and wealthy dilettantes. The gen pop is living paycheck to paycheck; they don't give a shit about trees and rivers.

"I hate the people who tell you
Money is the root of all that kills
They have never been poor
They have never known the joy of a welfare Christmas"

We'll never save the planet unless it's an accidental by-product of some other advantageous advance. The people, as a whole, do not self-abnegate. They are selfish grasping apes.

Beyond that, if you want to change things, show the fuck up in the primaries.

Your argument is that voting blue no matter who in the general doesn't make a big difference.

Pretty sure we wouldn't be at war with Iran, fighting with the first American Pope, destroying the White House, dealing with aftermath of the DOGE fiasco, or generally worried about our President having dementia if people had voted blue no matter who.

But hey, I'm sure the Arabic community in Michigan has zero regrets for not supporting Harris.

You do remember that were no primaries for people to show the fuck up for in 2024, right? When they tried to raise their voices at the convention they were told to pound sand.

Israel-Lebanon cease fire came into effect 5pm ET last night. Israel violated the cease fire within the first hour.

Who could have seen that coming?

Have they really or is Hezbollah simply saying they have? I don’t have much problem believing they did, but AP is saying the ceasefire has appeared to hold.
 
Amateur.

That complaint alleges that Van Dyke moved $35,000 from his personal bank account into a cryptocurrency exchange account on Dec. 26 — a little over a week before U.S. forces would fly into Caracas and seize Maduro.

Van Dyke used more than $32,500 to make a series of bets on when Maduro might be removed from power, according to the complaint. He placed those bets between Dec. 30 and Jan. 2, with the vast majority occurring the night of Jan. 2 — just hours before the first missiles would fall on Caracas.

In the early hours of Jan. 3, President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform a photo of the now-captured Venezuelan leader, wearing a gray sweatsuit, headphones and a blindfold.

The bets Van Dyke made on Maduro leaving power resulted in “more than $404,000 of profits,” the complaint said.
