"The whole reason for these kicking-and-screaming posts is to continue trying to be “right” online. Dems didn’t cover themselves in glory, but anyone posting like Jane did help influence the macro environment for swing and normie voters to stay home or vote Trump bc Dems were seen to be “feckless”"

"Touring the world, a young John F. Kennedy was disturbed to find that America “was definitely classed with the imperialist powers of Europe.” Like Wilson, he paid lip service to the anti-colonial spirit and, at his inauguration, pledged support for the Third World “not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right.” The Bay of Pigs was three months later. Kennedy agonized over the failed operation to overthrow Cuba’s Fidel Castro, but he quickly made peace with cloak-and-dagger imperialism. His CIA engaged the Mafia to kill Castro (1960); urged a military coup in Brazil (1962), which would bear fruit two years later; helped apartheid-era South Africa locate and arrest Nelson Mandela (1962); and supported the Ba’ath Party in overthrowing the Iraqi government (1963) and crushing its communist opposition. In Vietnam the once anti-colonialist Kennedy first supported Eisenhower’s handpicked dictator, Ngo Dinh Diem, then facilitated a coup against him in which he was subsequently killed. When Kennedy was himself killed, a few weeks after Diem, so profligate were his shadow wars that some close to him believed, as Malcolm X said, that the chickens had indeed come home to roost. “Bobby Kennedy himself suspected the killings might be the work of the CIA, the Mob or Castro,” writes journalist Vincent Bevins in his book The Jakarta Method. “Vice President Lyndon Johnson’s first suspicion was that it was retaliation for Diem’s murder.”"

High Noon has been cited as a favorite by several U.S. presidents. Dwight Eisenhower screened the film at the White House,[10] and Bill Clinton hosted a record 17 White House screenings of it.[30] "It's no accident that politicians see themselves as Gary Cooper in High Noon," Clinton said. "Not just politicians, but anyone who's forced to go against the popular will. Any time you're alone and you feel you're not getting the support you need, Cooper's Will Kane becomes the perfect metaphor."[31][32] Ronald Reagan cited High Noon as his favorite film, due to the protagonist's strong commitment to duty and the law.[33]

And again, the fact that you centrists will all be like, "Yes, of course Piker needs to be cast out!" while none of you say a goddamn thing about Mona Charen, the author of the article you're praising, being an overt anti-trans bigot, tells me everything I need to know.

kevinbaker: "you are responsible for every possible way your words may be interpreted" is an expectation, I think, that no one would want applied to themselves, but it seems to be becoming normal on this site.
That awful Sky account saying "this is the skeleton key for our age" and then it's a forum post about how pre-internet, if someone wanted to "fuck a toaster" they would be set straight by someone calling them the r slur
Jake Grumbach saying that neoliberalism causes fascism but then questioning whether it's inevitable, then suggesting it's a positive that neoliberalism "writes everything down" by having a constitution that constrains the commoners while letting the powerful run free. This is better than fascism which is roughly the same except that it isn't actually codified.

"If we had to go to war, which we didn't, I'd feel a lot better if there weren't nothing but posers in charge. Trump. Hegseth. Gabbard. Not to mention, he gutted the military of most of its senior leaders. Oh, and Israel's first strike was against a school. At least 26 kids dead. Way to end a regime."

From the Lead Belly wikipedia page: ""Stay woke" In possibly the earliest audio recording of the phrase, Ledbetter urged Black listeners to "stay woke" in the spoken afterword to a 1938 recording of his song "Scottsboro Boys". The song tells the story of nine Black teenagers and young men falsely accused of raping two white women in Alabama in 1931. Ledbetter warns his listeners, "So I advise everybody, be a little careful when they go along through there—best stay woke, keep their eyes open.""

A liberal asserts that Gavin Newsom is actually pro-trans despite his rhetoric because he's signed 47 pro-trans bills. Someone else points out that those bills passed the legislature with a veto-proof majority. The liberal responds with an animated gif of Adrienne Brody asking, "...and?"
"The successful effort to force Biden out signaled to elite media that they had a veto over Democratic Party primary voters. Whether they successfully exercise it or simply try to in 2028 is an open question but bet your sweet nippy they’re going to try."
