Sure, it would also be probably one of the stupidest options available to them…

Good point

Thanks Bethesda…

JD Vance? Is that you?

Listened to an interview, shortly after Binden stepped out, with a young Muslim Dem guy who was trying to drum up support in the DNC. He, and the people working with him, were really concerned about the alienation of the Muslim voting block. From what he was saying, it seems the community would usually vote Dem because the GOP are really hostile towards Muslims. But most traditionalist Muslims are hard C conservative, and on the surface level have a lot in common with the “Evangelical” nutjobs that seems to be running the show. He found some success in gaining wider support, but not enough to get a stance change on Gaza or to try and keep the Muslim voters with the Dems.

All that said…it wasn’t, according to exit polls, the Muslim voters that really killed them on this run. The biggest shift, from what I understand, was with the Latino community. And you might think “Well shit, Trump shit talks Latinos all the time, he’ll there was that shit he was saying about Puerto Rico not too long ago!”
But with any large and generalised community, there’s a lot of “in group hatred”. There’s always going to be an “other.”
“So what if Trump hates Puerto Ricans, I’m Cuban, his hate of this group won’t affect me…”
And this is how leopards ate their faces.
It’s the human condition to focus on the bad bit that’s most recent and to assume that you’ll be doing great in the future…

Ah, yes…the old “leopards are eating people’s faces, but how was I supposed to know that it’d be my face?” bit.

Hamas

Trump’s victory puts to test his earlier statements that he can stop the war in Gaza within hours, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told the Reuters news agency. The Democratic party’s loss is the natural price for its leadership’s “criminal stance” towards Gaza, Abu Zuhri said, adding that “we urge Trump to learn from [US President Joe] Biden’s by

Yeah, that’s not gonna go the way you think it is…
If they thought the arms shipments coming in before were fucking their day up…

The only reason Israel might not glass Gaza when Trump takes power is that they want to move people in after the “unclean” have been erased.

Trump’s ambiguous stance on Russia’s war in Ukraine and his critical view of NATO burden-sharing raise concerns in Europe about future U.S.-Europe relations.

Absolutely nothing ambiguous about it. Everyone knows where he stands. Exactly where every lapdog stands, behind and slightly off to the side of their master…

If they’re not rounded up and shot…

I agree with everything except that last bit:

Fuck em all of us.

The splashback on this is going to hit everyone. I’m trying really hard not to be alarmist, but what happens with the American government literally has ramifications for everyone. We might not feel the hit right away, but the ripples will lap your shores too…

Oh it definitely will. Just his tariff plans are gonna turn everywhere into a 3rd world country, not just the republican backwaters.

Fair dues

I mean, based on his first go, if Trump gets in… that’s…uhhhhh…not gonna happen.

Yeah I tried ghost archive and it came up with nothing more than what’s on the site itself

LINE GO UP! ENDORPHINS GO BRRRRRRRRR!

I just recently started getting mystery pain in my balls, unfortunately for me there doesn’t seem to be any physical signs. No inflammation, no infection current or past, no kidney stones. Best the GP can figure is it’s nerve related. Kinda felt like someone had my jewels in a vice grip, then occasionally would let go so they could give em a really hard punch. I say felt because the GP put my on nerve pain meds that seem to be working. Takes the edge off anyway. And they are an antidepressant as well, so my nuts hurt, but at least I’m in a good mood.

I had a dentist in Canada tell me all my front teeth needed to be removed, implants for the top and dentures for the bottom. I was 27. I’m now 38, still have all of those teeth he’d said needed replacing. The next dentist I saw was absolutely floored when I told her what he’d advised me to do. And if he hadn’t been such a condescending asshole, just a little bit more understanding that not everyone can afford consistent dental care… well…I’d probably have gone and had him do it.
