I didn't check, but that's from a Grindr profile isn't it?

Yes. It's how his boyfriend's friends found out he was cheating. Babeu's profile described himself as "loyal," among other things.

Honestly, if Obama distributed as much incriminating poo poo as he could to as many agencies as he could on the DL before leaving office, that was probably the best thing he could have possibly done. Any outward showing of resistance or concern about Trump would have resulted in nothing but him getting destroyed in the press and would have been dismissed immediately.

I disagree completely. I think now is the time for an identity crisis. We have absolutely nothing to lose, and if we want to make a comeback, we're gonna need to make some changes. If there was ever a time for introspection, it is now.

If some faction or philosophy manages to drive out Trump, there will be incentive NOT to figure our poo poo out, because that faction or philosophy will be ascendant and you don't want to gently caress up a good thing. Better to get our house in order first, and make sure that the ascendant group is a good one that can last and accomplish great things rather than just whoever managed to scramble to power first and then say "now is the time to unite around me, not question me."

It's almost like Trump is intentionally picking the most hosed up candidates possible. I'm not sure how he could do this bad otherwise. Like there is always one that is a fruit case in the prior R/D administrations, but not 50.

just do the things that look most interesting and never do anything that you don't think sounds fun. there's more content than you could ever want and they let you do all of it in a single playthrough for some dumb reason so you'll never lock yourself out of stuff. do what seems fun

Look, this is the fourth time you've found me spattered in someone else's urine with no clear memory of how I got here.

a big chunk of the left spent years in the expectation of complaining about the dems being corporate shills for four to eight more years and then trump rolled in on the fascism train and they haven't adapted yet, half the takes are still 'look we know trump is basically Mussolini but DEMS R STILL BAD GUUS' and they're kinda right but we have bigger problems rn
