It's in the context of how 33 states allow companies to require signing a promise not to boycott Israel as a condition of employment. This ruling says that is kosher.

Is John Mellencamp a Republican? I have no idea, but him mentioning pro-life makes me think so. He's right about all of it at least.

I remember that because at some point someone was crowing about how he was a socialist, so I searched to see if he had ever done anything with Bernie awhile back, but nope, lol, loving Bloomberg.

This is a pretty funny anecdote.

quote:

A 48-year-old Indiana man crashed his vehicle through the gates of John Mellencamp’s Bloomington residence in an attempt to place the rocker under citizen’s arrest. Robert P. Carter then gained access to Mellencamp’s home by kicking in the front door, and police later arrested him inside the residence.

Luckily, neither Mellencamp, 67, nor fiancée Meg Ryan, 57, were at the home at the time of the break-in.

What made Carter so angry that he felt the need to go all vigilante on Mellencamp? He apparently doesn’t see eye-to-eye politically with the “Jack & Diane” singer and was upset with Mellencamp “for supporting a government” that Carter does not.

My wife has watched most if not all of Handmaid's Tale, but she has an incredible ability to tune out all metaphor and social commentary from TV and movies so to her it's a just a string of events involving the same group of people. Honestly it's probably a healthy mindset to have for a show like that.

More broadly, I wonder if it's weird being an actor shooting a scene where you are torturing / being tortured by someone. Does it become awkward between takes, or when watching the final cut?

That guy seriously has his head in the sand. Young progressives turned out for Biden because he promised $2,000 checks, canceling student debt, prison and healthcare reform, and actually, y'know, doing poo poo, and he's failed. He can't even rally his own caucus because the progressives in the House hate him and the Blue Dogs in the Senate are jackwagons. And now he's presiding over a proxy war in Europe and trying to handle what's looking to be a recession potentially even worse than the Great Recession of 2008, if leading indicators are any signal. No poo poo young voters don't like him.

The funniest one to me is question #2 adds in strongly for / against and Biden's at 5% strongly for with kids. That's % of Dems that want to bring back slavery territory in polling. He's at 11% with white dudes

Spend two years not doing anything at all to make lives better for young voters, give them less money than Trump did, and then be surprised they don't like you? Like, pick a random issue that young leftish people care about, yes Trump or whoever can beat Trump in a primary will be worse, but Joe Biden hasn't done anything to make it better.

That guy's point is that biden's less popular among the youth than trump was at the same time in trump's presidency, that betrayal is more important than actual policy, and that the relentless negativity on social media is partly responsible for why the absolute focus is on betrayal.

I think he's absolutely right.

Rationally, biden is obviously less worse for everyone than trump, but we don't and never have voted rationally. Obviously, getting news from a variety of sources is better than getting news from one source, but social media presents the illusion of being source-agnostic and people delude themselves into thinking they're well-informed as a result.

The problem here is that he thinks this is actually a revelation, or maybe that he thinks pointing this out is useful. Of course it isn't. A president that wants the support of the left has to do more than just be better than the most disgusting republican ever elected; he has to actually fulfill promises, and speak to the left, and adeptly navigate the new media landscape. Biden will be a one-term president and will be abandoned by critical components of his own party and groups that ought to be his own supporters not because he's actually worse than trump on policy, but because he's an addled ancient gropey milqetoast dipshit centrist lacking the capacity to act like a leader in the 21st century, while trump was and still is an addled ancient gropey angry hard-right racist with an absolute mastery at using modern social media and aggressively, consistently, relentlessly appealing to his base.

Trump literally remade his political party in his own image. Biden hasn't even got an image. He's weak. Even the progressive youthful left hates weakness.

Also the “Trump was worse so he should have had better poll numbers than him” is dogshit. It’s much more disappointing to be let down by someone who nominally is on your side and not grokking that is going to be one of many fatal flows of the Dems in ‘22 and ‘24.

Social media is negative, partly due to algorithms feeding things, but also because that’s actually originating from, ya know, social sources, average people. Corporate media is not, and has an agenda much more sympathetic to Biden. Like, where does he think posts on social media come from in the first place, solely some conspiracy determined to undermine this administration?

The GOP will remake their party in whoever will win them an election. They have long-term, focused goals particularly targeted at remaking the courts. The Democrats, as a party, do not. It's not a matter of people hating "weakness." There is a reason why old-rear end Bernie Sanders and particularly first election era-Barack Obama resonated with voters: they were or appeared to be principled and genuine.

This is sorta conspiracy level poo poo, but the reason inflation is going up and especially gas goining up I kinda think is a combination of MSB being pissed at Biden for calling him out for assassinating a journalist then dismembering him with bone saws so he could be smuggled out of a turkish embassy in small bags, and gas companies just wanting the Republicans in power again so they can get another tax break.

So you know, it's cool we're gonna get a full on fascist government because of murderers and people willing to burn the world down for and extra 10% back on their income tax.
