part of this contested convention nonsense from the democratic pundit class is what happens when you've let never trump conservatives have a bigger seat at the table than your actual base
by choosing anyone other than harris to replace biden should he decide to step aside, the party would be revealing they very cynically chose her as veep for optics without believing she could actually be president.
@euronews: 🇪🇸 Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez seems pleased with the French (and UK) election results.
"There is no agreement or government with the extreme right," he said in a post on X. https://t.co/1BamVU5jTf
All of the people indulging in these fantasy Democratic primary scenarios think that people vote reflexively because it’s what they themselves do; they don’t realize that turnout is a product of hard work. Unseen, unheralded work. By unseen, unheralded people.
I don’t know why they think pissing off the door-knockers and canvassing power of the party will end well, but these people don’t understand what they refuse to see
Prosciutto, mozzarella, roasted red peppers & artichoke hearts & basil (instead of tomatoes for a caprese-ish salad). Can of tuna packed in oil, white beans, artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, red onions, roasted red peppers dressed with olive oil & lemon juice or red wine vinegar.

Two bags of microwave rice, frozen corn, can of black beans, chopped scallions. Microwave the rice, mix in the corn, beans & scallions (no need to defrost corn). Whisk together lime juice, cumin, olive oil and garlic and pour over warm salad.
Someone said recently that the “oldies” stations we listen to now as adults are probably the same ones our parents listened to when they were our age but they played the Beatles and Beach Boys instead of Bon Jovi and Def Leppard & I’ve been more depressed about my age.
"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!
The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared
Rich people are going convince everyone that AI should run their lives and then giggle with each other about how important it is that they get a “real” nanny to raise their kids
For those who don't know this story, which I first shared six years ago today....
This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.
Using “DEI” as pejorative is just the newest work-safe slur replacement for bigots to use to get off on the privilege of fake plausible deniability, tale as old as time
like I know I know I know the hypocrisy is the point but CHRIST when you start listing all the people who were forced to apologize to those fucking monsters for making a joke about what monsters they were, only to see them grow still more monstrous like “lol bitch what are you gonna do about it”
Jesus Christ…
But know that this is what they’re truly afraid of: Biden wins, but somewhere in his second term he has to step down and we get the first female president who also happens to be a black and Indian woman.
