J.D. Vance’s memo and intensive scrutiny of President Biden’s ambassador nominees reflects his view that cultural elitism has infected America’s diplomatic corps and needs to be rooted out through extraordinary vetting efforts, said U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
I am truly baffled by the leftists itching for a broken convention. They seem to think they’ll get a president to the left of Biden and not Michael Bloomberg.
I am learning now that the movie definitely discusses that extreme weather has been and will be getting worse, it just didn’t literally say the words “climate change.”
I am begging people to stop turning everything into a series of shibboleths.
Lee Isaac Chung’s dumb comment aside, I’m not sure I understand the desire to have Twisters mention climate change. Needing a movie to confirm what you already know to be true is sophomoric.
I wonder how much of the Biden dropping out shit boils down to the idea that people are looking at goofball Trump and wondering why they aren’t winning by ten points, we SHOULD be winning by ten points, how can we not be????and brother that’s a bigger question than Joe Biden
Most of the elected representatives are soft pedaling this, but there have been several stories of megadonors promising to shut off the spigots. And I can’t imagine those promises aren’t weighing heavily on the electeds’ minds.
A bunch of mega donors loudly proclaiming they’re going to destroy the Democratic Party if Biden doesn’t step down isn’t really a choice but an ultimatum.
The kind of mass deportation Trump/Vance promise ALWAYS involves mass death, kidnapping & de-nationalization of citizens, turning sweet kids into traumatized orphans & wrecking communities. ALWAYS. It’s a crime against humanity and they’re running on it. Unfathomable cruelty: that’s their promise.
If Biden thinks he should step down, then I think that’s for the best. But at the moment, he doesn’t. And nothing over the past 3 weeks has convinced me that the people most loudly calling for Biden to step aside would simply get behind Harris.
I stumbled onto the debate a vegan subreddit where they were trapped in a trolley problem of their own creation over whether killing invasive lanternflies is Vegan.
I don’t understand how any progressive or leftist can think setting the precedent that donors can overrule primary voters is a good idea. Even grading on the American politics curve, myopic in the extreme.
