sigh...
Shortly after Trump posted the video, Jeffries wrote on X, “Bigotry will get you nowhere. Cancel the Cuts. Lower the Cost. Save Healthcare. We are NOT backing down.”
We're in good hands folks. We've got the best slogan-writers and a pair of charismatic powerhouses making the argument for Democratic rule. Let's just sit back and let them handle it.
How can so much money and power flowing through the party that's home to most of the intellectuals and performers end up here? They got served a clownish post by their opponent, with centrist media outright calling it racist AI, and somehow I'm not sure who came out on top in the exchange.
"AI generated." Maybe the voice. The hat and mustache are hastily slapped on what looks like an existing video, same with Schumer. The lip syncing is all off. But I guess it could maybe be AI generated. Seems way more crude than all that. I could probably do this in Kdenlive in about an hour with the same source video.
You know, from a policy and leadership standpoint I can sort of enjoy the process behind working to combat racially prejudiced policy, adopting new and better cultural shifts in existing organizations, being able to foster real appreciation for the American ethos of appreciation of our neighbors, the real melting pot our society is.
Being able to meet someone where they are and enrich their lives through real exposure of different ideas, these their beliefs, and work with them to bring themselves into the modern world is an honestly wonderful experience. One of my favorite memories was a student I had helped to learn half a decades worth of missing reading skills. Young man went from constantly belligerent to anyone and everything around him, slowly to being self confident, more open with people around him, and just be himself. Sure, not the universal experience with the ignorant, can't teach and old dog new tricks and all that.
But this shit? It's just so deeply demonstrative of a small man.
Right? Can you imagine being one of the most powerful men in history and still being a petty, whiny little bitch? It's pathetic.
At this point a shutdown might be for the best -- keep them from changing a bunch of stuff in parts of the government where we aren't looking at.
That's one of the things that really has me nervous -- we're seeing so much crap that they are doing publicly that I am really concerned about the stuff we aren't seeing.
Unfortunately, I've heard speculation that they're forcing a shutdown as justification for martial law =/
I cannot think of any world in which there is any kind of logic that could even remotely justify such a move.
Then again, logic hasn't stopped Trump in either his first or second term....
Yes, Trump, keep directing the attention to yourself, giving the (more or less accurate) implication that you are the reason the government is shutting down.
Shut the shit down
He needs a distraction.
and Schumer will keep licking the boot
