I do wonder if we're going to see some websites popping up that kind of hit the reset button on social media and go back to smaller communities of folks with something in common.
I kind of miss the days of actually having online conversations with folks you know are real people (not bots), that aren't trying to be an influencer, or get famous, or some how many money off your interactions.
I tweaked. Many (most?) don't.
I look forward to hearing that Fetterman, Schumer and other spinless, feckless Democrats voted to confirm him.
You know what else would help? Annual (or more) blood tests during routine wellness checks with your doctor.
Do you know why most people don't get those?
~~Insurance won't cover them.~~ Many insurance providers won't cover them.
Maybe start there? Although I'm guessing he has no buddies who would make money from routine blood tests.
That really irks me is we basically have two styles of headlines right now.
The newer sites like Rawstory, Mediaite, New Republic, Daily Beast, and Meidas Touch all use this bullshit style of headline writing.
Meanwhile the traditional media sane washes the man and is equally disconnected from reality, but in the other direction.
At this point I'm wondering if there really was a ceasefire.
Everything this guy says is a lie until proven otherwise.
If I were a betting man, it seems very likely he just made the whole thing up. Perhaps he pitched the idea and was turned down by either Israel or Iran (probably both). Went to social media to proclaim his victory. Leading both countries to attach each other to show the whole thing was bullshit.
Let's not forget, he claimed he was the lynch pin behind the India and Pakistan ceasefire, only to have both sides say he wasn't involved at all.
If this election was held in 2023, you have to wonder if the outcome would have been wildly different.
For once, an encouraging sign for sanity and common sense.
This, in a nutshell, is what is wrong with the Democratic Party.
If one of these folks is your rep, CALL their office and ask them why they voted to table the impeachment vote, and let them know you're thinking seriously about not casting a vote for them the next time you have the opportunity.
Honestly, I feel like Trump and the GOP's strategy for a while now has been to do so much illegal, evil and heinous shit that the media and public just move onto the next thing.
Any other administration would have been brought to its knees by Signalgate. A few months later and the fucking Secretary of Defense is getting congratulated for not leaking military plans ahead of time.
IMO this is business as usual thinking.
The left needs to push for a vote to get Congress on the record where they stand.
And even if it doesn't pass, getting some Republicans to vote yes would be a big win and a first step towards checking TACO.
Here's a link to the two week super cut: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QtkcbjVf2bE
Basically the same tactic as China's "Final Warning."
EDIT: And another one from Kaitlan Collins: https://xcancel.com/kaitlancollins/status/1935880319028043795#m
Start with the 128 Democrats who voted with Republicans to table an impeachment vote this week.
