If these elections do show a backlash against the Trusk regime with Dems winning in red and purple areas, NOW is the time to find, recruit and support true progressives to run in the primaries and primary the usual spineless Dem candidates from their left.

The climate is ripe for taking control of the Dem party and completely transforming it over the next few election cycles**, just like the TEA party did to the republican party. Don’t sit and wait while the same old Dems easily win their primaries–challenge and replace them with better candidates who will fight for us.

** subject to continued existence of free and fair elections

The system changes you; you don’t change the system within.

And yet the magats did–they completely transformed the republican party–by getting their candidates “within” it. They started with the TEA party which didn’t try to get elected running as a 3rd party, which is impossible, but ran as tea party republicans. They made sure there were tea party candidates in every repub primary they could, running to the right of the “mainstream” R candidate. They won many of those primaries simply because it’s the activists who turn out for the primaries while most ignore them. Then in the general they won because republicans vote for whoever has the R by their name without thinking about it too much. This moved the R party to the right and drove out R moderates. Yes there were some losses because of the R being too far to the right for the general, but overall it brought the R party to what we see today.

Cancel the entire dinner.

It would be more effective to threaten sanctions if the US proceeds if the goal is it to deter them, then if it doesn’t work, you impose them as punishment and a bargaining chip to get them to pull back.

Good grief, why compare it to a mango of all things that would be around that size?! Just say x in. (y cm.) Besides, their size isn’t exactly uniform. Per Wikipedia:

The fruits may be somewhat round, oval, or kidney-shaped, ranging from 5–25 centimetres (2–10 in) in length and from 140 grams (5 oz) to 2 kilograms (5 lb) in weight per individual fruit.

That’s quite a range. And BTW is coming up with objects to compare things to a job position that exists? I want to apply for that. You’d spend the day browsing databases of things by size and picking out the weirdest ones.

American representatives were seen walking around the city, canvassing residents to see if people would be interested in a visit from the vice president’s wife.

Shouldn’t they have done that before they scheduled the trip? Could have saved themselves the embarrassment. This reminds me of Vance’s trip to the donut shop during the campaign.

The next big one is Hands Off on the following Saturday, April 5th. It will be in every state capital and major city.

Everyone knows that. The point is to create a deterrent by making it clear that they are 1) taking the threat seriously and 2) already preparing and planning to defend, IOW not fucking around. Sending some extra troops to the island and/or flying some jets around the area on a regular isn’t a bad idea either.

You don’t seem to be getting the point of this thread.

NATO countries should put out a statement that they are ready to defend Greenland from any incursion.

I don’t want my state to join Canada (it’s a red state far from the border), but I want to immediately move to one of the states that would be joining Canada. So I think the poll results would be even higher if the question was asked in a way to include people who would answer like I did.

Good times.

This explains why September, October, November and December no longer correspond to the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th months. When they took out logsday, everything shifted.

Not a weekday, it was a mid-week break day off.

Because the DOJ who would charge them is being run by the same criminal mob.

“I’ve been seriously considering moving to Peru if they deport her, nothing is for certain yet, but it is in the back of my mind,” Bradley Bartell said.

Bold assumption that she’d still want you, the guy who betrayed and continues to betray her, especially with that “maybe I’d consider moving to be with her” shit attitude.

“Why is everyone in MAGA going after Waltz when it was @PeteHegseth@SecDef that sent all the classified stuff?” posted former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), a longtime conservative critic of the president.

Why not both? Or all for that matter. They were ALL violating the Federal Records Act, a crime.

Oh. Well if it hasn’t started hurting after that much time, maybe you’re OK 😄

They were a bit vague, I think because they don’t know whether Waltz personally set up the chat or had someone under him do it for him. Either way he’s the participant who is responsible for the invites. I’d just like more details on how it could have even happened that JG was added.

So many questions. Did Waltz (or underling) think the initials represented someone else they meant to add (and if so, who)? Did they just fat finger tapping on a list of names? Or maybe carelessly re-used a name list from some previous chat that JG was in? If it was an underling, did they know who JG was and deliberately added him in to leak the illegal avoidance of the Records Act that’s been going on? It’s all just so weird.
