And that's if we start flying right and STAY flying right consistently.
We get another MAGA in office and I will agree that the damage will be permanent.

I believe it's misplaced optimism to count on them to save anyone, including themselves, from anything.
This.
This is what I was just saying.

Last post by Doktor Howl - February 19, 2026, 04:09:57 PMQuote from: Pergamos on February 08, 2026, 05:55:34 PMQuote from: Abbot Mythos on February 03, 2026, 11:05:51 PMNovember 7th, 2028 is a long way off, and a lot is going to happen between now and the U.S. Presidential Election. But, at the time of this posting, I think James Carville knows what he's talking about:
The Democrat James Carville thinks is worth watching in 2028 will surprise you
"Carville says Kamala Harris 'has no chance' in 2028 Democratic primary"
As per this article:
"Asked about whether he could see Harris as the party's standard-bearer in 2028, Carville responded, "She has no chance."
Harris replaced then-President Joe Biden as the Democrats' 2024 presidential nominee after Biden dropped his bid in July of that year, a month after a disastrous debate performance against Trump. Harris ended up losing the general election to Trump, who narrowly swept all seven key battleground states.
"No Democrat wants anything to do with anybody that had anything to do with 2024," Carville emphasized, as he reasoned why Harris couldn't win the 2028 nomination. He also questioned whether Harris, the nation's first female and first Black vice president, had the ability to energize the Black community if she launched another White House run.
Carville said that the Democrats' mantra heading into 2028 is "just win," and argued that "if we nominate two white males, nobody's going to give a s---.""
And, I couldn't agree more.
The candidate's race and gender matter a lot less than their positions. If we nominate Newsom and Buttigeig they'll repeat Harris' losing strategy of attempting to pursue GOP voters while ignoring progressives and the left. At this point a candidate that campaigns on cutting off Israel, and dismantling ICE can win, one that supports genocide and retaining the American Gestapo isn't going to be able to out fascist Vance, or whoever the GOP puts up, but they will be able to alienate a huge portion of their base.
My preference would be for a working class patriot who wants to take down the pedophiles and the system that enabled their predation. I haven't seen a candidate like that yet, but I'm sure there are some out there. I know that would resonate with not only the left, and the mainstream Democrats, but also QAnon types and a lot of the folks who voted for Sanders and Trump, or Trump and Mamdani.
Mind you, it's an easy mistake to make. The stay-at-home lefties are worthless. They're not going to shift their arses to vote under any circumstances because nobody can be good enough for them.
They have failed to realize that voting is a strategy, not a marriage proposal.
So if you have to ignore someone - and let's be realistic, you do - you ignore the people who are too busy clutching their pearls to fill out a ballot.
Quote from: Faust on February 10, 2026, 07:19:19 PMBeing black and Asian American is dismissing the fact that she represented "more of the same" an outsider would have had better odds
How has that "outsider" thing been working so far?
I think I've had enough of outsiders. The whole outsider thing is playing right into the dumbass fallacy that "Everyone else's job looks easy," and while it might help get elected, you wind up with shit like we have right now, at this moment. Alongside shit like DOGE.
Watching the administration having to rehire 80% of the people they fired has been nothing short of hilarious, especially since only half of the people came back.
Now I agree with cutting the deadwood (Schumer, Jeffries, etc), deciding that we need some dumb fucking dark horse populist will at best change the brand of the dumbassery. Which accomplishes nothing at all.
If it were up to me, we'd run Mark Kelly for president and either Buttigig or AOC as VP. I don't particularly like Mayor Pete on account of selling out his demographic for a chicken sandwich, but he would be an effective VP candidate.

So, as this season slowly winds down, chill out for the day, and use it to prepare yourselves for what is likely to be a memorable, historic Season of Discord.

Aneristic Illusions / Re: The Republicult™ On Parade
Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 17, 2026, 03:02:22 AMWARNING: ARTICLE CONTAINS PHOTOS YOU MAY BE UNABLE TO UNSEE!
Here's a man wise enough to have learned from the mistakes of other contractors who have worked for the POSOTUS, and his Republicult™ worshipers:
'It's not leaving until they pay me': sculptor holds Trump statue hostage
"Alan Cottrill created an 18ft bronze capturing the moment the president survived an assassination attempt. He says his patrons aren't paying up"
As per this article:
"In a foundry in the hills of Ohio lies a colossal bronze statue of President Trump that was recently coated in gold on the orders of a consortium of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs.
It is a work of art by the sculptor Alan Cottrill showing Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, standing and punching the air moments after he survived a would-be-assassin's bullet.
It is also a hostage.
"They said: 'Oh don't worry Alan, we'll pay you, we'll pay you,'" Cottrill said of his patrons, a group of 16 cryptocurrency enthusiasts who commissioned the statue to honour President Trump.
But just as Michelangelo sometimes found himself funding the redecoration of the Sistine Chapel, Cottrill feels he has been carrying the cost of an enormous sculpture of Trump."
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Last post by Pergamos - February 16, 2026, 03:52:45 AMQuote from: Abbot Mythos on February 13, 2026, 01:42:01 AMI've never see, or heard of anything like this every happening in any state:
Only Republican Disqualified From Senate Race in Democrat-Led State
As per this article:
"New Mexico will have no Republican on the ballot for the U.S. Senate race after GOP candidate Christopher Vanden Heuvel was disqualified for failing to submit enough valid signatures to qualify, New Mexico's secretary of state press team told Newsweek."
And, as per further along in this article:
""I am writing to inform you that you did not qualify as a candidate for the office of United States Senator, pursuant to the express requirements of the New Mexico Election Code," a letter obtained by Newsweek signed by Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver sent to Heuvel.
The letter continued, "To qualify as a candidate for this office, a prospective candidate must submit a declaration of candidacy and the statutory minimum number of nominating petition signatures at the time of filing."
Oliver said that after review, the office determined that he "failed to reach the required 2,351 signatures in accordance with NMSA 1978, § 1-8-33.""
Now, perhaps requirements like this vary widely from state to state. But, requiring only 2,351 signatures to get a candidate for the U.S. Senate on a political party's ballot for their primary election sounds to me like a really low bar to jump. (Although in my state it's only 2,000 signatures, a $200 filing fee, and signatories must be members of the candidates political party.) Yet, the Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM), couldn't qualify a single candidate. Not one.
Weird, New Mexico is pretty purple.

Barack Obama Says Aliens 'Are Real', but Not in Area 51
As per this article:
"The exchange occurred during a "lightning round" portion of Cohen's interview, where the journalist prefaced his question by noting the rare opportunity to speak with a president of the United States. Cohen asked directly: "Are aliens real?"
Obama's response was immediate and unequivocal: "They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in, what is it—"
Cohen interjected: "Area 51?"
"Area 51," Obama confirmed. "There's no underground facility, unless there's this enormous CONSPIRACY (Emphasis mine), and they hid it from the president of the United States."
Cohen then asked what the first question Obama wanted answered when he became president. Without hesitation, Obama replied: "Where are the aliens?"
The exchange ended with laughter from both men as Cohen repeated, "Where are the aliens?"
And, never let it be said that Former President Barack Hussein Obama doesn't have a sense of humor.

Last post by Abbot Mythos - February 14, 2026, 04:09:12 PMFebruary 14, 1929 - 'Merican Organized Crime Committed the Saint Valentine's Day Massacre
Seven members and associates of Chicago's North Side Gang were murdered in a garage, with 'Merica's iconic Thompson submachine guns, and a shotgun.
The murders have been widely attributed to the Chicago Outfit, headed by Al Capone. However, although several investigations took place, and suspects were arrested, no one was ever charged, or convicted for committing this brazen, high profile, criminal act.
Happy Valentine's Day.
