If Harris or Buttigieg is the candidate, I think the dems will probably lose. They just don’t have the right charisma. They look wimpy.

Only until they walk on stage, grab Trump / Vance by the nuts, then squeeze and twist until they’re bawling on camera, cue the mob turning on them.

If only that would happen.

Interesting:

She had her chance. She needs to sit 2028 out.
It was literally an emergency because of Biden at that debate. She was so much a “last minute” option.
But who can the Dems “develop” now as a viable candidate?
Sadly, Gavin Newsom is probably the most viable candidate at this point. And frankly, that just sickens me.

Mark Kelly, Senator from Arizona, former astronaut who is married to a victim of gun violence, who reminded members of the military that they can refuse to follow illegal orders from their Commander-in-Chief, and currently has a lawsuit against Pete Hegseth for trying to strip him of his military rank and benefits. I think he can appeal to both conservatives and liberals (and maybe some non-MAGA Republicans as well).
-
Yeah, Kelly could be a good choice.

Senator Kelly sounds like a good choice (Provided he doesn’t restart building Sentinels 🤣)
Still… it comes down to US voter mentality, mindset. I’ve read and posted the gist of books and essays on the subject and this pic mentions education:

I would definitely vote for him.

Even by 2026 standards, this is goddamn nasty.
The CNN account of the online how to commit rape and monetise with video broke, involving thousands of men using their girlfriend, partner or wife as a commodity, and bragging about it online.
It is every bit as goddamn awful as you may wish to imagine and then some.

Argos is a radio show/ podcast in the Netherlands
Wow, that’s weird they branched out to that from the shops they have over here.

There is a bit of a backlash against metoo stuff here in the Netherlands. A Dutch singer, Marco Borsato, who was on trial for sexual assault of a minor and who was acquitted was on tv again for the first time in years, trying to do a come back. Some people firmly believe he did nothing wrng, this despite certain clear established facts, like he apped an underage girl about masturbation. In the trial it sort of didn’t get proven definitively that he did things which can be described as sexual assault, but it’s clear he’s a pervert who was hanging around girls of the “Epstein age”, like 13-14-15, way too much. And yet many people say “oh, that’s not so bad. He should be welcomed back to resume his career”. Makes me sick.

It’s so fucking hard to take these people seriously, because they are such fucking idiots. But so were the nazis, of course (with a few exceptions).

This is probably my fault; just the other day I saw a cigarette display in some shop and said to my UK cousin “I’m surprised people still smoke, knowing what we know about the health risks.” Maybe my cousin has a connection with the NHS.

Our billionaire* background-in-financial-trading chancellor has just told us that we shouldn’t expect to be able to live off pensions when we’re retired but that those will at most be a small part of what we will need. He didn’t mention where people should get the rest of the money for their old age from. I truly think he just doesn’t understand why everybody doesn’t do what he does, just buy stocks for a few thousand Euros a month for yourself and for your kids to make sure your future is secure.
*Okay, so is only a millionaire.

A soldier who made 400K on Maduro’s capture:
I guess profiting from insider information is okay only if you’re a member of Congress or a member of Trump’s family.

US military strategy assumption:
Our enemy will only engage us in battle when they are technologically adept enough to do so, but where we retain technological advantage.
Cue an Iranian F5 bombing the crap out of a US base in Kuwait, using old bombs Patriots do not seem to recognise.
People are aware weaponry doesn’t become inert over time, right? Every so often in the UK and Europe unexploded WW2 bombs get found.
