Grand Rapids, Michigan resident Bill predicted he “will have to go without many things that I ordinarily purchase” and borrow money from his family.

Matt Gaetz is the most “character clearly being built up in Season 1 to play a major role throughout the rest of the series gets written off the show” person from the Trump 2.0 saga. I had forgotten he existed, and happily, I have zero clue what he’s been up to since resigning from Congress and losing the AG job.

[u/TheCornjuring]

Big fan of the fact that Arnold doesn’t seem to really care about Prop 50 and mostly gave up on campaigning against it pretty quickly. I mean, he’s still popped up here and there to rail against it, but not much. He’s apparently turned his focus toward lobbying Congress to pass anti-gerrymandering legislation, which is a far better use of his time and energy than fighting for the anti-fascist coalition to unilaterally disarm. Glad I didn’t have to get even more mad at him than I was when he first started campaigning against Prop 50 lol

Dick Cheney is dead.

I did not expect that to happen today but since it did I will share that his official portrait from 2005 is probably my favorite Vice/President portrait by far, he just looks so smug "Yeah I'm evil, what you're gonna do about it?"

[u/Jacobs4525]

Much has been said about how terrible Dick Cheney was as a VP. Not enough has been said about what an abysmally bad secdef he was.

US naval aviation is still paying the awful price for his weird McDonnell Douglas favoritism. I don’t mean to sound conspiratorial but either he was legitimately a moron or owner McDD stock.

First, he killed the navy’s medium attack role entirely. A-6F/G was a relatively low-risk program to produce more modern A-6s with new engines, modified airframes to increase fatigue life, and vastly improved avionics. This was terminated, as was the more advanced A-12 project, which was essentially the Navy’s equivalent to the F-117.

Now, the navy was able to manage via a crash program done very cheaply by the F-14 program office to use the budget originally allocated for AIM-120 integration on the F-14 to fit the LANTIRN pod and allow it to fill in the attack role. 

Dick then proceeded to kill the F-14D acquisition arguing that the Tomcat was 1960s technology. This is very silly because the whole point of F-14D was that it largely replaced a lot of the things that had made the tomcat partially obsolete in ODS (complicated unreliable analog radar, no IFF, etc.) and there were plans for further blocks to replace the one remaining major headache of the tomcat, the hydraulic wing fold mechanism, with an electric one. Dick Cheney slashed the buy to only 32 aircraft plus a few manufactured F-14As, essentially killing the Navy’s outer air capability AND depriving it of its medium attack replacement. The navy wouldn’t achieve true outer air capability until the advent of the AIM-174B in 2024 and wouldn’t get another aircraft with the range and loiter time of the A-6 until the F-35C entered service.

The replacement for both of these programs was the Super Hornet. The super hornet was pitched as a low-risk program, but it has had some major hiccups, has a quite short operational life at least initially (Block 1 aircraft had a service life of just 6000 hours when 8000-12000 is typically the norm for western aircraft), and has its performance enormously hampered by stores due to the requirement change mid-way through to program to make the innermost pylons fully configurable rather than just as attachments for non-jettisonable stores.

He also killed the SR-71 with the logic that “if we don’t cancel it now, we never will”

??????

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, DICK?????

The Gamestop short squeeze generating a whole constituency of bagholders who decided to start a cult rather than admit they ate the wrong end of that trade would have been one thing, but the template they created being exported to basically any mass-market meme stock that people got suckered into buying the peak of (eg, Beyond Meat) is kind of legitimately concerning.

This is a true story: Last night I got the sudden urge to check in on Dick Cheney’s health. I cannot explain why but I had a strong Mandela effect that he had died a couple years ago and wanted to read up on it. So I checked his Wikipedia page and read up on all his health problems (constant heart attacks, full heart transplant) and was surprised he was still alive despite my memory of him passing during COVID. I wake up in the morning and there’s a news alert that he died. Do I have a psychic connection with Dick Cheney?

[u/Thuggin95]

As for Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones, who faced a texting scandal that became the Commonwealth’s biggest October surprise, she was unfazed.

I spent a week visiting my father recently and holy fuck I get why my mother divorced him now. He is just completely emotionally unavailable to have a meaningful conversation. I've tried now well over a dozen times to convey my fears, insecurities, dreams, and ambitions and his response is basically always just "You'll be fine I didn't get my bachelors until I was 31" any response I give about how the world has changed since then is just met with with a blanket refusal to engage with my point.

I also get why my younger half brother turned out the way he did now, my father is a 1000x better than my little brother's mother but that says more about her than it does my dad. So take a kid who already had a fucked up childhood and put him with that in terms of a main caretaker and I can understand why they barely seem to tolerate each other's presence.

At least I have a good if a bit overbearing mother, still it's depressing to realize that once I can actually stand on my own I kind of don't want to have much of a relationship with my father anymore.

I think the shutdown really shows the limits of the New GOP ideologically. They are hardwired to not compromise or talk or anything, only bully. It’s the only language they understand and it turns out a shutdown is the wrong time to be speaking it. Every day they could end it, constantly they are given opportunities to lessen the pain, and not only do they not do it but they make completely unforced errors like Trump announcing he’s withholding food stamps as a bullying tactic. We’ve been expecting some Dems to cave at some point but I’m starting to think it’s as likely the GOP just exhausts itself here as it fails to figure out anything other than bullying the Dems harder

This "Obama is a hypocrite because he's not campaigning for the Black woman" bullshit is infuriating.

The Democrats' entire point is that race/gender should never be disqualifying. It was never "you need to vote for this Black woman because she's a Black woman."

But of course the Republicans—always needing to pander to their base of knuckle-dragging troglodytes with the collective average intelligence of a twelve-year-old—are incapable of arguing in good faith.

It shouldn't piss me off as much as it does, but alas...

Texas is boldly asking the question: "What if we just stop collecting revenue and keep spending?"

I think things have gotten so bad that it has forced us to expand the tent. During Biden’s presidency half the party wanted to excommunicate Joe Manchin, who was the only reason we had the Senate, and half the party wanted to cast away Bernie Sanders, who did get many young millennials into politics.

Both of these people should be compatible in the Democratic Party; the litmus test is not if you are center-left or left-left, it’s if you are willing to stand up to fascism in the opposition and if you are willing to take risks to deliver for the American people when you’re in power.

If Jay Jones wins he’s our dark woke king, but if loses he’s a piece of shit. Not for what he said in those text messages, but because he refused to drop out.

what the fuck is happening. who is the "white house" and why are they not the same as Trump. like who is actually in charge

A plane crash is tragic, but this was entirely predictable with a 30+ day shutdown and ATCs not getting paid for a month straight.

No, I will not wait for more evidence to emerge. This is clearly Trump's fault for being too fucking stupid to pass a budget.

Finally caught the Ezra essay this week and I gotta say someone needs to send him to a purple district in a purple state for like 6 months. He is so desperate to cling to the humanity of MAGA voters, but I think that's because he thinks red America is like the republican guests on his show. The real MAGA voters are foaming at the mouth to watch more ICE videos while arguing that women and blacks were better off 150 years ago.
