They used to say that about Ohio. …before that Florida …before that Iowa …before that California ….way before that, Pennsylvania
Queue that XKCD.
Soon it’s going to be Georgia or Arizona And then Texas
I for one, can’t wait for the chili cook offs, and when all the candidates start wearing cowboy hats. The y’all’s will truly have it!
Sure I’ll give it a shot. Romney did Obamacare for Massachusetts, so a moderate republican may do OK with DHHS.
I’d also be OK with Federal Reserve, isn’t a republican currently serving in that role? Bernanke was a republican and he did alright.
Veterans Affairs possibly as well, if Kamala gave guidance.
But keep them the hell away from Energy, EPA and Education. Probably not DOT if we ever want a decent rail system too.
Didn’t Lincoln include members from various political parties? And he’s arguably the best president we’ve had.
It’s as if, and hear me out on this, there aren’t enough progressives alone to elect a president in a nation of 350+ million people.
I suppose it also tells the good guys too.
Hillary got buttery maled and blue walled.
She was exceptionally equipped and would have made for a fine president, after all, she was the one who advocated for Obamacare back in the 90s, (which you may know, was actually a republican plan first, back when republicans used to win New England states).
All that is to say, people like to think Hillary wouldn’t have moved the country to the left, but she most certainly would have. Her public perception may not have been as left as Bernie, and perception absolutely matters (see Joe B). However, like Biden, I think she had such control of the political machinery that she would have been much more effective at putting those plans to action.
The reason I say all of this is, some our most left leaning policies have been enacted by presidents who were elected from the center (Johnson, Clinton, Biden).
Sounds like Ol’ Sleepy Joe got to him. Get that fake handicap low enough Donnie, Joe’s comin’ for ya!

Read a book.
That’s cool and all, but if we’re directly correlating this, then I think it would be more like you drawing out the provinces in China or India.
China I could maybe get Manchuria, Inner Mongolia, Tibet kinda right, I’d try to get Guangdong, Szechuan and Xi’an, the rest I’m screwed (Heibei maybe? Guangzhou? Idfk). Perhaps I’d be better to stick to the 3 kingdoms.
India I’m much more screwed. Kashmir, North India, South India, Delhi, something called Gujurat maybe, Bengal, Pashtun?, Bombay, Goa? Throw the Ganges somewhere in there in the North and East…a desert in the west, North and South Mountains that are not called mountains? Now that I’m thinking about it, I’d probably draw it out as Kashmir, that big strip that hugs the Ganges and Himalayas where Delhi is, and Texas.
Could you imagine? All those sick people who would stop working til they die? Harumph.
Tell it to Kamala
There once was a guy from Cincy
He was donned the MAGA princy
Some people can vouch
That he likely F-ed a couch
Now it’s made the orange man wincy
Because it’s fore-fathers ya dolt! Do I have to explain everything?
I also appreciated this particular nugget in the article:
While Harris has not personally given birth, neither has any other occupant of the White House.
I agree with your sentiment, but I’m concerned that they’re putting all of their “faith” in a far right candidate. They’ve made her a cult of personality.
Russia was a colonial power, then it found oil.
There are also some justifiable fears that Australia is becoming a vassal state to China. I suppose one could argue that Australia was a colony (but I’d argue that the US was one too).
Just saying, it can happen to any country.
Resource curse is a MF. When your government is no longer reliant on its people to fund its political class, all sorts of short/medium term chaos ensues.
This isn’t to say that the US doesn’t have some responsibility in cases, just that the situations are incredibly complex annd it’s easy to scapegoat the bogeyman for all of your woes.
Interesting take, what’s your current thoughts on the Venezuelan elections?
Oh, my friend, I suggest you look into fugu, mad cow or chronic wasting disease.
It seems that your tribe and my tribe are not the same.
64000 people just donated over $120 million to the inherent nominee in 3 days, me being one of them. You call that corruption whereas I call it hope.
There’s a saying, around here people know it…some people over there may know it too… the enemy of my friend is my enemy, the enemy of my enemy is my contractually non-binding Diplomacy partner.
