Cory Doctorow with a nice piece about the asymmetry between the Republican party's fear of its base and the Democratic Party's "balance the parts of the coalition" approach and how that approach by the Dems undercuts the Dems themselves...

Gonna get me some popcorn.

Music and people holding up their hands like a religious service. Not weird at all...

Since Kayla posted them in the erotic art thread and I see no reason not to have a thread dedicated to something so pretty...

As people have pointed out more than once, Trump as a martyr is much better for the GOP and the Conservative Movement power brokers than him running again is. (Or winning.) Putin, MBS, and others who have invested in him also have to consider whether or not he is more valuable dead than alive...

A thread for Johnny Larue. (But anyone else who wants to participate and speculate about a third party can put their prediction here.) Just to keep things somewhat on track, I am going to put down some ground rules for "significant" here. Significant in a presidential run: - 5% of the popular...
