          Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union the meaning has shifted from non-aligned to underdeveloped or developing nations.

          That or a reggae fusion band from Kingston Jamaica.

          Under the old definition, has Krasnov made the USA a second world nation?

      At this point maybe California should just become independent. Giving their money to states like Alabama is just a waste of resources.

      Any southern state really. Not one of them have room to talk. And for GA and NC I can say that from first hand experience.

        I was researching for a best man speech and saw that statistically West Virginia takes the title but hey, they’re close behind I’m sure [no pun intended]

        I’m an Okie. My great great grandfather raped and impregnated his daughter, which no one had a real issue with or did anything about.

        But you can be damn sure any gay man in eastern Oklahoma at that time was going to end up in a ditch.

    Fucking tuberville doesn’t even understand what the rule of law means. He thinks it’s people respecting police or something.

    Turns out people don’t like it when you kidnap their friends and family.

    Of course, perhaps conservatives don’t understand this.

      That’s because conservatives think they’ll always be the kidnappers.

      Imagine if Obama did this exact same series of events. He wouldn’t have gotten this far, because he’d be assassinated, or at the very least impeached, by now.

        Because the rules for conservative and liberals are very different.

        Democrats, by in large, respect the rule of law and their base will reject candidates that don’t. Conservatives simply want to be the ones giving orders and not necessarily following them. So the Venn diagram of mutual interests only intersects when a democrat does something that both sides disagree with.

        Republicans cry foul whenever a Democrat exceeds the debt ceiling but you don’t hear a fucking peep from them when Trump causes the national debt to lower our credit rating.

        We need to purge ourselves from conservatives. And the window to do so is closing quickly.

    Tuberville did accidentally make one valid point. The rule of law is indeed non-existent. Just look at that convicted felon in the White House and all the illegal stuff he’s still doing.

      If he were to get elected in 2028, the 2032 election is guaranteed a Nazi win with a leader that isn’t wholly incompetent the next time. No one should primary that shit stain.

        He wouldnhave ran the exact same campaign as Harris, who ran the exact same campaign as Clinton. Why do you think Newsom would do any better?

          Penis. He would’ve done better because he has one, and a non-negligible percentage of our voters are sexist.

            Biden was fairly popular in 2020 and only squeaked out a victory because the morgues were literally overflowing with dead bodies from COVID. Until the Democrats start advocating for total reforms, they will continue to lose elections.

          Assuming the exact campaign, which I’m not even conceeding here. What percentage of votes do you think a white male who hasn’t thrown people in jail for drugs as a prosecutor could have drummed up?

          I’m thinking there’s a 5 - 15% spread there, easy.

          He’s also got a lot more wit and charisma, so even the same “Trump bad” campaign would have been more effective.

          Honestly it’s charisma more than anything. JFK, Johnson Clinton, gore doesn’t have it, Kerry doesn’t have it, Obama has it, Hillary doesn’t have it, Biden doesn’t really but post trump litterally a walking corpse worked. Kamala doesn’t have it, and people have goldfish memories.

            Ok, but let’s not pretend gore didn’t win. It was just close enough in the final state that the supreme court gave it to Bush rather than keep recounting

            This seems a little begging the question.

            Even if it wasn’t, it’s a little damning to liberals who now seem to only like a candidate if they think they are “charismatic”, which seems suspiciously ill-defined.

    “Alabama has 3X the homicide rate of California,” Newsom wrote Monday in a post to X.

    “Its murder rate is ranked third in the entire country. Stick to football, bro.”

    Meanwhile, over here in California, kids are literate. Alabama can’t claim that.

    Fuck you, Tommy, you stupid piece of shit. I don’t love my gov (I quite dislike him, though he’s been all right in the last two days). At least his name doesn’t sound childish: Tommy Tuberville, the guy who held up military promotions because he’s a bigot. Get fucked, bud.
