A major hurricane has formed in the Atlantic and is aimed right at the Caribbean. It's currently category 3, and expected to be category 4 when it hits the windward islands early tomorrow. The projected path after that is a worrying one.

Update, it's already become category 4, and the trajectory isn't looking good.

If we shut down the site for the next month, Pissrael will cease to exist

From this article:

One major Democratic donor and Biden supporter said it was time for the president to end his campaign. This person described Biden’s night as “the worst performance in history” and said Biden was so “bad that no one will pay attention to Trump’s lies.”

“Biden needs to drop out. No question about it,” the donor said in a text message, proposing an alternate ticket led by the governors of Maryland and Michigan.

It depends on how major we're talking, but if important donors are pushing for this there's no way it doesn't happen

I support NATOs war against Medicare. Medicare shouldn't have invaded the Free and Sovereign Private Healthcare Sector and their illegal invasion should be condemned worldwide.

The Atlantic is reporting that the debate was rehearsed lmao

Article

Yesterday I was thinking it'd be funny to say it was a conspiracy theory that all the late night talk shows were off this week so none of them had to try to defend bidens likely terrible debate performance, either alienating their lib audience or anybody who didn't think it was funny to get explicitly lied to in real time.

I am no longer joking when I say that.

Biden looks pretty similar to von Hindenburg at this moment

Brüning recalled that once the president came to meet him at the railway station, but failed to recognize him. On the other hand, Franz von Papen, a later chancellor, found that despite minor lapses the president remained competent until his last days. Hindenburg was persuaded to run by the Kamarilla, and supported by the Centre Party, the Deutsche Volkspartei (DVP) and the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), which regarded him as the only hope of defeating Hitler.

Hindenburg was 82 at that point.

We all know how it ended after Hindenburg was elected he let the Brownshirts back on the streets then he and von Papen did a bunch of hemming and hawing until they made Hitler chancellor and did pretty much everything Hitler asked for like dissolving the Reichsttag. Two years later the guy would croak and Hitler would take everything over.

Russia has reportedly shot down a NATO intelligence drone over the Black Sea in response to the recent attack on Crimea. Note that this has not yet been confirmed by either nato or the Russian MoD

Apparently WARNO has its "army general" mode (map painter campaign) now. One of the assumptions about a lot of war nerdery of the Cold War era was that the Soviets were primed for attack and would come rushing through the Falder gap. This justifies NATO, Western Doctrine, tank design etc etc. For instance, the chunky western tanks against the light long-ranged Soviet tanks clearly indicated the aggressive intent of the Soviets.

One thing that was never really questioned in all these fictional narratives (be they video games, Tom Clancy novels, or honest NATO wargames) was that it would be the Soviets attacking. Was this really the case though?

During Stalin's era, where this narrative begun even before post-war (and a pre-end-of-WW2 version shows up in the video game RUSE), we know that Stalin honoured the end of war peace agreements to the chagrin of, say, communist partisans in Greece. That, and Soviet society was exhausted. The Soviets had to be dragged into Korea.

(I fell asleep writing this and offer no new information)

I think Biden slipped in the debate that Iran's retaliation towards the assassination of Soleimani actually resulted in dead US troops instead of just "brain damage."

good thing about the debate is that even with "leftsist are small enough to never have their policies implemented but big enough to blamed for election loss" attitude, they would not dare to blame leftsists after this lmao

Hunter is the true successor to the throne

I’d like to see NYC-DSA actually try to test their influence in NYC right now by running Bowman as a write in candidate for the general. Obviously electoralism isn’t everything, but NYC-DSA has a reasonably strong ground game and mobilization in NYC and this is a real show-up or shut-up moment. As an organization that calls itself socialist, it can’t keep running candidates as democrats forever when the stakes have been raised to this point. The democrats have already proven they want to crush DSA and will throw as much money as necessary at the problem to do so.

NYC is a great place to try it if democrats really want such a dirty break with their left flank. Bowman’s district is the Bronx and Westchester, and a split vote could mean enough to at least make the Dems lose, which would be funny but also embolden left wing candidates/voters in one of the few places in the country that they command enough of the vote to change election outcomes.

Biden ain't winning now unless they rig the votes. Literally everyone except Hardcore Destiny like Liberals hate him.

Video of the bursting ~~through~~ the gates.

You've got like 2-3 dozen armed thugs in riot gear and one tricked out Jeep. The palace gates were so small you couldn't fit the jeep through.

What was the point of the jeep? Who was the dork in flannel "directing" the Jeep?

: The coup failed, quick say something to show that we were not owned!

Argentina's Foreign Minister, Dina Mondino, condemned the attempted coup d'état that took place in Bolivia today. In the post, she says that governments, whether good or bad, only change at the polls, and not with violent coups d'état. "Democracy cannot be negotiated."

Iranian authorities confirmed on Sunday that secret agents of the Ministry of Intelligence arrested terrorists who were going to perpetrate attacks in the context of the presidential elections:

Honestly, glad this coup attempt folded but why does coup attempts all around fail? Did boomer Generals refuse to teach how to do successful coup to younger generations or something?

This doesn't look good unless Wikileaks had already released all the good shit and he just has to destroy a bunch of pointless memos:

While the ~punditry~ New York Times Editorial Board calls for Biden to be taken behind the shed and put out of his misery, former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton have both made statements today laying down the party line in defense of Biden's candidacy.

Some exit polls from France from this round of voting

Things to note:

Macron and centrist in general have a huge demographic problem only getting 13% with the 18-34 year olds. It doesn't really get any better until they start hitting the 64+ year olds

Fascists doing well from 35+ onwards.

No idea what they mean with employee and worker so if someone wants to inform me on those categories but yeah.

Center really only did well with old pensioners.

As soon as the coup fails Hexbear dot net goes online again. Proof that Hexbear's servers are located in a secret base in Bolivia :evo:

Biden could shoot someone on fourth ave and not lose my parents' vote and even they were able to admit that that was horrible. My mom told me "he is so. fucking. old!"

We now have a category 4 hurricane and it’s only june

Big danger for the Antilles

So on another forum, some of the most consistently wrong and delusional neoliberals are STILL saying they shouldn't replace Biden.

Some choice quotes:

I think the argument that Biden needs to step aside is short-sighted. The Democrats have nobody with a strong public image that would garner the same voter turnout - replacing Biden this late in the game would basically be throwing in the towel and handing the election to Trump.

Yeah, it's simply too late. We're locked into this. If Biden stepped aside they would just nominate Harris since the DNC would have full control over who gets nominated (and she would also be president if Biden for whatever reason stepped down from the role before the election) and historically taking it out of the hands of the people like that has resulted in very lopsided elections. It's political suicide trying to avoid an impending political stroke. I can't imagine anyone being selected charismatic enough to get over the "political unknown" factor that will sway independents to hesitate or go third-party like how polls show that if Haley suddenly got the position Trump is in a large amount of people would switch to RFK due to unfamiliarity. Whoever was selected would have needed a primary's season to get their name out there enough for people to be on board and also need to be liked enough for that to matter.

Who could they possibly choose? It's too late to enter the primary, the DNC would certainly nominate Harris or Newsom, who both will not win against the GOP in a presidential election, no one in the House is notable enough to fill his shoes and the Democratic party would genuinely take their chances with a mob like on Jan 6th again than nominate a Jewish progressive who is against Israel's extermination campaign and has the heritage background to actually have a meaningful impact on public discourse and governmental action for that.

It's insane to expect Biden to be replaced, short of him dying he isn't going to be, it would be an insanely bad idea and would be the easiest way to ensure the Republican party wins the election.

If the DNC thinks like they do, Trump 2024 is locked in.

Bit idea: Respond to neolibs saying that if you don't support replacing Biden, you are voting for Trump.

There was a terrorist attack in Belgrade earlier today apparently. A cop was seriously wounded protecting the embassy form a weirdo that recently converted to Wahhabism.
