So this is the type of thing the second amendment was invented for, right? Just checking.

My stance on the second amendment preventing tyranny was this 7 years ago. It is unchanged.

Bernie's Town Hall in Omaha on Friday.
Spoiler: Unlike the recent Republican Town Halls, nobody was booing him.

I mean I'm with him on all points, except the union point. Don't get me wrong. I voted Bernie when I could. I don't like unions, but I love this man and I don't think there's anyone who better supports America. This man might be the only person I could point to and say yes, this man. This is why.

It's genuinely baffling to see even the people who generally understand Trump's vitriol shrug and pass his comments about Canada off as a joke. Motherfucker has been serious about every single hateful, harmful idea he's spewed forth, whether he decided to say them straight or pretend they're jokes for a bit first. He legitimately has designs on taking over Canada, the same way he really does intend to stay in power past the 'legal' limits, and deport everyone he can, and punish his enemies, and everything else he's said he'll do, and it's exhausting listening to even the people who don't approve of it also go out of their way to dismiss or minimize how serious it is.

Maybe it isn't realistic, maybe he'll be talked out of committing resources to it somehow, but can we at least not pretend that it's an overreaction to take his threats seriously?

He doesn't *have* a sense of humor.

So, the CDU got most votes with at the moment 28.5% that means that Friedrich Merz will be chancellor. But with 20.5% for the AFD, a win of 10.4%, the result of the election is nothing to be happy about. Forming a working government with the other parties that will get seats in the Bundestag will be hard.
