  • It’s one of those things where we shortened a phrase and then it stopped making logical sense.

    “The three musketeers” werent just musketeers who carried muskets.

    They were “the king’s musketeers”. They were elite special forces as well as the personal bodyguard for the King. The best of the best. The “musketeer” part was the common bit, it just sounds fancy centuries later.

  • For Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential contender, it was a striking show of resistance from a flank of his own party over housing.

    Literally what trump is doing…

    People forget for decades trump was buddy buddy with all these “moderate” Dems.

    He didn’t give them millions every campaign cycle because he wanted to help people. It’s because “moderate” Dems are all giant pieces of shit. That’s why a bunch of them just endorsed Cuomo.

    Dem voters won’t vote for that shit anymore, regardless of if they should, they just won’t.

    So it’s fucking insane to force them into that choice again just to see who blinks.

    When all we have to do is run candidates that agree with their voting bases.
