the mainstream media has been steadily buying into the idea that science and academia are somehow "captured" by left and liberal ideologues, rather than the more obvious explanation that measured analysis leads people away from reactionary thought

Wouldn’t be surprised if this is faux outrage, choreographed to obscure the fact that Chump is working for Putin.

Funny, they all seem to have the same “build” as trump.

Baby steps. We still need support in the house to pass the bill, then more support from both houses to override a trump veto.

Only they’re not going to give it back to the people who are hurting, they’re going to extend tax cuts for the rich.

22 Republican Senators recently voted to support Ukraine. It’s possible, I can only hope the conversations are going on in the Capitol.

Unfortunately, kinda like the Ukraine war was started by, and is being waged by, one man. Time to wake up folks.

Progressive, independent and conservative intellectuals (excludes MAGA by definition) should convene a Constitutional Convention and start the conversation. We need a clear path forward to reclaim the trust of the world.

If my math is correct, it will take 3 Republican Congressmen and 18 Republican Senators to cross lines. This is the quickest, constitutional way to end the shit show. The Dems should promise primary support to any who vote for impeachment.

Hate porn for the cult. They will create campaign ads with this shit and a third of the country will love it.

And amend the Constitution so that this shit can’t happen again! Citizens United, Electoral College, term limits, expanded House representation, gerrymandering… the list is long.

Yes, I think that’s part of the plan. The other part is, claim the tariffs made so much $ that he wants to “give it back to the taxpayers.”Unfortunately, the tax breaks will go to the 1% and the “tariff revenue” was actually paid by US citizens, not foreign companies. Petty sick…

He’s going to claim the tariffs brought in so much $ that he’s going to give it back as a tax cut. Of course the tax cut will go to the 1%, but he’ll lie and the base will believe. Side benefit, his buddies get to pick up some cheap stocks along the way.

It is stunning when you think about it. People have debated whether or not a “Hitler” could come to power here. We now have the answer.

Another question for “representatives”

I’m tired of the media saying that people are being “grilled” by congress. There’s no grilling, just lying and filibustering. Get rid of that stupid 5 minutes for each questioner and keep them there until they answer. Didn’t Hillary have to testify for like 13 hours at one Benghazi hearing?

20 years of Fox pushing fear and loathing. Rupert Murdoch can’t die fast enough.

Question for those who use Signal. Do you need to have people in your contact list in order to invite and add them to a chain? Especially if it was just his initials? If so, didn’t Waltz claim that he didn’t know Jeff Goldberg?

I’m not deliberately missing your point, I’m asking you to explain it. Hope is not a strategy. If you are really want to parse the word “recall” then I will explain that I “recall” learning about General Lee’s motives. I was assuming that you “learned,” and might recall the same. My bad.

Are you suggesting that capitulation of law firms, universities and the military is somehow strategic? If so, please explain.
comment in response to
post
Once again, I hope you’re right but I see no evidence of what you speak. Can you provide some evidence, or demonstrate some level of expertise in this area? What I see is very disheartening. You will recall that in 1864, General Lee was one of the most respected officers in the US Army.
