"Ackshually, the National Guard isn't the army"
- useless media

The phrase 'raises questions' does feel unnecessarily and inappropriately neutering

The media complex plays a vital role in keeping the public informed about what's going on.
The news media is failing.

You should clearly point out that Trump's attempt to federalize the National Guard is not only "unjustifiable" but also illegal.
And that his intent to use the military to conduct law enforcement violates the Posse Comitatus Act.

Oh, definitely. I could not get through half of the first Den of Thieves movie. Pure propaganda.

Strong agree. They police should have no problem identifying the shooter here.
This man is mentally ill and needs to be stripped of all duty and prosecuted.
comment in response to
post
If anybody cared, it should be possible to identify the shooter.
He should be tried and imprisoned just like any civilian who shot an innocent civilian.

Let's not forget that Trump isn't sure that upholding the Constitution is part of his job.

The Confederate flag(s) have the unique position of inherently rejecting the US Constitution.

Curious if you've ever studied fallacies.
In any case, since we live in a nation whose President wants the military to fire on leftist protesters, I think it's important that you complain publicly every time somebody blocks you on social media.

Sadly, this narrative carries a lot of weight in terrified MAGA gated communities.
It's incumbent on the anti-Trump faction that we push back on his lies, constantly.

Not at all a suspicious account passing on Russian talking points.

The same dynamic played out a few years ago, and it's inevitable as long as the media is willing to amplify lies.
Pretending protesters are violent is a MAJOR part of the fascist playbook. So if protesters won't oblige, the fascists will just lie.

Nothing says serious like attacking core Democratic values.
I wonder if guys who type crap like that comprehend that Bill Clinton won 43% of the vote in 1992. Absent Ross Perot driving his campaign directly at HW, Clinton might well have been routed in a 2-man race.

I remember when Coursera didn't suck.
That was before the time you refer to.

Well over 80% of Americans think they are in the center.
Including a healthy number of people with radical ideas.

Wow.
Guess he's going to found the 'everybody is wonderful' party.
The problem in politics is that the parties accurately reflect an existing cultural divide. And, if anything, Musk's side (the billionaires) is overrepresented.

That's the thing about abstract thought. I really does require very advanced reasoning.
LLMs are little more than glorified pachinko machines. They have their place, but their place is manning the help desk, not trying to do physics.

I disagree. This is pathetic cosplaying.

Oh, he's being tried for a new set of charges. The case is so flimsy that the local US Attorney resigned rather than bring charges.

It's essentially impossible to sue a prosecutor for defamation.
And it certainly wouldn't get far with this SCOTUS.

The behavior of looking for candidates who are "safe" shows fear and lack of understanding of the public.
And it's a huge problem that so many self-styled advisors actively undermine the candidates we get. There is no pride in what the party represents. They are embarrassed to represent Dems.

"You didn't vote for me so you don't get any federal money!"
comment in response to

No, the problems the Dems face right now are not "because we weren't friendly enough to RFK Jr".
Quite to the contrary, Ro!
Please stop validating a guy who is intent on destroying American medical research.
There's a thing where consultants think only in one dimension. And Ro is doing it.

Vehicular manslaughter is a far more reasonable conclusion than "how dare the parents let their children go outside alone!"

Don't you have to be in power to be any kind of *archy?

Imagine thinking voters want "a fight with the left" when the right is actively dismantling the country.
More support for the theory that the great purpose of "centrists" is not to hold power themselves so much as to keep the left out of power.
comment in response to

Do you think that the Democratic Party is run by people who want to be in power, or who are happy to collect pay checks and let the world go by?
Here's a hint: anybody who prioritizes trashing leftist positions while Trump is literally fascist is not on our side.
And a lot of them are registered Ds.
comment in response to

Huh?
Seriously, it takes some real contortions to think that a comment trashing "progressive" think tanks is actually a defense of Democrats.
I mean. Wow.
Who do you think works at these places?
comment in response to
post
Oh, these think tanks exist. As psy ops. They even have 'progressive' in their names. And they're funded by people who are happy to see Democrats stay out of power.

Maybe they should start by actually opposing an unpopular President?
