Apparently Moran called Stephen Miller a 'world-class hater'. Feel generous.
I personally don't see Miller as world-class at anything.

Let's be clear: these are NOT cities in crisis. These are politically motivated attacks, designed to move public opinion to support further domestic military action.
Which is illegal.

Would be nice if, instead of calling the use of Marines an "abuse of power", a phrase that can be used to describe legal actions, Newsom pointed out that usage of the military to enforce the law is BLATANTLY ILLEGAL.
Politicians are so inured to lawbreaking they don't comprehend the public care.

To be a scientist is to be a skeptic. RFK Jr isn't a skeptic. Skeptics accept theories that are supported by evidence.
RFK Jr is a man who consistently rejects evidence-based science.

Cowards are often the worst people. The word doesn't have any positive connotations.

Installing a lawless man in the White House continues to seem like a terrible idea.

A photojournalist lost an eye and suffered a TBI after being hit with one of those rounds in Minneapolis. She later developed severe dementia from the brain injury.

"Ackshually, the National Guard isn't the army"

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.

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.

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.
