Can't believe you would compare our brave boys in blue to such swine and filth as ejected Huckabee Sanders.

Gotta expect that sandbox games set in the present or future have to include 'summon riderless vehicle to use as an improvised explosive' as a feature.

I think about this every time this discussion comes up; it's the missing piece every time.

Kamala did a better statement than him so he needed to up the ante.

Insane that the rest of them won't even take the easy layup.

I don't understand. The audio is clearly the host of Better Offline but the image is The Smiling Man.

I think we also tend to assume that the Operator-Brained police officers cosplaying as soldiers on our city streets are interchangeable with soldiers themselves.

Poor Mexico, so far from God, and so close to the United States.

Democrats have done poorly lately with the Latin vote and the obvious way to win them back is to scold anybody showing solidarity with Latin American countries.

For better or worse, 'libertarian' is not a political identity that people won't take seriously. A lot of the same people mocking and blocking her have been reposting the Cato Institute's immigration lead on this very site. But, as you say, that's just the comforting lie she tells herself.

But who will write the memes?

It's hard to say what we should prefer to see succeed: an anti-authoritarian protest movement, or the personal brands of a surfeit of politics posters.

We're going to post a photo of two of us sitting on the Capitol steps in the format of an album cover. True opposition.

It's hard to explain but millions feel Andor is their spiritual grandmother.

Of course you do, you're in the habit of surviving.

The longer the silence the more powerful the eventual raising of the voice becomes. Well unless you wait until it's too late, but there's no way they'd do that.

Gotta call up the Opinion section of the Washington Post and give them something worth publishing.

Once U of M laid down their marker THE OSU knew they'd have to go big to stay competitive.

Feels like at some point 'you can't articulate negative things about the people who work in the administration while covering it' has to run up against 'the people who work in the administration factually believe things and behave in ways that merit negative description.'

The way to counteract the dip in recruitment is definitely to tell people they may get the opportunity to train for weeks in order to spend an entire day kissing the president's ass in DC while their friends and neighbors protest. What patriotic child doesn't dream of such a day?

The lesson of 'First they came' is that saying nothing is a viable strategy, worth pursuing. It worked very well for the poem's narrator until the final line, and our Constitution guarantees us that this time the poem will end earlier.

Don't overstate it; what happened to Sarah Huckabee Sanders was a much more shocking breach of comportment.

Yeah, looking at it again this is actually pretty clearly presented as a corollary to what Klein said; I shouldn't have attributed it to Klein.

Yeah it's related to the trick Ben Shapiro pulls where he remains 'calm' while arguing to remove somebody else's civil rights.

If it works he shouldn't bother waiting around for actual confrontations happening in the streets; he can just announce that 500 antifa were summarily executed in Washington Square Park or whatever.

'Kamala 2019 treatment' is losing badly on the merits.

If you had read my post you would note that I said I routinely vote Democrat, and I did again in this election. Since you're not really engaging with my point and clearly delusional about the amount of carnage Biden enabled, I think I'll break off here.

That neither party would accept any pressure to halt or prevent a genocide is not, perhaps, the own you think is.

I know it's just gutter racism and I shouldn't humor it, but using 'language group' as a euphemism when speaking to a successful writer in, and native speaker of, the relevant language is very *interesting* to say the least.

Yeah, and it doesn't help that we're at an all time high point for people posting shit like this in earnest.
