You know spotlights can be moved, right? They can be aimed. There are people who own and control them? Before you give Elon “credit” for putting this story in front of it, ask around and find out who aimed the spotlight away from it. They are probably right down the hall.

Going to be embarrassing when Dems find out the could have had universal healthcare if they had just called it the Marvelous Medicare for Mankind Amendment.

Workers who don’t have to take all the shit owners feel like dumping on them? Total non-starter.

If moving to the right to capture the center worked, it would have been captured by now. If you’re still chasing the snark after 30 years, maybe it’s time to reevaluate.

Are they adding lanes? It always ruins the vibe when you’re stuck in traffic on the way to the Danger Zone.

They will all have a chance to vote for it again if the Senate changes it. Which I imagine they will.

Yeah, but compromising with criminals and bigots was the price for keeping conservatism competitive, so what other choice was there? It was either this or let the libs go unowned.

There is, but that would involve alienating big money donors, so Dems won’t touch it.

More mealymouthed garbage from the NYT. The beacon hasn’t dimmed, it’s been extinguished and replaced with a “keep yer forin ass OUT” sign.

A lot of extremely wealthy people decided that the public that was taxing and regulating them had to be stopped by whatever means necessary. Buying all the media and hiring vandals, thieves, and the best bald-faced liars to burn it all down was the means necessary.

“In-group that the law protects but does not bind, and out-group that the law binds but does not protect” has replaced the constitution.

I feel the same. It’s a lifetime of reading science fiction, I’m sure, but that doesn’t make it better.

Fortunately for them, it’s not the DOJs job to defend that criminal, it’s the Supreme Court’s.

Personally, I’m ok with letting it ‘die’ as long as I can get some confirmation that it won’t become ‘undead’.

Devolve into petty kingdoms, each claiming the mantle of God. All desperately lying louder and louder.

The want to be the Gestapo, without the negative repercussions of having been the Gestapo. The want to have their cake and stomp it into the curb, too.

So my choices are 1 Wingtop Wingman 2 Sherwood Forest 3 Gestapo Cosplay, and Winter Galoshes. What about that blue zipper one, why doesn’t it have a number? I want that one.

Lots and lots. They made so much money they could afford expensive PR firms to convince economists they should shift the blame to whatever invisible appendage was nearby.

Good example of letting the perfect shitting on the poor be the enemy of the good shitting on the poor.

When rich people spend a million dollars on propaganda, they get back two million in tax cuts. It’s an investment. Left propaganda has no such inducement. Raising money for higher taxes is just not going to be a winning message to donors.

If Ed Martin had said “reap the whirlwind” he would have totally intended it to incite RW violence. Hence, the confusion. Left violence is apparently WAY harder to incite.

I want to hear more about these “core values” they claim to have. A top ten list would be great. Also, some verification that you know what “core” and “values” mean.

No reason? Obliterating the systems and methods we use to determine truth in order to protect the wealth and power of those who depend on lies is certainly evil, immoral, and the antithesis of weal, but it is a reason.

“Intelligent people are full of doubt, and the stupid ones are full of confidence” Therefore, assuming you’re high enough on the corporate ladder that you have to make decisions, the intelligent people are weeded out. Once you get to the top, there are none.

When you have the entire right wing media proclaiming that Biden is a feeble minded drooling idiot, and the mainstream media reports that he does seem to have some drool issues, it is not unlikely to be met with some negativity. A little too collaboration with fascism for most people.

He should be thankful the kids don’t understand how the government should work. If they did, they would tar and feather him.

No points ever. But it is an interesting plot point that helps us see trends as they develop. Now we see if he gets cast out.
