Not doing much to dispel the "crypto is a cult" charges, Mark

Because, as we all know, education is about the passive transfer of units of knowledge from teacher to student, and does not at all involve thinking independently, experiencing the wider world, speaking, taking risks, arguing and defending a point, and having your own arguments challenged

I had a magazine printer cold call me and share how much he's looking forward to DOGE fixing the USPS, and dumbass lost a potential client forever

That, and Google Docs are free. MS Word isn't. Granted, once you're in an organization that relies on Google Workspace, it's an expensive product. But Google was absolutely brilliant in its strategy to get you into their ecosystem free of charge, with high costs to come later.

Yeah, cool, she was already dead before the tax bill passed, that wasn't in the current term, and she was in the Senate. Might as well show a pic of Strom Thurmond to make your point.

Not to mention that there were a couple more Repub "nay" votes in the bank that would've mysteriously shifted over to vote in the affirmative, if needed.

So it's a terrible, terrible thing to blame voters for voting for the Republicans who passed this tax bill, but blaming a man for dying of cancer is totally fine!
Also, if Gerry Connolly had been alive to case a "nay" vote, the Repub "present" vote would've switched to "yes."

The MAGA Manual of Style:
-Capitalize all Nouns
-Plurals of proper nouns are formed by an apostrophe-s
-"Commonsense" as one word when used as a noun
-Use exclamation points liberally

People of any age can and do get cancer and die

There's definitely a "oh, there you go again" vibe

The reason there isn't more alarm (and there's a lot of alarm, but not enough) is that in authoritarian regimes, day-to-day life goes on and can feel normal. So many people here now see that and think that either Trumpitarianism isn't that bad after all, or that we're all overreacting.

I'm shocked to hear that a dishonest grifter became a MAGA star

I'm a fan of direct, clear, urgent language like that

But the issue is this need we Dems have to couch every point in careful language and caveats. It's a grad school phenomenon. Obtuse, cautious language.

There were maybe two hours of feigned decency from that crowd until they went back to their usual horrible ways

Yes, I think this public freakout and latest round of fingerpointing—all because two hacks are now releasing a book—is quite dumb, to say the least. Are we this easy to manipulate?

No, this one is excessive and pointless.

Yeah, "apply to South Africans" ... No, Jack, in the case of a white South African citizen having a child on US soil, birthright citizenship applies to an American, not a South African

Ohio has never been in worse shape in Bill DeMora's lifetime than it is right now. The country has never been in worse shape in Bill DeMora's lifetime than it is right now. And Senator Bill DeMora's biggest (only) accomplishment in the fight...is banning ranked choice voting.
comment in response to
post
I'm absolutely appalled—not just that Bill did this, but that he teamed up with the odious Theresa Gavarone on this bill. This is the same Bill DeMora who is always a purist and scold about Democratic Party stances and processes. This is exemplifies the worst excesses of machine politicians.

Heh. It's something to see people in really bad-off Ohio towns, who have been led by Republicans at all levels locally and in the state for decades, look at their deteriorating situation and decide Democrats are the problem, and to keep voting for Republicans
comment in response to

Yeah, I see it in rural Ohio, too.
comment in response to
post
Rural white people have a crazy amount of political power, from the most local level and up. There are tons of layers of local government. State legislatures are way overrepresented by rural areas. Same with Congress.

Is there a rule somewhere about Democratic senators from Arizona having to be really obnoxious?

I just can't accept an ODP chair who has stood on stage with Jon Husted and sponsored legislation with Theresa Gavarone. Absolutely inexcusable behavior.

Why are these Republican blowhards always so round? Balloon face, helmet hair... The Newt Gingrich look

Next up from the Republican court: we can't live without water, so pushing somebody's head into a bathtub and drowning them to death isn't murder.

Seriously, though, how do these thoroughly wretched people get found for these positions?

If an ODP chair falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
