Somewhere love and justice shine
Cynicism falls asleep
Tyranny talks to itself
Sappy slogans all come true
We forget to feed our fears

Me or the Democrats? The 4th estate won’t cover it anyhow, they are all owned by plutocrats now.
I tried a long time ago (does nobody remember Occupy?) I’m old and tired now, there isn’t a path for me to do anything effective. It has be someone from within the GOP willing to challenge Trump.

They can’t just bring things to the floor, it doesn’t work like that. It has to go through committee, which are all controlled by the GOP. It’s not like they can just go into the Capitol and demand a hearing. If you don’t like this, the way to stop it isn’t Democrats, it’s getting them to stop it.

It won’t even get brought to the floor, the majority in control of Pres/House/Senate means they are doing all they can, which is not a whole lot.

They said it in the hockey game last night too. I’m an old person but “come on?!”

Important to remember who writes the history. You only know this because they won.

Michael Lewis wrote about this a few years back, they have been working on this for a while: a.co/d/iPjWcDH

But you are asking why people playing by the rules were so easily foiled but can’t seem to stop people not playing by the rules? It’s a non-equivalence, it’s almost the antithesis.

Kluwe you are currently my spirit animal, I echo this sentiment vehemently.

Come up with it yourself. Really name calling is not important.

Correct, but refusal to cooperate in a confirmation hearing points to a poor choice of character. Anyone worth their weight would have an answer. It’s not a criminal trial, it’s a character trial. These are some characters let me tell you!

Try being a Pirates fan with Paul F’n Skenes, I hear where you are coming from.

His contract alone is what has kept your window open. F the haters. Just win and shut them up. As a guy from the other side of the state, I’m pulling for the Eagles.

Brother I’m a Jets fan, I’d kill for a Jalen Hurts.

There hasn’t been a liberal media since the oligarchs bought up the news networks.

Cam takes things to extremes, he doesn’t know what he’s going to say, he just says it. Hurts would be good anywhere, but he’s still got growing to be elite. I like his game and he doesn’t make many mistakes. Good QB, not great yet.

QB record is an ass stat tho. Not saying he’s bad, but record speaks to the team as a whole.

This isn’t a trial though, it’s a confirmation hearing. He’s not going to get arrested, it’s a little bit different.

It happened 17 hours ago and they still are.

Oh, not at all, by all means, protect yourself. I’m just saying don’t be alarmed if they already have everything they need through say “Tik Tok.”

This is just the “stand with Israel” portion of the show, they don’t really care about anti-semitism, they want an excuse to go after pro-Palestinian folks. The minute someone tries to use that law as a way to combat anti-semitism, they will say “that’s not what we meant.”

Google and Meta can sell your data to whoever they want, probably already have sold it to China.

Hear me out, whoever is going to run against whatever this is, is likely going to do so with the husk of the Democratic Party. I’d appreciate if we could tear down the shitty politicians (Ds included) and not add to the GOP belief that D means enemy of the state.

Just be careful with correlation/causation. Could be injuries, could be teams adjusting, could be schedule. Not saying it isn’t the case, but give a little grace to the concept of the scientific method.

Ok.

Man I love your analysis, but the Chiefs are good because of Spags and the D 1st, Andy Reid’s management 2nd, and then Mahomes. He’s great but the team is better. Those teams need to get better (coaching too!)
comment in response to

No, I’m well aware. It’s just this lame lament that we can’t hold those doing terrible things to account so let’s just shit on the people who came in second.
I’m just tired…

Dude, I heard “My neck, my back” (Google if you have to) in a Dove body wash commercial the other day. We are in full societal collapse.

The problem is your argument is just us against them and yelling fascist. Tell me what to do to stop this. Do you want me to go back in time and stop the Democrats or something. SOLUTIONS to the current problem, we know why we are here!

Cool, now you have 2 kinds of enemies, that get you closer to where you want to be?

They are preventing your from running as a Dem. You don’t sound like a Dem, you sound like a leftist Independent. Start small and work your way up.

You sound very much like the dictator you are fighting against.
comment in response to

My, you continue to argue what you would do if it was you, but what have you done to make what you want happen?
It does no good. Don’t support the Dems, but we are still here in this situation. Tear down the party that fought and did what they could, while your anger should be at your neighbor.
comment in response to

Then what is preventing you from being President? I’m tired of the armchair assholes. Run or shut the fuck up.
comment in response to
post
And let me be straight, I’m on your side here. I just can’t understand how attacking the largest organized opponent to the thing you are fighting against gets you closer to your goal.
Just think about that for a moment, please. Not a huge lefty lib or anything, but damn.
comment in response to

Then you come off as every bit as terrible as the strongman that you are fighting against. It’s a losing battle. You cannot imprison the other party in a democracy if the majority of the voters support the other party.
comment in response to

Cool, have fun with your new party or joining the fascist. Let me know your platform, maybe I’ll consider running.
comment in response to
post
What evidence do you have that the GOP wouldn’t have rallied around the imprisoning as an attack on their party?
Identity politics is what has led us here, they just want to win, Trump just exploited the direction the party has been heading for 40 years. Winning is more important than freedom.
