"unintentionally killing a teen downstairs"
Interesting choice of words, you assholes

It seems like he was a well respected Governor until about that last year or so
Then it seems like his wealthy Libertarian ego grow free
Every liberal Colorodan I know is like WTF happened to this guy?

Dude, take a lap and relax. God forbid someone make a mild joke without the Bluesky Karens having a fit
Also, see how I just grouped you together with all other annoying commenters, just like you just did with *every* member of *any* media entity of *any* size?
Critical thinking is a lost skill

Did the interviewer explain to Vanessa Cowart that SHE voted to deport moms?
It was never hard to understand who the admin would declare to be "illegals" or "criminals" and that they would sic ICE on them

But I'm open to advice on who I should scream at when some Dem legislators are actively supporting MAGA policy, the MAGA legislators have zero backbone to oppose Trump, and most of America seems at best indifferent
That said, I'm not going to not call out bad legislation in the meantime

I am also capable of focusing on more than one thing
I can oppose the MAGA budget, argue a non-sensical tip tax bill, call out ineffective Dem leadership, and have lunch all in the same half day timeframe

I expect our legislators to be able to do handle more than one topic at once. Silly me

So a server making $50K per year deserves a tax break, while a mechanic, nurse, flight attendant, or dental assistant making $50K per year don't?
Jacky, help me understand why that makes sense

It's not an EO, it's a (likely to be chalkenged in court) law passed by Congress

You're arguing with a typical uneducated conservative that has low to non-existent critical thinking skills. You might as well argue with a rock

But the Dems *are* powerless when it comes to Congress. That's a simple fact. Impeachment is currently unrealistic. Who wants to sit through that particular circus again?
I'm not going to disagree with you at all on certain Dems voting for Trump nominees. I agree, but that's a different topic

There's been zero evidence that there are enough Republicans to impeach, much less remove, any members of this administration
With that in mind, there's an argument to be made that impeachment proceedings are at best a distraction, and perhaps even harmful to the Dems 8n the public eye

Imagine being an Alabama graduate and for your commencement speech, instead of some author or philosopher or somebody giving an inspiring commencement speech, you get full diaper Don ranting about illegal immigrants and stolen elections

Informative and important thread
But I don't understand thanking god for unfreezing funds, when the credit goes to the state attorneys general and various non-profits that filed lawsuits to fight the freeze. As well as the ACLU that filed another lawsuit yesterday

Drives me nuts
Also, in the track filenames for some shows, once it gets to track 10, the naming scheme breaks as it drops the "0" for the disc
Noticed it for the recent Trey shows... Screws up the order when sorting by filename
Example:
trey20240418_d01_01
vs
trey20240418_d1_10

Everyone's going to have to share that pain of standing up to the fadcists; "they" don't get special dispensation because "we" all are all suffering the consequences of all who do not resist

Another way to frame it is that by accepting federal grants, funding, etc, Harvard would be supporting fascism and the shredding of the Constitution, so they should divest from the federal government, so to speak

As the richest person in the world, at least on paper, Elon is highly unlikely to go broke
But as lots and lots of small businesses are tariffed out of existence, companies like Amazon and other large corps are going to take an even bigger piece of the overall pie
IMO, this is really bad

I think I’m going to be thinking about this quote from Gordon Hirabayshi on the walls of the museum for a long time.

This is one stupid, undeveloped brain take

It's a massive investment in US semiconductor mfg - and in Upstate NY (which embarrassingly has pro-Trump areas). But Johnson spoke against it this year
No doubt it's because it passed during Biden's term
Total hypocrisy
comment in response to
post
Oh, absolutely. The Act passed Congress in 2022, with only a single GOP Representative voting for it, but 17 GOP senators voting for it. So yes, it was during the Biden admin, but had some Republican support
comment in response to
post
Look, I concede I'm debating insanity here, but...
If their position is that tariffs are in part to bring back US mfg, then why are Trump and Johnson threatening CHIPS funding to build semiconductor plants in Syracuse?
While simultaneously threatening tariffs on semiconductors

Y'all are doing some silly skit while the Republicans continue to execute a soft coup
Absolutely embarrassing leadership

You seem to gloss over the fact that bands make almost no money anymore off of albums. Touring & merch are their primary sources of income
You also gloss over entities like LiveNation/TM and AEG today controlling a monopolistic amount of ticketing and live music venues
Pretty cheap shot at bands
