Honestly, all of these people who interact with this man directly are fully aware that he’s an imbecile.
It’s the folks he’s conned that are the problem.

Sorry for that brief confusion!

It never ends. The suffering and pain and discrimination never ends.
There must be some way to break the spell…

No Joe… not YOU.
The people who like insanity (as you commented) must also be OK with the harm being done to others.
This was not aimed at you.
So much gets lost in this format of communication…

I guess. You must be soulless and without compassion as well.

“Pompous asshole” is a universal language.

I mean… for fuck sake this is insanity. Who can’t see it for what it is!!!

Concur. Very good point.

Anger against the end of slavery… and against dilution of policies that favor white Christians… and attempts to create a society that offers equal opportunity… and anything that even acknowledges - never mind trying to correct - the damage done by sins of our past.

When all of these regressive actions and policies begin to negatively impact the lives of Americans in a major way, Democrats will be in power. And they will be blamed for these problems by the people (and party) that caused them.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

States’ rights… when we agree with the states.

Narrator: “But the voters have never punished them for this kind of behavior, and there’s good reason to believe they never will”.

The real problem is the viewers who are too stupid to understand the implications. And their votes.

Shouldn’t everyone oppose the oppression of any people or community?

Not to mention that when it is this obviously insincere an endorsement, it looks disingenuous and ugly.

“There will be accountability”.
How quaint and old fashioned.
Unless voters hold MAGA/GOP accountable at the ballot box there is no accountability. Period.

And for 160 years since the deception, mistreatment and institutionalized suppression has continued.

Bullshit. This is pure militarism and it ignores the fact that modern deployment of American armed forces is not batting 1000, as you imply.
Please address the potentially (likely?) negative outcomes here.

And that’s the point. These people do indeed operate with a completely different set of moral values, and they perform moral calculus very differently as a result.

Not to mention the value of actually doing the work, preparing well in advance, taking the assignment seriously, etc.
I’m amazed by the casual treatment of this topic. Do none of you rely on surgeons or pilots or leaders whom you want fully prepared and truly expert at what they do?

Further context: This, like all other claims about cheating Trump out of the 2020 election victory, will never be presented in a court.

I am so fucking angry about this incident and the GOP behavior.

Judge Young cont: "It is palpably clear these directives and the set of terminated grants here also are designed to frustrate, to stop research that may bear on the health–we are talking about health here–the health of Americans. Of our LGBTQ community. That's appalling."

Of course!
Who put the leaders in their positions?
Too many Americans are enthusiastically supporting leaders who would loudly proclaim that Obama is a Muslim. It’s your neighbors, coworkers, family members… it’s voters.

The outrage aimed at Mike Lee seems misplaced.
His supporters will still vote for himno matter how brazen and harmful the lie. And his GOP colleagues will stay quiet.
These are the reasons he’s so comfortable lying like he is.
The problem is the electorate.

You nailed it. “I watched my father and my grandfather live their lives with enormous advantages because they were white men. I’m not enjoying those advantages like they got to. I have to compete with women and brown people and non-Christians. It’s just not fair.”

Jews as rats… do better. And I’m a strong defender of the rights of Palestinians.
