This.   If Obama couldn’t get even overwhelmingly popular gun control measures through Congress in the wake of Newtown when he quite clearly was willing to go to the mat in support of them and employed extraordinary eloquence (even for him) in an attempt to spur action-- there’s a definite limit to how far a President

And Biden’s done the same in a number of areas-- the things the OP is laying out as areas for action are largely outside those areas where a President can take action without legislative support. 

Please...tell about the Bully Pulpit. Really please do so, lay out how through speeches and events Biden could overcome the filibuster, a 50-50 Senate and SCOTUS.

Because from 2008 through 2020 we had two President’s known for their ability to command crowds and hammer home things through public speaking (for two very

So....where do you think the Child Tax Credit came from?

Like I get it, people are stupid, and a lot of young people lack a basic understanding of civics and how government works but you literally listed something the Administration did.......

This. Hell, if you’re going to make the author’s argument, you should probably have been against symbols like coat hangers in the 60s and 70s too since technically not all illegal abortions were unsafe at the time either (or necessarily even illegal if the person was wealthy/connected enough to get a Hospital

The best description I’ve ever heard of Carlson is that he always looks like a Senior who walked in on his prom date blowing his best friend.

I mean.....maybe they’re pro-trans given how the person in question identifies (that doesn’t make them progressive as a whole by any means-- a decent number of early Nazis were gay and tolerated until that became a convenient rationale for their murder).

I mean....Bill O’Reilley straight up cheerlead the murder of George Tiller.

I think an almost bigger worry at this point is how they’re giving credence to the “Dems= Pedophiles” thing, not because it’ll encourage more people to anger than their Abortion and Trans coverage but because the small segment of their

I get Lia Thomas as an unprecedented athlete in her sport, but what makes Sha’Carri Richardson unprecedented in her sport? 

This. I like Dawn Staley....but, this is some disease of now/obsession with the present shit. She has two titles, there’s two current head coaches other than Geno who have at least 1 more title- Kim Mulkey (won them at Baylor, currently at LSU) and Tara Van Derveer at Stanford— admittedly had to look her up to get

This. At this point a WRX just isn’t what it was (in terms of being a giant killer— even stock); for get Audis and BMWs it’s not even noticeably higher performance than the ‘sporty’ trims of Corollas and Accords— except for AWD (which, granted, is awesome).

Personally, I’m holding out for the Wagon or Hatch to come back before buying a new one. This generation and the last look way too “generic sedan w/ a hood scoop”.

Hmm.... (does a quick Wiki search)...she’s 33, she’s been married since 2017 and she has 1 kid.....unless she’s struggling with fertility issues it seems like she’s part of the “problem”.

Or she thinks that other people should have kids early and often but she herself is a special snowflake who gets to balance a career

Oh my bigger issue is he’s so far right that the people he’d have viewed as “heroes” growing up is really, really small like so small that if true it wouldn’t be too hard to figure out —- it’s obviously a massive lie— you know just like how “he’d have gone to the Naval Academy” or “almost made the Paralympics”

So....there’s got to be less than a 1% chance either of these things is true. Especially the orgy one, sorry but what congressperson that would have been a “hero” for Cawthorn say a decade plus ago- is a) still serving and b) would invite him?

Which you know— totally makes sense....I mean that’s why you give the son of the guy who gave Epstein his first break (Bill Barr) and the guy who gave Epstein his initial slap on the wrist deal (Alex Acosta) cabinet positions.........

Some of this is really hard- one of the reasons for the UN sanction regime in Iraq was potential genocide against the Kurds and Marsh Arabs, basically your hitting her both for supporting a crackdown on genocide— because of the consequences and not cracking down on genocide— because of potential consequences. This is

This.  And it’s a pretty massive difference, hopefully that will be corrected. 

The flipside of the this is if Cheerleading were covered by Title IX it would likely mean less money for other women’s sports— the reason more Women’s sports receive scholarships and especially full-ride (vs. partial) scholarships is because Football uses so many scholarships (70+ for an FBS school) that roughly

It’s challenging though, because w/o the carve out for Female (cis and trans) atheletes there will be significantly less representation by Female athletes overall at elite levels in most sports (likely not all sports).
