I think they were saying “goodbye” in reference to the fact that voting for this bill amounts to (hopefully) political suicide, and many of these people will (hopefully) be losing their seats when they’re up for election. Hopefully.

She is a parasite, and a Nazi, all her campaign posters in my village have wee little mustaches, love the little buggers who did that.
Thinking about it I can also see the reason for specifically making The Commander really handsome, too. There’s a line in the book where Offred wonders, in a detached way during the Ceremony, “would I enjoy this more if he were attractive?”, that always struck a chord with me. Casting someone like Joseph Fiennes…
I casually knew Ivanka Trump for several years. Her target audience is almost exclusively other people who were born on third base and think they hit a triple.
Zizek made similar comments in 2016, only going significantly further and saying that Trump was a better option than Clinton. Self-identified leftists have rather comfortably run to embrace nihilism, which should tell you all you need to know about the principles they claim to hold dear.
If only they had a French word for deja vu....
Yep. Same thing here in the US. Apparently “voting your conscience” doesn’t mean assessing the realistic options in front of you and doing everything in your power to make sure the one that would do the most harm doesn’t happen. Apparently “voting your conscience” means that if the best option available isn’t your…
Hillary’s cunning strategy of beating Sanders by getting more people to vote for her was outrageous, even for a Clinton.
So sick of this shit, no you’ll hear nothing from them. That kid was no angel, that car looked suspicious, the officer was scared as he fired on a vehicle driving away; not threatening him, full of children. If anyone wants to say how hard cops have it, and how stymied they are by regulations, may I present this…
I know it’s perhaps obvious but I suppose it bears repeating: Zizek is an ass and a blowhard of the highest order. His schtick ran thin MANY years ago and at this point I feel like he’s just braying for the attention. Because yes, dickhead, in the face of a fascist threat, you should stop the fascist from taking…
It’s the one where the Handmaids go back in time to save the whales. Should be hysterical.
Her Year of the Flood trilogy has a lot of similarities but even MORE real IMO, with the corporatized everything and genetic engineering. The women’s roles are more varied but I feel like they still mirror the Handmaids/Wives/Marthas traps and hierarchies. Also I just try to plug the series all the time.
They started disappearing when the chief admitted that the body cam footage showed cop was a lying liar who lies. I’m sure they are still scouring the internet showing pix that the boy is 6'6 and 300 lbs and could be a body double for Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
I’m sure he was disrespectful in some way. Everyone knows if you were disrespectful to an officer, they have the right to murder you (if you are also black).
I was pitching to my 3.5-year-old last night and he nailed one over the fence into the neighbor’s yard. He was so excited, jumping up and down and running around. Hurt like hell to hit him in the head with the next pitch.
Well, now let’s remember, we still don’t know all the facts. Did the kid speak to (or possibly look at) officers in a manner that was “disrespectful”? Did he have any prior misdemeanors on his record that gave him an aura of criminality that police would instantly detect using their paladin abilities? Did he have bad…
Waiting for those assholes who were just sooo sure the cops were telling the truth, who claimed that OF COURSE these Black teenagers were drunk and breaking the law and tried to run the cops over. OF COURSE this cop wasn’t lying. If these kids weren’t doing anything wrong, they wouldn’t have been shot. Because the…
Right?!
If she was going to lie about who she was, why wouldn’t she pick a less terrorist-y name?
