Hell, Bolton essentially told them exactly what they needed to do to get him to appear, and they didn’t do it.  It was a signal to them, and they just durt-dee-durred right along instead of taking his hint as an offer to help.

That’s not entirely my read. They unilaterally narrowed their own scope instead of including more easily provable financial corruption, and they refused to exercise the full extent of their Constitutional authority to subpoena witnesses and then charge them with contempt of Congress if they continued to refuse to…

Agreed.  It’s no coincidence that he never said a word about TikTok until after the TikTokers claimed credit for trashing his Tulsa rally.  And teens can run circles around his core demographic on Twitter, his preferred platform.

A second failed impeachment--because the situation in the Senate hasn’t changed appreciably--will only hurt them, rather than help them.  If they’d done the job right the first time, they’d be in a much better position right now.

What about the one that asked the military spokesman if he was worried that moving US troops from one base to another on Guam would cause it to capsize?

Why is the conspiracy always lizard people in human suits, and never humans in lizard suits? I never understood.

Well I’m glad you asked, dickshitter. Excerpt from History.com hints at one of the motivators; “In 1787, roughly 40 percent of people living in the Southern states were black slaves, who couldn’t vote. James Madison from Virginia—where slaves accounted for 60 percent of the population—knew that either a direct…

“Hey buddy, most of the hard hit states are all...Blue.”

Hey, dipshit; the majority of the country’s population lives states that are ‘blue.’  

“These guys aren’t cops. Nobody local is looking out for them. State authorities actively despise them for stepping over their authority.”

And that’s why we’re trying really hard to convince people not to.

“I’m quite glad I don’t live in Portland right now.”

I do.  It’s all some of us can do to keep others from walking into that very trap.  That’s the real purpose of this, some of us think, to provoke exactly that response to justify bringing the hammer down completely.

“I read that they consider “sea borders” such as cities on or near the coast as part of the greater border for some reason.”

We’re not on the coast either. We’re about 80 miles from the coast. There’s literally no reason for CBP to be here snatching citizens off of streets in the middle of downtown. [Edit] fuck the…

“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” But besides that, the orange shitgibbon does have something almost vaguely point-like, if you blur the image enough. The falsehood up front about masks did demonstrably more harm than good. I understand what their intentions were, but hindsight being what it is, the…

Ain’t it?  It’s also maddening to see the tradjectory of Europe’s curve versus ours.  Europe demonstrates how the exponential curve SHOULD look if managed properly, and both theirs and ours rise proportionally more or less the same at first.  Then, ours lights off the second stage booster and shoots straight for orbit…

KW Miller better watch out, or someone in his state will throw him into forced conversion therapy.

I gave a presentation senior year of college about the pitfalls of lax peer review, conflicts-of-interest, predatory journals, and biased studies. The erosion of trust in ‘science’ is already bad enough with the internet elevating bad ‘science’ without us shooting ourselves in the foot in the process. Oddly enough, I…

It makes me sad to see so many people conflate ‘hypocrisy’ with ‘growth’ and ‘maturing’ and ‘evolving.’  It’s true we should remember the poor business practices that made him what he is, but it’s also true that our past doesn’t define us *forever.*  Otherwise you’re all just a bunch of pants-shitter crybabies.

Yeah, THAT I would watch.  This?  Aside from the fact the host looks like a Sim character to me, I’m not even a little bit interested.

As a bonified white person, this is basically my position too. Just because *I* don’t see a problem in my daily life doesn’t mean a problem doesn’t exist. And since I am not in a good viewing angle to judge the objective reality based on my own seats in the stadium, I’ll defer to people with a better view and shut my…

“Please please, head Cheeto... keep doing what you’re doing until November.”

He has for his seventy-someodd years of life, so why stop now?
