The gig economy would like a word. 

College sports directorates are the last prominent plantations of exploitive US capitalism.

Gawd. Just fucking pay these kids already.

That was EXACTLY Rand Paul last week.  “Biden called us all racists” ... umm, no he didn’t, but nice work telling on yourself like that.

Dems: We condemn white supremacy!

January 6th was almost a month ago. Get over it! But don’t you dare touch that statue of Robert E Lee.

Yup. And Americans will still bluntly tell you that they don’t live in a police state. To which, wake the **** up. This is exactly what ‘living in a police state’ looks like.

A major part of the problem is that the governing consensus is still that these horrific police actions are needed and that brave warriors willing to pepper spray a 9 year old while she’s handcuffed in a squad car is the only thing saving us from complete societal collapse. Sure, it varies greatly by jurisdiction, but…

Reading comprehension is fundamental.

Like many people, I was not happy with Biden, but held my nose and voted, even though I know he was emblematic of failed Dem turns in power. Obama learned the lesson well, but by the time he did say ‘fuck the GOP’, he was extremely limited.

Biden literally got fucked by this EXACT same scenario 12 years ago when he and Obama came into office with a super majority, and wanted to pass legislation to get the economy out of recession, and Republicans kept saying, “We need bipartisanship, we need unity,” and they cut and cut at the bill, removed as much as…

The old guard Dems are thirstier for a ‘return to normalcy’ then anyone else, while at the same time completely ignoring that the old ways are dead.

I wish I had more faith that Biden would remember the last six years and remember that many of the same people who got his ass over the finish line are the same people who need every penny of help they can get. But the idea he’s even entertaining a meeting with these jackals when his policy could be enacted without…

The thing that pisses me off about this is that it all comes down to Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema. They’re demanding a “bipartisan” solution when the country literally gave their party a super majority because they understand that bipartisanship isn’t fucking working right now.

Sure, ego could be part of the issue, but we also know that there is a widespread training/culture issue, where the police are expected to exert and maintain absolute authority. https://harvardlawreview.org/2015/04/law-enforcements-warrior-problem/

Thanks - you articulated exactly what I am thinking.

Let me just state this. They never drugged anyone against their will.

Some people see the new chairman of the Senate Budget committee as the primary reason Clinton ran a shaky campaign and lost in 2016, and why we saw 4 years of misrule under Trump.

If you didn’t know anything about the accuser, you’d know a couple of things by T.I. and Tiny’s previous behavior: he thinks he can do anything without consequence and she’s so insecure about her monstrous looks that she’ll do and say ANYthing to keep him.
