Outside of the fact that it’s absolutely batshit (yet objectively great TV) that one grown man assaulted another grown man in the middle of a Hollywood awards show (assault, it’s never okay!)

Hey - I read the links - didn’t know all that! Never had much to think about the Founding Fathers - maybe they weren’t so bad after all!

Well thats another variant of conservatives tactic of ‘lying by telling the truth’. It WAS about states rights. ..and one of those rights was the right to keep the system of slavery.

the Texas Revolution was also about slavery.

So if the US suddenly invaded Canada, and was just fucking melting cities and neighborhoods with bombs and artillery and killing fleeing citizens in their cars.... If you were one of the US’ big old money billionaires, or someone tied to US economics in such a way we couldn’t actually separate you from a senator or…

What’re you talking about??? Of course the Civil War was about states’ rights! Specifically the right... to own people

Are you and your company deeply tied to the leader of a regime who is invading a foreign country? Is your company the result of massive graft and you were able to purchase a state owned company for pennies on the dollar? Is your wealth tied to corruption and being best buds with a maniac with delusions of recreating…

again, I wish I lived in a country where the GQP was actually called out loudly and aggressively for their hypocritical bullshit in times like this. The Dems in Congress don’t have the balls for it; can you imagine the proverbial “record scratch” it would generate if any of the Dems on this committee had cut off…

Republicans spend more time thinking about child porn than actual child pornographers. Which, some of them for sure are, to be fair.

Don’t forget that he used to walk into the dressing room of Miss Teen USA and his other beauty pageants, where girls as young as 15 were undressing

I know some of the Qanoners tried to justify Trumps relationship with Epstein saying he was undercover trying to stop him... But yeah, republicans tend to be the ones that don’t want sex-ed, which demonstrably reduces sex crimes against children. Turns out if kids know what sex is, they are more likely to report when…

You forgot to mention that he wants to fuck his daughter.

Do they ever give any indication as to who, specifically, considers these concepts divisive? Or why it’s ONLY these concepts?

An excellent podcast of labor and safety issues at the Chevron facility is in the third part of this Behind the News Feb 3 podcast:

I mean, yes to the 5% raise (and more!), but I also hope that improved safety measures are also part of the demands. This refinery has a history of nasty fires and there was a massive explosion as recently as 2012 that caused the evacuation of entire neighborhoods and sent something like 900 people to the hospital.

The New York Times reported the company’s profit was the highest it had been since 2014. Chevron also experienced its most profitable year since 2014
