Exactly. I can easily imagine the GOP primary battle causing Kemp (or, less likely, Purdue) to lose to Abrams. While, at the same time, a broad coalition of voters unfortunately send Walker to the senate and Warnock packing. Nothing’s impossible.

Eh... remember how everyone was looking forward to Trump’s poor debate performances in 2016?

The people who will vote for Oz do not care about debates.

I’m not defending shit. My positions are that 1) I prefer people to openly speak out against their past atrocities rather than continue to spread hate to their grave since truth always has value, and 2) I don’t believe in celebrating death, with at best the rare exception being for those who are actively causing harm.

I would wager that in the minds of people who say such things, there is no cognitive dissonance. In fact it’s a position fairly consistent with grievance politics, American Isolationism, and far-right nonsense. I assume in their logic, we had no business going to war (a position reasonable minds can debate). That then …

He may never have been able to redeem himself for his involvement in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, but at the end he spoke openly about his decisions and expressed regret for those actions. That’s more than anyone else from that Era has done. And as you pointed out, he was not the orchestrator of the lie. Not an excuse,…

At least he was able to honestly reflect on his past mistakes and judgements. That doesn’t excuse his actions and certainly does not excuse his complicity in the war in Iraq. But it is far more than others have done. It seems like only after he retired did he feel comfortable enough to speak openly (something that…

Was this supposed to be a celebration of atrocities, or was it supposed to be an acknowledgement of a dark past? I genuinely don’t know what was in the artist’s mind at the time, but it strikes me as a fair point to consider. Let me ask you this... what if this IS an honest depiction of the town’s history? Isn’t it…

Edited: Kinja double posted my original message. Don’t know why. Maybe it was just that good... But I deleted the redundant text to minimize clutter.

While I don’t condone harassment, this doesn’t seem to qualify to me. She’s a public figure taking a very public stance against an issue the majority of Americans, including many in her constituency and her colleagues in the Senate, support. She does this without providing a workable path forward. She should be…

You would think they’d realize that it’s a lot easier to hide a microchip in a horse pill than in a vaccine.

And.... Bill Gates did buy a horse farm back in 2019. Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not. I’m just asking questions.

Manchin makes more sense to me. For whatever reason, he happens to be a Democrat. But that’s not why the people have reelected him. They vote for him becuase he’s Joe Manchin and they always vote for Joe Manchin. The other senator from WV is Shelley Moore Capito. She’s not the craziest member of the GOP caucus, but…

Over the weekend the AZ democratic party passed a resolution confirming that they will continue to threaten to censure Sinema if she keeps these antics up. What does that mean? It means the state party might not support her reelection bid in 2024.

That lady is so full of BS. We all know Satanists don’t stand six feet apart.

Sammarinese individuals will no longer need to go abroad to Italy

Unfortunately there are only three GOP held senate seats that are in competitive races next year. Pennsylvania strikes me as the easiest target given state wide trends there in 2020. North Carolina didn’t flip in 2020, and while some may blame the Democratic candidate’s sexting scandal... I’m skeptical that that was a…

Divisions are real. But they don’t always fall along even population divides. And the instances of unity are not always sufficient to overcome other areas of disagreement.

I agree completely. Though I also look at the argument from the other side too. If the anti-abortion position is that abortion is murder full-stop, then why does the rape or incest caveat even matter?

On a related note, it’s worth remembering that covid infections in pregnant women increase maternal mortality, miscarriage, and sundry other complications for mother and child.

Yet I suspect that many of the so called “pro-life” advocates championing the Texas law are among the ranks of the unvaccinated and oppose…
