Thing is, we don’t want those fuckers adopting babies and brainwashing them into their psychotic cult.

There are definitely a significant number of people who know that it’s all bullshit, and who spread those kinds of lies because they help their cause.

But... but... but then there wouldn’t be any cops left!

I know - but what can be done about that? It seems like a problem that was allowed to fester too long, and now I’m not sure it can be fixed.

The scary thing about that is having to share a planet with people like that. How can a society exist with two utterly opposing, incompatible views of factual reality?

I’ve been working since 1994. I’ve had I think fourteen different jobs from then until now. Of those fourteen jobs, three were offered to me by family with no interview or application, four I sought out using personal connections and was hired more or less on the spot without a real interview, six I sought out or was…

There was a whole raft of hoaxes framing BLM and Antifa that summer, and yet no matter how many were exposed, police and media just kept believing them. Here’s a clue: if someone commits arson and spraypaints “BLM” or “Biden 2020" or the anarchy symbol near the scene of the crime, there is a 100% chance that it was…

One of the biggest problems facing American society right now is the fact that police and news reporters would even entertain the possibility that this was anything but a hoax.

And a classic example of why saying “I don’t see color” isn’t the open-minded, non-racist statement the people saying it think it is.

She was literally the villain of her own series.

It will never cease to amaze me how few people actually understand what Robocop is about. It isn’t subtle.

Which is all anyone can ask! Everyone knows that Congress isn’t going to codify abortion protections this term; no one expects that the Dems can magically reverse all the horrible shit the Republicans have done. All anyone wants is for elected Dems, especially the leadership, to do something. Use whatever levers you…

Exactly. Voters are already voting, more than ever before. They are also donating, organizing, and protesting. Regular people are already doing their part. The whole point of voting is to elect people who will do things. If you want those people to keep voting, you need to do things.

I’m not arguing that nothing has gotten through congress, I’m arguing that he’s not getting anywhere on the vast majority of his platform, in particular the most important parts. I’ll give him some credit for the American Rescue Plan, but since then?

They already have control of the party. It’s up to Dem leadership now to make the case that the Republican party is completely tainted and illegitimate (as Republicans have been doing to Democrats for as long as I can remember). There can be no compromise and no peace with this incarnation of the Republican Party. 

And how’s saving the courts going for them right now? This is loser talk. Stop it. The time for focusing on defense is past. The Dems are losing, badly. The only possible hope for the future is for the Dems to go on the offensive.

That’s how the Dems see it. McConnell doesn’t see it as a game. If it was just a friendly game to him he wouldn’t cheat so eagerly and viciously. We need to dispense with the notion that the Republicans are a normal political party. They are not, their goals are incompatible with pluralistic democracy, and they do not…

“It appears to me that the lie that none of the Democratic Party platform (Biden agenda) passed depresses way more potential Dem votes than the inclusion of dissenting voices in their fragile majority.”

He does seem like an alright guy, but he’s just an awful, awful filmmaker. Like, he’s objectively bad at both writing and directing movies. Just bad, bad. Bad.

Exactly. The senate is still doing exactly what McConnell wants/allows and nothing more. Chuck Schumer is not the actual, effective leader of the senate. McConnell is.
