I’m with you on this case. Regardless of whether he was in a manic state - and there’s an argument to be made that one can be in a manic phase and still aware of right and wrong - his behavior there seems rather lucid to me. He was fully aware of what he did, and given that he went back to eating tells me he just…

Yes, tell me more about the pork chops!

I don’t think so, as “widely” seems to be acting as an adverb, here. I guess you could make the argument either way, and both are probably acceptable.

My thoughts exactly.

This isn’t the first time she’s been compared to an unpopular grade-school teacher, either. Her entire demeanor screams it.

They know that Biden hasn’t been “working class”  for the vast majority of his adult life, right? Neither has Bernie, for that matter. You can’t have an honest discussion of class in america if you don’t fucking understand what constitutes a given class in the first place.

Grifting Old Pricks?

You’ve stumbled (?) on to the idea behind anarcho-syndicalism (or at the least - worker owned cooperatives and profit-sharing type businesses). Anyone who says “anarchism doesn’t work in practice” isn’t looking very hard. There’s a company called Mondragon in the Basque region of Spain that is quite successful and…

You can teach a kid to fish, but not to remove concentrated heavy metals from their catch. So now we offer a tax credit to anyone opening a hatchery.

I guess I just don’t see how this article is “angry”. It seems to be making fun of the whole thing.

Man, if the therapists I’ve seen are any indication, probably not.

*Apologies for my grammar. I’m still on my first cup of coffee.

“Always”? Probably not. I mean, no more than politics in general has always had its share of grifters (and american ones moreso). I think “decades” is more accurate, and I should have been more specific. The republican party has been obviously corrupt as fuck since Nixon. In the decades since, the corruption has only…

That may be true - I honestly don’t know to what extent this was blown out of proportion - but it falls under a trend of Bernie getting accused of “misogyny”. Also, if you’ve seen the original tweet that started all this, “ice cold feminist take” is in and of itself ridiculous and worthy of some mockery.

Thank you, Stassa, and the rest of the staff, for your diligence in covering this nightmare. Honestly I don’t know how you all could stand it. I also appreciate your commitment to covering the new administration with a critical eye. You’ll probably get a whole lot of “this is a bad take” nonsense, but not from me.

Ammonia + carbon dioxide makes ur Rhea.

Grifting is a core GOP value, now.

It’s the way the sentence is constructed. “...widely dubbed” is really what you’re taking issue with, here. The quotation marks indicate that is the term which was “dubbed”.

Would you prefer your answer in list or rant format?

And states’ rights!
