That’s not at all what he said. He literally ended his comment with this:
I think that the choices have never been clearer between the two forms of capitalism.
If you know Juan Gonzalez and his long and storied journalism career, he is very clear about the dangers of right-wing extremism.
There’s a difference between being excited about Democrats’ newfound energy (I am super excited), and being realistic about what they can accomplish as one of two parties in a hyper-capitalist system.
I pretty much agree with you, with the small caveat that nearly every single US president has been a total monster with their foreign policy decisions. Doesn’t make it right, but historical context is super important.
Since we don’t have the option to vote for someone who wouldn’t be a monster with their warmongering, we unfortunately have to vote for the person who would be a little less monstrous, and right now that’s Harris. And who knows, once Biden is out of the picture and Harris can make her own decisions, she might turn out to be better than we’re expecting. Probably not, but anything will be better than Trump.
Wow that hurt my head. I read the rest of the Wikipedia page and I think I understand, but damn, I’ll need to read the judge’s full opinion to see just how creatively he applied that principle. Tort law is not for me.
Judge Simpson said that "there is no direct link between the warrantless entry and Taylor's death."
What?! How does that make any sense? If the cops didn’t illegally enter her apartment without a warrant, Breonna would still be alive today. Cause meet effect. How is that not a direct link?
So true. For me, one of the most masculine things a man can do is cry in public without shame. It shows that they’re secure enough in their emotions to know that crying is a completely natural and usually quite helpful thing for people of any gender to do.
There was at least one “JD Vance did not have sex with a couch” headline that had to be changed, because how could anyone possibly know whether or not someone has fucked a couch? Journalistic integrity dictates that you only make statements like that if they can be backed up by facts. I could be fucking my couch right now and no one would ever know.
Do these freaks really not remember what it was like to be a kid? Kids do crazy shit, it’s how we all learn about ourselves, our boundaries, our values. Punishing a kid for playing around like this will not help anyone, it will simply make it more likely that this kid acts out later because their sense of what’s socially acceptable and what’s not will be completely skewed by these absurd rules.
I played finger guns in school all the time (before active-shooter drills were a thing, to be fair), and it’s part of how I figured out that I hate guns and violence. Punishment first has never been effective, we need to trust ourselves and our kids a little more.
I don’t have an Xbox, but I’m thrilled any time companies add good customizable accessibility options. It’s good for folks who really need it, but also usually good for those of us who just like to customize everything as much as possible. Everybody wins.
My replies do not necessarily imply an upvote, so if this ever gets implemented, please make it optional. (I did upvote this though, because it’s a cool idea to have as an option.)
This might rub some folks the wrong way, but I have zero sympathy for him. Even if he feels betrayed, which is kind of understandable, that’s politics man, and sometimes it’s rough. Especially when the candidate can’t string together a coherent sentence.
But since he’s been in positions with significant power for longer than most of us have been alive, you’d think he would have understood that about his chosen career by now? In presidential politics, the only thing that matters is winning, and he wasn’t going to win.
Assuming he truly understands the stakes of the election, this was the most politically savvy decision he could have possibly made, so frankly it’s time to suck it up and enjoy the showers of love and praise he’s getting, and spend that government pension on some awesome vacations. Goodbye, and thank you for your service. Please lay off the whining, it’s not a great look.
Fair point. This community doesn’t usually bring a genuine smile to my face though, so we might consider loosening the rules a bit. I’d hate to have missed this.
