  • And evangelicals won't cheerlead for most of those.

  • Any republican willing to do that voted to impeach after j6 and got primaried. They have been evaporatively cooled past the line for anyone to engage in career sacrifice.

  • No, they are the party of "law and order," which is distinct from "rule of law". Rule of law is when the law applies equally to everyone without fear or favor, that no one is above it. Law and order is when the law is used as a cudgel to maintain existing social structures, that's the order part. Law and order is firehoses and dogs used on protestors, is sundown towns, is starlight rides.

  • I particularly appreciate "lift the luggage," really glad people still remember that.

  • Because they organized and acted on a long-term plan, supported by a political party that courted them for votes.

  • Gaetz wants them to actually do an impeachment and is saying that the current Hunter Biden dipshit show won't lead to one. He's not calling it out, he's calling for them to do it harder.

  • They're already out the R&D money here. Ceasing to provide the product won't bring that money back.

  • From what I can tell, he has some level of technical competence, more in engineering than in software, and basically not at all with people. I'm not sure if he has a neurodivergence in the area that prevents him from acquiring an understanding of people, or if he basically regards other humans as objects to be shifted around in bulk, and thus not worth considering, but his career demonstrates both him fucking up socially, and him being played by people who want something from him.

  • Being turned off religion by the endless hypocrisy (I recall reading some time ago that that was the leading factor in kids leaving their parents faith) doesn't actually teach skepticism or critical thought.

  • Speaking as a person playing a soot-black tiefling...

  • I watched interview on mainstream media about the forward party. Yang refused to be nailed to any position, and wouldn't say that maybe self-described Nazis shouldn't have a place in his party. So, it wasn't that the establishment is trying to hide it, they just aren't a thing of any substance.

  • Could you please explain your understanding of being trans? Because what you're describing doesn't match what I've been told about the condition.

  • We'll see it's like this:

    Trans people can die in the streets.

    No new wards needed!

  • Some of these seem to have had insightful and worthwhile commentary. Of course, I might just be saying that because I think they're right.
