Its not just him, those judges were confirmed by the legislature. Putting the entire blame solely on his shoulders let's them off the hook.

They are just as much to blame as him.

The internet never let's facts get in the way of memeing about people.

So why hail them as some revolutionary?

Considering how much respect China has for western intellectual property... probably. Somewhere.

And most of them didn't have online only restrictions.

Been that way for a while.

Mmm... mag lev...

At no point did I say it wasn't ever important. I even said that it should be at the forefront.

What I did say is only focusing on it is myopic and naive. Trying to create some narrative where if you don't say it's the only thing you ever care about they're you're wholeheartedly against it is incredibly dangerous. It will backfire on you just like it backfires on the republicans.

Considering it's gotten them power thus far, it seems to be working pretty well for them.

I don't disagree that it's morally repugnant... but to say it doesn't get them what they want is naive.

It's definitely an important issue, and one Republicans have been distracting their base with for decades. But it's far from the only one.

If Democrats only have this one issue to hang their hat on... what incentive do they have to fix it? Then they're in the same boat a lot of Republicans are in now, they got what they wanted and have nothing else to rile their base with.

No one's saying it shouldn't be at the forefront... but it also shouldn't be the only thing. Bodily autonomy is great... but doesn't really matter as much when you can't afford to eat or house yourself.

I mean, for the discerning gentlemen scared of their own shadow knowing their general location, I'd say it's right up their alley.

I think you're buying into her attempt to soften the blow.

She starts off the statement by immediately linking protests with Putin, then follows it up by putting up a front as though she's in some way neutral.

John Stewart did a pretty good show about this sort of thing about a decade ago about Glenn Beck. "She's only asking questions! How do we know these protestors aren't all Russian agents, after all?"

It won't be, at worst it will be passed around a bunch of marketing companies sending you a bunch of pointless junk mail. And that's really only if you go to a shitty bank.

She's directly linking any protestation of the war with Putin. She's essentially saying if you protest for cessation of hostility in Gaza you're a tool of Putin.

It's incredibly disingenuous and will definitely hurt their numbers. And in a race that's going to be as close as this is, it could easily lead to a red Presidency.

It's an easy way to silence people you don't want to hear. Someone who believes there's sincerity in the sentiment doesn't start off with: "For them to call for a ceasefire is Mr Putin's message. Make no mistake. This is directly connected to what he would like to see."

It doesn't really matter what you justify it with afterward, you're still essentially saying opposing "war" in Gaza is supporting Putin.

You can spark conversation while also actually knowing something yourself. Ignorance is not the only way to engage.

First one was an okay movie, second one was basically a screensaver that was sometimes annoyingly interrupted by explosions.

Don't forget Dances With Wolves! That's another one it's similar to.

"And now that they have scientific backing instead of gut instinct, maybe something can actually be done. Unless of course people decide "well duh" and completely ignore the findings as they've been doing for decades"

And if Trump were the only part of the 1%, you might have a point.
