So this guy had this, Cato had “Carthago delenda est”… what other Roman Senators had famous end-of-speech catch-phrases?

On the contrary: every single one of them is eminently qualified… as a saboteur. Trump couldn’t pick worse people for the jobs if he were doing it on purpose, because he is doing it on purpose.

Huh. I was 100% convinced this article was going to be about a ruling in a South Korean court or something like that. Seeing an American court hold a billionaire accountable for once was a bigger surprise than it ought to be.

More like bro does know that none of that stuff meaningfully moved the needle for the working class. If it had, there wouldn’t have been a winning margin of voters rejecting Harris for Trump and citing the economy as the reason!

and casual conversations blending left-leaning and conservative ideas

Oh shit, it’s almost as if there are more dimensions to politics than just the single axis the Democratic Party is willing to acknowledge.

And then they wonder why they lose.

You know what other sorts of figures that sort of conversation could “normalize” for “for a disillusioned, lonely audience—particularly young men?” Left-wing populists!

But the Democrats would rather have Trump.

Did you call them out on it?

McBride is wrong. What’s needed is not “respect and kindness,” but instead contempt and ridicule for fascist bigots. Failing to properly ostracize them is part of how we got into this mess.

And BTW, now that the spoiled frat boy quit, who the hell is my Congressman?!

Could be you. Run for office.

That said Merrick Garland did not appoint the judge that sabotaged the case. Merrick Garland and the Democrats did not appoint the Supreme Court Justices who sabotaged the case.

The primary way the case was “sabotaged” was by granting long delays to credulously consider every bullshit motion Trump made, which ultimately resulted in Trump successfully running out the clock until he could gain power again and kill it for good.

And guess what: that was only successful ENTIRELY BECAUSE Merrick motherfucking Garland DIDN’T EVEN OPEN A GODDAMNED INVESTIGATION UNTIL A FULL YEAR AFTER THE COUP ATTEMPT, DIDN’T APPOINT SPECIAL COUNSEL UNTIL 11 MONTHS AFTER THAT, AND DIDN’T GET AN INDICTMENT UNTIL HALFWAY THROUGH 2023!!!

The fix was in from the very beginning, and it was precisely when Biden appointed a Republican stooge to slow-walk the whole godforsaken thing!

The trouble is, PACs cost money, and there’s no profit in that message. ALL the big business favors the fascists because the fascists let big business exploit the public unchecked.

That’s why big business cannot be allowed to exist in a free society.

No, it fucking wasn’t Congress’ job – at least, not just Congress’ job. It was the DOJ’s job. And guess who appoints the motherfucking Attorney General?

manual windows and door handles have worked since cars were invented

Technically untrue: the first cars didn’t have doors at all.

One is asking about skin color, the other is asking about cultural heritage. For example, a person from South America with only European ancestry would be [white, Hispanic], and a Japanese-Brazilian would be [Asian, Hispanic].

The real issue is that they’re irrelevant questions that survey-givers have no legitimate reason to want to know.

“Damn! Blew the fuel injection manifold. Strong stuff, all right: it’ll take me a month to rebuild it.”

Pick an M4A2 or M4A6 (which had diesel engines) and chuck some vegetable oil in it; it’ll be fine.

I could be wrong, but I believe that pretty much every political office I could run for is either already held by a progressive (or at least a decent person), or elected statewide and therefore completely unwinnable.

Cis guy here (pardon the intrusion). From my perspective, the stupidest thing about the “debate” – and the thing that really reveals the bad-faith agenda of the anti-trans people – isn’t the age/capacity for consent aspect directly. It’s the fact that (if i’m not mistaken) we’re mostly talking about puberty blockers. That’s the opposite of “gender-affirming” care; it’s “gender-delaying!”

If the people making the “adolescents are too young to make the decision” argument were doing so honestly, letting trans kids take puberty blockers to buy time until they can decide in adulthood is exactly the kind of thing they should enthusiastically support, not oppose.
