I see the logic in what you’re saying.
But I’ve also seen some worry that if Trump loses (and he damn well better lose), when the CR expires about a month before Harris’ inauguration, this possibly leads to government gridlock, thereby emboldening another January 6 attempt.
Personally I expect another J6 whether the government is funded or not, but I’d feel better about things if it was funded.
Is there anything to this, or is it just a hail mary?
If Garland outlives me I’d like him to be a pallbearer at my funeral so he can let me down one last time.
I had a similar impression she’s been keeping a lower profile for awhile. I don’t keep up with her apart from headlines, but until last week she’d seemed quieter.
You’re probably right, but damn I wish she’d just go back to heckling bartenders.
I don’t know how anyone can watch this and not feel Trump is exposed as being nonsensical and vindictive. I feel hopeful that Kamala is changing plenty of undecided minds, though I wish she’d been able to expand more on policy and less on Trump’s lies.
Bias due to fact checking Trump or from what?
After he loses the election and gets sentenced, I hope to never again hear from this scourge.
It wouldn’t be surprising to hear the influencers knew full well they were being funded by Russia.
Nor would it be surprising to learn they were completely duped since they’re into that sort of thing–just like their followers.
To his credit, Biden adhered to the give/take of ideas with Trump. It’s courteous to let the other person speak and I’m sure he thought those watching would clearly see he’s the reasonable person in the debate. Since Trump has no such courtesy, he just ran out the clock with nonsense, making Biden look weak/confused rather than reasonable. So they wanted the mics cut. I think they’re confident in Harris’ ability to put Trump on his ass when he tries with her.
I struggle with this too. I think it’s because it feels so damned nonproductive to not try and figure out how to make things better. Matter of fact, it feels like how I approach people dumping personal problems at work…indifference I suppose. And that’s the last thing I want to show someone I care about. So it weighs me down.
I’ve taken to asking questions from different angles during the venting, and this seems to be my best strategy. Results are mixed.
I’ve accepted that I can’t be one of these “there, there” people because I don’t enjoy feeling useless. I care, what’s being said matters to me, but I can’t be myself in the situation. And that feels bad.
People are saying it. They’re saying he looks too old, too tired to make the cover of Time magazine. Lots of people are talking about it. Have you heard him speak? I had to shut it off, but people say he kept on and on, rambling. Rambling on and saying weird things, lotta weirdness coming from him.
His couch, on the other hand, calls him “weird”. And rightly so :/
Good for her. Now the voters she duped with fearmongering, most of whom haven’t gone over the curriculum themselves, probably won’t learn that she found nothing. They’ll probably credit her for eliminating what was never there.
Congress should have a couple thousand folks in it rather than 435
This is exactly it. This is what hamstrings the will of the majority and lends relevance to these lunatics we’re having to endure.
Many revere our founders, and I’m quite sure if they could comment on this mess they’d say something like “There are how many millions of citizens? And you stopped adding representatives at 435? That’s the problem. Why?”
I’m with you there. SFTD hit a great balance between dark and light. I think Josh needs Nick Oliveri’s approach, though I know he had his problems (maybe still?). Musically though, I think they’re a case of a whole being greater than the sum of its parts.
It’s like the alt-1985 Biff reality came to pass.
Any reasonable person looking at these circumstances say 10, 15, 20 years ago would think 'No, that could never happen. He’d be barred from office, maybe even imprisoned."
And yet, here we are. This timeline, for the US anyway, deserves to be pruned.
A steady stream of people showing up daily with nothing, starting from scratch, is not a crisis to you?
What do we do with those who show up to find all the farm jobs in Idaho and other places are filled? Furthermore, do you condone the treatment refugees receive while working these jobs?
There are certainly racists opposed to letting in refugees, and a lot of them make policy on such things. But minimizing the long term need to assist the ongoing influx of people as purely racism isn’t productive. We have no solution for what to do with all of them.
Leaving drugs completely out of discussion, this is a humanitarian crisis. Do you think just opening up the border and letting whatever happens afterward work itself out is the answer?
Dusty Deevers, lmao. I went to elementary school with him for a few years. You don’t forget a name like that. Trust me, he comes by the dipshitidness honestly from growing up in that Oklahoma town. It’s isolated and simple, and at least 50 years behind the times. I wouldn’t call anyone from there wordly.
I was obviously just a kid at the time, but an opportunity came and I noped the hell out.
Good, let the hate flow through you
