Perfect

If I may, there’s something I need to get off my chest. As democracy remains under siege, it has been frustrating to watch how the press covers politics these days. I am reminded by lessons that came to me during the Nixon years as a CBS News correspondent, which I’ll add here: 1. Enough with Both-sides-ism When one side lies intentionally and repeatedly, they are no longer entitled to the benefit of the doubt. They should be held to account, right away. Do not simply repeat the narratives they spew. 2. Prioritize Live Fact-Checking Rigorous and robust fact-checking is the best defense against misinformation, intentional lies, and deflection. If Trump says the sky is green, the story isn’t that the sky is now green; the story is that the sky is still blue and Trump got it wrong. 3. Ask Lawmakers Hard Questions Ask about the fundamental principles of democracy. Push them to go on the record that Biden won the 2020 election. Ask if they support the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. This writing is not to offer any claim of knowing it all. Your correspondent has made his share of mistakes, but after more than seven decades I believe I have picked up a few useful guideposts. Good journalism is always worth it. Our democracy depends on it.

Uh yea they are.

Keep talking shit about America's first and longest ally, without whom the United States wouldn't exist. Yes, they can be prickly at times, but we've never warred with them. You talk as though the defeat in a war in which many other countries fell to Germany before France, e.g., Austria, Poland, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and Belgium, equates to cowardness as a national characteristic. If not for France's sacrifice at Dunkirk and the Channel, the UK most assuredly would've also fallen in the early stages of that war. Who the fuck knows what the world would look like if the English couldn't have run away to fight another day? Personally, I know far more French than English, and they've been truly great, reliable, loyal, fun-loving, but also provocative friends. Je les aime, les français. Ils définissent une irritabilité adorable mais profonde. If you don't know any, your life is all the much poorer. Go find a French to love.

Where do we have Trump on tape trying to overthrow the government? Uh, in Atlanta.

And she didn’t incite a violent assault on the Capitol in an effort to have her installed as president despite the results of the election. You fucking clown.

"“Compromise is a dirty word. We’ve arrived at that crossroad, and we chose anger and division. I believe in my approach, but it’s not what America wants right now,” Sinema said." Stupid, lying, disingenuous cunt. How many bills had a "no" vote from every republican, and every democrat was a yes except her and sometimes Manchin? She unilaterally blocked a lot of shit, that's not compromise, that's killing legislation that would otherwise pass. That happens after compromise negotiations take place. Lankford is an example of someone trying to compromise and being blocked by his own party. Democrats had bills that would pass except she was the obstructionist. That whole article makes me ragey. Go join Only Fans already you vapid bitch.

It's very hard to treat you as a good faith interlocutor when you say shit like this.

He didn't just push the lie. He submitted fraudulent documents to states. He actively conspired and planned to get the false documents accepted into federal proceedings. They wanted to hang Mike Pence because he would not accept the fraudulent documents. THEY BROUGHT FUCKING GALLOWS TO THE CAPITAL That's not just talking about things, man. That's conspiracy and insurrection.

I think it’s time to leave. Texas is a shithole.

No way. Both you and @956 Worldwide are well informed on the geopolitical scene and I very much enjoy your posts.

Let's be honest, circumstances aside, it's one of the great photos in American history. That doesn't mean it needs to be used in government offices and publications, though, given the back story.

apparently, less than a box of fucking rocks if you think that trump and HRC are equivalent in their behavior post-electoral loss

Democrats: we can't pack the court, such an aggressive move would just be matched by the Republicans in due time Republicans: hold our beer, we've been unilaterally making aggressive moves for over 50 years

Not trivial, but...

You're missing the best part of the paradox. Texas underutilized all this talent v. Texas will suck next year because they lost so much talent.

I keep thinking about this quote from "Slaughterhouse Five": “America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”
