  1. Wait, you think ACA subsidy cuts are perceived as bipartisan? I think a lot of you have developed Helsinki Syndrome. No, it’s a base problem. The Democrat base thinks everything is the end. See above. Their mentality is a combination of Bill Paxton in Aliens and Jefferson’s brother in Fast Times. Look Democrat messaging is absolutely terrible because it’s so inauthentic and irrelevant, not to mention boring, poorly targeted and inefficiently delivered. But messaging from the position of opposition is far less important than whether the governing majority is keeping their coalition together, and they aren’t. The bottom line is that Democrats are incompetent, weak and out of touch, but the voting coalition is angry, focused and motivated. Meanwhile, the Republican coalition is in worse shape than they have been in over a decade.
  2. 100% correct
  3. This has been hashed and rehashed on the shutdown thread, but suffice it to say that they are extremely, extremely upset about how the shutdown went for them and how it ended.
  4. The DA may not have much to work with- I’m not a lawyer and I don’t know about Indiana, but I’ve talked to cops and prosecutors here about this and even many of them think that front porch laws in Texas can create a way for homeowners to literally get away with what would normally be murder or manslaughter.
  5. I’ve got a lot of guns, but I don’t even keep the ammo and the guns in the same building, for three reasons: 1) I don’t want to shoot anybody 2) I live in a really safe neighborhood, in a safe city, in a safe country, at one of the safest moments in history. 3) I live with a couple of goofy furballs who are also territorial alpha predators that have been genetically selected over 5000 years for noisemaking and protective behavior. I don’t understand anyone who would be paranoid enough to keep a gun in the home for “home defense” and wouldn’t also have dogs as a first line of defense.
  6. Pelinka saw the vision I guess
  7. I know you guys bravely stay in lefty safe spaces, but between their perception of who won the shutdown (Democrats), Trump going around saying that Chinese college Students and H1B visas are MAGA actually, and the sudden realization that their movement actually IS half a basket of deplorables, the right are having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week.
  8. I love this tweet, I love the clip, I love the reaction, I love it all. Love love love 💕 💕 This is what Chappelle meant when he called Donald Trump an “honest liar.”
  9. “When they moved from Windswept Farms to The Heritage they thought they had left the violence and chaos of Biden’s open border policy behind. Then it knocked on their front door. After the break, we’ll meet a retired police officer in the fight of his life, facing jail time for defending his own home. We’ll be right back, with The Story.” - Martha MacCallum
  10. This, although the reputation is a distant third. Most of the population this board wishes they could Thanos out of existence isn’t capable of getting themselves here from another city on their own. It’s a combination of people who were already here when their lives collapsed or were dumped here, sometimes without even being told where they were going. And, for what it’s worth, the reputation is unearned. This is a pretty terrible place to be homeless compared to other cities.

  12. That’s a fantastic suggestion.

  14. Of course it’s not enough. But you can’t have one without the other. Lol touchè. But here’s the thing- all this whining doesn’t seem grounded in fact. I’ll ask you the same two questions I’ve asked others: 1) what did the GOP gain? 2) what did it cost them?
  15. We the People already gave them that power. Making them own what they’ve done the only thing Democrats can do right now.
  16. It’s never just one thing, but the impact of that one thing was in excess of Trump’s margin of victory.
  17. Sure, But, how long before Democrats start paying the price? My guess is early next week. Pigs get fat. Hogs get slaughtered. Which was? Probably. It was the right thing to do, and it was worth taking it to next week to find out. But saving the GOP from their own angry voters before the midterms isn’t something Democrats should pay a price for. At the end of the day the GOP is going to wear the price of healthcare going up into November unless they actually do something tangible to fix it (and they’ll need Democrats for that).
  18. Some, sure. But, what the the GOP gain and what did it cost them?
  19. Why not both? Maybe they should learn to win more elections and then they can get the policies they want. Until then, success is measured in terms of how much trouble they can create for the governing coalition without paying a political price. In this case, it was a lot.
  20. They shut down the government for over a month and it cost them no support while the GOP was bleeding. What are you talking about?
  21. Nice strawman, but as long as you’re going there, what happened last Tuesday?
  22. Realistic, eh? Let’s try doing this differently. For those who think the GOP “won the shutdown,” what did they gain and what did it cost them?
