  1. Fair enough. Although, in this case, the pig ignorant shittrolls started the thread, and the entire thread was a shittroll thread, as opposed to what they usually do with derailing threads with their shittrolling.
  2. Interesting that you think the people who sell you groceries, wipe your ass when you're in the hospital, or teach your children are "can't dos." Actually, it's not interesting. It's disgusting. I can't believe I'm quoting Christian scripture, but I guess "blessed are the poor" has gone by the wayside.
  3. Preferential treatment? I mean, I guess if you only use tunnel vision and look at federal income tax, rather than marginal rate on all taxes paid, including Social Security and sales tax, which gives the poor a higher marginal rate than the wealthy. Also, if you simply ignore that all the crap you consume, including the groceries you buy, the electronics driven across the country, your haircuts, the ChickFilA, the hospital cleaning crew, whatever, is subsidized by the non-living wages the people who help you live a comfortable life take home.
  4. It doesn't even matter. We've seen him act treasonously many times. There's enough smoking guns to supply an entire army. And the cult keeps on culting while everyone else is horrified. Those tax returns could be released and show him on Putin and Al Qaeda's payrolls and it still wouldn't matter.
  5. Also, and I said this on the abortion thread, and after the past 6 years we've all gotten used to destruction of rule of law, but the NY Times story really buries the lede. Alito was wined an dined by wealthy evangelical antiabortion activists, and then authored a radical decision tossing 50 years of stare decisis, doing exactly what those activists who paid him (in food, vacations, and donations to historical societies) wanted. This should result in the end of Alito's career, and should be an impeachable offense. But we'll all forget about it when the next scandal comes along in five minutes. Hell, it wasn't even the lede in the NYT story.
  6. Well, yeah. But that fucking NY Times story frames the issue as though the big problem is Alito leaking things. Not that Alito was wined and dined by wealthy anti abortion activists.
  7. Also why the fuck are big money political donors meeting with Supreme Court justices?

    LBGTQ

    They're just jealous. It's obvious who's having the better time.
  9. Yup. But more than a little disturbing that her retirement is happening in the setting of her husband being almost killed in a politically motivated attack.
  10. This. They're treating this like a white collar criminal case where the perp is stealing money, rather than the violent crime it is. Prosecutors don't let serial killers roam free until they perfect their case. They arrest the killer before he murders more people. Meanwhile, they're letting trump destroy the country. And, I'm not even sure we have 20 months. The GQP will defund DOJ before they let trump be prosecuted.
  11. L O fucking L at the idea that the political party, and I use that term loosely, whose entire platform in 2020 was quite literally just "trump" and who has spent the past two years spreading lies about elections, holding an actual, real primary, with debates and actual votes. Trump will be the nominee, and there won't be a real primary process.
  12. Trump isn't "running" for anything in the traditional sense. This is not a political campaign. This is just a continuation of the crime of overthrowing the government. The only open question is who will abet him.
  13. This is long, but seems like a really good explanation of what happened.
  14. This. Although the only reason any of those election days for house, senate, or the presidency have even been close since maybe 2004 is because of gerrymandering and the outsize role of small states. Nationally, dem candidates have crushed the GQP in votes. So 2024 will be a bonanza of voter suppression.
  15. You are the perfect encapsulation of the American snowflake right. Someone hurt my fee fees by disagreeing with my bullshit, so let’s engage in ad hominem personal attacks
  16. WTF is wrong with you? Why don't you go after the boatload of men who posted on here last night?
  17. Saw Glass Onion at a film festival a few weeks ago. It was great. Craig still hasn't nailed the southern accent. But just took it as some more of the jokes. No need to see Knives Out first. It's in the same universe, but the story is completely separate.
  18. The 2016 primary. Until trump won it. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/27/us/politics/trump-feud-fox-debate.html
  19. You should check what year you placed the bet for. Dems are playing with fire if they want trump as the GQP nominee. He won’t win, but he may cheat enough to take the office of presidential dictator. Either way, even if the dems keep technical control the country will be destroyed. You don’t flirt with fascists.
  20. The “power brokers” were going to torch him after grab ‘‘em by the pussy, 1/6, stealing national security documents, and on an on. They never even utter a word of discomfort, never mind abandoning him or going after him. The power brokers already assented to treason. There’s no coming back from that
  21. Trump will be the GQP nominee in 2024. Unless he dies. You don’t go from raising flags for a living person who you worship to turning on them. You just don’t. Anyone applying logic to the situation is misguided. This is all about emotions, worshiping false idols, and marks lacking the psychological ability to ever admit they were conned. Trump could be sitting in federal prison (spoiler he won’t be) and he would still be the nominee.
  22. It’s a cult. There’s no logic to whether the GQP breaks from him. They won’t. Unless and until their members are deprogrammed. Which isn’t happening because of polls, or common sense, or moderation.
