  1. I think they are more like Abram's asses and she-asses. from the Old Testament.
  2. Sounds like something y'all bitches would say.
  3. I hate the fucking hat but if this guys gets some legs I'm definately sending him some money.
  4. Yes, because Dems would be completely silent if the Republicans made any hamfisted comparisons using the Taliban, or Nazis. I'm sorry, I understand that in a grad school poly sci class we could all sit around and discuss similarities between hostile act propagated by nations and warlords, but she's a congresswoman, and in less than two years the congresspeople who sit precariously in red states are going to have to fight off the bullshit that is being thrown at them from the right, and this just doesn't help. Unforced error.
  5. Take a look at what you've done, too. It's a stupid fucking statement because it needless creates equivalence between the Taliban and the US. If you'd just as soon live under Taliban governance as US governance, I would think the statement would make sense. Could someone explain why it would be a good thing to have appropriate forums for justice that would treat all nations (and terrorists groups) with some sort of due process? Sure, but they'd use careful words and they would need more than a tweet. If they didn't give a shit about fucking over their most likely allies and hurting their chances of election in the next, tight election cycle, they would do a dumbass tweet.
  6. No one who is sentient cares about ANYTHING Republicans are claiming these days, so no need to be too outraged about any particular stupidity.
  7. People who say true things are wonderful.
  8. That's a pretty fucking stupid statement.
  9. Is this Korner and the Kerner of Kernersville relations?
  10. Progressives and moderates SHOULD be in lockstep on being unmistakably and aggressively against insurgency and vote suppression. They also SHOULD come together on a solid number of economic issues, where moderates just have to quit being pussies. I'd expect them to continue to push back on each other on many economic issues but I'm fine with that tension. In other words, while there can be little to no bipartisanship in this environment, there should be lots of work being done on "intrapartisanship" amongst non-Republicans. Moderates need to give when giving is easy -- i.e., anything that doesn't harm the ability of markets to further economic efficiency and progress. There is a lot of room to work in that space.
  11. Garland in strategy meetings...
  12. I had no idea how badly the Dems had failed under Obama's stewardship.
  13. These are broad sentiments, and Dems need to focus. They need to pick their battles. They have only 49 senate votes. Dems should be focused on four issues. 1) insurrection. Pick the battle. It's not going to be bipartisan. It should be through Justice Department prosecutions and executive branch investigations. 2) voting issues. It's not going to be bipartisan. It should be fought through the Justice Department and through the Courts and through grassroots and voter registration and get out the vote at the local level. 3) Climate change. It might be a tad bipartisan, maybe just a bit. Get market based policies in place. Use executive orders if you can. 4) Worker rights. It's not going to be bipartisan. Put aggressive people in Executive offices, put some structure into government contracting, and politically make it hard for Republicans in red states to vote against workers. They are posturing as populists now, so use that. Start working FOR you constituents and do it so well that the Trump constinuency has no where to grow. And stop wasting time playing on their turf (cancel culture). It's a waste of time.
  14. Maybe Merrick Garland kind of sucks.
  15. Not me. Not near enough and frankly, I'm not sure how anyone gets any satisfaction for such useless drivel. a) Here is what we did. b) Here is why we did it. c) We're on to the next issue. Next election cycle will put it all together so you can score. Instead, all we get is Dems on twitter whining about voting rights, whining about trans issues, whining about no Jan. 6 commission. It's all the equivalent of Trump tweeting "DO SOMETHING" except its not funny, it's just a waste of effort.
  16. Unless you are toothless inbred in West Virginia, you aren't going to be able to do jack shit about Joe Manchin. If you live in Texas, do what you can to vote these assholes out. https://www.texasgop.org/leadership-directory/texas-house-of-representatives/ https://www.texasgop.org/leadership-directory/texas-state-senate/ https://www.texasgop.org/leadership-directory/united-states-congress/ https://www.texasgop.org/leadership-directory/united-states-senate/ You have 48-49 people in the Senate who are willing to do what you want. That's it. Get the fuck over it. Who is the Biden Justice Department fucking over today? I don't know and I wish I did.
  17. The PT boat attack in "They Were Expendable" is pretty damned awesome.
  18. It's a chore, although it looks like there is a Criterion edition, but "The Human Condition" for one Japanese perspective as to the war's effect on an individual. I mean, what are you going to do with 9 and a half hours, anyway, watch two college baseball games? The British film critic David Shipman described the trilogy in his 1983 book, The Story of Cinema, as "unequivocally the greatest film ever made."[12] In his review for The New York Times in 2008, A. O. Scott declared, "Kobayashi's monumental film can clarify and enrich your understanding of what it is to be alive."[13] Critic Philip Kemp, in his essay written for The Criterion Collection's release of the trilogy, argues that while "the film suffers from its sheer magnitude [and] from the almost unrelieved somberness of its prevailing mood ... The Human Condition stands as an achievement of extraordinary power and emotional resonance: at once a celebration of the resilience of the individual conscience and a purging of forced complicity in guilt (of a nation and, as the title implies, of the whole human race)."[6]
