  1. Exactly. And if there are allegations of local corruption and conspiracy, the states can police that. Except for isolated violations of federal laws (e.g., vandalizing a federal building), it's only a federal matter if there were violations of constitutional rights, and if there were any they definitely weren't significant enough to warrant a congressional investigation. Not to mention that we already know pretty much all the facts about the riots. What the hell would congress investigate?
  2. That's a pleasant surprise. The other day I heard about a poll where something like 50% of Rs credited the GOP for Biden's Rescue Plan even though not a single fucking one of them voted for it. I'm sure most of those are pure Trumpers and unreachable, but the staggering ignorance of a large chunk of the electorate is a humongous roadblock to our democracy functioning rationally.
  3. That's the plan after this fails. Dems preferred a bipartisan commission, I guess based on the belief that it would have more credibility, particularly with the Rs. But it's foolish to think the average R would pay even the slightest attention to the investigation.
  4. I just performed the weirdest Google searches in an attempt to understand this reference. Then I realized it's about the poster.
  5. One touchy-feely recruiting ad is definitely going to diminish our fighting ability. It's science. And even if it were true that a military's ads mattered, it's stupid to act like our military doesn't put out copious ads just like the Russian one.
  6. So switch parties then.
  7. This is like saying there's no fundamental difference between habitually watching hot lesbian pr0n and habitually watching hippos fuck. Sure there's a common denominator, but I'd say there are some pretty big fundamental differences.
  8. I just recently learned that some clown known as pewdiepie became a multi-millionaire via people watching him play videogames on YouTube. This discovery short circuited my brain. I didn't even know watching someone else play videogames was a thing. I still don't understand how or why it is.
  9. It may be the inevitable fate of democracies rife with ignorance, disinformation, and anti-intellectalism.
  10. It's a race relations viewpoint that is supposedly being taught in public schools and diversity training. Or the right wingers are trying to preempt it from being taught in public schools. I'm not sure which it is, probably both. I know UT and other universities have courses based on it. From my limited understanding of CRT, it argues that policy and actions that don't have racist intentions but produce disproportionately negative effects for POC. An example would be single family zoning; it's a racist policy because it tends to limit the number of minorities. So it basically expands the definition of "racism" beyond what some (including me) conceive it to mean. But that concern is really just a semantic one. Another common objection is that CRT looking at almost everything through a racial lens is counterproductive in various ways, including nurturing resentment and guilt of whites, and all for things they didn't even intentionally cause. Note that I haven't studied CRT and the above is based on my limited reading of commentary re: CRT, so anyone interested should do their own research. Hopefully this post is at least a little accurate and useful to those who aren't or weren't sufficiently interested.
  11. Don't forget impregnated.
  12. I'd have sympathy for pops if his wife wasn't an epically bilious cunt. He clearly sanctions those beliefs, if not holds them himself under a veneer of moderation.
  13. When one of your two parties goes fascist, it's only a matter of time until the country does. Especially when there's nothing that party isn't willing to do to get and keep power. The Nazis are a case in point. They were a minority in Germany, but Germany became fascist.
  14. This. The other party trying to conceal their involvement in a monumental criminal conspiracy is the perfect justification for going nuclear. It is impossible to imagine a better opportunity for fixing the senate, and by extension, congress. And of course this commission is an absolute imperative. The Dems should be fucking ashamed of themselves if they don't take it. Looking at you Joe Manchin, you coward.
  15. I just thought to myself, I'd bet my life that the Rs have accused the left of doing this. And voila.
  16. I can't even imagine how douchey/cunty/horrible his spawn is. Or maybe I just don't want to.
  17. Very true. One thing I learned from my tinder dating days was that any chick who describes herself as "blunt," "honest to a fault," etc. is invariably a cunt.
  18. I don't really think we're going to have a military coup here. But, in the hypothetical, I'm not sure you can compare the US civilian population to the Iraqi insurgency. The insurgents had AKs, RPGs, grenades and shit. We've basically got a bunch of AR-15s, and I'd wager most of them are owned by the Trumpists. The Trumpists would obviously control the countryside, so the military could just blockade the biggest cities and subdue us via starvation.
  19. I completely disagree with this. Their fear of his base overrides everything else. And they are smart enough to know there's a 100% chance they'd get killed (figuratively and threatened with the literal sense daily) and be voted out of office.
  20. I strongly believe he and the Rs are going to try to ensure that he can't lose. The fraud and ratfucking from the Rs across the country in 2024 is going to be off the charts and like nothing we've ever seen.
  21. Oh well yeah. I should have said "almost everyone who's not a trumpist."
  22. I don't understand the objective of blatantly lying like this. I guess it's either simply to gaslight us, or this guy has really deluded himself into believing what he's saying is true.
  23. Are you saying that you don't think he runs in 24? I think he'd make more money by running again. And while he's lazy when it comes to actual work, that doesn't apply to rallies, which he loves doing more than anything in the world. I think he runs because he hates losing and being seen as a loser. This is a guy who cheated in a meaningless online poll of top business people.
