I just want to add to this that the worst part about people believing the President is responsible for every govt decision and action is how it has given rise to autocratic sentiment.
I also disagree with this apparent attempt to deflect blame onto Biden for an atrocity committed by MAGA extremism.
No need to bet. One of the things said by GOP officials here is that Zeigler couldn't get away with this because he's not Trump.
The core basis of conservatism is the belief in inequality under the law. Not economic inequality, not socialism or communism, but that people should be unequal in...
Given that Musk endorsed a narrative based upon the premise that there is little if any variation within an average, I would say that definitely calls his intelligence (or honesty) into question.
Fun fact: southern red states, particularly Mississippi, have by far the lowest credit scores in the nation. They average ~680 FICOs while blue states average ~720. And the primary reason why? Medical debt.
It seems that the entirety of right-wing thought consists of the retelling of easily disproven (usually defamatory) lies as a means of a purity test. Go along with the lie, and you're one of them. Point out the lie and you're the evil other.
In this case, the idea that the average SAT scores at...
It helps IMO to see the 14a in its historical context as the biggest FU imaginable by the Union states onto the Confederates, and especially Texas.
God knows those slave owning shitheads deserved it, but their feels still haven't gotten over the idea that a black man or an immigrant is as...
Yes, which would be fucking disastrous for freedom in America. But is exactly what Republicans want.
Liberals and Dems aren't seeing the big picture here. They think this is all about abortion or minority rights but the threat is much much worse.
I wouldn't put it past this court to try to rule the 14a unconstitutional.
The 14a is the one that guarantees that the Bill of Rights applies to every American at every level of govt. Which is why conservatives hate it so. When they call themselves "Originalists," that's really just codespeak...
It's interesting how these populist/nationalist leaders like to play the Champion of the People but are really just conmen clowns distracting the people from the global elites robbing them blind.
It's somehow so obvious a con, yet it fools so many.
Why should any patriotic American have the backs of govt officials who are openly hostile to their rights and freedoms?
No govt agency should be allowed to operate without public accountability, least of all a govt agency with the legal power to use violent force on citizens. That just begs for...
I was speaking to the larger narrative of the thread, wherein govt agencies that are almost entirely controlled by the GOP (law enforcement) are incredibly shitty at their jobs, but the campaign rhetoric is that that's all the Dems' fault.
No, crime is just a convenient (and politically advantageous) scapegoat for getting a tax break in the 'burbs. Don't be so gullible.
And yes, I've already commented more than once here that the "crime wave" rhetoric is coming from people who are upset that the police can no longer murder people...
To be honest, I had no idea Boomer was still relevant to anyone until Getty brought him up here. Wasn't too surprised though to find him with the rest of has-been b-listers, bottom-feeding grifting the most gullible demographic in America.
Aren't you concerned about how alienating the large gun control voting bloc will cost Trump the election?
And you have it wrong BTW. The GOP doesn't believe in a country filled with guns. They believe in a country where their guns are pointed at all the conveniently disarmed people they don't...
Do you also believe that the Republicans need to do more to pander to the gun control crowd? They too are a sizeable voter bloc that's deeply concerned about crime. Why is the GOP ignoring them?
They're not those voters at all but thanks for the playing.
The Dems have no need to pander for votes from the crowd that supports cops murdering black people, or otherwise encourage the govt to break the law and violate the Constitutional rights of Americans under the dishonest pretense of...
So he's a champion of racist culture warrior jocks. Who gives a shit? That's the crowd that's quietly hoping Trump becomes America's first dictator. Dems have no reason to pander to those types because FAR more voters disagree with them than agree.
Maybe the Chicago PD should do something about it and their among-the-lowest-in-the-nation clearance rates then?
It seems silly to blame the Democrats for the miserable performance of a de facto GOP-controlled govt agency, doesn't it?
Yet another bad faith argument from conservatives that...
I just marvel at how Getty is like a microcosm of right-wing bad faith arguments. A one stop shop for the kind of self-serving baldfaced lies that conservatives require to constantly defend the morally and ethically indefensible.
Case in point, right off the bat he agreed this "crime wave" is a...
Except that no one ever said that every cop is a racist. So that was Boomer using a broadbrush to make a bad faith argument.
I bet the reason why he did that is the same reason why he's never complained about white conservatives using the flag to make a political statement.
And why should we take those complaints seriously coming from people who interject the flag into every single thing they do politically?
No, they were just mad that black people get to use the flag to make political statements too. Because in truth they support that racism in policing and...
If you ever want to see what those fucking parade clowns really think of the 2a and the Constitution, just tell them the Constitution guarantees the same 2a rights to antifa and BLM as it does to them.
And then you'll see some strict Constitutionalist patriots attack the Constitution as...
The stupid statement came for the former President who claims to support the 2a while simultaneously trying to disarm anyone he disagrees with of even cans of fucking soup.
Your stupid comes from not be able to realize what you're defending.
Why should the Republicans get any credit for the economy when they're the ones who tank it every time with their pump and dump ponzi schemes? First the housing bust then crypto and the pandemic loose monetary policies. Republicans pump up the economy so they get rich then dump it so Democrats...
I feel like I'm being Ben Shapiro trolled here.
First, the law doesn't use 2 different words to describe the same thing. That's just contrary to legal principles, where everything is defined as clearly and rigidly as possible in order to prevent unintended interpretations.
Second, while...
Gotta say, I always appreciate that the same people who insist liberal speech is treason and that voting D is a criminal offense are themselves perpetually concerned about Musk's free speech and Trump's presumption of innocence.
The very same people who sincerely believe holding trials for black...
Dude, not being able to run for POTUS in a single state does not in any way jeopardize a person's life or liberty and therefore presumption of innocence is not required under the law.
And just as the law should not be used as a political weapon, we should not withhold the application of the law...
The key difference here is that Biden has played no role in Trump being removed from the Colorado ballot. Not only that, as POTUS, he has no authority over Colorado state court system whatsoever. So Russia not found.
I don't personally know much about the federal system in India, but in the...
I strongly disagree. Trump had clear plans of getting the military to back his coup and without the intervention of Gen Milley that very well might have happened.
These MAGA extremists are violent AF
