All this tells me is that in 20 years the opposition hasn’t adjusted their tactics. Talking here about the citizens, not the elected officials you already knew weren’t going to help.

so predictable

Have you been working very hard to change that fact?

You sound like the opposing team in Air Bud insisting there’s a SERIOUS procedural problem here and totally ignoring the fact that a golden retriever is just dunking on you over and over again.

Like… if he’s just a dumb jackass- it does NOT reflect well on you that you haven’t put a stop to it yet. The only possible takeaway is that you’re a huge coward, not that you don’t know what do do.

I don’t understand how this guy has been on international news for decades and Americans still don’t understand how he operates and continue to take the things he says at face value.

This is a demoralization tactic.

It’s not about Biden, it’s not about conspiracies. It’s about rubbing your nose in it.

“Look at the absurd shit I can say and lose no support. Look at how brazenly I can spew this garbage and look at how you’re doing nothing about it. Fuck you, I win, and you won’t even try to stop me.”

I lived there for six-ish years- from 1998 until 2004.

When Americans re-elected GWB, I realized “this place is RAPIDLY becoming a shithole that’s only going to get worse.” I got the hell out as soon as I was able, and every single day since, I’ve been more relieved I left when I did.

Oh, the report did it? “The report” garbled science? The report decided to use AI?

That aside, the use of the passive voice in this article is goddamn near parody levels.

Preach

Sure. You know. Handling high-pressure blowouts and the occasional hammer job if things get complicated.

Are you a psychologist who also specializes in redacted?

So defensive.

Let’s stop pretending that wearing a uniform automatically means someone served their country. If you signed up to enforce what the US military has been doing for decades, you didn’t serve your country, you served the machinery that exploits it.

Thankfully, you now have the opportunity to prove it counted for something. If not- well, not only are you not fighting back, you’re a veteran that isn’t fighting back.

So, nothing really.

You won’t be disappeared for doing a cute little protest with the consent of the people you’re protesting against.

I came in here to call Americans cowards but it looks like you’re already here making sure it’s covered.

Nevermind, I’m full of shit- Mike Johnson isn’t Mormon, he’s a southern Baptist- so, yeah, this tracks.

I always believed that Mormons had some principles- ones I didn’t agree with, sure- but at least they had their own set of standards. People like Harry Reid, or Mitt Romney, even. I never expected them to take the same path as the evangelicals, who, as far as I could ever tell, never stood for anything longer than five minutes. Say what you want about the old-school LDS- but they used to live by their code, even if that code made your skin crawl. At least you knew where they stood.

I like how tech bro garbage will just nod their heads at this. Their total lack of self-respect cracks my shit up.

“Rock over London, Rock on Chicago”

Why wouldn’t they? Americans continue to allow it.
