If there is even a single sheet of paper that didn't get burned when the house burnt down, the fire was fake
Going to need to a complete and total shutdown on podcasters and political livestreams until we can figure out what’s going on

"I live in a democracy but the candidates I like rarely win. Therefore, democracy is of no use to me." is the basis of way too much leftist thought on here and frankly we need to do a lot better job shutting these people down and shaming them for it than we've been doing.

I'm assuming by "fought to be politically correct" he means "we didn't just fire bomb the entire country." Which I mean is about what we did in Vietnam anyway.
Trump: "We won World War 1. We won everything. World War 2. And everything before, during, and a little bit after except we fought a little bit differently. We fought to be politically correct. We were a politically correct force with the presidents. But now we have a real force."

I mean they have lied about almost literally every thing else, so this should not be a surprise.
Video footage appears to contradict key aspects of a federal indictment’s descriptions of former CNN anchor Don Lemon’s actions at a protest last month inside a church in Minnesota, according to a review by The Post.

The problem with having an intelligent discussion on Israel and Gaze is that a lot of people on both sides are just completely nuts. Neither will respect a distinction between Israel as a state and Jews as a people.
An essential part of the term “blood libel” is that it was an accusation made against Jews with no proof or evidence. Those accusing the state of Israel of committing genocide have marshaled extensive evidence. It demeans the term “blood libel” to compare them.

I'm all for pardons and second chances. But it's a hell of a juxtaposition to pardon millionaire NFL players convicted of drug distribution while you're summarily executing impoverished fishermen making a few hundred bucks to shuttle drugs around the Caribbean.
President Trump pardons Hall of Famer Joe Klecko and four other former NFL players
Trump pardoned Klecko, Nate Newton, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry and the late Billy Cannon for crimes ranging from perjury to drug trafficking.

I wonder how soon before judges give up with the niceties they usually afford the government.

West Virginia is also refusing to submit voter rolls to the federal government. Pretty strong statement here from the WV SoS.

I mean the problem with Trump is you can run on several of about a hundred different outrages
If you can’t run on, ‘We’re killing kids worldwide specifically so this asshole can have a bigger security team and live large on your tax dollars,’ I can’t help you.

Honestly would not be surprised if this happens more. Although it would be good to, you know, check if they are still using it for that first.
KMBC: "A woman tried to set a fire at a South Kansas City warehouse that had been rumored as a possible ICE detention center. Earlier today, the company that owns the property confirmed it is no longer moving forward with a sale to the U.S. government."

I mean one would hope, but with 53 votes (and the VP tiebreak) you never know with these guys
By all appearances, Jeremy Carl’s State Department nomination is in real trouble.
That’s good news, but it doesn’t negate the underlying question that the White House needs to answer: Why did Trump nominate this guy?

Accused of being a white nationalist, Trump State Dept. nominee faces bipartisan pushback
Jeremy Carl’s odds of success are poor and falling, but there’s a larger question hanging overhead: Why in the world did the president nominate this guy?

You are either 100% full on board with someone or 100% against them. There is no in between.
a very persistent thing on here is
poster a: untrue claim about a political figure - often a justly dislikable or objectionable one
poster b: correction of untrue claim
poster a: oh so you support them
it's part of the general comprehension collapse but it's a distinct dynamic.

I mean this is true...to an extent. If someone doesn't represent someone, they can be primaried!
But having said that, it is still irrational voter behavior to allow an enemy to be elected because an ally is imperfect if that is your final choice.

We live in a representative democracy. people vote for those who represent them. if a politician fails to make the case that they can effectively represent a sect of voters, that is on the politician, not the voter.
it is a politician's only job to convince voters.

If the left does that it would their stupidity boosting fascists again. Newsom will be nominated if he gets the most votes. Don’t do this “well I don’t like him” crap that’s going to keep putting repubs in, haven’t you learnt the lesson yet?

What is wild is he'll be chummy with them on his podcast then go to some event and blast the same people he just hung out with.

he basically calculated that he could be chummy on his podcast with steve bannon and a couple of other people and nobody would take it too seriously. this does not seem to have panned out. but it was pretty clearly just, uh, a calculated attempt to pretend at centrism

they probably can. TSA may be the main sticking point but they may be marked essential anyway. It's not like Trump is using FEMA. And the Coast Guard is probably mostly being used to hunt down boats of random people.

Bro is only 11 years above the minimum age. Senate seats open every 6 years. Yeah, there is a pretty good chance very few people your age are in the Senate.
"Millennials or younger"
Um...perhaps that's because YOU HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 30 YEARS OLD TO BE A U.S. SENATOR, genius.
Over 37% of the population is under 30.
(I agree it'd be nice to have some younger Senators, but this guy ain't it.)

Nearly 60% of Americans are Millennials or younger. Yet we make up just 4% of the U.S. Senate.

boy it's a good thing SCOTUS very likely made it illegal to prosecute even an ex-president for Bribery in handing out pardons
Two of them were convicted drug traffickers. But hey, they were former NFL players so they shouldn’t have to endure those kinds of things on their records. As usual, follow the money.
