a lot of people are interpreting this as “wow elite liberals really hate the left” and while thats true, what’s mainly going on here is that elite liberals hate anyone who is young and did not complete the cursus honorum of local politics

i think that it is critically important to retaliate.
Trump will not just be four years of bad management. The culture of these organizations will be fucked for a long time. The pressure to retaliate and clean house will be strong, and no-one wants to work in a war zone.

The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times. Two emoluments clauses ban officials—unambiguously including the president—from accepting things of value, plus bribery is the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Unprecedentedly corrupt.

One could probably very easily go viral at the other place with a post angrily scolding non-existent libs that memorialized Cheney as a “great man”. Like “How dare you. Haven’t you heard of a little thing called The Iraq War?!”

This is ugly. But the reason this lady was protesting is even worse. ICE thugs detained two children and their father on their way to school. One child appears to have been beaten in detention, and no one seems to know where the 12-year-old girl is right now. The family had been seeking asylum.

This post is about video games.
"You're not entitled to the ability to participate in modern culture or socialization with other human beings in any kind of meaningful way" sure is an opinion to hold.
The responses this post is getting, combined with the animating grievances of large swathes of politics, has convinced me we need a kind of society wide PSA about how Buying Things Is Optional.

You don’t think video games should cost $100? Don’t buy the videogame. Buying Things Is Optional.

Struck me at the end of Trump's first term, post-impeachment, that even when he got bipartisan support (like for CARES) he didn't invite Dems to the bill signing.

I think about this bc there's a kneejerk political media instinct to ask Dems how they'll unify the country and it's getting very silly.
