I will also say that “I think the Dems should do another shutdown” and “I hate the coward Dems for only doing a 42 day shutdown last time” are mutually exclusive positions. Either you get credit for trying or trying is pointless, pick one
I have no idea if the Dems are planning another shutdown but this is functionally identical to what they were saying before they set a new shutdown record

“I am mad at Dems for voting for Rubio for Secretary of State in Jan. 2025” and “I am mad at Dems for making a serious and sincere attempt to stop any cabinet nominees at all ” are identical statements. I understand that because this requires abstract thinking it is beyond most users of this website

You are entitled to whatever your feelings are I guess but it is just flatly true that the current Senate Dems under Schumer are being substantially more obstructionist in the minority than the Republicans in the 111th Congress under McConnell

It is true that the overwhelming majority of federal defendants plead guilty but a lot of people on this website seem to miss that this is because almost all those people are factually guilty and the DOJ historically does not indict without overwhelming evidence of guilt
People also conflate state and federal criminal proceedings in a way that is understandable for a layperson but extremely analytically erroneous

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

The minority party just fundamentally doesn’t have a mechanism to deal with the majority party ceding all power to the executive, which is why yelling at Chuck Schumer to do better posts might not actually be a great use of energy

Johnson, Thune say Venezuela operation didn't require prior authorization
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) defended the Trump administration Monday for not consulting Congress ahead of its operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro. The administration notified the “Gang of Eight” — which includes Thune, Johnson, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)...

miller's feelings of inadequacy are the only well-grounded beliefs he has
this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy
MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

I need to emphasize that the mere fact that you have a thought does not in itself justify sharing that thought
Being born and raised in Jim Crow America is a valid reason to suspect that a judge will wrongly convict an innocent black defendant.
Besides very expected cognitive decline, even the rare fully cognitive 90 year old still grew up under racial apartheid and the overt criminalization of blackness.

we need a new rawlsian thought experiment but this one needs to be a thought experiment about "could you explain this action or post to a normal person on the street"

People appear to have a real strong intuition that some combination of Diane Feinstein not showing up to votes because she had dementia and RBG being replaced by a 50 year old Republican is broadly applicable to the elderly across all fields and situations and it’s not really a good intuition
If a senior status judge is still on the criminal wheel I suspect he’s quite alright managing a courtroom

I don’t want to call out this specific poster because this is a broader thing I’ve seen before, and IMO it’s absurd. Feel however you like about capitalism, it’s not the reason for writer’s block or artists feeling stagnant.

And in November, seven of the Democrats joined the Republicans after pouting for 42 days and getting no concessions.
They will not be making that mistake again. This time, Democrats caved early, and will not be leveraging healthcare subsidies in the shutdown.

I see many people are mad at Chuck Schumer for *checks notes* accurately describing how legislatures work
Schumer: "Republicans must -- if there was ever a time, they must step up to the plate. This is the time. And if they don't, they're gonna feel the heat from their constituents."
