This was obviously a fine and perfectly defensible position at the time and it was genuinely shameful that some people here wanted to boost their own cred by arguing that Trump should have been allowed every tool to continue his crusade to drive Hunter Biden to suicide.
Have any news outlets that ran scathing front page headlines, op-eds and editorials about Biden pardoning Hunter admitted that they were wrong after we've seen Trump maliciously prosecute Comey, James, McIver etc?

“Buddhism is not a religion” is fascinating to me because it’s a kind of Christian supremacy: what’s going unsaid here is “Buddhism is too dissimilar from Christianity, the ideal of religion, to be considered a religion.”

Once my mother learned about the Jewish tradition of Chinese restaurant food on Christmas Eve, we adopted it and haven't looked back since.

Cannot recommend Christmas Chili enough

One thing I noticed in today's whole debacle is the persistent refusal on the part of the dogpilers to make a distinction between "war" and "war crimes."
Pretending they're the same thing is idealistic madness at best, pure gaslighting at worst.

truly the best part of the rainbow b-52 thing is that the image doesn’t even show what’s being bombed, which is the actual determinant of whether the bombing is good or bad. notably, the odds the target is justified are also much better, if still not perfect, with the rainbow one.

this is true for basically all tradeswork, employers aren’t willing to pay enough for the training to make it worth it
a huge reason the auto industry cannot hire all the mechanics they need is lack of access to the technical education anyone needs to become an automotive technician! cost of this education & failure by corporations to train workers - also a huge factor.

The costs associated with naturalizing should be lower. How low, I admit I'm not sure, since that side of DHS is fee-funded. Speaking of...

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
