Epstein's brother did tell reporters the FBI was scrubbing the files but there's no confirmation he knows what he's talking about.

Bunch of whiny, shortsighted imbeciles.

Either it's not personality or any assertion of fact that is perceived to be connected to a character trade must also be banned. No more calling the president christian, republican, Floridian, successful, or really anything. No more adjectives because any of them can be perceived as good or bad.

MDs literally took "doctor" from PhDs to take the respect and cultural cache academic doctorates bestowed and apply it to their own field, which they felt wasn't respected enough.

PhDs are the original doctors.

The argument you are describing of (different) Dems are doing both things (rejecting Mamdani and accepting Greene) is a useless one as it just says Dems aren't a single hivemind, which no one thought they were. The OP is clearly contrasting responses from *same* Dems. And again, Raskin accepts both.
November 17, 2025 at 4:10 PM
Otherwise you're reducing the OP to just making an argument that some Dems welcome Greene, some Dems reject Mamdani, some welcome both, some reject both... etc. It's just an argument that Dems aren't a single hivemind, which no one thought they were.

...Raskin isn't a good fact to assert it from. I'm not saying you're inventing; I'm just pointing out you're not picking the best support for your argument/the original post. Jeffries or Schumer, when they've done anything other than poo-poo Greene, would be good examples, Like this:

Raskin is a prominent Dem giving Greene and Mamdani the same basic welcome. The original post was about Dems generally giving contrasting responses to Mamdani and Greene, welcoming the latter while rejecting the former.

He's not an example of or a clue to that contrast. The contrast exists, but...
November 17, 2025 at 4:04 PM
I don't think this can accurately be described as two separate points when the original post is making a contrast between how Dems generally reacted to Mamdani and Greene. Raskin giving a consistent reaction between both isn't an example of half that contrast -- it is a counterexample to it.
November 17, 2025 at 3:58 PM
Yes, but the original comment is Dems going Zohran = no, Marjorie = yes

Raskin isn't an example of that.
November 17, 2025 at 2:04 PM
Not Joe, but Raskin endorsed Mamdani so he's not really an example of the original post. His big tent is actually big and includes Mamdani and Greene

Those questions are misplaced when you only ban SOME people for SOME kinds of death threats, and not even the most credible ones.

You banned a comedian for a comedic reference to a TV death but allow a government agency to post actual footage of them killing people alongside a threat to kill more.

That's a double heatsink model right? So harder to BBQ but ultimately still an opportunity for *~*alternative requisition*~* to take it for yourself

Space AT&T is a fandom nickname for Comstar, a faction you will meet in the campaign.

They run communications in the Inner Sphere and also have an ungodly arsenal of super-mechs they've been hoarding for centuries.

We posted the same basic idea at almost the exact same time, so you know it's a good one.

One of the best strategy games ever, genuinely. It's really a Harebrained Schemes (of Shadowrun fame) game published by Paradox in the one time Paradox Publishing didn't murder a game before release, though they sadly killed the sequel.

Play the regular game then consider modding for more depth.

Another bad take from Barro, who clearly starts with the assumption that depressed grades are reflective of students without accommodations' ability and knowledge, the actual things tests are intended to measure. These aren't game show contests where the time limit is a necessary and key part.

That'd be a lot easier if the Democrats weren't themselves corrupt.

See: the "clean" CR they strategically had 8 members who are conveniently all not up for reelection next year vote for in exchange for nothing legislatively, but plenty of Dems are paid by the same lobbyists as the GOP.
