I think Pod Save America said that Fox News was talking about very minor protests happening now at an ICE place in Portland - where there have been one to four people protesting - and showing both that footage AND footage of much more significant action from 2020, presumably without making it clear that some of what they were showing was from years ago.
That might explain a lot.
One of my local schools just up and disappeared in a puff of smoke. I couldn’t make out the green numbers that were hanging in the air for awhile afterwards to see how much budget it got them back.
Hey now, President Camacho may not have been a terribly smart man, but he definitely wanted to get the smartest person in the room working on real problems to find real solutions. Don’t drag his name by comparing him to Trump.
When we NEED to be in a Scooby-Doo cartoon, where the villains is generally a white male landowner who gets caught.
That’s a fun way to get out of answering a legitimate question: ad hominem attacks.
Survivor of crime becomes crime-fighter, survivor of catastrophe saves people from disasters.
“Be the person you needed when you were younger” feels applicable.
Not sure it’s even possible to achieve being “completely free of corruption from moneyed lobbying”, but at least getting to a system where the legislature or whoever has the power and the will (if not absolute mandate) to continually evaluate the situation and combat corruption (sanctioning, suspending, or expelling violators; penalizing lobbyists who don’t follow the rules; amending the rules as needed to keep ahead of the problems).
There’s just not enough real consequences for any of these people failing to live up to the standards we should expect of them.
*all one breath* AMERICA IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN AN EXPLICITLY CHRISTIAN NATION, YOU CAN’T JUST COME IN HERE AND ACT LIKE ANYONE NOT CHRISTIAN ISN’T JUST DOING IT WRONG (like you’ve always done) BUT NOW IS ESSENTIALLY GUILTY OF TREASON, THAT IS NOT OKAY! *giant Kirby-level breath*
*Clarification: Directed at MAGA, of course, not this commenter
Well, usually. Sometimes they prey on their own, when the mood strikes.
So, you chased the tiger back and you caught each other.
I am sitting down and tried to feel out what control I could exert over this. I think I might have found it pretty quickly, because as I tried relaxing it it seemed like my posture was trying to change into “crumple via gravity”.
They get so close to putting the pieces together. One commenter said they were pro-union, because people can’t make as much money as they used to (“a janitor in the '60s could support a family, vacations, etc” to paraphrase the commenter). Kind of missing that unions and pro-worker efforts are a big part of why society had gotten to that point of wages, job security, etc.
“Economic anxiety grows under Trump, creating a new political liability for the GOP.”
FOX News machine go brrrrrr
“Economic … grows under Trump, creating a new political …ability for the GOP.”
I love the one response I saw, “wouldn’t that make Katie Miller a sexual bull?” Because there are so many different ways to take it from there, and many don’t paint Stephen Miller in the lights he’d rather be seen publicly.
A fool and his money aren’t necessarily parted soon enough.
I want to jump on the pedantry train. Around 36% of eligible voters didn’t cast a ballot for president, so if Trump received 49.8% of the vote, then - in the original terms of “x% of voters out Trump in the White House” - .498 * (1-0.36) = about 32% of voters. Meaning more eligible voters didn’t vote than selected Trump.
The highest voter share went to “abstain”.
It’s one thing for people to be willing to go along with all the bad politicking. It’s just another entirely if Trump’s participation in child rape is publicly proved. That’s a REAL hard pill for most people to swallow.
Oh, I thought it was a kind of lingerie my mom used to wear.
I HAVE to say this is a joke.
