The never do. Despite the system constantly being corrupted in the opposition’s favor, they just roll over and talke it. IMO it’s a money problem. The big donors want the ROI, and big businesses are dictatorships. Those dictatorships align more with fascist/conservative policies more than they do liberal so democrats don’t want to upset the big business donors by inconveniencing their profit stream.

Thank you.

I have both, but I’m not cutting up the watermelon until tomorrow. Will try this.

Well it suits a narrative when there are crime and poverty issues to be exploited for publicity and political gain.

He could “officially” shoot someone on 5th Ave.

Strong incentive to not step down if you can just keep being a crook. Watch how quick the republicans start to argue over what is “official” and what isn’t depending on who is president.

I can’t unpaywall the article. The assumption he’d take some kind of meds is my own.

He even defends women from lecherous men! What a guy!

No, he isn’t always wrong, that’s why I mentioned the filtering part. More often than not the comic presents a reactionary, violent jerk or someone who says shitty things justified by “that’s how we all really feel but won’t say it out loud” kind of thing.

TBH because of his physical presentation at the debate. Yeah, it’s short-sighted, but welcome to the public thought process. Whatever is churned thru the latest 15 minute media cycle seems to be what they believe.

Doesn’t matter if he had a cold and was dosed up on NyQuil or whatever; his voice was weak, he stumbled over making coherent sentence multiple times, and he just had a blank, open-mouthed stare when between questions. I’ve had shitty colds and been drugged up with cold meds and I know that feel of being sore, exhausted, hoarse, and disconnected. You just want to go have a lie-down, not a public debate against a raging, insulting, narcissistic asshole. But it takes someone willing to understand all that and give Biden the benefit of the doubt.

There are far too many that start from the “old” part and just attribute everything possible to that which they find disagreeable.

Ok, so if presidents are shielded, I think Biden should fire the scotus, reinstate a liberal one, then have them rescind the ruling.

You must’ve spent a while filtering Mr. True’s compendium for his reasonable takes, you’d be a good “spin doctor”.

I’ll also offer the “sameness” of everything at malls. Let’s say you want jeans. There’s five shops that carry jeans. You want “normal” jeans, iow, not torn, not bleached, etc. Each shop carries jeans, but they are all some version of torn, worn, bleached, etc. For all the variety, they’re all the same.

Plus, mall overhead and branding makes the shops quite often more expensive than you might find at something like a Target or even a Kohls.

I’ve found that taking my kids to the mall to check out clothing we more often than not buy nothing despite visiting a half dozen shops. It’s all variations of the same thing along with being designer pricing.

If you watch the Canadian version it didn’t have a laugh track. IMO a much better presentation of the show.

Read.

Yeah, asd/adhd does that to you when you see how other people function “normally” and how your hangups are wildly more uncontrollable over trivial things. Then you get the adhd on top of that. Focus is a highly ambivalent and fickle creature. Good times. The brain being the reality we each experience, I think people with neurodivergence actually do experience a different reality than normative people do.

The mods didn’t say a word about anything other than ineffectively attempting to get trump to answer a question once or twice.

The opposite of a jumbo small.

I think “without rambling” is more than just a stretch. Dude was all over place, but he was able to ramble clearly.

I agree on some points, the peace in Palestine while still sending weapons to Israel is just absurd. However the coherence of Republican policy is its reductionist simplicity and that it publicly really has nothing to do with running the country - while quietly working on their project 202x theofascist plans.

But then that’s a problem with liberal policy, it’s constantly trying to juggle all the needs of the many different groups in the country vs Republican policy which says there’s only one policy: Theirs.
