aka “Reality is hard to campaign about, so instead we’ll campaign on fake, made-up shit”
Or , more likely, “focus groups said real issues will only lose us support”
unpopular opinion: On street parking is a mistake.
It creates problems like this and takes way too much policing to prevent streets from looking like dumps, disrupts visibility and results in overly large streets that require oversized, polluting stormwater solutions while limiting space for buildings and people.
I hear a lot of generalities here, but nothing specific.
Which “Leftists” are you talking about? What things are being “ignored” that Harris said? That the 101st is doing training exercises in the EU?
People had 4 years of Trump. He has a record, you can look at it. He’s a lying politician now who made promises and never delivered. And after that debate it looks like the media may have been trying too hard to spin his faults, as they did with Biden.
Trump is well known to lie and take every position under the sun and nearby rocks, so saying things like “Trump doesn’t want war” is basically nonsense psychic mind reading. Rather than cherry picking responses it makes more sense to look at a politician’s actions in bulk. eg “What choices do they typically make?”
He bombed Syria, helped Saudi Arabia massacre people in Yemen and bombed an Iranian government official in Iraq in hopes of starting a war with Iran. These are not the actions of an anti war candidate.
Similarly saying “peacefully” once in a speech then following it with 10-20 “fight like hells” and similar over the next 50 minutes isn’t really that convincing of an argument. If I told you to be peaceful once and told you to fight somebody 10-20 times, what would your takeaway be?
A jury convicted Trump, not E Jean Caroll. Her testimony was a piece, but again a jury takes into account things like the fact that he frequently used assaulting women in changing rooms as a routine he employed. He had statements suggesting assaulting women was just normal behavior for a celebrity.
If you want to cherry pick Trump’s history that’s fine, just know that everybody sees you lying to them and will see you as a liar.
The culture war is an important piece of the conservative agenda- it isolates and eliminates the various groups that will group together to support non-conservatives.
Post Offices are directly mentioned in the constitution as a job of the federal gov. Its so crazy to me how much cover the US media gives republicans when they do their nonsense.
hell yeah those guys fucking ripped shit up
This guy needs more taxes to pay. He’s clearly got too much time on his hands.
I was thinking it was more to do with dancing, possibly even music. It could even be something really weird.
Usually the way to identify if its about hunting/war or not is to find the exceptions and links: do hunters that perform really, really well have 3x the visual cortex neurons? Is it a socialization thing where doing certain tasks results in higher brain differentiation?
There’s a lot of questions
he did have one answer to the obamacare question he had the “concepts of a plan” which is almost as stupid/funny as saying “my dog ate it”
It would have been the funniest thing in the world if Harris had latched on to that and been like "Maybe you should take another 6-10 years to golf and think about it then come back. "
I’m fairly certain most rich people cast ballots in multiple states. A federal voter ID system would prevent this by being able to track poll location, but obviously the republican solution wouldn’t stop illegal acts by rich people.
The other crazy part is a law requiring states to establish citizenship… which is solely the responsibility of the feds.
He also has about a 30% chance of trump dying in the next 5 years and becoming president
I get the desire to respond to current events but there’s nothing wrong with being a bit curious about why people don’t like the guy. Its weird to have so much grace for some random dude and none for the people criticizing him.
The media has sort of tossed him in with the “people who upset feminists” camp but like mostly its his “howto commit human trafficking” type videos that are generating criminal lawsuits.
don’t compare Tate to Assange. Tate is a common criminal who is dumb enough to go on camera and made howto videos on human trafficking and then tried to sell them to kids.
RFK Jr slowly pushing a half eaten pet under a rug.
my guess is that why republicans like it how it is: making government more fractured and complicated makes it easier for people to buy into their narratives about deregulation.
The allegations surrounding tate are more extreme than epstein and he has many recorded instances of himself describing the methods. This is a case that in US court would probably be easier to prosecute.
for every school shooting there’s like 5 “school lockdown because of unidentified person on campus”
