Because the current admin needs someone to pin this on to appear competent and strong because that’s the foundation of their entire worldview. And they need him to fit an ideological profile so they have something to point to as justification as they continue to escalate their response to political dissent.

Case in point: Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air for deviating from the accepted party line because the FCC threatened ABC/Disney with retaliation.

JD Vance the type of dude to say “no homo” when his wife finally forces him to wash his bunghole

Land of the thief, home of the slave

I don’t know anything about passkeys but if Microsoft is pushing for them I am immediately suspicious. I am admittedly paranoid but if you have been an adult using a computer over the past ~15 years and aren’t paranoid you haven’t been paying enough attention

Purity tests are dangerous.

Gotta love how it’s only a purity test when it’s progressives asking for concessions from the center. When the center doesn’t want to compromise it’s never obstinacy, it’s merely “pragmatism” but the left is expected to concede nearly everything. Phooey!

Why would he be fired for hitting his talking points? They feed him the line and he speaks the line.

If there is backlash enough, a canned apology is transmitted. If the response goes the other way, they consider the window shifted and prepare for the next milestone.

This was Vance’s plan all along: become Vice President so he could get the CIA to initiate an entrapment operation to coerce some internet loser to shoot Charlie Kirk so he could take over his podcast.

The mind boggles

how about reconsidering your position instead of just regretting saying you support eugenics out loud?

jokes on you, I’m too old to be drafted…they’ll probably just send me to the prison farm to harvest strawberries

guys, enough with the foreplay and kiss already

I think people have a pretty distorted view of the cultural background of ww2: Folks were anti-Nazis because they were “the bad guys”, not because of their ideology. I mean, sure , a fair few people probably thought fascism was shit but the popular acrimony against Germany et al was not anti-fascist in essence. it was simply old-fashioned war and they were the enemy.

Just like all the racist jokes your shitty uncle made about Saddam in the 90s and/or 2000s

that’s why I specified secular scholars.

that’s certainly a take that most secular scholars of early christianity would disagree with but do you

through the secret force technique of “who gives a fuck”

I’m super not stoked on this event, I know that makes me a big softy or whatever but I’m not gonna be the one celebrating blood and death and mayhem regardless of who it is…BUT Charlie Kirk is was one of the leading big mouths pushing political discourse to this point. He’s been helping fill the tinderbox and somebody just dropped a lit match into his lap.

I just hope to God they don’t try to spin this into a store-brand Reichstag Fire moment since they can’t get any big reaction from the Nat’l Guard presence.

that’s some delicious red herring you’ve got there
