You call them snowflakes because they see the danger ahead?? Pride goeth before a fall. Just remember that BillJohnson.

Emotionally retarded headline

Laura,

"Pride goeth before a fall. Just remember that BillJohnson."

Obviously, you are failing to see whats in front of your own face.

I have been reading this site for years and have seen hubris and arrogance consistently from some of the regular liberal posters here.

You've just been handed your --- on a platter.

You are correct that pride comes before a fall.

Ham,

Ivy league colleges are turning out weaklings who can't handle losing.

The headline is fitting.

#4 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-11-08 07:35 AM

We are about to find out just how much hubris the Republicans have. As I was just writing about in another thread, if history is any precedent, they will do what they always do after a victory and massively overplay their hand. In the past what has happened when Republicans do this and royally screw up the economy, the American people turn around and re-elected Democrats as a check and balance to Republicans' bad fiscal policies and overreach. The thing that makes this election different is that the Republicans' plans this time around include "deconstructiing the administrative state" and consolidating as much power as they can into an imperial presidency. To the extend that they succeed, it may not matter going forward what the American people think as we will not be given the free and fair elections that have always allowed the American people to change their minds and course correct.

Laura,

I'm not the one who played the pride card. You are.

I don't like poor winners either who gloat.

However I do find it funny you are so full of yourself you can't see this for what it is.

Not just you though. Liberals on TV are so convinced of their superiority they are incapable of seeing this as a moment of reflection.

#6 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-11-08 07:50 AM

Gal,

You have valid points.

But do realise this knife cuts both ways.

Politics and elections have always been a pendulum swinging left and right responding to the current issues of the day.

Neither party represents the liberal ideals you ignorant buffoon. I'll tell you one thing though. Liberals wouldn't tolerate a 34 time convicted felon twice impeached insurrectionist representing our cause. That's for sure. That's who you support. Own it BillJohnson.

I do realise that. The American people are not fully pleased with either party. Those swing voters are called swing voters for a reason. When Democrats are in power, the Republican grass always looks greener. Then when Republicans are in power, people suddenly recognize the appeal of Democratic grass. The biggest tragedy of this election, beyond all the coming tragedies, will be if Republicans succeed in King Trump and his court running the country in such a way and to such an extent, that democracy itself is lost. They have indicated they want to emulate Viktor Orban's faux democracy in Hungary. If they do that, all bets are off.

"But do realise this knife cuts both ways."

Most partisans, regardless of their party, fail to realize that.

#10 | Posted by sentinel at 2024-11-08 08:14 AM

One of the things they want to do is end "Birthright Citizenship". If they can pull that off they can do pretty much anything.

#11 | Posted by REDIAL at 2024-11-08 08:15 AM

Gal,

Your "greener grass" seems to imply you don't fully realise some policies you support are genuinely unwanted or not good ideas.

Border, people here unvetted, men in women's sports, parental rights, energy policies, government fiscal accountability, social engineering, intrusive government regulations....and more.

Regarding civil rights there are still some problems of injustice and inequity.

But attitudes need to change. Some perceived "rights" are just that...perceived... and are not defensible.

Long of the short...that's my opinion.

#12 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-11-08 08:31 AM

Not to mention the big one... Constitutional rights.

That could include a whole lot of stuff the left and right need to talk about.

#13 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-11-08 08:44 AM

Hey bill you magat scum

You voted for a r@pist who promises to persecute marginalized people strip women of their rights destroy families and implement economic policies that will destroy the economy that is the envy of the world

Just because enough stupid or evil people exist does not make leftist wrong

So here's hoping you get everything you voted for and choke on the ashes

Has ------- yet claimed the economy is the greatest in history yet because he was elected?

#14 | Posted by truthhurts at 2024-11-08 09:21 AM

Your man has promised to strip trans kids of healthcare strip cbs if it's license to throw critics of judges in jail

I have to consider you one of the stupid magat scum cause you're too stupid to be evil

"I'll tell you one thing though. Liberals wouldn't tolerate a 34 time convicted felon twice impeached insurrectionist representing our cause."

'It would never happen in our party.' = 'It could never happen here.'.

If you think your party/group is immune to the insanity going on in the other one right now, you're just as self-deluded as they are.

#23 | Posted by fortfisher at 2024-11-08 10:20 AM

Gal,

Here's what I'd like to see from the Republicans.

Practical cost controls in healthcare
Less skepticism around climate policy urgency
Support safety nets alongside personal responsibility
Balanced, practical immigration policies
Gun regulation while respecting the 2nd Amendment.
More emphasis on drug rehabilitation over punishment
Support unions without overburdening businesses
Increase mental health service funding
Promote self-sufficiency with welfare support
Simply progressive tax structures.
Promote fair, affordable housing initiatives without rezoning.

DB,

"Then why did you vote for any of them in 2024? Did you find some who promote any of those ideas?"

Because dems have lost their marbles, which is profoundly worse.

They're just nuts.

#30 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-11-08 10:50 PM

@#30 ... They're just nuts. ...

Speaking of "nuts."

Let's talk about the headline you have put on this thread.

Why could those students not attend class?

From the article you cite...

... In Harvard's freshman dining hall Wednesday morning, Holtz joined a teammate to eat breakfast with College Dean Rakesh Khurana.

According to Holtz, Khurana told students to "let yourself feel a bunch of emotions about how this is going to impact us in the future, and listen to other people and how they feel about it too." ...

So... caring about others.

That's A Good Thing?

Yes?

Thanks for the list, Bill, but you still haven't answered my question and I suspect you won't:

Gal,

To me the biggest difference between the parties is priorities.

One party might make something a very high priority the other party puts close to the bottom.

You can extrapolate from the lists things I think Republicans do not make high enough priority.

#33 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-11-09 06:58 AM

they also got classes dismissed so they could support the terrorists behind Oct7.

and taxpayers paid for it.

---clearly one pundit is correct.

#34 | Posted by shrimptacodan at 2024-11-09 07:24 AM

#33 I knew you wouldn't answer my question, Bill, because you don't think Republicans have any ideas that are unwanted by the American people or any ideas that are not good. That is blatantly false and the fact that you can't acknowledge this speaks volumes.

#35 | Posted by Gal_Tuesday at 2024-11-09 10:40 AM

Gal,

I did answer your question. Just not in the way you wanted.

I could have said, "significant tax cuts for the rich is a bad idea".

However, I think "simplifing the progressive tax structure" I listed would already include that.

The way I see things, Democrats and Republicans oftentimes have overlapping goals such as reducing inequality, expanding access to healthcare, addressing climate change, and protecting civil rights.

However, they disagree on how to prioritize these goals and how to achieve them.

#36 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2024-11-09 01:35 PM

goals such as reducing inequality, expanding access to healthcare, addressing climate change, and protecting civil rights.

Republicans have zero interest in any of those "goals".

#37 | Posted by REDIAL at 2024-11-09 01:45 PM

"The way I see things, Democrats and Republicans oftentimes have overlapping goals such as reducing inequality, expanding access to healthcare, addressing climate change, and protecting civil rights.'

This people is a prime example of magat scum ignorance.

reducing inequality-that has been the exact opposite of neo-liberalism since reagan, ask yourself why republicans are fighting against expanding overtime
expanding access to healthcare-lol, I just can't, the concepts of a plan not withstanding, were you alive when the republicans tried to kill the ACA dozens of times, they will likely get their wish in the coming year
addressing climate change-seriously how stupid can one human being be, seriously.

This is it, this is magat scum.

Why on god's green earth should i treat magat scum with anything but the deepest contempt.

How on earth do you live with yourself magat scum?

#38 | Posted by truthhurts at 2024-11-09 02:07 PM

No, you didn't answer, Bill. I knew you wouldn't because you don't think Republicans are out of line on anything.

#39 | Posted by Gal_Tuesday at 2024-11-09 04:05 PM

I dunno. Something about a Russian asset getting elected, again, by a bunch of morons would take my mind off classes. The "My ignorance is as valid as your education" crowd has taken over. We're screwed.

Bill here are the ----------------- positions on the above priorities:

1. Concepts of a plan for healthcare
2. During his campaign, Trump said he wants to get rid of virtually all Biden administration regulations intended to cut carbon emissions and move away from fossil fuels. He's also called for the repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act, Biden's signature climate law. John Yang speaks with Matthew Daly, who covers climate, environment and energy policy for the Associated Press, about what to expect.
IOW MORE skepticism on cc urgency
3. IDK how to interpret this, ------- is going to try to get rid of Social Security, ------- will get rid of the medicaid expansion programs,
4. ------- is for literally NO gun control
5. I won't bother to disagree with this priority I support it as I THINK ------- did and of course any dem would too
6. ------- is vehemently anti-union
7. ------- has NO healthcare plan
8. Your comment is pretty nonsensical. ------- wants to eliminate or scale back social safety net, republican governors refuse medicaid funding.
9. LOL, ------- is about to cement the largest billionaire tax cut in history
10. What do you think will be the effect on housing prices when ------- deports the laborers building the houses?

Congrats you voted against everything you want.

------- stupid magat scum.

2. Impose tariffs on imports
3. Send DoJ after critics.

Did I? You project magat scum.

You are experiencing what is called buyer's remorse, magat scum.

Buyer's remorse is a feeling of regret or anxiety that occurs after making a purchase, whether it's a significant purchase like a house or car, or a smaller purchase. It can be caused by:
Internal conflict: The initial satisfaction of making a purchase is in conflict with the subsequent doubt or guilt about its value or necessity.
Emotional and impulsive buying: These factors can lead to buyer's remorse.

Your current buyer's remorse is expressing itself in distancing (Bannon is horrible), projection (I support Clinton who is the same as -------)

Eat it -------, I am looking forward to continue pointing and laughing at you while you suffer for what you voted for.

Magat scum

I WILL be offsetting that anger with watching magat scum like you suffering for your choices-watching latinos who voted for ------- having loved ones deported, watching magat scum like you paying so much more for necessities, watching poor----------- pay MORE (net losers they are LOL) while the billionaires get richer, watching you justify the blatant corruption ------- will perform, watching you tie yourself into knots defending the destruction of our rights.
