Have another drink, Bev... cheers!

Just have the Doc check your liver, m'K?

All that word salad and not a bit of argument anywhere in it.

Are you and 1Nut having an affair? Does Mrs. Bev know?

Think of the children!!

The Trump Crime Family is what Trumpers voted for, and they are damn proud of it!

Well, Cult is, but the swing voters they hornswoggled are just waiting to get their chance at revenge votes.

1Nut obviously can't distinguish taxonomy from taxicabs... nor admit that his false dichotomy of posters here is all in his tiny little head.

There's no real division here on the Left between those of us who want all or nothing and those who are willing to address political policies individually.

You just made that crappola up for your attention trolling... a way to separate yourself from the rest of us, because you just KNOW you are better than everyone else here.

But you not recognizing your own false dichotomies is... well, it's hilarious, really.

The very old concept of lumping and splitting is, btw, often useful in data collection.

While a useful shorthand, the concept can feel ridiculous because it presents a false dichotomy.

Most experts agree that the ideal approach requires a mix of both. Broad categories (lumping) are used to establish general principles, while detailed distinctions (splitting) are used to uncover specific mechanisms.

Perhaps you should just keep focusing on your trolling skills, eh?

- view the American system as needing a comprehensive overhaul.

Most obviously it does.

- They argue that progress on any single issue is impossible without dismantling the underlying power structures, and thus demand that all allies adopt this synoptic worldview.

Again obviously, they, and or we, don't argue that at all.

Your reading comprehension is hideous... you know that, don't you.

- Splitters

More of those here than the others of this arbitrary division you've spent so much time misunderstanding. Likely a record amount of time.

But hey, it gives you an excuse for your attention trolling, so there's that.

So, it turns out ICE shoots the guy in the head, then drags his body out of the car... and then handcuffs him.

- what about the hispanics, blacks, gays, and the women who vote for them?

Swing voters who are abandoning DJT's Repube Party in droves, leaving him with a vast minority of popular support.

AL, GA, TN, LA, TX... all on the list.

"Our journalists report the facts and advance the American public's right to know how their government is operating and their taxpayer dollars are being used," Times attorney David McCraw said in a statement.

"This brazen act should be seen as nothing more than an attempt to prevent the public from knowing what is happening in their country by intimidating journalists from doing their jobs."

"It's very rich for Hegseth to cite the need to protect sensitive national defense information' after he himself shared sensitive national defense information' last year with his wife over Signal and faced zero consequences.

In 2012, CIA Director David Petraeus resigned his position and was later sentenced in federal court to two years' probation and fined $100,000 for doing the same with his girlfriend," said John Ullyot, the former chief Pentagon spokesperson."

oops, thread already up

"Initial statements indicate an Enforcement Removal Operations Officer was conducting an enforcement operation related to a final order of removal when the subject attempted to flee in a vehicle in the direction of the officer and was fatally shot," the office said in a statement.

The Maine Immigrant Rights Coalition identified the victim as a 26-year-old man from Colombia. Mufalo Chitam, the group's executive director, told CNN that the man was on his way to work.

The group said the man was authorized to work in the US and was issued a social security number."

Wonder how much blood Trumpers can stand on their hands... apparently there's no limit.

Lindsey Graham's dead...

"No, no, no, he's outside looking in."

If it weren't for Judges in this county, DJT would be King for Life by now, and Republicans would love that.

He's going to keep on trying though, and I expect will see voting machines in Cash Petals hands after the Elections, and Moses Mike not seating Dems who are elected.

Thinking you are better than everyone else here plainly explains why you aren't.

What you are is a puffed up attention troll.

They were weak enough already, but they look like outright sissies compared the Big Daddy Authoritarian Gangster Gov the Republicans have given us.

Having at least some boundaries on morals, ethics... following the Law, respecting others different than one's self?

These days that's pretty much girly boy stuff.

More Gangsterism, same gangster.

DC bars should expect to start paying Protection Money any day now, right?

He learned well from Roy Cohn, who was Joe McCarthy's attack dog.

He will talk --- about every segment of the Party to try to get them to realize that it's a 2 Party System, and that being politically correct comes in second place to WINNING every time.

"If you are going carrying pictures of Chairman Jill, you ain't gonna make with anyone anyhow."

(apologies to John Lennon)

A winning Party needs a Big Tent.... or the other Party to split and field a Ross Perot, as Coriolanus points out.

The Jewish Nationalist Zealots chose to free their hero, the insurrectionist Barabbas, over the preacher who stood up against the Temple Priests who they knew were robbing them blind.

The more things change, the more they stay the same as far as human nature goes.

There's often a hint of good even in the worst of us.

It's just not always easy to see, and doesn't always balance out.

"Graham was fresh off a trip to Kyiv, Ukraine, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday. "Lindsey was a true defender of freedom and of the values that make our world safer," Zelenskyy said in a statement, noting that he had visited Ukraine 10 times during the war.

"We were in constant dialogue, which I will miss," he said, adding that "in recent weeks he worked on important initiatives that could help bring peace closer, including strengthening sanctions against Russia."

"He was a powerful advocate for America who believed strongly in the NATO Alliance and was actively working to bring an end to Russia's war against Ukraine," NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said."
