A few thousand people in Wisconsin and Michigan have ------ this country into oblivion. The electoral college will be seen as the single most important contributor to the destruction of this country.

I remember when this site wasn't overrun with bad faith room temperature IQ -------.

I've been following this guy for a while now and honestly thought he had better working class appeal than any Democratic candidate for office i've seen in a long time, and even speculated he could do better than the Senate. I really hope he is ok and that his career is not tarnished by the event.

#22 Congratulations! One Ruble (0.015 USD) has been deposited into your heavily sanctioned bank account.

El Paso has a City Attorney's office with 23 full time lawyers working in it. Their failure to pursue this claim is an abdication of their duty to local taxpayers.

Rand Paul is a libertarian who believes the federal government shouldn't function.
So he's doing his best to prevent it from doing so.

If he were consistent in that effort i'd agree, but this seems far more like selective conservatism that is motivated by his being a Russian asset.

A white supremacist mass killing spree doesn't even make the front page here anymore, because this is the America we live in now.

Honestly if the Biden presidency ends without any movement on these big ticket items it will be regarded as one of the most failed presidencies in US history.

#97 The "we just need to elect a few more Democrats" argument loses a lot of credibility when you consider some of the Congressional majorities Obama had. He never codified Roe, never banned partisan gerrymandering, never did absolutely anything proactive to protect Americans against what is happening today.

At some point people get tired of hearing the same ---- election cycle after election cycle. They have the trifecta now, and are highly unlikely to ever have it again unless they start publicly bullying, privately bribing, literally whatever the ---- they have to do to stop the fascist idiocratic tide that's swelling in this country.

Thomas said during an event hosted by the American Enterprise Institute, the Manhattan Institute and the Hoover Institution in Dallas.

Too scared to say it directly to his wife?

One day we'll learn exactly how many tentacles putin has penetrated into the GOP.

Assuming past is prologue, Republicans will so successfully flood the zone with ----, and Dems will be so ineffective at hammering the point home, and the media will bothsides it so hard, that the vast majority of the public won't understand it when it does come out.

Texas' Lieutenant Governor said seniors were willing to die for rightwing idiocy, so maybe this falls under that rubric.

Schumer and Pelosi should hold votes on a partisan gerrymandering ban and expansion of the Supreme Court on a daily basis. And people like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema need to be called out by name every single day by Joe Biden and every other party leader. Some say this poses a risk of them changing parties, but the stakes are too big to even care about this anymore. The apparent lack of a unified strategy and the lack of visible effort is unacceptable for a major political party in this country.

I don't know that, and you don't know that.

Banning partisan gerrymandering and expanding the Supreme Court would absolutely have an impact here. The lack of effort here is a failure to the point of almost looking intentional. Republicans wield their (minority) majorities, no matter how slim, with absolute authority and zero hesitation. Dems' timidity and refusal to do the same should infuriate you.

Kept Trump from a second term.

While that is meaningful, you have to admit that Trumpism is basically just taking a moment to reload right now before it continues its assault on America. There are ways for Dems to address that right now and they aren't doing any of it. So yeah, Trump isn't President, but he and his party will still destroy the country.

Kempster was originally JeffJ posing as a Democrat. When everyone pointed out how terrible he was at it, the username was passed on to someone slightly less literate.

The Democratic Party is a timid gerontocracy, too scared of its own shadow to do the right thing. In their quixotic quest to appear reasonable to unreasonable people, they just get steamrolled by bad faith Republicans.

You can't blame Corky for defending this losing strategy; he's from the same generation as the folks allowing America to collapse, and he'll probably be gone before it matters. Don't worry Corky, we'll do our best to clean up your mess.

Anyone who voted for Biden solely on his promise to end Covid was ------- dumb.

Does that person even exist, or are you just inventing stupid people in your mind to feel better about your own room temperature IQ?

This is astonishing. To put it another way, 1 out of every 330 Americans is dead from Covid.

It didn't have to be like this.

They just think "it's Constitutional" or "it's unconstitutional" is some sort of trump card argument for whatever half baked -------- they've come up with that day.

Yep.

To the right, the Constitution is either a cudgel to be wielded against political enemies, or a hurdle to be manipulated and cleared, depending on the circumstances. I wouldn't even care about that if they didn't so ludicrously claim to worship the document.

Me, i see no objective reason that a highly flawed document written centuries ago should continue to be followed today simply because it exists. I prefer an objective defense of the ideas being pursued rather than "because they said so," and i rarely hear the former.

If a group of people were building a nation today and drafting their charter document, there is a slim to zero chance that they would adopt things like the Senate, the Electoral College, or the widespread "right" to own assault rifles.

What I don't understand is equating the overturning of R V. W with a ban on abortion

You could save everyone a lot of time by admitting up front that you know next to nothing about this subject. This is an embarrassingly stupid thing to say.

Well like i said downthread. 100 appears to be slow, at least in my area. If i pay $40 for 400 then it's feasible they could be kicking out 100 for $30 without batting an eye.

JPW, another thing to consider is that providers have been increasing their speeds over the years and that 100MBPS may soon be the barebones plan if it already isn't. I moved recently and the promotional service for $40/mo was 400MBPS. And it actually is that fast, i just ran a speedtest to confirm.

I'm sorry, but that's absurd and seems way over powered

If the provider can afford to give it away for $30 even before a subsidy kicks in, then who cares? Most people are paying twice that as it is for slower speeds, so this is still a good thing.

Government taking less from a person's income.

While increasing outlays and deficit spending by trillions of dollars, even though receipts remained stagnant. Sounds like a failure to understand basic economics from the party of "fiscal responsibility."

"vs"Government taking from all tax payers and targeting a specific demographic it seeks favor and then funnels some confiscated tax dollars to try and buy some votes.

What you fail to understand is that if spending remains the same or goes up, a tax cut is no different than an outlay of cash because in either case we are just borrowing from our grandchildren. If we are going to do that in the first place, i'd rather see it go to needy people than billionaires, but i'm not a ---- to the rich like you.
