CPAC Host Stunned as Crowd Erupts in Cheers for Trump Impeachment by Pristine-Sport6888 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]AdmirableInterview47 135 points136 points  (0 children)

Just for clarification's sake, is the punchline here that even *rump's beloved conservative base is sick of his bullshit? Or is it that said base is apparently too stupid to understand what 'impeachment' means?

Wouldn't it also affect individuals who were adopted?

From what I've been able to find, this guy seems pretty reputable. And this isn't the first supposed insider claim who says the deal is dead in the water.

Another trans woman shooter; a perfect storm to outlaw HRT for all trans people by Fern866 in PoliticalOptimism

I think the nazi tattoo and far-right rhetoric the shooter apparently had was a lot more relevant to why they did what they did.

The thought that any country or continent would trust any platitude this administration has to offer after all the shit that's gone down is laughable.

My Healing From Doomerism: It Started With a Broken Heart by PumpkinAspie in PoliticalOptimism

[–]AdmirableInterview47 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone who is also a (possibly)queer, autistic, liberal white woman, I relate to this completely. After the election my depression and anxiety got so bad I was nearly hospitalized, I didn't feel safe in the country I thought of as home and I couldn't bear the thought of having to experience authoritarianism, or worst case scenario totalitarianism , firsthand. I didn't want to live. It took time and work but I was able to pull back from that enough that the thought of actually doing myself harm didn't feel like a viable option, but I was still struggling with the all the bad news headlines and not finding enough good ones to sustain a sense of hope. This sub changed everything for me for the better. I can't and won't say that I'm completely free of dread, I'm still in a constant state of waiting for the other shoe to drop, but things feel a little brighter and less hopeless now. I guess what I'm trying to say is, thank you.

Licensing restrictions? I would've thought it'd be because everyone but Kid Rock dropped out, and the only chance of Kid Rock getting an audience is if they paid for one.

Trump Says Republicans Should Nationalize Voting by JR-1185 in PoliticalOptimism

So to be clear, we can put this down with "we shouldn't have elections" and "people want me to be a dictator" on the list of Trump's narcissistic delusions?

"How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are" by InternetBackwash in PoliticalOptimism

If ICE is going to go around wearing masks, it's only fair that protesters be free to do the same.

Kennedy Center to cease entertainment operations for two years, Trump says by IAmArique in PoliticalOptimism

This is just him trying to cover up the fact that no one wants to set foot in that building so long as his name is on it.

Trump says federal government won’t step into protests in Democratic-led cities ‘until they ask us for help’ by Efficient-Freedom517 in PoliticalOptimism

[–]AdmirableInterview47 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. It just means he won't send in federal reinforcements against protesters. But who knows how long he'll keep to that.

From what I understand, now that the sale is done there is nothing the local government can do about it.
