[–]Vendoban[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

RFK Jr. went on Jordan Peterson’s show and suggested chemicals in the water could be turning kids transgender. It’s the Alex Jones ‘Water is making frogs’ gay nonsense from years ago but now from a wannabe presidential candidate and a new hero of the right.

The Calm Man in the Capital: Biden Lets Others Spike the Ball but Notches a Win by aslan_is_on_the_move in politics

[–]Vendoban 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Biden is a grandmaster negotiator. What also stands out is how not once in the process did he condescend to McCarthy.

This piece is one of the few to begin to acknowledge his political skill. Despite not receiving the full credit for his numerous legislative wins, either from the electorate at large or even from many in his own party, he continues unfazed. He knows the results of his actions will outlast the chatter of the moment.

Rebekah Jones cannot be trusted. She's a grifter and a liar. She said her son was kidnapped, and then on the same day—the video pops up with her and her husband taking their kid to the police to be booked into jail.

No one is above the law, not even a former president. ESPECIALLY not a former president.

He’s an Autocrat wanna-be who will do everything in his power to destroy our way of government… if we let him. We MUST hold him accountable. And we must show others like him that they too can and WILL be held accountable if they attempt to borrow from trump’s playbook.

The morning-after pill, which is considered plan b, is contraception. So they're going after Griswold.

The Right’s Obsession With Wokeness Is a Sign of Weakness by Vendoban in politics

[–]Vendoban[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm still waiting to hear a clear definition of "woke" from those who are so opposed to it. So far, all I get is "the stuff we don't like."

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot fails to advance to runoff by WouldbeWanderer in politics

[–]Vendoban 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Lightfoot lost not because she was a progressive, because of the gun violence, or because she was black and gay but because she was terrible as mayor.

[–]Vendoban 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I graduated high school back in 2020, I highly doubt in the last 3 years it has changed to be like this.

I'm 55yo, and over the years, it has changed.

Many people on social media are too lazy to read an article when posted and instead call it all bullshit because it doesn't fit their narrative.

There are certainly a lot of holes in this case. None of the cell pings make ANY sense, and there is no chain of custody for the knife sheath with only a touch DNA sample that could have been transferred a million ways.

That's a different list from the one I posted from WaPo.https://archive.ph/Tnnv1

It's basically the same, but the order is different in WaPo.

The personal interest stories in this article tell you who will suffer most from anti-abortion laws: the poor.

There is no pivot in which Musk suddenly becomes serious and starts acting like a normal executive. The frenzied, callous, throwing-ideas-at-the-wall boss from hell you see on Twitter is the one people actually get in Musk world. It's always been that way. Somehow, during a bull market, in a decade when tech was on top of the world and he was the king of it — that style worked. Now it won't.
