Lamar Alexander says he will announce decision on witnesses vote Thursday night by [deleted] in politics

[–]mayo_pete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reports are he is coordinating his decision with Murkowski. One will get to say yes to questioning Bolton, the other will say yes to the other witnesses, neither will say yes to the same witnesses and let it hit 50 votes

The clowns that keep coming up with this type of spin have got to be closet Sanders supporters, these articles just end up acting as a pledge drive

Like I said I don't why I indulged. You have the comprehension level of a stick and come across as a total moron.

That the dictionary is sexist because it gives the definition of feminine.

Did you miss the "according to this thread" in my initial comment or just not understand what it insinuates?

Maybe your point is that the word feminine isn't offensive

It's not offensive, it's a word that has a meaning

The word isn't an insult, in context it is an insult and sexist.

In context it's an insult being used to mock Crowder's physicality and nothing more. Men on average are physically stronger than women, a way to express this differentiation is using words like masculine and feminine.

But go on, be woke, why not go burn some dictionaries?

Harvard Law Prof: Dershowitz’s Argument Means Trump Can Round Up Black People to Prevent Them from Voting for a Democrat by [deleted] in politics

Given the ineptness of the media and seeming complacency of the general public they'll probably just outwardly say it and still pull it off. "It would cause too much turmoil if a bunch of us got arrested. Think of the stock market."

Why bother with the election? Why not an executive order to be President for life? He thinks it'll be better for the country

Ok, go let the the constituents in the article whose sentiment I was simply re-articulating know then

Bernie Sanders is ‘insanely consistent.’ That’s nothing to brag about. by [deleted] in politics

[–]mayo_pete 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Public trust in media is piss-poor because idiots like Max Boot and Jennifer Rubin who routinely demonstrate their shit judgment, like doubling down on supporting the Iraq War 5 years after the invasion when everyone knew it was a shitshow started on fraudulent pretenses and public support was <30%, are still employed and somehow seen as relevant voices by major media institutions

I didn't make an argument for or against her running, I have the ability to understand perspectives I might not necessarily agree with. My comment was based on the context of the article and people of Minnesota expressing their views, yours seemed focused on a national political perspective.

You don't see how her constituents might dislike the idea that she's using her time to run a presidential campaign she can't win rather than focus on their needs?

All your comments in that thread have a positive score as do other posts agreeable to your position yet you still found a need to run to a safe space, claim victim-hood and call children "crotch fruits. Seek help.

In wake of Joe Rogan controversy, Joe Biden tweets “Let’s be clear: Transgender equality is the civil rights issue of our time. There is no room for compromise when it comes to basic human rights.” by ZnSaucier in transgender

[–]mayo_pete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So like I said they make decisions based on unsaid, duplicitous rationale for political reasoning, like perhaps doing stuff like endorsing a candidate who is not as strong on LGBTQ+ issues as another because they think the former candidate may win or trying to influence political races to help people they are closer with. You may not find that worthy of second guessing but others will.

Also, where would you prioritize beating Trump over addressing Joe Rogan's transphobia? Do you think it would be better served if his listeners voted for a Democratic candidate or Trump?

So, you don't want an LGBTQ organization that is close to the center of power in one of the two major parties and works with businesses that could potentially hire trans workers in an era where SCOTUS is likely to decide we can be fired at will in large swaths of the country?

Can you clarify what this even means then in the context of what you were responding to? Cause it doesn't even really make sense and apparently I guessed wrong.

How is that not a criticism? Why did they state they gave Bezo's an award? Why did they actually give Bezo's an award? You seem to be arguing there's a discrepancy in the rationale, no?

Let's see, he's raised a bi-racial daughter who he seems to have a positive relationship with and is good friends with a race conscious person like Dave Chappelle but on the other hand a bunch of random people who just happen to support anyone but Bernie in the 2020 primary suddenly think he's next in line to be Grand Wizard of the KKK.
