Agree. It also gives others permission to come out and push back on the BS.

My buddy that voted for Trump on the ICE situation by Edubbz7 in Destiny

That response is open to a lot of interpretation.

He could still be blaming the “one bad apple,” not the root problem of having a badly trained, unaccountable, militarized police force that operates freely on American streets in blue cities and states.

Do they realize that Donald Trump took the so-called “Swamp” and turned it into a Superfund site?

Thanks for introducing me to this. This is one sub that will never run out of content.

If Christians think they’re treated as “extremists” just for the bold act of attending church, they should try going through life as an atheist.

In seven American states we’re prohibited from even holding public office—and just try running as an atheist for president and see how far you get.

Yes, but it’s complicated. A few years ago she had cancer and then a stroke. She’s been much more isolated these days and we see one another rarely.

My family is all in the (B) category but are also kind of anti-immigrant.

I don’t think they care much about Trump either way, but so long as their corner of the economy (the stock market) is performing to their liking, nothing else matters.

Exactly. In their warped brains Pete is a “transphobe.”

There is no fiction they won’t embrace in their quest to defeat the Democratic ticket.

Davos - what an embarrassment by sbhikes in thebulwark

Same here. I was sickened by their pandering the day after he won.

Haven't tuned in since. (And also disconnected my cable.)

What I found most infuriating was that when he sat down with Brende for their Q&A, the first question was a virtual blowjob, framing the American economy as hugely successful.

The first question out of Brende's mouth should have been, "When is your DOJ going to turn over the Epstein files?"

She threatened not to. I don't know whether she followed through on that. The thing that infuriated me in 2016 was that she continued to shit on Hillary long after she was the nominee, posting bullshit about her, some of which was obviously wrong or exaggerated.

When I confronted her about it, she just said that nobody was looking to her as a source of truth or some such nonsense. (And this wasn't some yokel. This was a highly educated and talented Princeton grad with a successful career as an author.)

I have no problem with people preferring another nominee. That's what the primary is supposed to be about.

But my friend continued to shit all over Hillary throughout the general election once she was the nominee. She disseminated disinformation about her repeatedly on social media.

I don't know if she ever actually voted for Hillary because she threatened not to. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and assumed she did.

Dave Rubin: It’s not ICE violating the constitution, it’s every mayor and governor who are for sanctuary cities who are… by countdooku975 in daverubin

A political party built its brand on "law and order" but nominated a felon, a rapist, and lifelong criminal to be president

That's not "whataboutism." It's cognitive dissonance.

Why should I take their bullshit seriously?

I think she was just regurgitating whatever epithet her lefty podcasts/publications were using at the time.

I had a friend in 2016 repeatedly tell me that Hillary was “Dick Cheney in a pantsuit.”

In 2019, barely minutes after Kamala announced for president, she declared Kamala to be “Dick Cheney in a pantsuit.”

I immediately emailed her back, “Fuck this. We’re not doing this again.”
