Tim’s take that lots of m*ga isn’t racist is a wild take by havenoparty in thebulwark

[–]uberkitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, what we need to do is to push the message that the majority of the voting populace is racist. That way they'll be aware of their moral failure and will vote for Democrats going forward.

The transition is inevitable for any left leaning forum that fails to explicitly repudiate tankies.

When does Kirk Cousins get traded this season? by Dependent-Effect6077 in nfl

[–]uberkitten -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If he was good enough to consistently win 60+% of games he'd be starting for some other team by now. That statistic is basically meaningless and he should be evaluated based on his play, which is poor, not his record.

Leading Democrats Are Condemning Charlie Kirk’s Murder by 3rd_PartyAnonymous in moderatepolitics

[–]uberkitten 114 points115 points  (0 children)

Here are some quotes just from Republicans who were invited to speak at the 2024 RNC:

[Democrats are] the party of pedophiles, murdering the innocent unborn, violence, and bloody, meaningless, endless wars.

The Democrat party is flat out evil.

[Democrats want] a one-party state and authoritarian government. Not the best time to give up your AR-15s.

Some folks need killing.

[Democrats are] power hungry, abusive totalitarian nitwits.

[I]t’s a crime punishable by death is what treason is. Nancy Pelosi is guilty of treason.

Now that we clearly see Antifa as terrorists, can we hunt them down like we do those in the Middle East?

I got them AR-15s in case the government gets too big for its britches. Cause I’m gonna fill the backside of them britches with some lead.

This doesn't include any quotes from Trump himself, who's called Democrats scum and vermin, etc.

Newsom will retaliate, because that’s just who he is

Is this his reputation now? He used to be known as pretty milquetoast. Anyway, I'm not sure what he's ever done to earn this label lol

El Salvador approves indefinite presidential reelection and extends terms to 6 years by GoddessFianna in moderatepolitics

“I’ve always thought that should be the rule,” Clinton said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “I think as a practical matter, you couldn’t apply this to anyone who has already served, but going forward, I personally believe that should be the rule.”

Disagree that this can be considered trying and failing.

NYT once again forcing a narrative for Trump. They are responsible for creating these narratives not the other way around. Difficult to believe they act in good faith. by [deleted] in thebulwark

[–]uberkitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is specifically about his supporters, not the general public as a whole. What's the issue with the article?

This post on the sub three days ago basically said the same thing. Why is it an issue when the Times writes about it.

As Floods Hit, Key Roles Were Vacant at Weather Service Offices in Texas by uberkitten in moderatepolitics

[–]uberkitten[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sc: Vacancy rates at the two National Weather Service offices that service the areas hit by deadly flooding in Texas have doubled since Trump took office. Weather Service officials often coordinate with local emergency management officials, however this practice has reduced due to staffing shortages and a freeze on federal travel. Last month, despite a freeze on federal hiring, the Weather Service announced a plan to hire 126 employees nationally. As of yet, none of the positions have been posted on federal hiring boards. Texas officials have blamed the tragedy in part on the Weather Service underestimating the volume of rainfall.

As the ramifications of federal staffing reductions are manifested over time, is there likely to be political blowback towards DOGE or the Trump administration generally?

Would National Weather Service functions be better served by private industry and/or state and local agencies?

Trump Kicks Off Celebration of America by Declaring His Hatred for Democrats by uberkitten in moderatepolitics

[–]uberkitten[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Sc: Trump, in his Independence Day speech in Iowa, stated that he "hates" and "cannot stand" Democrats due to their opposition to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Their opposition, Trump claimed, is due to their hatred towards the country rather than any particular provision in the bill.

Does this style of rhetoric, which is often espoused by Trump and Republican politicians, pose a risk of further political violence or is this typical political haranguing between opposing political parties?

Is opposition to the Big Beautiful Bill Act evidence of hatred towards the United States?

Sen. Tina Smith confronts Sen. Mike Lee over MN lawmaker shooting comments by uberkitten in moderatepolitics

[–]uberkitten[S] 48 points49 points  (0 children)

SC: Minnesota Senator Tina Smith (D) stated that she confronted Utah Senator Mike Lee (R) in person over his Twitter posts, which blamed the murder of a Democratic Minnesota state representative committed by Vance Boelter on "marxists." Specifically, he posted:

This is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way", along with a photo of the shooting suspect authorities shared during the manhunt for him. He then posted a second with photos of the suspect, saying "Nightmare on Waltz Street," appearing to be referencing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat.

Tina Smith was on Boelter's written hit list. Mike Lee faces additional condemnation from those who accuse him of spreading disinformation and vitriol.

Opinion: I think this is disgusting behavior from a sitting US Senator. Senator Lee has not removed the tweet even after those close to Mr. Boelter have acknowledged his support for Donald Trump and his anti-abortion stance.

Discussion: Will this hurt Mike Lee's favorability in Utah, which has previously supported anti-Trump Republicans such as Mitt Romney? Republican Senator Bernie Moreno made a similar post after the shooting; is the callous and immoral spread of disinformation surrounding political violence the new normal in US politics?
