It’s not humanity, it’s a Republican convention and the person at the Mike who could have most readily responded is a sitting Republican senator

Wait, wtf? I didn’t know it was resurrected as a green slimy zombie. How can the equal time rule apply to comedy but not news? That’s the complete opposite of how it always worked

The MAGAt party has plenty of evil people, but very few with the personality to take over as cult leader

Why won’t that organization go away, at least out of the news.

…… my youngest just discovered there is a tpusa chapter at his university and at least one member 😠

Fucking stupid. The real danger to the grid is conservatives not letting us invest in infrastructure improvements

The responsibilities of each branch, the checks and balances, are well defined on both sides. Going off script is almost by definition an abuse of power

You’re assuming the executive branch in its infinite wisdom knows better what we all want than Congress? I completely disagree. While I disagree with a lot of what Congress does, the consensus approach is less likely to lead to abuse

The idiots that are us only have limited options years apart. For day to day issues, it is mainly Congress who can serve as a check to executive overreach. They are the failure. Most of the overreach is the executive branch stealing congressional authority and they don’t seem to care

After decades of sliding right, We finally have a chance to shift that Overton window slightly to the left and people are second guessing it?

One of his few good points, and it may be accidental is that it’s hard to sell a tax increase.

My health insurance premium is way higher than my Medicare tax, so I can recognize that tripling the Medicare tax in my income bracket in order to support Medicare for all will actually save me money.

But there are a lot of people who would stop at tripling the Medicare tax is bad. It would be a hard sell to get past that.

The only real problem with tripling the Medicare tax is that it’s a fixed percentage and is capped, but really ought to be progressive with no cap

It’s got to be a tough choice: do they need to fear military “response” to this game of chicken?

It’s easy for us to say they should just enforce their laws but is this just a provocation? And excuse? It’s also easy for us to say any military action would be widely condemned, including from half the US, but we wouldn’t be the ones getting invaded

Why the eff is my state not on that list? At least my city is, but how is my state not standing up for human rights?

It’s clearly a conflict of interest, by definition.

Maybe you could argue it wasn’t a quid pro quo or a bribe since there is no proof, but it’s awfully suspicious

So Louisiana will have a business that’s not in New Orleans (and not a refinery)? Employing dozens?

They can deport you for free

There has to be a way for law enforcement to investigate election fraud. However we always trusted the investigators would be legitimate and investigating actual fraud, rather than being the ones perpetrating fraud

I’m surprised he’s going after Massachusetts like this. I mean, I imagine it’s spite over humane treatment of immigrants and resistance to interfering with education, but come on. We’re so blue that no amount of voter intimidation could possibly turn our vote red

It’s at every level of the current administration…. While a healthy skepticism is always good, we’re never going to be able to trust anything from our government, are we

And make them pay reparations for what they don’t people’s lives
