  • Biden Regrets Appointing Merrick Garland As AG

    Jump

  • I'm with you there. I am still haunted by the idiotic things we've done to shoot ourselves in the foot, though. Time and time again, we listen to people wanting to do bipartisanship from the Dem side, and only be met by betrayal. Anybody remember Al Franken and what a self-own it was for him to be forced out?

    I can go on and on, but we don't learn and our own don't want to do honest reflection.

    Fuck it.

  • I agree that it is, but I do see dogpiling a lot. And as some kind soul thought to point out that I'm the common denominator, what they failed to note was that I'm also the common denominator of what I see... my own isn't the only experience I pay attention to.

    Thanks for the tip. I'll leave them on. I'm not mad about the downvotes; the points don't mean anything to me. I'm annoyed that for all intents and purposes, one cannot criticize the Dems from the left without having to explain every aspect of every syllable.

    If the left are ever going to win or grow or get stronger than the GOP, which employs seriously underhanded tactics, we have to learn to identify our own misgivings. To do that, we have to get over self criticism and stop the knee-jerk reactions.

  • Garland is a piece of shit who slow-rolled the prosecution of Trump for years for whatever convoluted political plan he had in mind. I've been baffled by this since 2020. Trump should have been indicted after Jan 6, not within striking distance of the election.

    Merrick Garland had to have been an agent for the Trump team in some shape or form.

  • Once again, our side plays by the rules and does "ethical" stuff while the GOP continues to fuck around while we all find out. These next four years are going to be insane.

  • What the fuck does my misunderstanding have to do with "both sides?" To answer your question, "No," I didn't realize that. Good - the only question will then be at reelection time when the replacement's term ends. Unless, as you noted in your cross-out, there's a special election.

    Sometimes the answer is simpler than just making accusations.

  • By staying in office until they're piles of dusty bones, while Dems "step down to set a good example." The fallacy of "both sides" in any of this is thinking that by doing the right thing that the GOP will also follow suit.

    Better?

  • Actually, that's not what I said despite what you understood.

    I can vote and support the Dems, which I do for the most part, without agreeing with them. The Dems can do better. How is that "Both sides?" Or are you saying that any criticism of them can't be made? We lost this last election... do you think it's because they did a great job?

  • They're not. But understanding nuanced wording is.

  • The Dems are so fucking out of touch. The GOP will take advantage of this like they do with anything and everything else.

    Edit: yay. Lemmy downvote dogpiles again. Do people not understand by my wording that I am criticizing both practices? The Dems are out of touch. Stepping down is the right move, but it will be taken advantage of by the GOP.

    Why can't this nuance exist without having to explain it to you like you're 5 years old?

  • Nancy Pelosi, 84, Fractures Hip Abroad After a ‘Hard Fall’

  • Who knows with markets? I throw a couple hundred bucks at it every month and try not to look at it other than to see if I'm wasting my money. My Pelosi shit is up by about 15%, but overall I'm at 12.5% with my ETF performance being meh.

    In any case, it's all fucking fabricated. We're speculating on thoughts.
