  • Watch when one of his other siblings brings this up in a fight over his will and tries to put a dollar value on it so they can say it was worth as much as one of Lindsey's houses or whatever they want

  • Time switching is stupid and should've been dumped years ago, but the fact that this is what Congress gets to focus on when the president is carrying on a blatantly unconstitutional war against their wishes and his federal agents are murdering people in the street for no reason at all is fucking outrageous

  • Huge problem during the 2020 protests too, all of these officers who knowingly used their equipment recklessly in ways that permanently maimed people must be imprisoned or this country will never be safe

  • Seems like a straightforward interpretation to me. They could have just said "If a man has sexual relations with a man, both of them have done what is detestable", but they chose to add the "as one does with a woman" bit.

  • We're really going to put more money in the hands of wealthy home builders and real estate developers and just hope it trickles down and call it affordable housing legislation

  • A Democratic U.S. Senator has taken to social media to urge Canada to reconsider its boycott on American alcohol, specifically wine from California.

    In a post on X, California Senator Adam Schiff

    I really wish we had an opposition party

  • 1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government ... assassinate ... ME!

    That might mean more to them if we hadn't already been shooting thousands of missiles at them

  • To pick just one of potentially countless examples, white liberals are among the least churched people in American society. Black people are among the most churched. And they are key pillars of the same party.

    One can also argue that the modern Democratic Party is a basically female party. Its voters are disproportionately female. Its mores, iconography, ideas about power, aggression, empathy are increasingly gendered, whereas the GOP is increasingly organized around a kind of hyper-masculinity, or, less generously, rapists. But again, this can’t be a party base since a huge minority of women consistently vote Republican.

    "There is no one single race gender or religion that dominates this group, so they're too difficult for me to describe and basically may as well not exist."

    Dear Liberals, I know watching a handful of socialists win Democratic party primaries has been very difficult for you, but the whole "we can have a multicultural society and universal human rights (because that means more kinds of customers for my business!)" thing was like the one thing you got right, so maybe take a deep breath and log off for a bit, hm?

  • The United States needs an all new political system that would allow new political parties to have a chance

  • Stopping state elections doesn't seem like authority a federal Election Assistance Commission would have

  • "Sounds like probable cause for an extrajudicial execution to me. [Belches]. I like beer!"

  • Ah, that makes sense, my bad. Thank you for sharing a really great article, hope it's widely read.

  • Seems like they did an acceptable job of responding to it at least, certainly better than the Republicans ever do

  • Genuine remorse and honest self reflection, which would inevitably lead to "As someone who has committed rape it is irresponsible for me to ever ask anyone to vote for me to have political power ever again, but there are other ways for me to participate in and give back to my community that don't involve me having power over someone else. Perhaps I will go phone bank for a candidate that shares my values or volunteer to pick up trash in my local park."

    "I'm really truly sorry, now can we please move on without actually changing anything" doesn't work.

  • Because the country was held back by a bunch of moderate Democratic party members who wanted to make nice and move on, and then the fascists seized power again and that makes it pretty much impossible to hold them accountable because our society was already really corrupt before Trump came along and doesn't really hold people in power accountable

  • Yeah, a lot more worthy topic for scrutiny is when did The Atlantic get dumb enough to fall for Vance's shit and publish him in the first place

  • Not surprising when I think about all the different ways the extremely wealthy have corrupted all of our democratic and regulatory institutions, but it's pretty ironic that only privately held companies can respond to public feedback in a healthy way these days
