BETTER THAN DROWNING OUT GOVERNMENT. REPUBS ARE ANARCHISTS.

They certianly tried. I saw lots of attempts from the "liberal media" to float the Idea that this was just another bothsides problem. Not sure how it didn't work out for them and I'd like to study it. My guess is it was just too fast for anything dumb to "go viral". The narrative that a shut down was a bad thing even surprised me - republicans all but campaigned on the idea that it was a good thing to shut down government; and won the house on that narrative. The media seemed a little blindsided by their own narrative that actually a shutdown was a bad thing. Too bad they failed to mention that in 2022 or maybe we wouldn't have a republican majorty trying to shut down government.

And they are definitely going to. They need to crash the economy to stop Biden from getting any credit for fixing it - above all, republicans don't want anyone to know that economic policies that don't involve giving more money to the rich can work out. Their problem seemed to be this time the media was not on their side. But they only kicked the can down the road and gave themselves a month to figure out how to get the media to blame democrats.

My guess is McConnell is still absolutely furious with Trump and his supporters, so for once, pushed the media to hold the Maga republicans in the house accountable to their words.

I don't understand why everyone caved to pulling Ukraine funding, though. That's a Putin's Maga wishlist item and everyone who voted for the bill on both sides said they were against removing it, and yet they voted for it. I suspect it was just to avoid embarrassment. The Maga agreed not to vacate the chair if everyone agreed to take Ukraine funding out. This saves democrats face because then they don't have to put themselves on the line to bail Mccarthy out if Maga does try.

Democrats are the adults.

I have no problem with right wing ideology as we know it today. I’m on the left. And we need a balance. I get it. I actually get along better with right wingers.

But the Right today has a problem with Object Permanence.
“If they don’t see it, it’s not a problem!”

The Right are devoid of ideas.

I think a woman can absolutely be an effective president, but I don't think Kamala Harris can be that. I thought Hillary was capable, but she was blatantly corrupt. Maggi Hassan is my pick.

I ask everyone to see into their personal future.

Then I ask them what a CEO look like?

And it’s not because he’s a fraud. He’s out there still sellin. The other guy already sold it.

I’ve always said there would be no anti-vaxxers if Covid made our eyes bleed.

Doesn’t matter the Covid death rate is worse than Ebola’s.

But I love sci-fi films where cities are so advanced.

Compare famous city pics of 100 years ago to today. Cities don’t change much.

Part of me kinda feels like it should. Is 17 year old kids sustaining concussions and brain injuries really beneficial to society in any way? ( don’t get me wrong, I love football but I don’t think children should be playing it.)

Lawsuits. And cops are at forefront. Perhaps defunding to reorganize and de-escalate could save future budgets of Red States.

After slavery, Jim Crow, the Tulsa Race Riots destroying Oklahama’a “black Wall Street”…I’m not so against these treasonous acts.

Like “smelling marijuana”. Liquor actually has to be seen open in the car, Marijuana is a subjective gateway: to a cop’s illegal search of a vehicle.
