Why are you reading this? Go do something worthwhile.
It’s also why both parties support Israel and neither will condemn their treatment of Palestinians. It’s too easy to pivot the conversation to what the US has done for the past 25 years in the Middle East. In both cases a horrible terrorist attach led to an incredibly violent over-reaction.
I can’t tell if her grift got bigger, or if she realized the people serving her kool-aid aren’t drinking it.
Probably both.
I, for one, completely believe that Putin has hard evidence of Trump doing something salacious.
It means that if he’s held accountable for his actions, he’ll be out of the running for the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s biggest pedophile.
Both can be true. Schumer can scheme and have no control. The Democratic Whip voted to end the shutdown. That should tell you everything.
I think it’s that #believeallwomen is a hard hill to die on. Any internet troll is a Google search away from proof that you shouldn’t blindly believe all women. It just reminds me of when Joe Biden had some allegations against him, and he got caught between a rock and a hard place: believe all women, just not this one.
Instead of belief, it’s about respect. Whether true or not, any accusation should be taken seriously and avoid sensationalism. It’s also about understanding your role. It’s easy for me to say all of this about a situation thousands of miles away; I have an infinitely small role. If it happens closer to home, to someone you know, belief may be a part of that role, but it still needs to come from a place of respect and understand of the situation. If religion is any example, blind belief doesn’t help anything but fuel division.
Not having a Healthcare plan is their plan.
I think the rationalization of shitty behavior is key. Everyone is the hero of their own story, and there is no end to the mental gymnastics or cognitive dissonance people will go through to remain the hero.
It’s almost Occam’s Razor. It’s easier to believe someone is a selfish hypocrite than some kind of moral-less grifter.
That’s not to say there aren’t grifters, just that the vast majority have drunk the kool-aid and keep drinking it because of a warped sunk-cost fallacy scenario. If I stop drinking, I have to admit I was bad and wrong, so I double down and stay the good guy.
They do. That’s why they’re so hateful to anyone who contradicts them.
Horst Wessel shot and killed at Utah Valley University event.
I need this Onion article.
Forget sued. It’ll be ruled a suicide for sure. Or maybe you just get deported to a war zone.
It takes a lot of bravery for someone to come forward with an accusation against some nameless cretin in their hometown.
I’d imagine it would take a lot more bravery to come forward with an accusation against the most famous cretin of all time, especially when he can deport, imprison, or kill you or anyone you love, legally, with no recourse.
Oh for sure. He’s an 80 year old man who’s barely holding it together.
I might be alone on this, but I’d love to see some research in 50 years about the role Roe v. Wade plays in this. The Republican party spent a lot of time, effort, and money turning their base into single issue voters, turning “morality” into a weapon. The party has been trying to twist socialism into the new evil I’m morally obligated to oppose for a long while now, but it lacks the same motivation as abortion. If I were making a case to grandmothers in Kansas, I’d much, much easier to make a case against abortion than ending school lunches.
Most of the people I know who are really angry about the Epstein files are Republicans. They’re so used to feeling like they and Republican politicians have the moral high ground, and when that’s proving itself false, they’re freaking out. I now know a ton of Republican single issue voters with Epstein as their issue. They’re angry, they’re disappointed, and they don’t like being told to forget about it. We’ll see if that plays out in the next election though, but living in a very red state, there have been lots of little things I’ve seen over the past 8ish year that wake up one or two people here and there. But this is a little different, at least to my eyes. So many people are outraged about it and staying outraged about it.
I would imagine that Madam Jewish Space Lasers is more concerned about being on the right side of this long term. The files will come out. They’ve been in too many hands. But, this will be a purity test for Republicans for years. It’s what the Iraq War vote became for Democrats. We’re you on the right side of history, or the wrong side? For people who aren’t implicated by Epstein, it’s easy, for people who are, it’s hard.
It’s not accurate. Way more than one user says this.
Trump’s getting crafty here. All these comparisons between him and Hitler, so he changes it up and plays Neville Chamberlain instead.
He wants someone to work on his old post.
I think she has cake in her van. Gotta go with her to get it though.
Wow. Good for her. Hope she doesn’t get a job in her field.
South Park does not often criticize people for how they look. They usually criticize people for how they made themselves look.
The narrative here is that the people committing war crimes are also sending soldiers to your city.
It doesn’t matter if impeachment works. It needs to be said.
