And to be clear, the guy pushing this directive is possibly getting tapped to run the Department of Education. I am so fucking glad I didn’t/won’t have children. Sorry parents who voted against this.

IBM itching to get involved with another genocide. They can track all the undesirables digitally much easier now!

I never read any of the books, I kind of fell off of Clancy quite a while ago. Worth reading?

And not including Sam Fisher would also be weird.

we haven’t done much to fix that in close to half a century

On the contrary, Republicans have fought tooth and nail to destroy public education and keep people as dumb as possible. This is their desired result.

There’s a magical wizard you must get to say his own name backwards.

Me more comfortable with chicken.

Look at the number of eligible voters that didn’t vote. Their point is 100% valid, just like it has been for pretty much every election. This time is just extra inexcusable because of what we’ve collectively lost.

Hell yeah there’s more of us!

That’s too much stress to wake up with. Pretty sure my heart rate spiked a bit just reading the words “sonic drowning soundtrack”

They’re pretty much used to keep the green from having a bunch of impact craters all over it. The ball coming down from a high angle can leave a decent dent in the ground.

And there could be a lot more if people didn’t sit on their ass and refuse to put in work to fix the only party we have a shot at taking over.

And good luck getting most people off of social media controlled by conservatives. Facebook/Twitter is digital heroin to A LOT of people.

Absolutely. I place most of the blame here on voters. Even with all those GOP shenanigans in place, a majority of Americans made a choice. I’m well aware the Democratic Party didn’t do itself any favors but the people ultimately decided that this is what they wanted. It wasn’t win or lose, it was a choice between two clear outcomes and they picked authoritarianism.

It feels like more people are wearing their Nazi/Trump merch out in public now here. They definitely don’t feel like they need to hide anymore.

Yeah I could see this argument working for Mueller, maybe. But Jack Smith has been pretty on the ball this whole time. There are a couple things I wished he would’ve done faster, but I understand his reasoning. The problem is we let conservatives completely corrupt the judiciary the last 40 years. I can’t really fault Jack Smith for that. I don’t think he has relished any of this whatsoever.

This is where I’m landing too. I will stay hopeful out of spite for these fuckers.

This is the only statement that’s given me a shred of hope in the last week and I don’t know why.

The GOP winning at all means it worked, just as it has in the past. Gerrymandering, voter purges, limiting access, corrupt judiciary, prisons, dark money groups, etc. That is how the GOP has won for several decades. They have NEVER been able to win a fair democratic election on a national level.

The biggest and most painful lesson I’ve learned this week is that the average American is a bad person, even within my friends and family. Being a decent human being in America is an exception. They knew and didn’t care. The ones who sat out and the ones who voted for this truly deserve all the pain coming their way.
