As and feel good as that is, the point she�s making with her activism is that we need to do something now, because if we don�t it doesn�t matter that the �kids are alright.� It�s not enough to post on social media about how awesome she is or how you can sleep better at night knowing the next generation could be better people than us. Those are just words. We need action, and we needed it yesterday, but today is all we have so we need to do something today instead of punting it into the future.

Edit: not saying you�re not doing anything or calling you out specifically, but yeah that�s kind of her whole point. She doesn�t want words or thoughts or prayers. She doesn�t want anyone�s condescending �wow she�s amazing and only 16� praises. She wants action.

No, I totally understand. I can't unfortunately do much, but I do help with what little I can.

It's more that, I dunno, like it feels good (and also pretty funny, too) when someone like Bernie straight up says Trump is a madman in dereliction of his duties or Chrissy Teigen calls Trump the petty bitch or whatever she called him, because he totally is: This fuckbag is sitting in the highest office in the land and can't even pretend to stay out of his comfort bubble for one loving hour. But when Greta basically handles Trump and his base's insults like a loving champ, it's really, really hard not to want to feel hopeful to look at young peeps like her, Emma Gonz�lez, the Hogg and such make you feel like "Yeah, we can totally do this".

Is this The Onion

Remember that Jr. is, perhaps unbelievably so, way loving dumber than his dad because his father has the excuse of being a senile, sundowning bundle of insecurities and narcissism on his mid 70's, while Junior is a man in his early 40's that's probably been in arrested development since dear old dad slapped him in front of his schoolmates... what, during his freshman year of college? Someone more knowledgeable than me in Trump-lore help me here.

But yeah, Junior going :qq:

It's so fun to think about someone using the "unsend email" function in two thousand and nineteen.

To be fair, most of these fucknuggets barely know how to use their phone, much less a computer. Hell, doesn't Trump barely know how to properly use Twitter and it's one of the few apps he has on his phone?

Oh yeah I'm right there with you--I actually sat down and tried to think, who are my male role models as a man in 2019. It was really loving hard to think of anybody. And it kinda hurt a bit when I realized most of the folks I looked up to in the past are dead... some by their own hand. Kinda hosed up when your role models are folks like Robin Williams, Prince, Anthony Bourdain, etc. I think folks like Obama maybe, but killing hundreds of people with drone strikes is kinda not a cool look my dude.

So yeah, I dunno.. it's loving weird being male in 2019. I can see why Shapiro, Jordan Peterson, etc. get such a cult following. I just hope they can be unmasked for the charlatans they are (or just go back into obscurity).

Didn't JorP get admitted to a Betty Ford clinic or whatever for substance abuse recently?

I've never seen the GOP so scared, the only time that comes close was the few months of chaos after Obama won re-election in 2012 when the crazies won out, but that was just GOP infighting.

This scandal is different. Normally they are very good at getting a narrative out, and using their enormous RWM apparatus to spin the narrative until it turns to their advantage. However everything I've seen in the last 24-48 hours has just been flailing. Outside of Lindsay Graham being the worlds biggest bootlicker and Nunes being Nunes, it's silence. Even a few of the mode "moderate" ones are cracking a little.

I realize it's the Trump era and who the gently caress knows what will happen, but this feels like uncharted territory where, for the first time, the Democrats have the narrative and the media on their side.

Getting that email with the GOP talking points probably helped more than a little.

If Pence is heavily involved, then impeaching Trump and removing him from office means Pence gets removed too. So you get President Pelosi which would make all diehard Republicans� heads melt.

Trump might have also involved Pence for this reason.

Didn't he straight up threw Pence under the bus today? Or yesterday? I can't really keep up, tbh.

I feel bad for Greta, because this Trump stuff completely overshadowed her.

I read that twitter thread she did about how 2 years ago she was sitting at home alone, feeling miserable, with an eating disorder and pretty much a friendless background because she's on the spectrum and how she hated that crock and wanted to get off that funk. And to go from feeling super bummed at having to deal with that lot to basically becoming the closest thing to a goddamn cultural hero in one of the premier issues our generation is going to come to grips with? I say she's doing pretty darn well for herself.

Hell, she even turned a horrifying mock Donnie smoothies-for-brain used against her into something genuinely funny.

I'm sure they have him on blood thinners to prevent this. I'd be super interested in finding out what his daily pharmacological cocktail looks like

Adderall, Blood thinners, Beta blockers, Coke (both a diet coke and actual cocaine), probably and additionally the same thing they use for truck-drivers because there's no way he sleeps anywhere near the amount an old, severely overweight gently caress like him requires. Also whatever tanning they're slapping on him is probably a health hazard at this point because holy poo poo, it almost looks like his face is a pancake and the tanning is just butter they slather on his face.

Does this mean that "board member of Fox News" is a more powerful position than speaker of the house

Well, we kinda already know that Trump is getting his marching orders from both Putin, that one Fox morning show (Fox & Friends, iirc?) then Hannity, Carlson and... O'Reilly? I recall a radio guy who basically regurgitated Trump talking points and was in Fox, but I dunno if it was Billo or someone else.

So all of this means that Trump really is so deluded that in his mind he really is innocent of all wrong doing and won the election without any outside assistance at all.

He has to know (or at least be vaguely aware; I mean: swiss chesse and all, so who the gently caress knows) that if he ever goes against Putin in any way, shape or form, many of his post-presidency prospects might look grim or dry up entirely.

A few people knew, most people, even some of Bush's harshest critics, really did not appreciate the depth of evil he was spreading. And to be honest a lot of people were either so naive or so caught up in their own lives that they genuinely did not want to know and would get extremely upset if you tried to tell them. Circa ~2006 you would be run right out most political conversations for even suggesting Bush was using torture or running secret CIA black sites or spying domestically.

Oh, I remember this! Even in my own dumb teenager/young adult years. It got to the point that even the goddamn euphemism became common knowledge as BS.

According to that link it looks like it wasn't until about 2006 that the torture started to be reported by mainstream sources:

Wait no, like I know it's dumb to have an argument about poo poo that happened long ago, but I remember the evil torture motherfuckery that the US was doing being already a big loving deal before 2006 because of the 24 show and how Jack Bauer was portrayed as a morally reprehensible gently caress for torturing hostages and that was in the first two seasons, so at around late 2001-2003 this was already discussion on this. Again, while I was nowhere near as involved in US Politics as now, I distinctly remember that and also how people were raising a stink when US troops showed their ghoulish asses in that giant ad Metallica had for their lovely St. Anger album "MTV Icon".
