It's more than that. Not only is Thanos the bad guy, but the entire movie builds up to Thanos and his plan being inevitable before being utterly owned twice.

I loving hate that the republicans are so shameless in defending this president. Gohmert is especially bad claiming that all the Russia stuff was debunked, the Ukraine stuff was not a quid pro quo (Trump released the aid, checkmate. Please don't look at the timing or the actions surrounding it!), that this whole thing is a giant sham because the IG report says [opposite of reality] and :siren: Nancy Pelosi :siren: and those durned liberals hate our president.

Why are you all doing this to yourselves? Just mute the Repubs when they're on and unmute when it goes back to the Dem's for goodness sakes....
What does this accomplish? Maybe mental health? We talk about how republicans are in their own bubble, but pretending it isn't happening doesn't make it go away. They aren't changing my mind, it's just so infuriating that this is happening and the base eats it up.

The democrats need to do better messaging but I doubt it will happen when people like pelosi and schumer are running the party. We need the young firebrands to cut through all this bullshit. Think about how fox news brainwashes the people that watch that. We will never counteract that. What we need to do is inspire more people and Pelosi just doesn't do that.
Remember the clapping thing? Any smart person would've latched onto that or even let people guess, but Pelosi went out of her way to say it was genuine.

If republicans get annihilated in the 2020 elections, will they continue with their disingenuous "everything you do is partisan" garbage? I hate that it's the dems who are being partisan because not a single rep defects, but the reps aren't being partisan when their garbage passes along party lines.

Oh good it's just like anyone running against Trump is going to be called an evil socialist, even someone like Biden.

I'm not posting in bad faith, I think they should actually let the Republicans call Hunter Biden.
What is the relevance to the impeachment? You know, other than "look they got him to testify so he obviously did something wrong, Trump was right"?

Plays into the GOP's hand. Hunter testifying -> we were right all along -> Trump did nothing wrong.

Instead it will be we don't care if Trump did the crimes and neither do our supporters, #MAGA2020.

I know this "trial" has been a foregone conclusion, but it really sucks that our government is such a failure that we can't even get witnesses in a trial.

I also really, really, really hate the talking point "the dems are being so partisan!" The GOP is the one plugging their ears and screaming not wanting to do anything, not the dems. The only partisanship is that the GOP is firmly attached to Trump's rear end in a top hat, human centipede style.

Nah, close it up. The ones in power are cementing their power. I fully expect a bigger popular vote margin but we still get hosed by the EC, by design. It's over.

There is also a laundry list of crimes that the House could draw up articles on after this farce is over.
I'm not sure that will help. Trump is already going to be banging the drum that he was totally exonerated, this will just give him more ammo for the "hoax" investigations against him. Beat Russia, beat Ukraine, what will those silly dems try next?

I don't see what there is to gain from it on the dem side. I'd love to think that securing this anchor around the GOP is going to help, but their supporters are actually very cool with it so what's the point?

Collins already said she’d acquit and thinks the president learned his lesson and apparently stands by it even in the face of him explicitly saying she’s dumb and he learned nothing because he did nothing wrong. She’s a loving idiot.

Edit: it would be a serious and funny thumb to the eye if even one gop senator said convict and took away trumps dumb argument about it being 100% partisan.

I have always had the impression Mormons are at least, for the most part, acting in good faith in accordance with their religion. This doesn't mean their horrendous right wing poo poo is okay.

It does distinguish them from Evangelical Christians who are just spiteful horrendous shits that twist their religion to justify their right wing garbage.
This is incredibly wrong. Mormons are just as two faced as any other religious people, probably even moreso since their gospel is living. Look at their “relevations” about polygamy and black people that just so happen to line up with other events.

Putting a facade of righteousness on evil is still evil. Look at mitt Romney.

I mean if you want anecdotal evidence then I can point to tons of examples as a former member.

The old joke "why don't you take a single mormon fishing? they'll drink all you're beer" is absolutely accurate.

This, I'm just talking about personal experience plus what I've observed having Mormon politicians . Definitely not trying to praise the Mormon church.


Yeah I'm not talking about perfect adherence to the faith, I'm talking about "Jesus would put children in concentration camps because they're refugees".

Edit: I'm probably wrong for over-generalizing. Just every Morman I've met seemed like they were at least trying to be a good person even if we completely disagreed what that meant. Whereas every person I've ever met who volunteered themselves as an evengelical Christian was a spiteful piece of poo poo.

I might be catching a proxy for "white male Southerner" though.
That's fair. I am just trying to point out that Mormons shouldn't get a pass because of extremely lovely evangelicals. They will absolutely try to use their faith as justification, like my sister voting for Trump because :byodame: abortion :byodame: while conveniently ignoring all of the other un-Christlike things Trump says and does.
