maffew buildings posted:The article linked said they went out to possibly retrieve a ball. It was turbo stupid and the kid is dead for the worst reason Yeah I was writing out a joke then opened the article and saw it was a kid. That sucks. Even if that kid had a 99% chance of turning into an awful adult. Also I'm not superstitious much but I am halfway to believing old Joe Kennedy did indeed make a deal with the devil. I mean he certainly did figuratively so why not literally too.

I find Bill Mitchell to be a much more valuable source of insight into conservative thought than all the conservatives with an op ed in a major paper, all of whom thought a trump presidency was impossible. I hate Bill Mitchell but I also wished he had David Brooks' job.

Chuds hate corrupt cops (internal affairs, guys who don’t shoot, anyone who pulls them over, etc)

PeterCat posted:Does anyone have a recipe for making Kurdish flatbread? It’s really hard to do that kind of flatbread at home with the same magical result because a lot of what gives it that oomph is the insanely hot fire oven that the flatbread is on very briefly. The best you can do at home is a longer time over lower heat (a maxed out frying pan) which is going to give you thicker flatbread in my experience. But, pretty much any fresh flatbread is still good and really easy to make.

My hot take is it's okay to normalize Trump because he's normal. He's the president, 40% of the country thinks he walks on water, and we've affirmed that the Constitution doesn't matter much anymore. That's the lay of the land and there's no going back.

The only reason Oprah isn't president is because she doesn't want to be. I'd make a joke about how terrible that would be but honestly she'd be a step up from our current options

Acebuckeye13 posted:You know, when Morgan Freeman said "Get busy living, or get busy dying" in The Shawshank Redemption, I'm pretty sure that's not what he meant. Nancy Pelosi wanted to do targeted tax breaks for high earners and then peaced out a month so she could brag about her expensive ice cream storage solutions to late night TV. Trump every day talks about the economy and brags about stimulus. There was leverage, they aren't fighting. Let's get falsifiable: what actions could Pelosi take in the future that would convince you she does or does not care about the working class? I really doubt a month and a half ago you would have predicted they'd go on recess immediately or agree to these bills with few/no concessions, even though now it's totally obvious, they had no other choice etc

Acebuckeye13 posted:The Republicans have tried to frame the Democratic refusal to merely roll over as playing partisan politics with people's lives, but also aren't so concerned about those lives to actually give in to the no-brainer provisions the Democrats were fighting to add. So the republicans wanted this bill very badly, and were afraid democrats would impede it...but the dems did not have leverage? That's not how negotiations work. The most you can say is that dems were not willing to use that leverage, in which case, we are agreed. They didn't fight and did not even consider actually fighting, which would have involved credibly threatening to not vote for this bill. What I see from your posts I see skillful and earnest post-hoc justifications that are all built on the assumption that the democrats are doing their best. I sympathize because I was a dedicated blue door knocking trooper with similar pretzel twisting justifications, until I finally hit middle age and realized it was all for nothing, that all the "aw sucks we'll get em next times" were lies. I don't know what's next since the dem party leadership is captured by reactionary business and wealthy interests and third parties aren't feasible. but, I know Pelosi and Schumer are not my allies.

I'm whiplashing hard between whether this is a bad bill that gosh darn the dems just had to sign or if this was legislative genius but either way it's good to know this is a great bill a/o a bad one that couldn't be avoided. Sounds like they've earned another month vacation.

It seems like the federal response to insurrectionists switch goes from "murder their children" to "off" and it would be nice to have some in between options. I can't believe we let an armed group take over a federal facility and then just walk away. Future historians are going to have a lot of points in time to pick from on the exact moment the American empire entered terminal decline, but that's got to be one of those choices.

Comrade Blyatlov posted:it was the failed katrina response My pick is the Flint water crisis. The moment we decided, from the average voter all the way up to the (democratic!) president, that the social contract no longer required government to provide anything to the common people. Katrina was bad but at least it was commonly regarded as a failure of government. Just a few short years later even ensuring drinkable water was considered out of scope. From that moment on, we're supposed to ride on the rails of whatever exists, and adapt to breakdown after breakdown. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u2ZynkD3N_k
