Well also there was the influence of Dr. Fauci, who has the dubious honor of mishandling two major epidemics in his lifetime.

Zients has done more damage than any member of the CDC or the Trump admin but nobody other than covid thread posters even know he’s the guy who’s been running Biden’s covid response the last four years.

A great example of how congress is perfectly capable of governing via legislation when they actually want to.

Since we are having a big language derail, am I the only one annoyed by all the zoomers that think ‘whilst’ is a just a fancy way to say ‘while’ and use it constantly?

Also, it's not crazy that Homer describes it as a wine dark sea. That's really what the Mediterranean looks like at sun rise and sun set




I always figured wine dark sea was describing the sea at sunset, kinda similar to "The death of afternoon" it evokes a particular time of day and the feelings you'd have around that being a thing you were paying attention to.

lmao I just googled "The Death of Afternoon" to see if there was a good essay or something I could link and because google sucks now it is convinced that I'm really looking for the Hemingway story "Death In The Afternoon" and absolutely refuses to be convinced otherwise and return results on what I'm actually looking for.

Do all the US politicians have a clause in their AIPAC contract that requires them to use the word "ironclad" when talking about how much they love Israel?

Liberals are very good at identifying problems and very bad at enacting or even identifying solutions

I disagree, that's Libertarians. Liberals are very good at absolutely refusing to acknowledge problems and insist that they aren't real.

because the previous most recent self immolation was about something else entirely, something that they want to remain memory holed

Yeah it almost surely was genocide related and they absolutely, positively, definitely do not want to even acknowledge that.

The only possible thing that could get me to vote for Trump is being so disgusted by Biden that I want to make sure that he loses extra, extra hard and we aren't there yet but man do Joe and the democrats seem to be trying.

that is not rhetorical i am asking what other vile thing could biden do that is not already happening

i honestly cannot come up with an example

Trump is gonna win my state and my preference is to show support for a third party so the only reason for voting Trump would be to join a dogpile of the popular vote.

I'm so confused by how this is being covered in the news, says man who has a show on cable news

Hayes is very succ but his ‘A Colony In A Nation’ book is very relevant currently and a good entry point to get MSNBC libs to consider that something might in fact be amiss.

I'm sure that nothing bad will come of the democrat making sure to fully normalize extremely violent and over the top repression of speech right before handing off the reigns to Trump for another four years.

It sat for multiple years as an idle threat for the money but then the minute Israel lobbiests started getting upset about it a law passed right away. It’s entirely about censorship.

I don't need to know a bunch of history to know that bombing a tent city is loving evil you deranged gently caress

Our excuse for destroying Libya, taken at full face value, was a tiny fraction of what’s actually clear as day really happening and about to happen in Gaza.

Lol biden gonna be left off the Ohio ballot. Incredible. Democrat needs to be careful they don't intentionally throw this election too hard, there's a genuine risk they blow the entire fundraising game if it becomes so apparent even the rubes can't keep the faith.

Did a ruling come out confirming or you just loling about how stupid it is to make it an issue to begin with?
