Doesn't matter.

What is your opinion of just wearing socks and no footwear?

It takes you that long to vomit out a shit post? .... Oh c'mon. I didn't mean you should actually take longer than 5 minutes to shit post.

You're right. Sorry... I should have just said Nabs is actually a Jingai alt.
-
God damn... you make it sound complicated.
-
I commend you for creating a good faith response out of a post filled with literally nothing.

Gotta give the people what they want.

He sure doesn't act like one.

Just try a euro step in a HS game and see what happens.

Ex took all the peroxide with the kid, and left all the regerts.

*Google* Ohhhh... ok, that makes sense.

I imagine the whole point here is to not give the GOP any ammunition to further their accusations of partisanship. The narrative all along has been to reserve judgement until the hearings were complete.

Uh.... you got the wrong appendages in that gif.

If you're not a basketball fan.... how do you know what is or isn't a foul?
-
I kinda assumed that wasn't Ken since the joke wouldn't work as well if it was. No idea who it is though.

I'd adopt Ghosty.

Horsehoe effect is real.... he's so far left, he's using Jingai's playbook.

Is she hiding inside or is she outside?

It's a little more than that. The right can coalesce around "owning the libs" because they're a comparatively small group. They tend to have a narrower concern range (predominantly economic) and their more exrtreme ideological tenants tend to affect people outside their concerns. Also, they're essentially playing defense: they're more interested in preserving the status quo (like centrist members of the Democratic Party) than pushing an specific agenda. That's why the current spectre of revoking women's rights is a potential game changer. Republicans may be fine with the ideological stance against abortions, they won't be fine if the stance ends up directly affecting them. If inflation can be tempered in some way at election time, the abortion issue becomes a major player because it has broad enough ramifications. That being said, the area of concern for the right still essentially consists of two issues while the are of concern for the left includes at least five distinct issues with different fault lines.

Well this is interesting.... Of course, take the article with a grain of salt since it's from CNN, but it brings up an interesting point about how we perceive government. For this discussion, the idea of a "fan fiction left" is less about whether or not the Democrats are functional and more about how expectations tend to shape electorates. However you parse it, the Democrats have not maximized there slim margin and even if the results might not have been substantially different, there was certainly more that could have been done. Still, that does not mean voting for third parties is going to substantially break the hold that Trump has over the right, and that side by sides comparison of how Republicans responded to a clearly inept Trump versus how Democrats have responded to a clearly less inept Biden. That also does not mean that Democrats (and other liberals) are wrong for being disenchanted. What it means is that the left is still clearly not playing the same game as the right, and that speaks to the inherent dangers of a radicalized and unhinged right. The truth is... there isn't going to be a savior on the left that can galvanize constituents like Trump could because the left isn't populated by the relatively homogenous electorate that right is.

Immediately, it probably doesn't matter because there are other more important issue facing the electorate now (like the economy, abortion rights, the crisis in the Ukraine). From the standpoint of history, this absolutely matters - it puts into official record the things we know from other sources, and it stops the potential of a future despot-in-the-making from trying the same playbook.

Guys, he asked Jim Banks and Jim Banks told him there was no conflict of interest…. also that it was a witch hunt (probably).

Nabs just can’t help but be openly misogynistic. It doesn’t do much to further his legitimate concerns about homophobic and transphobic comments.
