"Canadian adds Proud Boys to a list of Number 1 Nuclear Terrorist Threats?"
That "nuclear" comment was about NK, not the Proud Boys. You really got the articles scrambled in your posting.

Quote:6ix, you stopped drinking, but never took the next thousand steps to become a sober and functioning adult with real responsibilities that match your above average capabilities. It is great you emptied the house of your hoardings, all that stuff you bought at garage sales, and you mowed, edged the driveway, painted, trimmed, jacked up the porch, scared away the raccoons living in the attic, drained the basement, but there is more to do beyond the house. Here something that will make you mad at Democrats because it keeps coming up as a Democratic policy that Republicans keep shooting down. Those Democrats can't seem to stop talking about and wanting what Republicans refuse to give:

There's thousands of them. Even when half of your posts make the other half look like pure hypocrisy, they all say the same thing.
"Democrats good. Republicans bad."
I'm better off buying a pet rock, giving it an iPhone, and then having a political conversation with it than I am talking to you.
The G.O.P. stridently opposes increased aid to families. Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee issued a statement denouncing “Democrats’ top-down socialist agenda.” During Biden’s address to Congress last week, Senator Marsha Blackburn tweeted, “You know who else liked universal day care,” with a link to a decades-old Times report on day care in the Soviet Union. (You know who has universally available day care right now? That socialist hellhole Denmark.)
What’s so terrible about child care? Interestingly, Republicans are trying to make it less about economics than about culture war, denouncing Biden’s plans as “lefty social engineering.” J.D. Vance, the author of “Hillbilly Elegy,” declared that universal day care is “class warfare against normal people,” because “normal Americans care more about their families than their jobs.”
So is that a true statement about “normal Americans”? And are people like Vance arguing in good faith? Well, at this point there don’t seem to be many normal people by Vance’s standard. Only 14 percent of children are growing up in “Leave It to Beaver” families with a working father and stay-at-home mother on their first marriage. (Only half of children were in families like that even when “Leave It to Beaver” was on TV.)
If Republicans were really concerned about the imposition of elite values, they’d call for giving families enough to live on without sending mothers to work. In reality, that House statement denouncing Biden’s plans specifically condemned proposed child tax credits for offering “welfare without work.”
The logic seems to be that providing child care is bad because it’s a liberal plot to force mothers to leave home and take jobs, but giving families unconditional aid is also bad because it would allow mothers to stay home rather than getting a job.

6ix: Luckily for the Trumptards, there is always enough of them in Congress to stop the Democrats, but Democrats will keep trying forever to pass laws that Trumptards hate, hate, hate.

The problem is that any of the arguments you have in support of Democrats become moot when they do all of the other things that no reasonable person would ever support.
Given how bad it is for so many people here already, why on earth should we be raising the cap of illegals to 4 times what it was last year? Why are we letting any of them in at all? Why are YOU letting the Media make you think anybody who wants to protect the border is a racist?
The Modern Democrat party hates white people. Particularly males. Every single argument they make is a racist one.
My old man was talking about a visit they had with my brother who moved to the east coast with his rich new wife a few years ago. He turned from a normal guy into somebody so far left that it would make AOC blush. He wouldn't let his own parents come over to see the baby unless they got vaccinated, and has just sent out invitations for her 1st birthday party that lets people know not to RSVP if they haven't gotten their vaccine, but for the last year they've been paying their black female nanny to raise the baby and she still hasn't been vaccinated.
So I asked him how their pet human was doing.
My dad kind of laughed and said what do you mean?
I said that for the last 10 years of my life, black and Mexican people have been my peers. I work with them. I break bread with them. I smoke with them. I shit talk the bosses with them. There's no bullshit between us like you see on the news all the time. We're just the guys and gals that do all the work and drive around shitty cars while other people make money off of our backs.
I said I was fortunate that I've had many years now, and even around 5 in my 20's to live and work among people who were born different than I was and to have gained such a perspective one can only gain while working along side of people from different background, rather than having them work for me or living in a bubble and never having to be around them at all.
My brother doesn't live in the "bad" part of town. He's got a million dollar house, and they're shopping for an even bigger and more expensive house in an even more exclusive community as we speak. His new "super safe" for the baby electric soccer mom van cost almost as much as my house did, and probably more than every vehicle I will ever buy in my life does.
But hoo boy... does he feel guilty for being white and having a Mom and Dad that raised him right and got him all the way through college on acedemic and sports scholarships so he could get an education in green energy that is actually going to make him money for the rest of his life without any college debt.
So he needs to buy himself a pet black human to read My Non Racist Baby to his new daughter inside their ivory tower in their lilly white exclusive neighborhood.
Then they can pretend that they're not the racist ones, while never actually having to be around any black people who's paychecks they aren't signing.

Give me liberty or just come shoot me in my house. I'm so over this ridiculous reality.

Still skating in front of the breaking ice
Eric Kramer | May 6, 2021 6:37 am
A couple of months ago I drafted up a post arguing that Trump was becoming yesterday’s news. He was off Twitter and Facebook, and responsible for a highly unpopular attack on Congress. Stripped of the powers of the presidency he would be forced to spend his time whining about the election and playing victim. The insurrection would give Republican officeholders the excuse they needed to distance themselves from Trump. (I certainly was not alone here; McConnell seemed to think this as well.) Gradually, Trump would come to be seen as an impotent failure.
This could still happen, but at this point it seems likely that I was wrong. I am surprised at the way Republicans are rallying around Trump and attacking Liz Cheney.
What does this mean for the future? An obvious problem is that Trump may win the presidency again in 2024. At this point it seems likely that he can secure the nomination if he stays healthy and throws his hat in the ring. He may not be the strongest Republican nominee in the general election, but if he gets nominated he could win, which would be a disaster. In any event, with Trumpism running rampant in the GOP any Republican nominee is quite likely to further inflame dangerous social tensions and threaten the integrity of our elections and the survival of our democracy. Also worrying, the Democrats may well lose control of Congress in 2022, and if this happens Republicans will take obstructionism to new heights to damage Biden and prevent his re-election. The bottom line is that American democracy is still skating in front of the breaking ice.
The obvious takeaway is that Democrats should use their fleeting, momentary hold on government to push through policies that will be tangibly beneficial to as many people as possible, and to make lasting progress on critical problems like child poverty and climate change. And Democrats and their supporters should skip the complacency-inducing talk about Biden’s transformational presidency and focus on turnout 24/7.
Ideally, given the stakes, the Democrats would also aggressively work to level the playing field of democratic competition (filibuster reform, voting right reform, statehood for DC and Puerto Rico, some kind of court reform). But evidently not all 50 Senate Democrats agree that we are skating in front of the breaking ice. I wish I had confidence the holdouts were right.

Dude. Not only are you wrong, but you do exactly what you just claimed I did in literally every post you make.
Look at your post history.
And seriously. When did you fucking hypocritical idiots become cheerleaders for the Cheney clan.

The falsehoods forever circling around Trumptards' brains are why Trumptards have a hard time staying in the middle class. Trump knows how to tap into Trumptard brains, pulling their strings and, with the ones who aren't impoverished, placing dollars into his bank account.
