Idk, can’t we fantasize about how Thomas could be hung like a black man?

I think the problem is, if Dems do it first, they’re not better than the Republicans.
Unilateral dictatorships are unilateral dictatorships no matter who does it.
You can’t win in a game where one side insists on cheating and one side insists on following the rules. Our system of governance wasn’t designed for this level of factionhood. It should and could’ve been stopped the right way maybe 20 or 30 years ago. At the least, 8 years ago. And the very last chance was when Trump’s second impeachment made it to the Senate.
But now, there’s no chance.
It’s not even really “cheating” that the Republicans are doing. Most everything is getting a “legal” stamp of approval. Just in a shady way that clearly and defiantly goes against everything this country has ever been about.
Hey I know another politician who was pretty popular for his time that did the same thing. Bright young man with a funny mustache.
Yes but could you stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody?
Could you publicly ask a foreign adversary to hack and release a political opponents emails? Or ask a group of white supremacists to stand by?
Could you grab a lady by her vajayjay?
He doesn’t. Impeaching judges is the House’s job.
You know your house rep is up for election this year?
Detroit failed because of automation and off-shoring. Things that could have been repaired or prevented politically, sure. But not directly caused by policies based in bigotry and ignorance.
If any correlation can be made, it’s from white-flight. Which would be caused by Detroit’s massive loss of jobs and Florida’s massive loss of land. But white flight, imo, is the reaction, not the catalyst, of its downfall.
Florida woke and brown? Half the state literally needs to take a nap, and the only brown is in their Depends.
Nah, it’s the Ten Duel Commandments. Because everyone loves Hamilton.
NUMBER ONE.
The fucked up thing is that it’ll have to get legislated. Like there will be a bill that says you can’t price gouge on water in a heat advisory.
And the more fucked up thing is that it’ll be controversial.
And then you realize that this is why we can’t have nice things. We can’t all just play nice together on our own, no, as much as we all claim to hate daddy government, we need him to come down and remind us that shit like this is anti-human and start defining rules that really should have just been common decency in the first place.
Like how I feel when I tell my younger kid to stop throwing forks in the house. I shouldn’t have to tell you that. I told you yesterday, and the day before. And I told you three times today to stop throwing things. And then I get forked in the arse.
My wedding had a food minimum.
We come from big Italian families, in multiple meanings of the word. There was still so much food. Hors d’oeuvres, cheese board, crudites, bread tray, 3 courses, dessert…and then 11 o clock hits and the last food comes out. Pizza. So much fucking pizza.
I’d never seen so much food waste in one place. I really hated that there was a food minimum. The venue itself was cheap, and nice, but I’m certainly not getting married there again.
You know what the world needs? Surge pricing on water.
–No one, ever.
Only if you use the Self-Hashing Orthogonal Tracing Algorithm, naturally.
I’m of the opinion they aren’t all bad people, just easily mislead and taken advantage of. These people honestly think they are on the right side of history.
It’s not racism, it’s racism+.
White caste is totally okay with accepting certain people from black caste, or Asian caste, or Latino caste.
It’s not as black and white as it was a couple generations ago. Irish and Italians are white now. Far more accepting.
We still have deep psychological instincts to be more distrustful of others. But who is an “other”, we’ve long since learned, is defined by upbringing, not a certain distinct quality. We learn who the others are by experiences, and the words and actions of those we respect (peers and elders).
We now push our identities into several different buckets…race is only one, gender and sexuality another, mental capabilities, music tastes, vehicle choice, job, whatever. We still segmentize and judge, just with extra steps.
America isn’t racist anymore. Not in the classical sense.
We are closer to caste, but we use race as a criteria…people of a “lesser race” are default placed into a lower caste, but not necessarily, since blood, marriage, or loyalty can get them out of it.
Will they use Firefox?
I don’t know this reference. Is this a play on Miss South Carolina?
Texas, no, but he’d consider Cape Cod.
I mean, it kinda is, especially in Florida of all places.
Had even half his voters, just in FL, gone to Gore in 2000, it wouldn’t have even been a question who won. The world would be a wildly different place.
So yeah, thanks Nader voters.
And somehow we still have people preaching abstinence or a third party this year in their arrogant quest to make perfect the mortal enemy of good.
The only way to destroy Trump is through a long series of viral propaganda documentaries.
Not good ones. Shittily produced ones that get hosted on Vimeo.
