They are not in a position to do anything. So regardless of the name of the bill or the intention of it, it's not going to pass. They don't have the votes. But they do have enough to stop certain things, so let's look at that-... Oh, I guess fetterman is... conservative now. 😳 Oopsy-poopsy, and, is that, yep Schumer just capitulated at a critical moment in exchange for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Fair enough, so, what about when they held a super majority. I'll bet it was a blitz of kick ass legisl-... Wait, NOTHING?!? They did NOTHING?!?!? THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPUNGE THE FILIBUSTER PERMANENTLY, FOR FUCKING EVER, AND THEY DID

Hell, even our AIT D&C was crispy AF. Every fiber of our being was purely focused on immaculate execution. I do miss that. The intensity of ~~not~~ that natural motivation and not the manufactured stuff that gets you through daily morning formation.

😈👏 ooooh, Jodie you done did it now. I hope you like getting your tits blown off because you bout to get your tits blown off.
I know it doesn't help, but the brain worm is real. I tried this last week. People are angry and I get that, my family is bipoc and our "friends" in Texas talk about reporting all the illegals they "see". I'm furious, but that doesn't make truth subjective. I don't know why anyone thinks pretending that the fucking hill has anything to do with a fucking opinion piece. I don't know why anyone thinks that platforming trash like this was intended to do anything less than generate buzz. I don't know why people think that lending credence to that buzz has any measurable effect in any meaningful way beyond licking their metaphorical wounds. I don't know why people believe that over-sensationalizing a best case semantic shit show is anything but playing into what the right views as stereotypical leftist tropes.
Shit like this... Just embarrassing

No, yeah, that is exactly what I was saying
Basically me:
Being mean to Nazis? That's a no from me dog. We can stop them by coddling them. That's right. Coddle Nazis. Coddle them. I love advocating for coddling Nazis. But just to not seem too eager, I'm going to couch my message in some adversarial language that has literally nothing to do with coddling Nazis. Yeah, that will work. No one will suspect that they are being covertly coerced into coddling Nazis, in order to stop them.
I think I'm going to flush my face in the urinal now. Bobbing for urinal cakes. That sounds less tedious than this.
Jesus fuck, were we invaded by StrawMantinople this morning???
After seeing your rationale, I have no doubt you feel that way.
You should. Arguably, you should nail the to the cross for opinion pieces more, because opinion pieces exist to launder articles that the paper can't reasonably justify publishing... but still really wants to publish.
Literally your words bro. It's right there.
because opinion pieces exist to launder articles that the paper can't reasonably justify publishing... but still really wants to publish.
Your words. Not mine. And this is what the tangent is about. You said we should nail them to the cross for publishing opinion pieces - something which I also abhor but happily accept the responsibility of avoiding. I'm not going to blame a capitalist organization for doing what a capitalist organization is always going to do. I'd be blisteringly stupid if I did that.
Firstly, I never said that the coup didn't exist. Is every response from you going to be a straw man of what you wish I would have said?
And secondly, was it a coup when it happened in Portland? Because I'm not seeing a distinction here. You can pretend all you want that this situation is different because of the obvious illegality, and this admin IS different, but the situations are identical in every fucking way.
I was in the military. It was 20 years ago but I'm reasonably confident that not much has changed since the "don't ask" days. We trained on how to conduct operations IN populated areas. If you told me that we got our training from Steven Seagal, I would laugh my ass off. Would you like to venture a guess on who hires a shit stain conman like Steven Seagal? Yup, it's those cops that you would argue are legal to deploy and "trained" for serving the public. Sadly, they are not. I trust a misplaced marine every day and all day over an unregulated highschool dropout. I agree it is wrong, but until they use actual bullets on domestic streets, I'm not really any more worried than I already am at the guys who WEREN'T trained for the military grade equipment they were issued.
Fyi, I was skeptical of your application of the word "enemy", not implying denial. If you are using the word to describe cops then, of course, but it's been this way since the very origin of cops so what makes now so special? But if you are using that to describe people, then I have no doubt that conservatives appreciate your assistance legitimizing their endeavors.
And if you think there is something to win on the streets of the US pushing back against the organized boots then you've already lost.
It's called the court of public opinion. It doesn't work if we don't participate. And no one participates.
This whole “civility and decorum” crap has got to stop
...cool... You should tell that to someone that called for you to act with civility and decorum because I sure as shit did not.

Calm down combat carl. I fully believe the actual fascist coup to begin any day now, but falling face first into a rake is not exactly a fucking panzer attack. You're trying to defend a clearly false and misleading post by misdirecting with semantics and sensationalism. I'm amazed you didn't try jangling your keys.
They can be used for that but they are absolutely not solely for the purpose of misinfo laundering. That's a proposterous and indefensible claim. Fucking ridiculous.
Look, you can dislike it all you want. I do. I dislike them. And I refuse to read opinion pieces, from anyone. That's what you do when you're intelligent. You check what you're reading before you read it. Do you not check your beverages to ensure they aren't floor cleaner? When your beverage tastes unpalatable do you not remember to check then? At what point does drinking a gallon of bleach become your own fault?
I hate ads. I stopped watching TV entirely because of how much I despise ads. I wasn't good at manually filtering them out so the responsible things to do was to stop watching TV until I had a solution. So over the years, I found solutions. After a while I was able to use a smart phone completely free of ads. I filtered my data and was able to use a lot of sites again. Now I get all my media from Usenet. Every now and then I walk past a TV at work and it's playing ads and I find it hilarious. I literally forget about ads. And hearing the simple fucks cry about YouTube and chrome is yet another joke for me.
I can't imagine being so opposed to something only to invest absolutely nothing into remediation and then blaming everyone else for my failure to act. Because that is what you remind me of when I read your response. You don't get to have your bleach and drink it too. At what point does reading an opinion article become your fault?
This is where I challenge you to find a single opinion article published by the hill from a reputable person about a worthy opinion. And when you say "that doesn't exist" I'm going to respond "no shit sherlock, that's what an opinion piece is, a disreputable person seeking your unearned attention." Good thing we gave it to them...
Well, we're waiting, any day now, determine away you useless feckless fuck.
