The GQP Thread: I'm even sick of that fuck's number and, anyway, he's gone (for now)

Problem is that doesn't fix the problem. Whatever tweak they made pushes RW talkers to the top and if you block them it is replaced by others quick enough. The problem is many LW people on Twitter follow RW people so it still gets pushed.

I guess I don't have this problem Two reasons:

1. I kept my app as an old version with "Latest". Works great!
2. I use lists on the web version.
 
It just gets better and better and better...

It's not surprising that Santos, as a gay person, would have supported Lula in the 2000s, said Rafael Ioris, a professor of Latin American history at the University of Denver. Lula represented the chance for the expansion of civil rights for minority groups in Brazil, and most members of the LGBTQ community were aligned with that perspective, he said.

It's hard to imagine a member of today's Republican Party in the US aligning with Lula, even as he became more moderate while governing. Lula is a former trade unionist who built his political career on policies similar to the progressive wing of the Democratic Party: a higher minimum wage and spending more on health care and education.

Raise your hand if you accidently have classified documents.

I honestly believe that anyone who was in the Gang of Eight, in the Cabinet, or was a VP or President almost certainly has classified documents at their house. It's the behavior before and after they're discovered I'm interested in. Only one of the people who have had classified documents found had tried to cover that up and even hide the documents to retain them. (That we know of, I suppose.)
 
Yeah, while this is fun to point and laugh at, for a lot of people this just reinforces the incorrect notion that Trump didn't do anything that anyone else has done, and that his situation is the same as Biden's and Pence's (which, to be totally fair, we don't know the details of those two yet - beyond the obvious in self-reporting vs. obstruction).

With the way things have escalated, I’m not sure kicking Margie off mattered. I think Qevin would have been angling to boot dems off anyway for whatever behavior

Agreed completely. There's no need for a reason for a grievance, they'll just make one up if one doesn't present itself (to wit: M&Ms)

Can we just start maiming conservatives and sending them high energy bills to make them happy? Like, they want to die of horrible diseases and pay more for energy they don't need. So can't we cut out the middleman?

Send them all to Texas. Texas can send us the people from the border who want to work, believe in Engineering, and believe in America. Let Texas secede. Make Washington DC, Puerto Rico, and every other territory a full fledged State of the Union.

Fuck Texas.

And yet there was zero movement on either of these in the last two years. Yes, I am aware it was a stalemate in the Senate. But Jesus Christ Dems, at least offer some lip service...
 
Lip service will only make the issue worse. If it isn't going to happen (and it isn't) then best to just let it alone.

As for the XBox nonsense...when you have no agenda or popular policy to tout you find boogeymen and pray people are dumb enough to buy it. They must think a bunch of old hicks are playing XBox because otherwise you are preaching to choirs who have no interest in what you are selling.

They don't need their audience to be in the install base to use it as hurr derp. See the fury over health food, university education, and libraries. The poutrage is that somebody thinks differently from them. They cannot stand any type of diversity, racial, sexual, religious, or intellectual.

Maimonides has this bit:

Intellectual beings, who do not act necessarily but can choose to act or refrain from action, to that extent actualize their proper perfection, attain their permanence, and can be known as distinct Individuals rather than as essentially identical members of a species. -- Cambridge Companion to Medieval Philosophy, ed. McGrade, A.S. p. 136

Conservatives have a hive mind admitting of no divergence from their mental phenotype. They are fungible ants, and they react with lethal intent against anything outside their narrow programming.
