It’s like the Biden economy thing. The truth doesn’t matter as much as the perception of what is true.

Make a big deal about dropping gun regulation as a platform and pass a federal bill that blocks do-nothing cosmetic regulations like bans on barrel shrouds, skeleton stocks, and pistol grips for longarms. It doesn’t matter that it won’t make any appreciable difference. The headline will be “Dems loosen gun regulation”.

Lowering taxes is a bit trickier. People have to feel it. The Child Tax Credit was factually effective, but can anyone name what they bought with that money? I still remember how I spent my Bush tax rebate. Cash in hand is what people understand. Figure out a way to send the average person a check for a couple hundred bucks every year (ideally 6 months from tax rebate season).

If you can get the boat going before it floods, the boat moving through the water will create enough suction to drain out any water. You just better have a plug waiting for you at your destination.

Is there any country that doesn’t have WMDs? Why is this even worth saying?

I think maybe the only hope is that Trump dies, nobody has the charisma to replace him, and the right devours itself.

Which working class are you talking about? Because the working class I know are weed smoking, porn watching, beer drinking dudes who don’t want any of this Christofascist bullshit. It boils down to taxes and guns. Dems need to let these people have their guns and lower taxes for the bottom 50% of the country.

Odds are that the MAGA sycophants in the White House and Congress are all expected to get this and that all their data goes straight to China.

I believe that is a butt cap for the handle of a faux Japanese samurai sword.

If they know where to get coke, they know where to get other stuff

Hang around a dive bar and look for people who work in kitchens.

The decision was 8-2. There are 13 judges, so 3 abstained. 5 were nominated by Trump. 2+3=5. Hard to believe that is a coincidence.

Oh he definitely hates Eric.

This is made with the Cook Swingometer as shown here.

This isn’t based on the actual election results of 2024, but projections based on 2020 election data.

It’s common knowledge that Trump hates all nonwhites.

I also think that the people who actually write the laws make them as hard to read and understand as possible so legislators have to rely on what they are told is in them.

Another one of those worthless do-nothing resolutions. They probably didn’t even read beyond the title.

Looks like I misremembered. It was popularized following the assassination of Tsar Alexander II.

There were a LOT of pogroms during the Russian Civil War, like 1,500 just from 1918-1920.

Which was mostly done by the British, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Russians (Alaska) before the US became a country. Yes, the genocide of the Native Americans was an atrocity, but 90% of it happened within 100 years after Columbus arrived. Even so there was no 5 year period in the US to be that came close to as many deaths as the the years of the Russian Civil War.

It’s like Trump broke all the ten commandments and now he’s trying to break all the Amendments.

I don’t think that’s being disputed.

Tell that to the other people arguing with me. You’re right about the rest though.
