  • Schumer Says Democrats Will Try to Restore Clean Energy Tax Credits

    Jump

  • No. Come on. Chuck was there when Obama squandered a majority. You can't wait until you know you'll win to even try. Leadership means making the case for doing what's right, not collecting a paycheck until conditions get so bad the voters demand action. Consevatives sure as shit don't wait until they have a majority to advance their agenda.

    Of course, that's the problem. Chuck is a corporate-owned centrist hired to be opposition in name only. He's not the solution to any problem we face.

  • My theory was that he dipped out of the GOP spotlight to plan his return post-Trump and play the part of the reasonable conservative.

  • NASA to spend $20 billion on moon base, cancel orbiting lunar station

  • That figure seems simultaneously too low and also a collosal waste of money, but I think I'd feel differently if it wasn't proposed under Trump's regime.

  • "Idiots! You should pan fry the mirepoix in a little oil to soften them and get all the toasty flavor before you add it to the soup," you say to the cannibal from inside the pot.

  • Welcome to the post-truth reality. Everyone everywhere is being disingenuous. Sincerity is a self-imposed handicap, holding yourself to a higher standard than the people who would subjugate you for fun and profit.

  • Yeah, I'm usually one of those people to jump on a conspiracy. I just don't believe there's any meat on this particular bone.

  • It's just a progressive conspiracy and brown people are at fault.

  • It's not even that complicated. A comservative doesn't care if anyone else loses, as long as they feel like they win.

  • That's because Conservativism isn't really am ideology. It's psychological cover for being selfish. Conservatives define their core values based on whatever is good for the people within the Conservative group. They believe that they are the good people, the special people, and that they are entitled to whatever they want. Anyone that stands in their way is evil. Any facts that challenge their world view are lies. Any crimes they commit in service to their goals are justified.

    Conservatives don't care about gas prices or unborn babies or racism unless those issues help them get elected. Conservatives get abortions when they want them. They will even blame other people getting abortions "for no reason" as the reason why they can't get their own "totally justified and moral" abortion.

    They start wars, make trade agreements, and deregulate inustries that raise gas prices, because someone is getting rich from the high gas prices. When Conservatives are in charge and prices go up, they will tell you it is your patriotic duty to fuel up you SUV and drive around.

    Even the racism is entirely user dependent. Black conservatives, Latino conservatives, Asian conservatives, Jewish conservatives, Islamic conservatives, Russian conservatives, they all hate someone and they all pretend to be the most persecuted people. It doesn't matter if they all hate the same people, as long as they hate somebody.

    This is not politics. It's pathological narcissism.

  • I had an English teacher who hated the word "poetical." It means "poetic." Our textbook used "poetical" in the poetry chapter several times, and she made us scratch out the "al" if it hadn't been already.

    This just made me think of that.

  • At least 16 US military aircraft have been lost since the start of the war with Iran

  • Sure, take your pick. I like the school comparison because it's easier to visualize. But you're right, spending at the federal level would be more distributed across all programs.

  • Trump has raped children, is a convicted felon, and demolished part of the White House. He's threatened reporters with execution, demanded personal enrichment as part of foreign trade, incited a terrorist attack on the Capitol building, and then pardoned the terrorists convicted of their crimes. He has openly solicited bribes and disclosed classified data to our enemies that resulted in the deaths of American agents abroad.

    His supporters will not move an inch regardless of how many soldiers they see dying.

  • Each one costs as much as a state of the art high school, including 1 year of teacher salaries. That's 16 districts that could have had better education, and maybe we would have smarter voters, and maybe elect fewer shitbags.

  • Chuck Norris dies aged 86.

    Jump

  • Yeah, the memes were funny, and he made some fun action movies, but the real man was not worthy of veneration. Dying doesn't change his legacy, it cements it. There's no more time for him to become a better person than he was.

  • Florida Republican student group sues university after suspension over Nazi salute post

  • You don't have a first amendment right to have a University of Florida chapter of the College Republicans. The University does have the right to dissolve clubs and organizations associated with the school if they are engaged in any conduct it deems inappropriate.

  • YSK that Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified.

  • You don't have to be a psychopath to obtain power, but it makes it easier. You do have to be a psychopath to want the power to murder indiscriminately.
