If you describe what is occurring in the US as a “coup” or “fascism,” or refer to the elected government as a “regime” (left or right), I have deep contempt for you. Your cosplaying as oppressed makes light of the suffering of those who have lived under actual authoritarianism.

Equally ridiculous. I tire of these dumb flame wars amongst politicians and the government.
Pray without ceasing.

I find it odd that I, an agnostic, need to explain to ppl that responding negatively to someone offering prayers after a tragedy makes you an ass. You are not being sophisticated. It’s like getting mad at someone conveying “well wishes” on the grounds that wishes aren’t real.

Also, Parsons is good. He is not $188 million over four years good.

Now I get why this guy hired tweens to post in all caps under his name. Turns out it WAS an upgrade.
These children were literally praying as they got shot at.

As for Green Bay, I don’t hate it either but I don’t love it. I’m not sure mortgaging the future on a move that doesn’t get you caught up to the Eagles was wise.

Although unlikely. Browns needed to offload Garrett when they could have. He is sensational, but the Browns are many, many pieces away. No point in waiting to rebuild.

Jerry Jones actually made a smart move?. My goodness. Maybe there is hope for the Browns yet.

And that is something we should all say, without hesitation, is unreasonable. The only reason not to is because you have an interest in appealing to the sort of person whose life is dictated by politics.

Polls like this bother me b/c the wording and the implicature (how we all understand it) are different. The “yes” respondents are saying, “yes, cut off family if they are supporters of Trump or Harris,” but people can pretend they mean “yes, if the are Nazis/Khmer Rogue.”.
Harris voters are the only group of people even remotely likely to say it's OK to cut off contact with friends or family for political views. Not saying they're wrong — again, it's a question of identity. But we are "weird" to most of America.

I’m skeptical of the proposal because I do not think society is prepared to spend the money required to make it work. As for things like speeding, that could be solved by rigid enforcement with significant penalties. But most people want to speed, so we don’t do that.

Obviously when people propose incarceration as a solution, they are referring to a set of violent crimes and/or major property crimes. One needn’t engage in sophistry even if one thinks the view is wrong.
the actual reason we "can't incarcerate our way out of crime" is because literally every American commits dozens of crimes every single day. Speeding, jaywalking, drinking in public, etc. The people who think they are most hardcore about "crime" are people who think that their.

Newsom’s behavior clearly betrays what he really believes. He just thinks the Democratic base is either too dumb to see this or too emotionally unstable to punish someone blatantly lying to them.

Then why is he working so hard to win the Dem nomination for 2028?.

It is a well-known problem. I know of a course at Harvard for which, as of a few years ago, the unofficial curve was that an A- was 56 or above.
“In 2011, 60 percent of all grades at Harvard were in the A range (up from 33 percent in 1985). By the 2020–21 academic year, that share had risen to 79 percent.”.
