| As I'm certain you're referring to Trump, I'll just say that Trump was actually guilty of stealing loads of classified documents, had tried to convince the governor of Georgia to alter the electoral results, and had instigated an insurrection at the capitol, all because he was a sore loser. I fail ... |

So we can stop giving them preferential treatment in admissions and employment? |

Yeah, they would never do something like amend the statute of limitations and bring dubious charges in a hostile venue for political purposes. |

Nahh, he's got a track record, you just don't like his politics and can't separate that out. |

| Aren't men primarily judged on what jobs they have, how much money they make, and how prestigious what they do is? None of that operates in economies with heavy social democrat tax and spend component. Leftward generally isn't toward free market and ability to achieve, rather it's about huge bureau... |

| This thread is giving me heavy flashbacks to how woke social justice was largely birthed online from the ruins of the atheism+ movement, right down to the anti-religious acting exactly in the way they always complained about the churches acting, suppressing dissent, cracking down on heretics, callin... |

| You make it sound like being an activist organization is a bad thing, and you apparently think that, but that is simply wrong. No, I think that activists and their organizations have agendas that make them untrustworthy, and I'm correct in that, it's literally what they do. The purpose of activism ... |

| To back up a hair, I also think some of the "landslide" talk comes from Trump not just winning the popular vote, but all 7 swing states, and so decisively that the result was known on election night. With all the tied polling and horse race talk about paths to 270 and how long the count mi... |

| 1) It would have been so obviously Nazi-like as to alienate even a lot of AIPAC supporters. So, you think the Israelis have some sort of plan to wipe out the Palestinian race, but drag it out? That seems less likely than "they're going after Hamas where they live and aren't being too careful a... |

| It's really impressive how Musk has engaged in such an aggressive campaign of highlighting his own stupidity. Ahh, I see this must be about the trans stuff, as dispassionate and intellectually rigorous Walrus has left and Whacky Wally has entered the chat. Tell me, was there not a flicker of discom... |

| Why? Because I enjoy punishing people who insult my intelligence, and Trump is a fantastic instrument with which to do it. To be fair, I had plenty of positive reasons to vote for him, the judges he'll appoint and the Democratic policies he'll block in particular, but these sorts of condescending t... |

| He did give Trump an easy whataboutism. Not that Trump needed it. Not just Trump, all of the down ballot Republicans running from now till the end of his term just got a first class coat of political armor to any questions about Trump pardons. I can't wait till we're far enough from this era to sta... |

| One thing that has helped me is paying a bit of attention to how I look. After years of kitchen jobs that trashed clothes I finally landed a job where I can dress how I want to, and discovering that I do have a personal style that I like and putting together cohesive "looks" has made a big... |
