  1. I emptied my wallet to every Senate candidate in a competitive race. The only play here is that McConnell can take the short term win and if the GOP loses the Senate and WH, all of those wins are nullified AND we get four new Senators from DC and Puerto Rico.
  2. This is a far better system than waiting until someone dies. And when one party has openly lied about the norms and conventions required for appointing justices. “death of democracy” is peachy. There is currently a buffoon who spends every morning undermining the integrity of our voting system because he thinks he will lose. And he has an entire party backing him unconditionally on his march to eroding all civic norms and degrading every institution that checks his power. Go pound sand.
  3. I have very low expectations but if the Dems take the Senate, they should appoint a minimum of three justices and end the filibuster. Statehood for Puerto Rico and DC. Add four Senators. Do they have the fortitude for this? Probably not. But it’s the only response to the GOP lying and cheating it’s way to power over the past decade.
  4. History will remember her as a titan; of human rights and of a fair and equal society. Also Pack the courts.
  5. There is science to support this and this is common practice in Asian countries during flu season. Asia handled the pandemic well because mask wearing behavior is common and universally agreed upon as an effective tool to protect yourself and to protect others.
  6. There is no acceptable condition under which someone with a public platform should be spreading misinformation in the midst of a global pandemic that is killing thousands every day. What you call is a perfect example is the kind of asshole-ry that made the US have the worst outbreak in the world. He wears a mask? Great. Don't go on the radio and then tell people that masks don't work with your zero expertise in medical science or epidemiology.
  7. For people with public platforms to not spread misinformation like “masks don’t work” and “survival of the fittest”?
  8. The narcissism of people like Cousins is amazing. "I will be fine, if not oh well". As if he is not capable of infecting others, especially the most vulnerable in our communities. Complete jackass.
  9. Yup. James Fields was treated a hero in far right circles but he never got mainstream accolades. But the arguments were the same, that he drove into the crowd because he "feared for his life". Kyle Rittenhouse's ascendance really shows how the extremists won and the entire party is now just a bunch of bloodthirsty racists whose entire worldview is about power and domination.
  10. This was a long time coming. It's basically Charlottesville but all over the country at this point. Trump's America was always bound to look like this.
  11. The best part of this story is that Michael Cohen received photos and evidence of this back in 2015. Falwell Jr. endorsed Trump immediately and has been bootlicking ever since. Seems like someone really enjoys being cucked. Lol
  12. The indictment might as well be a complete portrait into the modern conservative movement. It’s a bunch of rich scam artists using racism and xenophobia to fuel their lavish lifestyles. These guys were literally texting each other about how no one will find out how the money is being used. They have so much contempt for the regular GOPer, it’s amazing.
  13. Charges came from SDNY. This may explain why Barr was up to some ****ery there a few weeks ago.
  14. Both Roger Stone and Manafort lied to protect Trump and were rewarded along the way. Straight up mafia stuff.
  15. Anyone here own a roomba? Thinking of buying one. Our dog sheds like crazy and vacuuming every other day is just a pain in the ass at this point.
  16. Every right wing huckster with a radio show chucks bogus dietary supplements to their audience so this is really no surprise that we went from HCQ, which did not pass any clinical trials, to dietary supplements, which don't require clinical trials. Now they can sell fantasy pills to bozos, make tons of money and kill lots of ignorant people along the way. The ultimate GOP fantasy scenario when you think about it.
  17. It’s probably tied to Q. It’s the new past time for losers who have nothing in their lives to give them a purpose.
  18. The clinical trial data will be publicly released. If it shows something not working, the scientific community will know.
  19. Nah this is BS fam. The clinical trials are being conducted and monitored by the best of the best in the world. Don’t discredit the good work of America’s scientists because you don’t like the administratiin.
  20. Contamination in locker rooms would be my main concern with sports resuming. I don't think there is any outbreak linked to outdoor physical activity of any kind.
  21. The real time indicators for the economy show a slump happening. Coupled with today’s data, which reflects 3 weeks ago when cases started rising again, we probably stalled the recovery and are likely on a downward trend at the moment.
  22. Except Queens isn’t a dump and was not in need of mass gentrification. When Michael Bloomberg and AOC have a consensus view on an issue, it’s not the case of “dreamy leftists trying to save the world”. Some ideas are just bad ideas.
  23. Plenty of land, high prevalence of skilled workers and an already high income community. Essentially, an already wealthy area got wealthier. The biggest losers in the area were probably small businesses who will likely lose staff to Amazon at higher wages.
  24. No one is putting anyone on a pedestal. You just can’t grasp the fact that she did what her constituents wanted. Practically no one in Queens wanted a mega corporate office and mass displacement of the community. Plus, it’s not like she’s an all powerful entity that got the richest man in the world to back down. If anyone is putting her on a pedestal, it’s you. The pressure to cancel the HQ came from community grassroots activists.
