And this is why the Left can’t win.
It’s too obsessed with purity and infighting to focus on the true enemy.
The fascists, on the other hand, focus on the true enemy, then focus on purity and infighting!
I should’ve put a /s at the end. The joke was too good.
The gish gallop has gone mainstream.
What we needed, twenty to forty years ago at the bare minimum, were journalists who were willing to shut that shit down.
I remember being a child watching the news with my parents and seeing an oil company defender accusing the scientists of chasing profits.
Like what the fuck? How did that not end immediately with “And who is currently profiting?” is and always has been beyond me.
…I’m not sure that’s a great example of the gish gallop. Technically.
My point was that we now report the untrue claims rather than saying, from the start, “This candidate said something completely false and not worth repeating.”
For clicks, views, the algorithm, for profit. Nope. It was all to game the system in order to destroy it.
Sorry, this probably isn’t coherent but I’m tired and tipsy, and I’ve chosen to hit save.
Shit like this fuels the deep state nonsense.
This isn’t a secret Supreme Court, it’s just something public that you didn’t know about before.
They’re just public administrators. It’s how government works.
The Heritage Foundation wants control of the government. They will wait out Trump, letting him take the blame for most of Project 2025.
And they’ve infiltrated the Democratic Party too. They’re our very own HYDRA, and every one of their operatives will have to go.
That got a genuine laugh out of me.
Nah, he knows the postal service can now just be shut down, Constitution be damned. He did his job and burned down his competition.
He goes back to Metropolis.
He owns The Daily Planet.
He charged people to do it.
He was a professional terrorist.
It is definitely not too late for that.
I don’t see it that way at all.
This woman has no credibility at all due to her prior words and actions, and even if it were not true, giving a speech in front of the House of Representatives is not the right venue.
So what is she doing? Wasting all our time.
Examples? I’m really curious!
What’s a better resource?
Or we will pull through it, jettisoning the billionaire capitalist class and learning how to survive and thrive again.
Do I believe it? Fuck no. But it’s not worth discarding the possibility. I’ve spent my life trying to be better. Others can too. And enough people trying to be better might be able to pull through.
Stressed as all hell. My job depends on the things Trump is currently trying to block. If that goes, I dunno how to pay the mortgage.
So I’m exhausted, haven’t slept well in a week. Otherwise okay. I’ve got my family and my pets. Friends to play games with.
Or ships it off to a country struggling to develop its economy so they can crash that country’s textile industry.
‘The Mount Lyell shrew (Sorex lyelli) is 9 to 10 centimeters long and weighs between 2 and 3 grams, according to the researchers’ measurements.’
…really? That’s insanely light for such a long body.
My family group would love this, but my friend group would not.
Not surprisingly, my friends haven’t watched Taskmaster but most of my family group have.
My cousin was even on the covid bit where they aired people doing a task in their kitchen. He isn’t in the group, but his parents are.
I should’ve given the full context - when I was a kid watching the news with my parents it was likely late in the Carter administration, or early in Reagan’s. So yeah, fully agreed.
