maybe he'd be sucessful at doing it regardless -- but having an opposition that's asleep makes it sooo much easier.
but, you're gonna be proud of calling that number...wtaf?
why didn't she and the rest of the feckless Dems stand in front of the backhoes and protest -- get arrested --- do something....anything.
but...but....but...Biden was an awesome dude.
ok, for me, the guy seems sincere, his stands on issue resonate with me, Bernie is supporting him and that means something to me too. Kavanaugh was a POS frat boy being pushed by vile people - quite a bit different. Where I am at is that I hope an ancient corporate dem doesn't get the nomination.
what I was getting at is what he said in the interview - that it was a skull and crossbones he and his drunken marine buddies thought was cool and didn't know what it symbolized. if it was intentionally chosen knowing what it symbolized, they're vile garbage, agreed - I just don't think that's him.
I'm not attached to him -- someone else standing for progressive values comes forward great -- let the people of Maine decide -- just saying that I listened to him for more than a couple minutes and formed my opinion based on that - I totally get it that folks here about the tattoo and that's it.
have any of you tearing his actions apart actually listed to the guy for more than a minute clip -- I dunno -- I watched a 50 minute podcast and I found him believable -- and, even if he's lying I'd take him over what the Schumer Dems are pushing.
I listened to an extended interview with the guy and I believe him when he says he didn't know its significance until recently - if he's lying about it -- I'd still take him over a corporate dem who'll hit 85 while in office.
4 me, I listened to him & can easily imagine a drunken young marine getting that tattoo & referring to it that way recalling the time he got it. looking at it, myself, now, I'm being educated as I wouldn't have known what it was. Maybe I just want to have somebody running who'll fight for ppl.
I listened to an extended interview with him on this and I believe him - that he was a drunken young enlisted marine who got skull and crossbones tattoos with his buddies on liberty when he was ignorant of the symbolism -- have you listened to him in other than short clips and disbelieve him?
I know some folks think the election was stolen -- but if you don't believe it was stolen...then the guy who left the country in a postion where folks decided they needed to elect the POS we have now....well, he shouldn't oughta be thought well of....just sayin.
people with platforms should be calling for our military leaders executing these plans to be prosecuted for war crimes.
it's been said the fastest way the shutdown stops is when air traffic halts....sad that they're not getting paid -- but maybe it's for the best
it's time to do more than have rallies
with the lawlessness of this administration, to my mind, it is folly to even think there is anything of substance left in 'The Epstein Files'....
were there any demands made....why not?
I always wonder what the purpose is of these...if it's to motivate people to vote blue next time & blue doesn't change but just keeps to their neo-lib, is it good? If it's to threaten that if there's not change we'll bring out the guillotines...maybe that's good -- but they never come out.
It's good alot of people are gonna go out tomorrow & make each other feel like they're not alone in this shi^storm. For me, a post by a Frenchman today really resonated. He called the protest an embarrassment pointing out that when the French protest they actually disrupt things & demand change.
how's that swift and decisive legal action shit working out...ffs, dems are so feckless.
it borders on delusional to think whoever we is (presumably the dems) will ever be in power again -- be hard to take power when there won't be elections or if there are they'll be annulled if the Dems appear to have won -- the military has been purged -- we're all f'd and no one is talking about it.
source? seems like b.s.
