  1. Just what I was thinking. I was saying he’d do this to some friends on Thursday.

    Q

    I’ll take ‘Absolutely Everyone’ for 100, please Bob.
  3. Took him 2 posts... And from just the posts he made I’d say it was a bit harsh. What I’ve not seen is the replies and conversation those tweets generated. I assume Twitter has, going from this: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/company/2020/suspension.html The last paragraph is worrisome. “As such, our determination is that the two Tweets above are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so.”
  4. Ignoring it is one cure. But ignoring stuff and letting it slide is part of why we’re so fucked right now. If someone is being a racist asshole then maybe they should be called one. Maybe it’s time for people to make it known it’s not OK. Brent is either trolling or a racist. Both of those things would require mod action in my book.
  5. Bullshit. This is all on you and your side. You backed a rabid dog. Your side enabled him for four fucking years. Now you don’t get to put ANY blame on anyone else when you get bitten, you coward.
  6. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2021/01/07/nancy-pelosi-trump-25th-amendment-sot-vpx.cnn Pelosi has called on Pence to invoke the 25th, otherwise Congress will likely start impeachment preparations.
  7. You said exactly the same thing about 2 days before he incited a riot to storm the US capitol. You were wrong then and you’re wrong now.
  8. This post is fucking disgraceful.
  9. Too fucking late. You don't get a pat on the back for sportingly conceding the game after it's been over for 6 weeks and your side lost. All of the stuff like this, and the staffers resigning, and Republicans making speeches decrying Trump is nothing more than shameless political maneuvering to be able to point back and say 'See? I didn't support him! Now reelect me!' Utter cowards. Black Lives Matter protests - with vandalism and looting "When the looting starts, the shooting starts!" - Donald J. Trump. Armed Insurrectionists storming the Capitol trying to overturn a legitimate election: "We love you. You're very special [...] I know how you feel." - Donald J Trump
  10. Coming from the cowardly draft dodger
  11. Cori Bush is introducing a resolution doing exactly this.
  12. Yes. A minority of power hungry would-be dictators are trying to destroy one of the greatest democracies in the world live on TV. History in the making, indeed.

    covid-19

    No they can't. The point of it is to ensure customers are OK with their information being disclosed before it actually happens. Customers would have to tick a box saying 'yes, it's ok to give out / sell my information'. The default assumption is that people aren't OK with it and have to opt in. Whether anyone would actually hold SDAZ liable? Probably not, unless something nasty happens. Like Joe suggested, if it was used to get the number of a girl who didn't want you to have it and was then stalked? Yeah, that would go badly.

    covid-19

    I'm not familiar with Arizona state law, but in California there's the California Customer Protection Act, a breach of which is punishable by a $7,500 fine per intentional breach or $2,500 per unintentional one.
  15. Mitch has become the thing he hates most - a minority.
  16. The next two weeks are going to be an utter shitshow. Trump is going to do everything he can to burn the place down on the way out because he's a petulant child.

    covid-19

    Or if it's even likely that you have all their contact details even if you COULD remember. Way to pass the buck, assholes. ha. Imagine if you remembered you'd been in contact with 'Buck' that night but didn't have his phone number. You call SDAZ and say 'hey, I need Buck's contact details for this Covid thing. They can either give them to you, breaking data privacy laws and opening themselves up to being sued, or shrug and go 'sorry, we're not allowed to...' and reap the publicity that'd have. At BEST they could make the call to Buck themselves, but given their initial response I doubt it's something they'd do.

    THE Vaccine

    Yes. Right. 100% correct.
  19. I'm actually curious. Do you really think that America is the only country in the world that reacts in some way to us getting a new president or some of the presidential behavior we've seen? Like it exists in a complete vacuum?
  20. Didn't you get the memo? You can't possibly have opinions on stuff that's happening outside your own country's borders. It's not as though you have any idea what's going on. Well, yes. There's the 24 hour global news cycle, the smart TV or phone in almost every household, and the internet that provides almost infinite resources of information from anywhere in the world. But other than that you can't POSSIBLY have any real opinion on what's going on a thousand miles away. We don't tell you how to Mountie. You don't tell us how to prosecute our criminal commander in chief!! GAH. FORENERS.
  21. When Dems were talking about rolling back the laws that allowed guns to be brought into Congress a couple of years ago a whole bunch of Congressmen said they were aware of colleagues keeping guns in their offices. I don’t believe that law was ever changed which makes Boebert’s statement the worst kind. Both unnecessarily inflammatory and cheap theatrical politics. I’d have LOVED a reporter to go ‘so what? You’ve always been allowed to do that.’ when she made that statement. That’d shut her up.
